Related: About this forumWhy do many Russians still blame Ukraine for the war? - Break the Fake - TVP WORLD
A street survey in Moscow asked a simple question: Why cant the war be stopped? The answers reveal a perspective that raises difficult questions about how the war is understood inside Russia, where narratives about the war often bear little resemblance to actual events on the ground. Join Jonasz Rewiński in a new episode of Break the Fake to hear how members of the Russian public responded and what their answers might tell us about how they see the conflict started by their leader in the Kremlin.

to a russian peasant living 500 years ago. It's amazing how static a society can stay, regardless of superficial changes like universal literacy and modern technology. No wonder the Ukrainians don't want to go back.
