Also, in Kremlin state TV someone said the quiet part out loud:

What's a country gonna do when even mobsters are more clean and efficient than the government, turn over the power to local mafiosi?

Poor "genuine" soul telling the truth.
I hope 'muricans now understand this:

(and no, I don't admire Nixon policies but he was right, but being an american he didn't understand how russians don't have the freedom notion of americans, they're not interested in that kind of "constitutional" freedom and surely hyper-liberism of the Eltsin era ruined every possibility to inject that notion)

It's more about routing taxes money than "cleaning problems" :p (and
Gino is not so common in Sicily :D still that heavely romanticized Mafia get some jabs by a more brutal Ndrangheta in the last 20 years )

Of course until the state smashes its hammer on them

There's really no more religion, these west-loving satanists not accepting the will of god through Putin's mind and daring asking for "rights" like some west pawn like Navalny :angel: :sly:
(it's the guy who started the war in Donbas(s) to create Novorossija and Putin put him in prison, just like killed Prigozhin)

Finland is safer in the NATO than it ever was alone. Imagine the Winter War if Finland was supported by Western allies.
I can imagine that, but my imagination has a mind of its own :D
Having gone down that alternate timeline, Finland might be an entirely different country today. Having beaten back the Soviets with the help of Western allies, Finland would pivot from humble rally driving into a humble nation of power hungry maniacs. We probably wouldn't have Linux at all, and perhaps Nokia would still rule the cellphone market, maybe even having taken Apple's place in smartphones. The mobile devices of that timeline would have a spicy melange of different OSs, all of them being violently incompatible with each other. Russia would eventually try to invade Finland for not having developed an open source OS, and we would strike back a bit too hard and take Moscow, thus forming Greater Finland. Some random Finn with a silly but efficient facial hair style, let's call him Yrjö Virtanen, would rise to power and that's how life up here in the cold North would become unbearable.
I'm not saying our current timeline is that great, but at least we're a boring nation instead of a terrifying one.

Which one's the exaggerated, over the top caricature made for a game, and which one's the real deal made for the russian public?

Back when RA3 came out, I found the cutscenes hilariously cartoonish. But now they seem very reasonable, almost temperate, when compared to Kremlin state propaganda :D

Wouldn't be surprised if this attack was planned by Putin to gather people support, again.

1999 Russian apartments bombings, gather Putin support while was still a rising political star.

Too much of (potential) victims for that.
