> Russian propaganda is really good and works rather effectively. Which is no surprising as they use techniques mastered during 70 years of communism.

If only. Russian propaganda is hamfisted, direct and not very effective. It's magical efficiency is perpetuated in the West in order to demonize Russia.

If Russian propaganda was that good and effective, Ukraine would still be ruled by Russian-friendly elite and the country would have joined some sort of Russia led economic bloc instead of rushing towards EU and NATO.

Alas, Russian propaganda sucks, at least compared to what USA has to offer.
