There is a lot of pro-Putin bias in the Western world. We aim to dispel this 'macho' propaganda and reveal true colors of his regime: murder, intimidation, industrialized kleptocracy and well-funded russian fascism propaganda machines. We were born in Russia, we have lost friends to this murderer... we see how he 'zombifies' most and intimidates and beats down the rest.
