This is exactly why I don't understand where people are getting the idea Russia is doing a good job of managing this! That looks like a lot of things, but it sure as heck doesn't look like a lockdown, certainly doesn't look like one that is going to be anywhere near as effective as the lockdowns in other jurisdictions. Crowding like that is absurd. Add to that the fact that they share a large border with China and were pretending to have no cases for at least a solid month or so. As the article I linked to stated, they have even given up on the propaganda effort at this point. Even the authorities in Russia whose specialty is self-deception know which way this is headed now!
