Where have all the Russia-apologists of DU gone?

Journalist critical of Putin beaten to death. Suspects at large.



There used to be so many people here on DU who pleaded that Russia is not as bad as US-propaganda claims.
People who posted articles and links.
Lively, long-winded, interesting and challenging discussions.
Warnings that the US is not as innocent as it proclaims.
We used to discuss videos of what's happening in Crimea.
We used to discuss the evidence whether russian soldiers are fighting alongside the rebels in Ukraine.
We used to discuss whether the white-helmets in Syria are an independent rebel-group or allies of ISIS.

Where are those people now???

Whatever happened to those DU-members?




Well, I know what happened to one of them. I do remember his DU-username, but I will not post it here.
We had many "interesting" discussions and he was always strongly on the side of Russia. And 1 week after the 2016 election he stopped posting on DU...

Others just slinked away.

Almost all of them who hadn't already been tombstoned left around late spring/early summer 2016, for whatever that's worth.

I finally got sick of it and blocked those wasteful threads. They solve nothing. Just distraction.
