• Poland has its own version of the “Sasha Meets Russia” propaganda channel. It’s run by a former employee of the country’s diplomatic service
• That channel, “WMatrioszce” (“In the Matryoshka”), doesn’t mention the war, Russian politics and Putin, feeding viewers a reassuring dose of the everyday: Russia as a land of friendly people, an economic oasis, a place worth investing in
• With sanctions and ad suspension in place, a Westerner in Moscow has no realistic way to make a living from YouTube. So where is the money coming from? And how, exactly, is he making Putin’s regime more palatable for the Polish audience?
