Excellent list! Gotta make sure you know what all sides are saying, from the Orthodox to the Intelligence service goons to the normies. And of course gotta keep an eye on the 5D chess grandmasters at RT and their boss.

Far from complete, and it doesn't need to be, but a very good list, Edward! More than enough to get one started. I'd make there just very few "must have" additions, to complete political spectrum so to speak.

1. Russian Information Agency, RIA.ru - the official Kremlin propaganda site. I used to write in the comments section there, until they made it impossible by taking each one of my posts through approval process and rejecting about half of them. I use this site to take the temperature, so to speak, in the ward.

2. Vzgliad (The Outlook), VZ.ru - unofficial Kremlin (President's Administration Office) propaganda site used by deputy office head, Mr. Kirienko, president's main polittechnologist (term used in Russian-Ukrainian politics) to shape public opinion with more finesse than official propaganda. I used to write there too, since 2013, but last year they finally had enough of me and permanently disabled my account. But, I have to admit, they tolerated me for a very long time.

3. Svpressa.ru (Free Press) - left leaning resources affiliated with the other opposition party in Parliament, SR - Spravedlivaya Rossia (Fair Russia). Think of them as Russian Social Democrats.

4. Finally, what would we do without real liberal, pro-western, pro-Navalny resources? Two of the notable ones are Moskovskiy Komsomolets, mk.ru and Novaya Gazeta, novayagazeta.ru

Who said Russian internal politics were boring? )))

And for those, I assume a vast majority of people who read Edward's wonderful blog for Russia truth seekers that don't speak Russian, the easiest way to go about translation is to download Yandex browser that has a built in translation function in the menu. When it comes to translating from Russian into other languages, especially English, Yandex developed way better algorithms than Google. When you choose to translate page in Yandex browser it is going to retain site layout, but make it in English, all the links from within that site that you'll click on will also be translated almost instantly as you hit a new page.

Happy reading, dear Russia loving friends!

Hey Riley. Not so sure about Maria Shukshina. On her Telegram channel there was a discussion going on that the Vatican is involved with Schwab. My comment on this topic was that Putin, his daughter, Gref and many others are as well. My comment was immediately deleted and I was kicked out by the admin from the thread. Conclusions: Maria seems to be a very tolerant and truth loving activist…
