            Where are your primary sources?

            Does that also mean you don’t understand what they are?

            See this does not work the way you think it does.

              I’m not the one making the claim. I’m saying that I have not seen any official Russian statement to this effect. However, if you have a source for one then please show it.

                You are the one claiming the given sources are incorrect. You are the one making a claim, and you are the one the burden of proof falls on.

                You are really hurting the Russian case here. They do their best to act all tough and intimidating, and here all you come with is crying about not liking the provided sources. You’re making them look even worse then they already do.

                    Yes, and then what? Are you somehow suggesting that only primary sources can be used as sources? I’ve never heard anyine take that position before.

                    Of course, one can challenge sources (of any type) but that does usully require some type of argument for why the source is incorrect, and not just because you don’t like it.
