The Failure of Russia’s Media Elite
The war in Ukraine and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s propaganda are closely linked. While combating the Kremlin’s lies will not by itself end the war or prevent Putin from starting new ones, he mustn’t be permitted to raze cities, murder thousands of civilians, and upend millions of lives with Russians’ approval.

MADRID – When the war in Ukraine began, I was shocked to learn that most Russians apparently supported President Vladimir Putin’s aggression. I experienced a similar feeling when Donald Trump won the 2016 US presidential election. My family was living in Los Angeles at the time, and everybody around me was stunned. For the next week, the constant traffic congestion disappeared, as if the entire city was in mourning.
