As you probably know, ISIS posted a video yesterday, showing a 10 – year-old boy executing two Russian men. The video identified the two men as FSB (former KGB) agents.
This is not getting any coverage in Russia because Russians have found themselves in a weird situation. One the one hand, Russia is fighting a war to repel the hated West with its “degenerate values.” On the other, Russia is still lumped with the West when it comes to killing Western hostages. So now Russians are left without a narrative where they could fit two Russian hostages slaughtered by ISIS.
It must also be embarrassing to lose two people to ISIS two seconds after engaging in a collective mocking of the victims of the terror attacks in France.
