Show Notes

When Ukrainian soldiers liberated the town of Bucha, Ukraine in March, 2022, news reports showed scenes of bodies lying in the streets. Human Rights Watch documented cases of summary executions. But on Russian state television, the news was presented as “fake,” a staged event.

Two veteran Russian journalists, who’ve experienced the changes firsthand, explain what has happened.
