Russian propagandists are handing out new instructions to journalists due to the high levels of public dissatisfaction:

• speak of the mobilized servicemen with more respect, do not use the term “mobics”;
• it is recommended to call the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) as “militants” or “armed formations”. The acronym “AFU” should not be used at all;
• the military command of Ukraine is to be attributed to “Kyiv’s Western curators”; 
• вибухи та партизанські диверсії просять більше не називати «хлопками»;
• explosions and guerilla sabotage are not to be called “khlopok” (“bangs”) anymore;
• those who left the russian federation after mobilization announcement are to be ridiculed. The manual recommends to call them “runaways” and “wait-outers”. 

The new manuals show that there are problems in russian society and the dissatisfaction is on the rise. The russian leadership, traditionally, tries to use propaganda to manipulate the population instead of solving the problem.
