Whilst “Fake News” is also known as “Russian Propaganda for Beginners”, “Masha On Russia” is now regarded as the follow-up course, “Russian Propaganda for Advanced Learners”. The Russian journalists in exile, Masha Borzunova and Konstantin Goldenzweig, expose the outrageous lies of Kremlin TV.
Music, art, literature, politics – the full spectrum of culture.
