The rest of the world sees that, the people of Russia do not.

For all that are unaware, I will enlighten you.

Russian soldiers killed in occupied eastern Ukraine were sent home in a semitrailer truck called Cargo 200. Funerals are held in the dead of night. Families are allowed to attend, but they are forced to sign a NDA. Big problems if they violate the NDA. The family is informed that their son died in a "training accident". They are paid a death stipend.

The bodies of Russian soldiers killed in Chechnya and Afghanistan were stored in refrigerated buildings. Once a month, what is a mobile crematoriuum would stop by and cremate all of the bodies. Sometimes the governmnet let the family know their son was KIA in Chechnya (but the body was not recoverable), but most often they were simply told their soldier son was MIA (and never to be found). The Russian investigative journalist Anna Politkovskaya based herself in Chechnya. She sent her stories from Chechnya home to be published in Novaya Gazeta (The New Gazette). Her articles were called "Dispatches from Chechnya" and in them she told Russian audiences what was really happening in Chechnya and the fate of dead Russian soldiers. She was poisoned by Putin once, but survived. In October 2006, she was shot to death in her Moscow apartment building elevator.

The only difference: If you violate this NDA, you won't get sued or called names on Twitter. Instead, you'll have "an accident".
