There's a Crack in the Kremlin's Propaganda Wall in a Very Unexpected Place

"Vladimir Solovyev hosts one of the most popular news programs on Russian state television,
Russia 1. He’s also a dyed-in-the-wool, pro-Putin, pro-Russia propagandist. Solovyev is so fanatical he’s been sanctioned by the EU for being an important cog in Putin’s propaganda machine. His villas in Italy have been seized as a result of sanctions — an act that caused Soloviyev to go on an angry rant on his TV show.
 
But in recent days, several guests have appeared on his show questioning the war in Ukraine — a nearly unbelievable development considering how rock-solid Russia 1 has been in celebrating the invasion.
Guests have actually gone as far as asking for Putin to stop the war." PJM
