Why do you bother? On my side, Western press if full with "funny"
contradictions and misguiding articles. E.g. they blame USSR for the
non-agression pact with Germany holding back about the earler
non-agression pacts between Germany and GB, for example. But of course
they don't blame USSR for asking GB and France to attack Hitler c.a.
1936 - they pass over in silence. Or... but why do I need to
re-brainwash Western people? It could be dangerous for they mental
health, after all.
On other hand I'm (and the majority of Russians) quite ignorant towards
the rains of dirt Western media is trying to pour on us. In fact, the
more you critique as, the more we're sure in our position. West wants
Russia to be weak, punished, confessed and eventualy extinct. So they
recomend us the best way to do things they want.
No way.
So live with you history and let others live with their.
