The war in Ukraine and Russian propaganda
Russian propaganda began to bombard Russians more actively since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine. in the past first months of the full-scale war, Russian propaganda explained the invasion of Ukraine with the terms “demilitarization” and “denazification”. However, the latter did not take root, after the Russians did not understand him.

Armed forces are recommended to be called “militants” and “armed formations”, and it is forbidden to call mobilized people “mobs”.
