Peering inside Russia — and it’s complex web of state propaganda — presents a very different view of the war in Ukraine and who the real victims are.
As nations around the world condemn Russia’s invasion, many within Russia are supporting Russian president Vladimir Putin. How is Putin selling the war to the Russian people? Will thousands of anti-war protesters challenging the Kremlin make a difference to the government?
We'll take you inside the alternate reality being created by Russian state propaganda, how fear and new laws have choked off dissenting voices and the difficult conversations between a Ukrainian son and a Russian father in the war over disinformation.
