I don’t know if Russians listen to the radio anymore - or if anyone does. Radio Free Europe and Voice of America used to be able to send their signal into places that the truth had been hidden. Today, the Russians are hearing from their own leaders that they are “defending” Russia against Ukraine. But that’s all they’re hearing. Is there any way to broadcast or send uncorruptable messages to the Russian people? (Maybe this is better in debates, although I think I’m looking for a factual answer.)
Just yesterday, I was listening to a young Russian man being interviewed. He uses a VPN to privately connect to sources outside Russia, and that’s probably a pretty common thing. While Russia does blacklist a lot of IP addresses, they haven’t cut off all internet access. So yes, outside information is available.
