One Russian paper today: “We need to say it straight: Russia & Iran suffered a major defeat in Syria.” Plus, problems with the Superjet (“the wretched child of the Russian aviation industry”) & an attempt to declare Santa Claus a ‘foreign agent’.

I've still got my Matryoska dolls from my trip to Russia, I hope motherhood isn't going to be under threat next. It is both scary and bizarre reading the papers.
Thank you for the readings. It's symptomatic that Russia always sees any situation as a zero sum game, like with the OPEC+ and the Gulf, instead of finding common economic interests. About Tartus they will try to hold on to it with all their forces.
As long as they don't cancel their ridiculious new years show, where every propagandist has this strange fake smile plastered on their faces and they sing absurd songs (featuring Father Frost). I need my yearly laugh 😆
I am struggling to remember any reporting of the Russian (or Soviet) press in this immediate detail, in my lifetime, in an accessible way. I'm in my 70s. Thank you Steve Rosenberg.
