Russien MP Andrei Kartapolov lost his temper as he demanded Putin's television propagandists share the "truth" about the progression of the war with their audience.
MP Andrei Kartapolov spoke to Vladimir Solovyo a pro-Putin pundit about how he and other members of his team needed to stop lying. Kartapolov discussed reading WW2 updates about when Germans invaded Russia pin 1941 and how the news was circulated to the people of Russia. The Russian MP went on to claim that the Russian defence military was giving the same updates when sending out reports about the war in Ukraine.
Kartapolov said: "First we need to stop lying, we've spoken about this more than once. Margarita Simonyan has spoken about it vividly.
"But somehow it's apparently not getting through to individual senior figures. Yesterday and today I've been reading Sovinformburo's (WW2) military updates from 1941.
"From June, July, August and October when the Germans were breaking through towards Moscow and each update said that in certain places we were retreating.
"In other places, we were stubbornly repelling attacks by superior enemy forces, in some places we had abandoned settlements.
"But every update said that comrade X's bridge had achieved something that our glorious pilots had shot down 10 enemy aircraft that we had lost seven planes.
