Never before has an upcoming press conference gotten this kind of advertising. Evil terrorists! Ukrainian murderers! Sinister forces from the US and the EU! … vs. …. Russian military might! Olympic glory! Space launch achievements! Polar bears! And behind all that is good and Russian: Vladimir Putin! Huzzah! Cheers!
Heck, it even makes some of the North Korean fawning over their leader look a bit feeble.
Russian state TV is running action movie-style previews for Putin’s press conference
This is what it would look like if Michael Bay were a Kremlin propagandist.
