Moscow – The opinion section of the state-run Russian agency Ria Novosti is worth a look occasionally – especially if you want to know which messages the owner wants to have spread. For example, three days following the start of the Ukraine war, an opinion article went online that reported that Ukraine had “returned to Russia.” Then the article was quickly deleted. As it turned out, he had been programmed in anticipation of a quick victory over Kiev – and then forgotten. Today it can still be accessed via archive pagesalso, via partner media, in English. At the time, the intention was clear: Russia’s government used the state-owned platform to spread its own view of things via the detour of an intellectual opinion. Therefore worry a Ria opinion text by the former President of the Russian Council for Foreign Affairs and Defense, Sergei Karaganov, at the weekend now caused some astonishment. The title: “There is no other choice: Russia will have to launch a nuclear attack on Europe”.
