   Sometimes I hear people wonder how Soviet citizens could believe the constant lies in the Pravda back in the days...
   
   Then, I read the Western press and most have become a series of constant gaslighting about pretty much everything right now, you name it (Israel's genocide, the climate collapse, late-stage capitalism, Covid erasure).
   
   The sad part is that most Westerners believe those sacks of lies, whereas Soviet citizens all knew the Pravda was just BS.

     @DavidBHimself I remember being told (when USSR still existed) that an example of Russian humour was that there was no news in Izvestia and no truth in Pravda.
