My Take
Vladimir Solovyov is a figure I find hard to celebrate, and I think that honesty matters. He is the marquee anchor of Russian state television, and the label propagandist sits openly in his profile. His reach is undeniable, hosting his own primetime program since 2012 and collecting a wall of state honors. But the substance of what he broadcasts draws sustained international criticism, and I won't pretend otherwise. I include him not as someone to be praised but as a stark case study in how language can be weaponized to move masses, recorded with all the controversy intact.
