Meduza is a notorious propaganda outlet with a penchant for just blatantly making stuff up.

Considering even twitter (now X) seems to have absolutely no other information aside from the same copy-pasted few sentences despite it being over 24 hours, I’d take it with a grain of salt for now.



The article says that a singing show competition finalist reported this event on his Telegram channel, which he did (https://t.me/Mamut_singer/7).

Which part is made up?


>Meduza is a notorious propaganda outlet with a penchant for just blatantly making stuff up.

No, it's credible exiled Russian media. Your account however has a history of just blatantly making up pro-Russian claims.

>Considering even twitter (now X)

There are a lot of things you can no longer find on xhitter because serious people are leaving that bit and misinformation filled hellhole.


Meduza is well known to be funded by the UK FCO project, known for funding propaganda projects such as the push for regime change in Syria, and receiving funding from NATO sources.

Nor are they a “exiled Russian media”. They were founded in Latvia.

Re: my account: I rarely post on the topic of politics, and my last comment on Russia/ukraine was over three weeks ago, and was a discussion on electronic warfare.

Stop lying.


> Nor are they a “exiled Russian media”. They were founded in Latvia.

Founded by Russian journalists in Latvia after one of the founders were fired from a Russian media outlet for work unpopular with the Russian government, initially staffed by former employees of the same Russian media outlet.

So, “exiled Russian media” is (if somewgat awkwardly phrased, “Russian exile media” would I think be more natural) reasonably accurate.


Fired != exiled.
