Or people are seeing what, and more importantly why, Moscow is attempting to expand its sphere of influence. However, I do realize that the dogmatic hacks among us must blame propaganda when the collective moods shifts in directions they dislike... it's an ethical convenience to be overlooked for the greater good of conspiracy...

10. Don't you think this might have somethig to do with...

- Anti-LGBT laws in Russia
- The Russian annexation of Crimea
- The destabilization of eastern Ukraine by pro-Russian separatists.
