I like to keep up with the latest in Russian propaganda on this channel, and in today’s video we’ll take a look at something new – Russian propaganda on TikTok. In fact, not simply just Russian propaganda: we’ll react to propaganda created by the breakaway regions of Ukraine known as Luhansk and Donetsk People’s Republic. We’ll see how truly great the life in ‘the Russian world’ is: from having no internet to celebrating an entire singular pavement being rebuilt. It’s truly one of the propagandas of all time. TikTok has been a breeding ground for Russian Z propaganda for a while, and these videos are truly the most embarrassing yet. Let’s check it out and hope you enjoy! Smash like and sub for more thx xoxo

Damn, Putin really decided to go the “How do you do fellow kids?” route with TikTok.
(Then again, North Korea has similar propaganda channels on TikTok so I’m not surprised.)
The irony of them using a Hummer limo which is the civilian version of the US Military Am general Hummv made by General Motors is absolutely hilarious. It would be like driving a Lada limo around New York city.
If The Nazis had access to Apps like TikTok they would make stuff like this.
I know several people from Donbas (mostly from Luhansk) who have suffered since 2014 at the hands of Russia. Most of them have been able to leave since the occupation (one still remains, alongside his family who refuse to uproot their family business and the only home they’ve ever known), and it’s shocking how repressive the occupation has been on the people there. My one friend who still remains constantly has to unfollow and refollow any of his friends who may have remotely pro-Ukrainain social medias (like mine, for example) in the case of the occasional police checks who can take his phone and look at his phone activity at any time. The mind blowing realization I’ve had about this war is that every single person I’ve met (both online and not) who are pro-Russian don’t actually know a SINGLE person from Donbas. They spew all this “pro-Russian Donbas” rhetoric… yet they have never been there are spoken to anyone from there. It’s absolutely wild how they can just form these opinions from what they see on their screens as opposed to actually speaking to the people who are ACTUALLY FROM DONBAS
Your story about the suffering of people in Donetsk reminds me of my former room mate. His mother was born in Sevastopol and so he had Ukrainian citizenship, but rarely went there. He was always watching Russian TV and talking about how great Putin is and how but Western propaganda etc. In 2015 or ’16 he actually visited his family in Crimea and after he came back he stopped watching Russian TV and never said anything positive about Putin again (at least in my presence) xD

Hi man, I hope you are holding up ok! I have really enjoyed your videos giving us an insight into the Russian propaganda machine, but I can not imagine how hard it must be to see this happen to your home country. I really hope your friends and family are ok! Please let them know there are people all around the world thinking of them!
Take care and keep up the good work!!
Speaking of Donbass Arena in 2012 it hosted Euro 2012 (Poland-Ukraine). England, France and Ukraine in group stage, then Spain-France and Spain-Portugal played there in quarter and half finals. And of course thousands of football fans came to see it landing in Donetsk Airport which suffered heavy fights just 2 years later.
Just 11 years ago, Poland and Ukraine organizing together one of the most important football tournaments in the world with Ukraine playing against England and France in Donbass. That just sounds so surreal…
Yes, definitely you need to make this content a series! You really break down everything from the propaganda to how people not only in Ukraine, but also in Russia are living right now and it really helps. People truly be able to understand and feel extremely empathetic towards all who are suffering right now, even your whole life was uprooted because of this, but I definitely don’t think I am alone in please make this series!
Your English is so good and your understanding of satire in English, I keep thinking I’m being spoofed by a guy in New Jersey that’s trying to fake a Russian accent. Keep up the good work!
I watch you from Russia, you are so damn right… Seeing this Z-shit in the streets is disgusting. Hard to imagine what do people in Donetsk and Luhansk feel.
The Russian obsession with WWII is genuinely very odd. Now, don’t get me wrong, we all should remember the fight against Nazism and fascism and it’s important to commemorate Victory day in some way… but in Russia it’s some sort of unhealthy national psychosis. I lived in Russia for a while, and the sheer amount of things related to and named in honor of WWII never ceased to amazed me.. Like all the businesses and things named “ПОБЕДА” (Victory), the inescapable ribbon of saint George painted or hung just about every 100 meters, and so on. Then you add onto that the fact that so many Russians find this fetishization of WWII completely normal and not in the least bit strange, and it’s just absurd. Roman, you are totally right… it is not normal to have such an intense emotional attachment to and fixation on an 80 year old victory. If anything it’s just sad — a reminder that very little that’s happened since then in Russia is worth being proud of.
I lived in Luhansk before the occupation. It was a common Ukrainian city till 2014 when russia gave weapons to local bandits who still rule there 🙁 The most horrible thing is that all these years their propaganda was even stronger than russia’s, especially in schools. They teach small children that those bandits are heroes. There is a good movie about it – Donbas (2018) by Loznytsia. Lost generation
I remember when my dad’s far relatives from Donetsk region came to us as refugees in 2014. Four families with children in four cars. Their village was destroyed by shelling, they just became homeless and had to move somewhere, so they called my dad and drove to us, crossing the frontline, not knowing if they are going to survive the road, then driving like 400 km through Ukrainian territory to our town. They had to leave behind their old grandparents who refused to leave the village, all of their remaining possessions, their old lives. Ironically, some of them still trusted russian tv at the time and blamed Ukraine. Once a big family, now they are dispersed across Ukraine, EU and Israel.
I started travelling to Ukraine in 2011, my wife is from Donetsk and we lived near Donbass Arena in Donetsk. I love Donetsk, I liked it more than Kiev, then came the EURO Cup (football/soccer) and they upgraded the airport etc. Amazing city then it was bombed to shit in 2014/2015 and just picking up the pieces. Before Russia’s first attack in 2014, Ukrainians that spoke Ukrainian and Ukrainians that mostly spoke Russian, got along just fine. My wife is Ukrainian that mostly speaks Russian and it is sad to see how Donetsk is now, under Russian control, compared to when it was under Ukrainian control.
As a citizen of Vladivostok, the capital of Primorskiy region, I can confirm that the pavement change is something that everyone is extremely glad about, we don’t really have a lot of walkable and newly repaired roads for pedestrians outside of the city centre. So I have to walk with cars breathing in their fumes and being exposed to splashes caused by them as there are plenty of rainy days and cracks in the roads here. 80% of money generated in our region goes straight to the federal budget and we have to live for the remaining part. I’m moving outta this Zombieland soon.
Most people won’t notice, but Roman pronouncing it “Luhansk” rather than “Lugansk” is a small show of respect to Ukraine. The letter “г” is a G in Russian, and an H in Ukrainian (in Cyrillic, it’s Луганск). You’ve got a good head on those shoulders Roman, and a good heart as well. Huge respect from a language nerd in Australia!
I remember watching Transnistrian news in Romanian a while back and being astounded that replacing the asphalt on one of the streets of Tiraspol was something that they dedicated like a whole minute to for news. Truly dystopian…
Five things Russians are very good at:
1) Saying how horrible everything is
2) Finding reasons why it’s not their fault and why they can’t do anything about it
3) Blaming other countries for whatever is wrong in their own.
4) Telling that it doesn’t matter who did the crime
5) Beleiving you can never find the truth
