This was reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation on its Telegram channel."Russian propaganda persistently promotes the thesis about Russia’s supposedly unlimited resources and its ability to fight the war for years, claiming that the number of army casualties is insignificant," the message states.However, as the center notes, Russia's state statistics agency is hiding almost all demographic data, including information on population decline and mortality, due to "huge losses in the war against Ukraine."The center explained that the aggressive war propaganda is aimed at recruiting volunteers, but in reality, the war is causing a rapid population decline in Russia. This is happening due to mass emigration, declining birth rates, and, most importantly, due to "cannon fodder assaults" on the front lines.On July 2, it was reported that Russian officials are widely undergoing "advanced training courses on extremism prevention," while civil servants are being forced to comply with the Ministry of Internal Affairs' decisions on counteracting extremism under the threat of fines.
