Russian independent media has had a rough decade in Moscow, with many forced to leave for Baltic nations or other jurisdictions to be able to report freely.

The Kremlin long has put out a narrative that most of this ‘independent media’ was on the payroll of the American intelligence services.

Now that the Kremlin narrative has turned out to be true, there is shock, surprise, and even anger being expressed by Russian independent media personalities.

Yulia Latynina was one of the main stars of liberal journalism, a permanent host of Ekho Moskvy and one of the most caustic critics of the Russian government. Much has changed in the last three years, writes a journalist interviewing her recently on this subject.

What prompted Yulia, who is still listed as a foreign agent in Russia, to reconsider her attitude to the war, Ukrainian activists and liberal journalists? What does she now think about the empire and the new world order that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are writing? What conclusions did she draw from the USAID story and what is her response to dissatisfied subscribers?

“My ideas about what was happening began to change when I read a very laudatory book by Franklin Foer about Biden. And then I read a recently published book by Bob Woodward. “

“Suddenly they tell us that 90% of Ukrainian media were supported by USAID”

Alexey- “How do you feel about the negotiations  that are currently taking place in Riyadh in the format about Ukraine without Ukraine?”

Julia : “Well, this is exactly what Putin wanted from the very beginning and we were told that this was impossible. At the beginning of the war he said,  I want to talk to the Americans.  And Biden: “What  should we say? Putin has claims against Ukraine, so he should find out his  claims by himself.” Ukraine replied: “We will not talk to Russia”. And you see, I have a double feeling. Because now I’m thinking that it was possible….. that is, if Biden had talked to Putin before the war, there might not have been a war!”

A detailed conversation is already on the channel.

*Roskomnadzor insists that the special operation in Ukraine is not is an “attack, invasion or declaration of war”, the Ministry of Justice has recognized Yulia Latynina and Maxim Katz as foreign agents, the FBK has been recognized as an extremist organization and banned in Russia, the LGBT movement has been recognized as extremist and banned in Russia, writes the interviewer on his Youtube Channel.

The viewer comments from the interview below are interesting. Much is changing in Moscow in political thought.

“And Pivovarov always told us that everyone understood everything… it turns out no one understood anything.”

“The problem is not that she changes her mind (that’s normal). But for Yulia, one fanatical conviction that she was right simply gave way to another. And now she preaches new truths with the same aplomb and claim to know-it-all. Exactly the same complete lack of a critical look at your opinion. Although I have already become convinced in practice that her opinion can be completely erroneous and biased.”

“Everything they lied to us about turned out to be true! ))”

“Brewers, congratulations! Latynina is a great woman! She is a virologist, an immunologist, a writer, a military theorist, a theologian, and an economist. Literally five minutes are enough to put world experts in any field of knowledge and ignorance to shame! And yes, she is also a great oceanographer. She also has thoughts on this matter. It’s good that she doesn’t have enough imagination to do mathematics, otherwise I would start worrying about my future.”

“Opinions change when funding runs out.”
