IAN GARNER: Following the humiliating setbacks caused to Russian forces during Putin's time in office, his allies in the media and the Orthodox Church mounted a round-the-clock campaign. Children who were believed to have been killed by Ukrainian armed forces and rescued by Russian troops were flooded on social media. Calls calling for genocide were issued in a style of macho, misogynistic, and homophobic hatred. 'F***ots,'women,'pussies,'pussies,' "pussies,' or 'blacks,' and 'n****rs' are all Russian opponents. Ukrainians are exposed to torrents of abuse that mimic Nazism's words: they are 'diseased,'monsters', "animals,', and a chilling term that denies them their humanity, nelyudi, or 'unpeople.'

Anastasia Davydova, 39, a five-time gold medalist and the current head of the Russian Olympic Committee [ROC], shocked the Kremlin by marching thousands of people over the border in the aftermath of Putin's mobilisation order. Her decision is seen as related to Putin's Ukrainian enlightment, but she has yet to issue a statement on the matter. In the same way, top Russian judge Konstantin Aranovsky (inset) has left the country's constitutional court after the country's upper crust abandons its tyrant president.

JENNI MURRAY: I didn't mean to be sad for Prince Harry, but I did not expect to find myself cymic for him. Nonetheless, this young man appeared to suffer humiliation after humiliation as the days of remembrance for his beloved grandmother passed by. His face was smouldering, shame, and indignation, and I could only pity a man whose mother's coffin was followed in the full glare of public attention. All seemed hopeful right from the start. He had already been in the country, and I suspect the same is true about his home. He did not hear of his grandmother's death as quickly as the majority of the immediate family. He was still in the air on his way to Balmoral, but he was told as soon as was possible, if not before the announcement was made public. He was with his closest relatives to reveal their immediate grief. His father, now King Charles III, made a moving and heartfelt address to the nation the next day. He expressed his sadness over the Queen's death. Prince William and his wife, Kate, were promoted to Prince and Princess of Wales, and he said, "I also want to show my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives around the world."

Alla Pugacheva, one of Russia's most popular musicians, has said that Vladimir Putin is pointlessly sending young men to die in Ukraine. The statement on Instagram is a major departure from a prominent figure in Russian authorities, who have stifled opposition in recent years. Pugacehva has been dubbed the "Russian Dolly Parton" by British comedian and journalist Viv Groskop, underlining her celebrity and national fame.
