When I was young, USSR yet existed, so I know about the censorship a little.
Actually, I did not read newspapers that is a main target for a censorship. But I read children's books, stories about young Lenin (I was surprised how many stories exist). It was a bit strange to open a cooking book and, at its very beginning, to see a huge article about the living standards growing fast, about a number of unique nations in USSR...
But, you know, I think that the most things I saw (except for stupid stories about Lenin) was a quite reasonable thing: Oh, yes, we really had many people and cultures in USSR living together in that real harmony. We had some problems, but just look around: some ex-republics of USSR have senseless argues, some nations have felt to ancient feudal realms.
I heard and I still do that Soviet Union and Russia have this censorship. They do instead of some, I guess, modern and democratic countries. And these exact countries often say these words or give moneys for numerous 'democratic mouthpieces' here in Russia.
All right, I denied reading local newspapers about Russia and tried to find any English sources of 'democratic' news about my country. At the moment, I have my little silent question about my investigations: what is going on?!
Just make this little experiment: open the site of The Telegraph, chose to see news about Russia. I sure, the only articles about the most bad stories, facts. Only Putin as some evil king, only disasters, only bribes. As I understand, this nasty job is done by stupid people that can not even develop a new subject.
I live in the huge country full of people. This people are real people: they love, they look, they speak, run, cry, smile. We have some science, sport, travels. We have lots of events.
What is a reason to say always this bullshit in English newspapers? Why? Yes, I understand, that 'democracy' and 'philanthropy' cover real issues of UK, but is not that stupid to be a country of lies and to have some 'ancient alien' as Russia?
I know that we always where opponents (except for WWII, but Churchill hated Russia anyway). I know that an intelligent fight works for the progress. But this kind of fight is so awful...
P.S. One question still exists: which WWW-newspaper is good to read normal news about Russia?
