Something that popped into my head while reading this. I am curious if the result would be different in a country other than Russia. In particular any country that doesn't have a recent history of heavy handed censorship and oppression. >"No disruption on the roads despite snow," >an underpass would be built in time for Victory Day. These seem eerily like the kind of headlines you would get in an environment where newspapers are forbidden from commenting on negative events. I wonder whether Russia's recent history makes people more averse to this kind of reporting than might be the case elsewhere.
