07.02.2025 ⇢ The Day Dzerzhinsk Fell While Agents Slept
⌨Russian state media morning coverage focused on FSB claims of detaining four female agents allegedly planning attacks on military officers, while simultaneously reporting on Trump's potential Ukraine peace plan leaks.

The afternoon brought coordinated announcements of Dzerzhinsk/Toretsk capture in DPR, with state media claiming 26,000 Ukrainian casualties over five months of fighting. This narrative dominated coverage through evening, pushing other stories aside.
The day concluded with sudden leadership changes - Novgorod Governor Nikitin's resignation and immediate appointment as Deputy Transport Minister - while diplomatic tensions rose over France's visa denials to Russian journalists and Azerbaijan's closure of the Russian House in Baku.
