“Zelensky is cooler than Putin”, “Pathetic announcer and paranoid”, “Putin must go” – materials criticizing the President of Russia appeared on the Lenta.ru website

On the Russian site "Lenta.ru" appeared more than ten materials criticizing the Russian authorities and President Vladimir Putin.

What is known

Several news items have been published on the site with headlines “Putin unleashed one of the bloody wars of the 21st century”, “Zelensky is cooler than Putin”, “Vladimir Putin has turned into a pitiful dictator and paranoid”, “The Russian elite is sick with nepotism and sycophancy” along with the article “War makes it easier to cover up failures in the economy. Putin must go. He unleashed a senseless war and is leading Russia into the abyss.”

It is noteworthy that each material begins with a disclaimer stating that the text is not agreed with the management, and the publication will receive a “star” for publication. Of course, all materials were promptly removed, but web archive remembers everything.

"Mediazona" writes that the employees of "Lenta.ru" replaced the text in the already published news.
