I still enjoy the reduced propaganda, and honest reporting in RT.

Thank you, Scott, great reporting on a great organization. And just yesterday, Rick Sanchez was interviewed on Glenn Diesen's program, telling more about RT and how he got kicked out of journalism in the U.S. during the Biden Incompetency, proving that free press does not exist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvtctPX2sI8

Looks like you got your passport back! You are my favorite (just next to Max Blumenthal) on Judging Freedom.

I’m very impressed ! As a former Iraqi fighter pilot trained in the ussr at Kubinka AFB : seems that Russia is another country altogether from the soviet one : the buildings are the same but the people have matured unrecognisable incredibly! My only regret is that I’m too old to travel around this magical old-young new country. But congratulations to them

Funny how the very wealthy are "oligarchs" in Russia, but in the U.S. they are just wealthy individuals.

Sounds like a wonderful time was had. So happy for you to have been there! I admire your dedication to justice and truth and reaching across the divides we’re living through in these dark times… even when this can (has) put you in harm’s way. This is honourable. So thank you for all you do!

The poof is in the pudding, as they say. All western mainstream media is failing while RT is growing and thriving.

What an inspiring and auspicious event - many thanks for this terrific report. I remember attending a performance at the Bolshoi theater back in 1990 in the Soviet Union's latter days, and can imagine this Gala was absolutely spectacular on every level. What a contrast with the blatant corruption of the "empire of lies" as Putin refers to the West.

Thanks for the exciting news. Sounds like Russia is building steel hard communication lines. Does this mean you saw president Putin's speech?

Thank you Scott Ritter for having been there and telling us in your personable way about it. I am one of that above mentioned “not-so-insignificant group”of readers of RT.

It seems to me, this puts the USA to shame doesn't it? Could you explain two things I'm wondering about? Were the Russian oligarks also there? And how does Russia see Putin the WEF Young Global Leader?

Yes, RT is honest and unbiased Reporting. Banning RT is just a sign that truth creates fear for some people/countries. Thank you, Scott, for not cowering to powers who will never give up on banning truth.
