yeah, that seems like that. but, as we say, one day empty refrigerator should beat TV

In my opinion, people believe in propaganda because they want to believe in it - it's more convenient for them. They could look for independent information, but they don't want to do that. In Russia, people want to believe that Russia is great, but the whole evil world is against it. If they wanted to think more critically, they would have to accept reality as it is. Not everyone wants that. That is why Putin is a credible meaning emanation of the majority of society – he tells people what they expect from him.

well, c access to the Internet doens't mean you'll read news exclusevely there. but if you read, they made propaganda in Internet as well

Few days after Oslo they have the WCh. Two 50km in a week seems a bit extreme

The first edition of the Kho Kho World Cup will be held in India in 2025 and will feature 16 men's and women's teams from 24 countries and six continents

Until recently I thought that propaganda on TV no longer plays such a role as it did in the times of the USSR due to start of the Internet but as you can see it still works

oh, propaganda would make numerous explainations, that's what their job is

Well in that case they already missed a semi  

But even Oslo? The Oslo 50k was basically the number one big event on the annual calendar..   As for Falun: I wonder if it will make the field smaller or just 'weaker'. Important for the Olympic qualification..

It would be funny if "one team" advanced to the final :P I wonder how they would explain the miss of broadcast?
