The Russian information space has undergone transformations after the defeat of the Russians in Liman against the backdrop of partial mobilization. Failures at the front are being actively discussed on Russian television, blaming the military leadership for not sending support in time.. This is stated in the report of the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) for October 2.

Experts noted that now the problems of the front are being actively discussed in the information space of the Russian Federation, and sometimes on censored Russian television they even criticize Vladimir Putin’s decision to “annex four Ukrainian regions before protecting their administrative borders or even the front line,” and doubted Russia’s ability when.

“The Russian information space has deviated significantly from the narratives of the Kremlin and the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) that the situation is generally under control.. The current pressure of criticism and reporting of operational military details by Kremlin propagandists has begun to resemble the discourse of bloggers last week,” the ISW report says..

This, according to experts, is significantly different from the earlier submission, which actually consisted in exaggerating Russia's success in Ukraine..

“The Kremlin’s announcement of partial mobilization opened up the broad Russian public to the consequences of the defeat at Kharkov and then Liman, destroying the Kremlin’s attempts to portray the war as limited and generally successful..

The defeat of Russia near Liman caused even more confusion and negativity in the Russian information space than the withdrawal of Russians from Kyiv, Snake Island or even Kharkov. Liman's influence is probably greater, as the Russians are now afraid of being mobilized to solve problems on the battlefield, ”experts say.

Recall that in its last report, ISW noted that calls for the use of nuclear weapons against Ukraine, which have recently been heard quite often in the Russian information space, are designed to impress the Russians themselves.. The Russian army is not able to survive a nuclear strike.
