Russia’s culture minister is calling for a “patriotic Internet” to combat Western spin and win the “war for the minds” of Russians.
Culture Minister Vladimir Medinsky and Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin were among the signatories to a statement the Russian Military-Historical Society posted to its Web site Tuesday warning of a “new blitzkrieg” against Russia – “and thus against the truth,” as the statement explained. Both officials later promoted it via their Twitter accounts.
