2. On a Covid 19 map on tv I saw, Russia was a big. blank. space.

Like NO REPORTING is coming out of Russia.

5. The only news I have heard is how Putin's "chef" is now suing the US.

This comes after the charges against the Russians named in the Muller report were just dropped by Barr's DOJ and prosecutors. His "chef" was in charge of ruining our election in 2016.

Besides that, crickets. Putin is now president/dictator for life so I expect him to go the Kim route and not let any info out while they attack their own citizens.

6. They're handling it like a technocratic police state according to this,

Elsewhere I've read that they are still developing their own test, so their numbers look lower than the rest of the world. But the president of Georgia has said Russia is "burning with coronavirus", and all of Russia s borders are closed to non-russians.

7. putin like trump is downplaying it

Spreading propaganda instead of the truth , again like trump is doing, and putin has a hold on the truth getting out on this , so is likely giving out false numbers , again like trump is doing.
