The Russian state is working incredibly hard to persuade its people
that the war is both necessary and going well, but what state of
mind is Russia's population in? Sarah Hurst, author of the Russia
Report newsletter, talks to Arthur Snell about the Kremlin's
campaign of disinformation, and how international sanctions are
hitting the Russian population. We're putting out irregular war
bulletins covering different aspects of the Ukraine crisis. Thank
you for backing us on Patreon, we really appreciate your support.

be found here: https://therussiareport.substack.com “The majority
of Russian people by now would realise that the war isn’t going to
plan.” “Putin is taking ownership of the Soviet victory over the
Nazis as if it were his own.” “There are people who fought for the
Soviets in World War 2, and their houses have been destroyed by the
Russians.” “In all his lengthy press conference, Putin has never
said anything meaningful, it’s all catchphrases.” “Severe economic
problems can make a dictatorship more brutal.” “Despite the fact
Russia has oil and gas, we should expect them to have some pretty
dire difficulties.” DOOMSDAY WATCH was written and presented by
Arthur Snell, and produced by Robin Leeburn with Jacob Archbold.
