RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan shared a song lyric on Thursday comparing Russians to Jews during the Holocaust and saying, “Burn us all in the oven,” according to a translation.
“European, you tell it like it is / Do not be silent: / Russian for you is a new Jew. / Burn us all in the oven,” she wrote, according to a translation.
Европеец, ты как есть скажи,
Не молчи:
Русский для вас – это новый жид.
Сжечь бы нас всех в печи.Новая песня Шнура. Все так и есть, конечно.

In a subsequent effort to gain control of the narrative within its borders, Russia banned Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. The country justified the decision by saying the companies are discriminating against Russian media.
