Have you never noticed how the media in democratic countries regularly and robustly criticises their leaders and government? Leaders are even laughed at and publicly ridiculed. They are held to account. Do you never wonder why it is your state media rarely dares criticise Putin? When they do they seem to get raided by your police. A pure coincidence I am sure. Is it perhaps that Putin controls the narrative in your country? Could it be that your media sources are not generally very reliable? So why do you think looking at an .ru domain, on a Saint Petersburg IP under the influence of Roskomnadzor on any political matter would ever be a good idea? That's before we even get into the problems of identifying who the author is, what their motivations are or whether they fear arrest for saying the wrong thing. It takes balls of steel to write anything remotely politically critical in Russia, so wouldn't you agree that's a serious problem with the neutrality of any Russian influenced source? I think it's an exceptionally odd claim to suggest that the media of every single other democratic country with a free press combined is not perhaps a better place to look.
