Yeah, that's about it. At some point I'd expect a story about how brave comrade Putin rode bare chested on a stallion into a nest of Ukrainian nazis and single handedly rescued a bunch of Russian babies from being bayoneted by the despicable enemy.

Many Russians know whats happening, and who's in the wrong, but knowing and speaking out is somewhat dangerous.

Putin only manages to shut down anyone who does speak out by his massive brutal police force. Without them you would see a different ball game. The same with China, like someones already pointed out.
