The good Russian
A study into Twitter
The explanation is that hateful narratives towards liberal Russians have always been spread in Ukraine by what we commonly know as mafia state - a concoction of oligarchs, siloviki and far right thugs, aided by US think tanks that take cash from the likes of Pinchuk.

The good Russian (TM) has been having a great couple of weeks.
I wanted to write about being a victim of political repression and what it means to Russians and what it means to those nations who suffered under Russian imperialism. A 🧵

A reminder about Navalny the hero.
@irgarner No Navalny with his map of Ukraine. No corruption free Russian genocide army. No myth of glorious Russian Revolution saving Russia and Ukraine. No ‘good Russian’ myth. No reset to trips to Europe. No stab in the back myth for Russian fascists about evil mobilization deserters

Estonian ‘who had a grandfather in the SS’ is evil and hates Russians.
There is an (attempted) character assassination of @IlvesToomas, using:

- Victim-blaming
- Stressing "genes" and ethnicity of his relatives
- And, of course, a chief argument, "Estonians are nazis", because his grand served in SS
That's the same "Ukrainians are nazis" narrative.
Evil Westerners.
В последнее время в русскоязычном твиттере часто всплывает вот этот аккаунт. Это бывший президент Эстонии, который сейчас рассказывает о рабстве русских, о том как надо всем стыдиться и каяться и прочее

На деле у чувака просто сказочная биография, в общем тред

And how do you call the behavior of @IlvesToomas :
He accuses Russians of the crimes they didn't commit to justify the visa ban against all Russian citizens?
I thought it is called xenophobia. How do you call it?
BTW, 24 hours passed, he still didn't apologize for his lies
My sabre gets unsheathed.

Grifter Good Russians (TM)
These things largely go unnoticed, so here’s a great thread on Russian journos branding themselves “opposition” to get hired at Western media venues. This is just to say fighting Russian disinformation takes much, much more than vetting its source

Good Russians take on the Baltics
A thread on the latest Kremlin disinformation, for some odd reason repeated over and over by "liberals". Funny, huh?

My biggest thread yet. Here we analyze Putin's meeting with the "mothers of the soldiers" and this journey is full of strange discoveries: corrupt officials, war criminals, casualties numbers, songs, and even some hope.

Leonid the Russian blocked me for critising his absurd statement about Navalny the Hero.
Good Russian (TM) reaction to my simple message. They don’t handle criticism well because they’re the real victims a#& always right. open.substack.com/pub/fallout/p/… @BuddNicholas Russia always appropriates its crimes from its victims to make itself the victim.
