    Except that does not happen. Russian sources that make Russia look good and Ukraine look bad are accepted while the opposite is never the case.

      Could it be a sampling bias?

      Most communists aren’t going to be too critical of Russia in a discussion with western liberals about Russia’s issues because those liberals only understand those criticisms as “russia bad, therefore imperialism good”. Same with discussing LGBT+ rights in Palestine or Iran without a bunch of context.
