Why is Russia afraid of actually using its defensive trenches?
The Grayzone has
been criticized for defending authoritarian regimes.[14][1][31][32][50] Nerma
Jelacic, writing in the Index on Censorship, described The Grayzone as "a
Kremlin-connected online outlet that pushes pro-Russian conspiracy theories and
genocide denial."[51] Blumenthal has repeatedly stated that The Grayzone
has not received any funding through Russia or the Kremlin.[52] The Grayzone
had previously claimed Jelacic's employer collaborated with ISIS and Jabhat
al-Nusra affiliates.[51]
