A quick 🧵 on some #YouTube videos addressing various aspects of #Russia's invasion of #Ukraine that came out today & over the weekend. They're all pretty good, hence why I'm writing about them! First up is the latest #VatnikSoup. In this quick episode, Chef Pekka explains the "Firehose of falsehood" method of Russian #propaganda, wherein propagandists saturate the information space with often contradictory narratives to overwhelm the audience. 1/Nhttps://youtu.be/n94qNB9V5ZA

Next is a #YouTube video from #Russia'n #Vlog'ger Nikki Proshin about how #Putin's decision to invade #Ukraine has forced the government to update the laws & procedures for #military #Conscription & #mobilization twice since the full-scale invasion started, & what the changes might mean for a typical Russian.2/Nhttps://youtu.be/iZd5dA5TDgA

Next up is William Spaniel's #YouTube video which looks at a study of #PushPull phenomenon in surveys of #Putin's popularity in #Russia. The surveys were conducted before the full-scale invasion of #Ukraine, but Spaniel nonetheless provides some interesting speculation about what the data might tell us about Putin's popularity among the Russian population during the #war, touching on #Prigozhin's #Wagner #Insurrection as a point for insight. 3/Nhttps://youtu.be/WrO5-fXTbYs

If you read the #FinancialTimes piece by #Gabuev shared by @fulelo this weekend, then this #YouTube video by #GoodTimesBadTimes is a must-watch. The video explains how #Russia'n bureaucrats manipulate official data to paint a rosy picture of their country's #war #economy, despite the obvious pressures brought on by #Putin's decision to invade #Ukraine. Also discussed are the shortfalls of #Moscow's pivot east toward #China & #India & away from #Markets in #Europe4/Nhttps://youtu.be/2mYfct6XyVs

Last but not least, it's everyone's favorite #PowerPoint wizard #Perun. This week's #YouTube video looks at the #Naval battle between #Russia & #Ukraine for control of the #BlackSea. Hopefully we'll get a word or 2 from @anderspuck about his reaction to the video 😄This video is a bit longer than the others in this thread, but it's about average for a Perun video. End of 🧵https://youtu.be/H8D7ioiW0JA

@DeeGLloyd @anderspuck I also thought this one was especially good. Listened to it yesterday while cutting the grass, so was happy it was extra long. (Loved his dry humor, too!!)
