I get a huge number of DMs on Instagram along these lines: - write about Siberia, we’re burning; - write about Irkutsk Region, everything is on fire here, and the media are silent. I asked our team in Irkutsk to film the fires with a drone. I thought they’d refuse because it was too far to go. But no! Everything is blazing just 50 kilometers (31 miles) from the regional capital. And that says nothing of the smaller towns and villages. Yesterday I spoke about this in detail during my live YouTube broadcast. You can’t exactly call it a "breakthrough in the information blockade," of course, but it’s something, given that our federal TV channels seem interested only in Alsou’s daughter (Alsou is a Russian pop singer). That’s how Russia works under Putin. There is only Moscow and money; everything else is ignored.
