I think you should read the interview. It could be enlighting. We know what the Russian press are going through. It is very difficult to report anything from Russia after th eRussian athorities passed the law that made free journalism a crime in Russia. If you wonder why the press from the free world isn't reporting from within Russia these days, that is why. Their journalists risk 15 years in prison if they do their job.

Girkins words are certainly more interesting and relevant than Mashas, even if he is a madman.

Let's not listen to actual Russians because we don't like them and their word choice

"We have a Russian at home"

"Meanwhile Russian at home"

"Masha Gessen"
