According to the aggressor-controlled “media”, the main Kremlin “official” resource TASS was headed by Andrei Kondrashov, transferred there from the All-Russian State Television and Radio Company, and replacing the “permanent” since 2012, Sergei Mikhailov.
At the same time, in 2018 Kondrashov was the press secretary of the “electoral headquarters of the presidential candidate” serving the Kremlin, and in 2014-2015 he was filming the criminal propaganda pseudo-documentary film “Crimea. The way home”, dedicated to the attempted annexation of the peninsula.
This “movie”, among other things, became a landmark in the change in Russian propaganda regarding the Crimea, and it was in this pseudo-documentary plot that the aggressor, including personally in the person of the Kremlin dictator, for the first time publicly acknowledged the participation of Russian troops in the occupation of the peninsula.
It is noteworthy that the aggressor’s propaganda went for it, discarding the previous fake about “polite little green men” despite the negative political and legal consequences for the Kremlin, trying to “exalt” Putin as the “supreme commander” as much as possible.
It is obvious that with the new leader “in TASS reports” the number of lies will not decrease, but the frequency of mentioning the word “Putin” will increase even more.
