Every medal has two sides. The Western press and the reality of Donbass 📝 Hungarian journalist Georg Spöttle, who visited Lugansk, Donetsk and Mariupol, stated that the Western press systematically distorts the situation in Russia and the new regions. «The Western press, quite obviously, distorts reality very strongly. As a journalist I look through Austrian and German publications daily, and often American ones too. They constantly spread lies about Russia and about the attitude of the population of the liberated regions towards it», — the journalist recounted in an interview with RIA Novosti. 👥 According to Georg, he was able to see the real picture only after a personal trip and communication with residents. Spöttle recounted that he moved freely around the cities and could talk with locals. In his words, other journalists who were in Donbass together with him also saw a region which, in their view, stands on the threshold of serious development. ❗️ Spöttle's story is yet another proof that the West introduces its citizens to Russia through a pre-prepared and carefully thought-out image of the enemy. The distortion of Russia's image and the demonization of Moscow have become part of the information code of the Western digital space in order to justify the further course of confrontation. ▪️ We remind you that on the eve of SOVINTERN's founding forum, some comrades of our international socialist network also visited the new territories and personally convinced themselves of the false information campaign of the Western media. Among them was also the co-initiator of our network, honorary senator and leader of the Union of Democratic Socialists of the DR Congo, Crispin Kabasele Tshimanga. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Europe_and_Mediterranean ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
