"Polite people" in the Crimea through the eyes of Americans
Propaganda (lat. Propaganda - “to be disseminated) is the systematic dissemination of facts, arguments, rumors and other information, often deliberately false, to influence public opinion.
The media war that unfolds against the backdrop of what is happening in Ukraine does not slow down, and each country promotes what is beneficial to it. In Russia, coverage of events takes place on the one hand, and among Western journalists it is customary to describe events in Crimea as a “Russian invasion”. In western Ukraine, many Russian TV channels are blocked, while the Crimean television sets have completely switched to Russian television, according to information on the Internet.
Many have already heard about the "polite people" in the Crimea - military unmarked. Let's look at them from the point of view of some American media, while maintaining accurate comments on photos.
“Less than two weeks ago, after Ukrainian protesters ousted President Viktor Yanukovych, thousands of unmarked soldiers began to appear on the pro-Russian Crimean peninsula. The Russian authorities deny that these people are Russian soldiers who invaded Ukraine, and describe them as “local self-defense forces” dressed in army uniforms. Nevertheless, many facts, including direct interviews with several soldiers, indicate that these are Russian troops. On March 16, a referendum was to be held in Crimea, and these armed people surrounded numerous Ukrainian military facilities, blocking departures and setting up checkpoints on all roads in the region. ”
Note. The referendum in the Crimea will be held 16 March. Local residents will either have to agree with the decision of the authorities to join the autonomy to Russia, or express a desire to remain part of Ukraine.
