  Russian z-bloggers process their shock and outrage over Assad’s overthrow in Syria — Meduza
  
  The sudden overthrow of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has dumped a bucket of ice on the infamous “z-blogosphere,” triggering a mix of emotions and rationalizations among Russia’s most militaristic and widely read Telegram channels. As journalists at The Insider report, some “war correspondents” have retreated into denial, arguing that Moscow never really “needed” Assad, while others have expressed outrage with the Kremlin for leaving Russian troops encircled in Syria. (Kremlin sources later told the state media that leaders of Syria’s armed opposition have “guaranteed” the safety of Russian military bases and diplomatic missions.) Meduza summarizes The Insider’s report.
