A restaurant owner and family man from Ukraine has his father living in Russia. He says that when he called his father about what was happening his own father did not believe him and got angry and that the call only lasted 5 minutes

 

He says after a few more calls his father is finally starting to come around but that pealing back 20 years of Putin Propaganda is so tough even family members struggle

 

After hearing simmilar stories of other Ukrainians whose families In Russia didnt believe them he started a support website that includes suggestions on how to approach brainwashed family members

Isn't that a bit concerning publicly saying you're educating your dad about the truth while having your full name on the screen. The Russian government can easily track down his dad since they're aware his dad is no longer believing the Russian governments lie.  

 

It's really interesting that Putin is heavily spreading fake news; it really makes me second guess everything that's happened in my own country (USA) regarding "fake news". The tactic clearly works.

I've read so many similar stories, it's crazy how even in this decade propaganda still has massive influence on people, especially older people.

It’s important to question everything

This is the type off mass brainwashing that Trump also tried.

The only way to make it clear to Russians is to kill their loved ones. Before that they'll stay dreaming.

Perhaps but i doubt anything will come of it. Putin is far too busy cracking down as a whole with media, protests etc. I doubt they are going to devote a bunch of time and resources trying to identify 1 particular inconsequential individual in a country of over 140M people
