"Videos featuring voice-over weeping and hysterical shouting: 'Ahhh, they are killing civilians' are a virus designed specifically to confuse you. The creators of such fabrications know every single psychological vulnerability perfectly well."

What celebrities say about Tina Kandelaki regarding her stance on the war in Ukraine
We know why you are lying. It is unlikely that after so many years of working on a project with direct ties to Ukraine, you actually believe the Kremlin's nonsense about «demilitarization and denazification.» No, you are simply terrified of losing your sweet, luxurious lifestyle, which depends directly on handouts from the state budget.
You, Tina, hosted television projects here; you were a public darling. But starting today, everyone curses you for your posts, for your words, for your slander, and for your lies. For the fact that you so incompetently, deceitfully, and fascistically exploit your multimillion audience, writing this horrifying, hellish slander against the Ukrainian people. Complete lies! You are only accurate with the word 'fascists', because that is your dictator... My only remaining hope is that you write all this garbage under someone's orders with a gun to your head because your life is threatened. And that gun isn't held by Ukrainian soldiers. Because Ukrainian soldiers would take pity on you, just as they take pity on your soldiers whom they capture...
Tina is a loyal soldier of this monstrous machine. She executes tasks. She is simply the top student in this class. I always ask myself: if you've already landed in this filth, it's easier to hide somewhere in the back rows. Why scramble to be the top student? That is the truly terrible thing! She is among the star pupils. And the fact that at Luzhniki she stood right beside Putin, beside Vladimir Mashkov — who I once thought was an extraordinary actor — and beside Margarita Simonyan and Zakharova, that is, of course, monstrous. She was every bit as big a star in Ukraine as she was in Russia. But where she chose to go — that was a deliberate choice. In my view, it is horrific. Anyone who supports the war is a cannibal. They kill and burn people. She is among them.
Tina certainly had brains. Once. But when Russia made it clear that for her, Tina, it was better to be a brainless whore, she agreed. Tina understands perfectly well what is happening, but she made her choice. She is paid for something else. She perked up her ears and offered her sharp tongue for exploitation. People like her are worse than the brainwashed Rashist biomass somewhere beyond the Urals.
