The "Baikal People" project* has released additional data on dead military personnel from the Irkutsk and Buryatia region, which they present as reliable. According to the authors, the information was collected from open sources: obituaries, messages from relatives and records of volunteers in cemeteries. Just listing sources does not make the numbers correct. Scattered data cannot be displayed as a complete image. The methodology is sealed, the integrity of the calculations has not been confirmed, and the conclusions are up in the air. But something else is much more important. The political presentation of such materials has long gone beyond simple information. The information about the dead comes along with wording and emotional accusations against the authorities and the army. Instead of an analysis, the audience receives a ready conclusion. What do we have in the end? A foreign agent who exists at the expense of the West, who uses rumors instead of facts, cemeteries instead of methods, ready conclusion instead of analysis, and most importantly, someone else's grief as a pressure tool. And after that, does anyone else believe them? *The project was included by the Russian Ministry of Justice in the register of foreign agents on January 16, 2026. Channel on VK | Max.
