That's the most stupid ostrich behavior they could adapt. The whole of moscow must have seen/heard/felt it. Not covering it in the news is the perfect way to to make people think something isn't under control.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Russia is much bigger than Moscow though.
Moscow already knows things are not under cotrol, but Russian Federation is much bigger than that
In which Russian village does nobody have relatives or close friends living in Moscow?
Most rural Americans know someone in a city, yet half of them still think those cities are active war zones.
Propaganda can win against anecdotes.
This will open the door for back channel news because people want to know what is going on.
Swan Lake.
I was gonna say this lmfao
Stop looking outside, the ballet is on, Yuri
After decades and decades and DECADES of "de-politicizing" their citizens and hiding the truth, I hope (probably too hopeful) that their citizens might start waking up when they can't look a single cardinal direction without seeing fires burn in their home towns.
Won't happen. Not with that people. Those twelve that have not been successfully brainwashed have emigrated long since.
Nice to see Comical Ali is still getting work these days. There are no American infidels in Baghdad and no Ukrainian drones in Moscow.
This isn't the cold war era when you could have told lies upon lies and no one could contradict that, technology has moved on and even Russians can get informed if they want to about what the fuck is really happening.
Hmmm, I can't tell you what the fuck is happening in my government here in the USA
they fuck up your country
