    Yes I noticed that. Paul Jay also spoke of a far smaller number of deaths from the shelling of Donbass since 2014 than the 14,000 I've seen elesewhere. Towards the end, Jay brings up the issue of Ukraine's proposed membership of NATO being being a justification for the invasion and Kagarlitsky says it was irrelevant, that it was a propaganda justification, that the Russian government did nothing when Estonia which also borders Russia and is a short distance from St. Petersburg, joined Nato. Which is an interesting point.

    Boris K is always a very interesting voice from within Russia who I've been reading on and off for many years. He's convinced Russia will lose this war. I might post links to one or two of the pieces he's published at Russia Dissident.
