What is your opinion about Andrei Kolesnikov from Kommersant.ru? Are there other journalists who fly under the censorship
radar by using just enough sarcasm to appear slightly critical of Putin, but not enough to accidentally fall out a window?

Not only Russian journalists can’t criticize Putin in their reports, but they can lose their jobs for simply reporting on something that puts Putin “in a negative light”. And no amount of accomplishments will save the unfortunate serf who deviated from the prescribed path.
The head of Russia’s oldest news agency TASS Sergei Mikhailov lost his cushy job for the coverage of Wagner’s coup on June 23-24, 2023.
No amount of personal accomplishments could save the chief of TASS. On the photo: Russia’s foreign minister Sergei Lavrov with Sergei Mikhailov, getting an award.
Apparently, Putin’s administration was furious that TASS’ coverage of the coup was too detailed and “exposed the Russian authorities in an unfavorable light.”
Mikhailov was made to resign in early July. He was heading TASS since 2012.
“TASS covered all this in too much detail and quickly. Something crazy happened to them. They forgot that their main task is not to convey news, but to create an ideologically correct narrative for the Kremlin,” said the anonymous source from the presidential administration to the Moscow Times.
At the same time, the news agency was one of the first to publish photos from Rostov during the coup.
The images confirmed that Wagner mercenaries had captured the headquarters of the Southern Military District and controlled the city center.
According to the Moscow Times, the “last straw” that prompted Mikhailov’s dismissal was the fact that he personally left Moscow during the coup.

Andrey Kondrashov, Deputy Director of Russia’s state TV, was appointed to lead TASS into the correct ideological direction.
“No one needs TASS’s neutrality now. It's wartime and the presidential elections are near. The chief [Putin] must win officially. Under the new CEO, TASS will be more aggressive and provocative,” added the Russian government official who spoke to the Moscow Times.
Meanwhile, in the parliament of the Altai Territory in Siberia, the lawmakers proposed to send messengers to villages without internet coverage, to read the news to villagers out loud.
Propaganda struggles to reach every citizen, so it’s time to send propagandists to villages!
Russian citizens can live without internet. But they are not allowed to live without propaganda.
