MODERATORS
Just goes to show that russians have had (until recently) relatively easy access to independent information within a few clicks on their smartphones.
I will also note that many reliable news organizations (BBC, DW) started their russian language YT news programs as far back as 2010. This is also true for well regarded local independent news (TV Dozdh).
