So, the other blog is Riley Waggaman's "Edward Slavsquat" which I recommend as a first-person perspective on Russia and particularly the Russian government's approach to Covid.

Riley's anti-war, like many Muscovites. (It's illegal in Russia right now to call their Special Military Operation a "war".)

As for the "denazification" thing, I would expect it to be an constant and recurring theme in all Kremlin reporting, regardless of the real motives or priorities of the Russian state, because just about everybody hates Nazis, right? It's very awkward of the US propaganda machine right now to be tacitly supporting Nazis. This is just basic stuff, PR 101.

Real "denazification" is certainly not going to be accomplished by this not-war. Just look at Germany now. Beaucoup neo-Nazis, despite strict laws and a lot of cultural energy expended against them. Disarming the likes of the Azov Battalion in Ukraine, maybe trying them for the crimes they've committed, probably killing a few in combat.... sure, that's all good. Exposing who's been supporting them, though... that's got to be an important part of the information war.
