The video I inserted helps me explore my topic more as it talks about the recent Russian-Ukranian war. It talks about how extremely propaganda has increased since the beginning of the conflict in February 2022. First of all it talks about how Russian media does not mention the word “war”, the media only uses words like “conflict” or “special operation”. The media also sensors or blocks the word “war”. If you look up any information about the war you will not be able to find any negatives that are happening in Ukraine right now. Russian citizens are also brainwashed to believe that they are currently doing much better than they are actually are, the Russian media made their citizens believe that Russia is currently winning. Russia has also banned social media like “Facebook” and “Instagram”, because it is “extremists”. Twitter is fully regulated by the Russian authorities and anything alarming that a person might post on it will most likely get them landed in jail, anything that is said will alarm the Russian authorities. Because of this certain video I could alter my thesis to exact methods that Russia uses to blind its citizens from seeing the truth about their government.

They way you clearly explained the issue with Russia is marvelous. I did not find myself having questions or left confused. Also, the video truly ties together all the points you made with your blog post. It fortalizes and adds onto the severity of your issue.
I loved the way you explained what is happening and going on right now. I didnt know everything that you said, now i have more knowledge about your topic.
I had no knowledge of this happening in Russia because it seems as if the USA news cites do not cover these important topics, specifically negative things happening in Russia. The link you posted has a lot of great information that helps me better understand the topic.
Anastasia, this topic is so interesting! I love the way you used an actual news video as your source. Talking about Instagram, Facebook and Twitter is such a good way to involve your readers because most everyone has those kinds of social media. Its also so special because this topic is currently expanding and going on as we speak. So great!
