Margo said: 'people wondered whether this poster was a one-off or whether it is an official XR statement or position?' - fair question. I've not heard XR people mention Putin before in any context and a search of the website turns up no results so I guess it's this guy's interpretation. That said, as you note the graun is very anti putin and is implicitly excluded by his use of the phrase 'billionaire media owners' and 'politicians & papers funded by the above', though what he makes of the graun's income being made up of 50%+ advertising revenue I've no idea...
They're a very graun-friendly crowd over all is my impression (lots of links getting sent round approvingly), and in its turn the graun has been generous & supportive with the coverage it has given the movement, so it doesn't surprise me that msm propaganda on other issues still has an influence among rebels. Could be a problem going forward... I'm doing my best to educate from the inside
