Personally, I get all my news from aggregators like HN and Reddit. If my country would do propaganda, I would barely notice it. Because the amount of local news I read is just a small part of my news consumption.
How is the situation for other HN readers? How is it for the people in Russia? Can they access the whole internet? Can the majority read English?
I took a look at my web server stats and it turns out 2% of my visitors are from Russia. 30% of them are from Moscow and 10% from Saint Petersburg. I guess these are people who already have an overview of international news about the current situation? Or would it help to put some infos up?
