I`d like to know who runs Putin`s propaganda services? Is it him with the reins close to his chest or is it a group of confederates? The way the media portrays him for past few years is like a relative and not on his wife`s side of the family.I`m curious as hell as to how long the Ukraine invasion was in the works, was it before 2014 ? Do any US intelligence organizations keep track of the who`s who of his media empire?  In the USA we can sort of figure out who runs our media but maybe not 100% of the time.
