One example? Butter (Butter Prices Spike in Russia. Dairy Producers Blame Ice Cream - The Moscow Times).

 

 

 

Moscow Times?  Well, if it's from Moskau, it's gotta be true!

 

Oh, wait......

 

Russia's justice ministry has designated The Moscow Times, an English and Russian-language online newspaper, a "foreign agent", the publication said late on Friday.

The "foreign agent" designation requires media outlets and designated journalists to place a disclaimer on items they publish and imposes strict financial reporting and self-disclosure requirements.

In a statement reported by Russian media, the justice ministry accused the Moscow Times of distributing inaccurate information about decisions taken by the authorities, thereby forming what it called a negative image of Russia.

That's about as reliable as citing articles from the Epic Times as "proof" of propaganda claims about China.

So what are trusted news sources from Russia in your opinion?

MY opinion doesn't matter.

Russian news sources aren't permitted.

 

Western only, limited to narrative-approved story hour.

Can't even link to the official ministry websites.

 

You MAY quote a massaged paraphrase of a quote-mined statement from Lavrov in the Sun or the Express.

 

You may NOT quote the actual statement by Lavrov from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

I'm not asking for a quote. You're saying one source is not reliable since the Russian government put it on a watchlist. So what is a reliable source in your opinion? You're discussing here based on information, where do you get your information from?
