Western journalists have been driven out of Russia. How can a foreign audience get reliable information about Russian society? The Levada Centre is often quoted in media reports. What other sources are there? Is it possible to glean data from Telegram, the way researchers glean data from Facebook, X, etc.?
My question is pretty basic, but, "Does Boris Nadezhdin represent a real opposition position or is he just a puppet? Maybe used to draw out people so they can be identified to russian security?" Thank you for the work that you are doing.
