Russia’s Controlling of Public Opinion.

6th March 2022

Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz could have been talking about 2022 Russia when he made this point in 1923 about a rising Japan.
“Policy, to be effective, must be founded on right and justice and must be backed by public opinion, particularly in a democratic country like the United States. In a highly centralized, militaristic government like Japan the public opinion of the masses is relatively unimportant as the government, through its control of the press, can readily mould public opinion.”
Last Vestiges of Russia’s Free Press Fall Under Kremlin Pressure
“Everything that’s not propaganda is being eliminated,” a Nobel Prize winning editor said as Russian authorities moved to control the narrative in the Ukraine war.
