Alexandr Mitrofanov: A Russian serial viewer saw the rampage of Islamic terrorists in Prague
In the background is a top view of the Old Town Square. But up close the streets do not resemble the Prague environment.

Even though Coffee – Refreshments is written in chalk on the blackboard and a sign with the name of the street following the Prague model flashes in the shot, the rest is different. The marking of the houses is one that you will not find in the Czech capital. The only brand we see has distinctive Russian traffic graphics.
A three-member group of Russian spies, consisting of a seasoned fighter, a young flute player and a fashionable girl who speaks Arabic, is sitting in a transmission car with the inscription Television. The street is dominated by Islamic fundamentalists.
The spies watch the actions of two groups of Islamists, which they record directly on the street. They argue that they will execute Russian hostages. Borec climbs out, pretends to be drunk by a local, and steals a fundamentalist’s cell phone. In a moment, the Islamists will figure it out and start a frantic shootout in the middle of Prague.
The guy and the fashioned girl with knowledge of Arabic disappear, the flute dies.
Kremlin propaganda
The next episode shows a Russian intelligence meeting, in which one in three participants burns in front of the general that the disgusting Czech press is pouring dirt on their land. Copies of “Czech newspapers” with headlines in Czech show that the KGB has unleashed hell in Prague and that the Russian bear is once again terrorizing Europe.
The other participant defends that their people have been working in Europe for so many years and nothing like this has ever happened. One of the alleged “Czech newspapers” is called Večerní České slovo with the script used during the First Republic, others are called Bohemia.

I didn’t look any further. That’s enough.
What will the average Russian viewer get away with? That Islamic terrorists are at home in Prague, no one has them except our boys and girls from the secret services, who are also at home there. It would not be out of the question to liberate this country, which was liberated by the Soviet Union during the Second World War, once again, if the Czechs do not have it.
That from the point of view of people in the Czech Republic, this is nonsense and a lie? This is irrelevant, because 70 percent of Russians do not have a passport and did not have one abroad. He’ll swallow it. The Czechia is, after all, one of the two hostile states officially declared by the Kremlin. Next to the USA.
The results of a survey conducted by Levada Centr proved a few days ago how effective Kremlin propaganda is. When asked who caused the escalation of tensions on the Ukrainian-Russian border, 3 percent of respondents said that it was the unrecognized republics of Donbas, 4 percent that it was Russia, and 16 percent of respondents blamed Ukraine.
However, the vast majority of respondents do not doubt that the situation, which threatens the Russo-Ukrainian war, is the fault of the USA and other NATO member countries. These answers are 50 percent.
