Two years after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Putin's mirror does not reflect the same and this tells us about the world.
In Moscow, on the side of the dictatorships, Vladimir Putin is getting ready to be reelected for 6 more years in March. With a war that has become a blank check to justify everything, approval ratings close to 80%, and with opponents imprisoned, out of the country or even dead, as happened with Alexei Navalny.
The death of more than 300,000 Russian soldiers seems to have been diluted in the face of the government's control of the media with a narrative that ensures that their country is the victim, and also in the face of Russia's surprising adaptation in the face of Western economic and military sanctions.
