A News Cold War
³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ plan to get news to Russians
A media crackdown in Russia, including a new law against ‘fake news’, has led many independent news outlets to shut down. Some major western media have pulled out of the country completely. But the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ is not only staying - it is actually increasing its services aimed at Russians. So what news can ordinary Russians access? And what impact is that information is having?
