Kremlin is Speechless: Z-Propaganda Got Caught in a Lie. Russians Finally Question the Invasion - The Russian Dude



After three and a half years of Putin’s “special military operation,” the Russian propaganda machine is finally starting to collapse under the weight of its own lies. The same old slogans about “protecting Russian people” are falling flat, as more families across Russia are directly touched by the war — by coffins, by silence, by loss. People are beginning to question everything: the invasion, the leadership, the cost. And that’s exactly what the Kremlin fears most. The propaganda that once kept millions obedient is breaking down from within, exposing the true horror behind the patriotic façade.

In this episode, we break down how Russia’s propaganda system is finally cracking. From Lavrov’s recycled speeches and the ghost cities of Donbas to the absurd theater of “liberation” that left nothing but ruins — the illusion is gone. We explore how towns like Mar’inka turned into lifeless moonscapes, how journalists like Steshin accidentally reveal the regime’s decay, and how even loyal propagandists are now becoming the messengers of collapse.

The video dives into the empire devouring itself — Putin’s Russia destroying Russian-speaking cities to “protect” them, turning Donetsk and Luhansk into graveyards and calling it patriotism. The same state media that once preached “victory” now quietly admits that nothing is left to rebuild. Every lie demands another, every promise becomes another debt to the truth. And as the front lines stagnate, the economy bleeds, and more soldiers vanish into the mud, the people who once believed start asking: what was it all for?
