Is it worth it to try to get real news to Russian citizens? Apparently people are trying to post about the war in places that Russians can still access (e.g. reviews for high-end restaurants on Google maps). How much impact can this have?
It’s important, although hard. Ordinary people have to realize that it’s an actual bloody war happening with thousands killed on both side senselessly, and not just “military operation to defend Donbas”. Personally I’ve been sending Telegram channels with footage to my Russian relatives and friends, because Telegram is notoriously hard to block in Russia. Most non-state media are blocked, so are Facebook and Twitter.
That's been already blocked by Google, with reviews deleted, so not much I guess.
