Russian Non-Systemic Opposition as an Enemy in pro-Kremlin Media

This article tries to shed light on strategies and methods used by pro-Kremlin media to depreciate non-systemic opposition. One of the huge problem for Russian non-systemic opposition is a lack of pluralism in Russian official media and thus its inability to present point of view which are opposed to the government one.
