Article from Julia Davis who does the Russian Media vids I link to on YT. No footage posted yet but will post if/when it is up.
The midterm elections in the United States were a hot topic in Moscow. Convinced that the “red wave” was coming, Russian propagandists rushed to take credit for the anticipated landslide victory that would ensure Republican majority in Congress and Senate.
On Tuesday, Russia’s Tucker Carlson, top propagandist Vladimir Solovyov, greeted his audience by wishing them a “Happy Interference in the U.S. Election Day.” Yevgeny Prigozhin, known as “Putin's chef,” who was indicted as part of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference, likewise decided to publicly fess up to the allegations he previously denied.
This plan to discredit the U.S. elections and convince the Republicans that the mighty Kremlin hand covertly helped push them to victory had backfired. On Wednesday, state TV propagandists were scratching their heads about the wave that turned out to be but a trickle. During the broadcast of 60 Minutes, host Olga Skabeeva asked an expert: “How are our guys in America?” Political scientist Vladimir Kornilov clarified with a chuckle: “Our Republicans.”
Dmitry Abzalov, Director of the Center for Strategic Communications, noted that the outcome was much different than the predictions: “Even the Democrats predicted the red wave that will mow everything down, but it turned out to be quite modest.” Political scientist Vladimir Kornilov said, “The worst fears of the Democrats are now behind them. They easily won the states they were most concerned about.”
Co-host of 60 Minutes Evgeny Popov surmised: “Republican triumph or the tsunami did not materialize... Trump is already calling on Americans to protest ballot stuffing and not allowing his opponents to disrupt the elections.”
Russian state TV coverage focused on baseless allegations of various issues supposedly plaguing U.S. elections, featuring the footage of Kari Lake, candidate for governor of Arizona, and former U.S. President Donald J. Trump, complaining that the polling stations were “running out of paper” and experiencing various mishaps.
Skabeeva exclaimed: “Come out [in the streets], Americans! You are being lied to!” Abzalov pointed out that at least January should be “fun,” predicting that Republicans would attempt to impeach U.S. President Joe Biden. Skabeeva complained: “They will impeach but won’t be able to overthrow him. We’ve seen how it went down with our friend, our comrade Donald—and it happened more than once.”
Skabeeva went on: “We keep worrying about our guys, their results should have been better than this... Apparently, there will be no landslide victory for Republicans in Congress... Still, Donald Trump is planning to celebrate—it isn’t exactly clear what is there to celebrate.”
During the broadcast of a state TV show Who’s Against?, host Dmitry Kulikov noted: “The triumph of the Republicans didn’t happen... After these results, can Trump remain the leader of his party? That is in question... [Ron] DeSantis is rising, Trump will obviously challenge him. The main battles will be taking place within the Republican camp.”
Political editor Maxim Yusin concurred: “Republicans performed much worse than everyone had predicted yesterday... This is because of the Trump factor, this is clearly his fault. He butted into this electoral campaign too overtly and with his odious nature, pushed away those who were on the fence. Against this backdrop, the star of DeSantis is rising. He is only 44 years old. As we see by his surname, he is of a Latino-American descent—and there are more and more of Latino voters. Latinos voted for him in Florida.”
Yusin noted that DeSantis is similar to Trump in his conservative agenda and as a bonus, he does not possess any of Trump’s “weirdness” that “scares people away.” He said that the Democrats secretly want Trump to run for president and speculated that they will pause any legal pursuits to encourage the run of their favored “sparring partner.”
“Things are difficult.”
The guest predicted that if DeSantis is nominated, Republicans will win the presidential elections and get the majority. Kulikov agreed that Trump’s involvement made the battles easier for his opponents: “The Democrats are holding on because of their hysteria about losing democracy to the fascism on the other side. It played a big part. Trump allowed them to lean on that, basing their approach on him as a fascist specimen. The campaign of the Democrats, rooted in saving democracy from this monstrosity, turned out to be very productive.”
In addition to Russia’s mounting disappointments in the electoral battles of the United States, their invasion of Ukraine keeps going from bad to worse. During Tuesday’s broadcast of 60 Minutes, host Olga Skabeeva said, “Things are difficult. Nonetheless, we have to win on our own—it’s official. Republicans can hardly help us to retain the Kherson region or the city of Kherson.” On Wednesday, Russian troops retreated from the area.
Host Vladimir Solovyov started Wednesday’s broadcast of The Evening With Vladimir Solovyov by grimly noting: “We’ve been planning an entirely different program tonight. We were going to talk about American elections, but then we got the news from Kherson.”
Nonetheless, in the minds of the Kremlin’s propagandists, it’s all connected. Solovyov speculated that if the withdrawal was announced just one day earlier, it might have helped Biden and the Democrats: “[The withdrawal] was announced after Nov. 8, on Nov. 9, so it wouldn’t influence the U.S. elections.”

Russian and Ukrainian sources reported continued fighting along the Svatove-Kremmina highway and Bilohorivka, Luhansk Oblast.
Ukrainian forces made territorial gains northeast of Kherson City and continued their successful interdiction campaign.
Russian forces continued offensive operations around Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and in western Donetsk Oblast.
Russian federal subjects are struggling to pay mobilized personnel, and the Russian military is struggling to provision them.
Relatives of mobilized personnel continue to protest lack of payment and poor conditions.
Russian occupation deputy head of Kherson Oblast Kirill Stremousov was killed in a claimed car accident in rear Kherson Oblast the day Russian forces announced their withdrawal from the west bank of Kherson Oblast.
Occupation authorities in rear areas are likely increasing law enforcement crackdowns and filtration measures amid fears of Ukrainian counteroffensives after the November 9 withdrawal announcement

You can stream Russian state TV (VGTRK) live on the internet for free. Russia 1 has the news at their normal news times (not even sure that that is in Moscow time) and Russia 24 is about like CNN/FOX. You can also go to their prerecorded content via the WE LOOK link under INTERNET which has the Solovyov shows and much more. The only problem is no translation but you can bone up on your Russian for when they cross the Atlantic in their row boats and take over, it is so obvious they are comin'.
VGTRK.ru
I have poked around on there and never got a ping from any of my malware/virus/malicious site software. Beyond that and the fact my computer still works and I still hate Russia I can't vouch for them.
Just be aware if you ever happen to go on and all the channels are showing the Swan Lake ballet something big is going down, that's what they did right after the Chornobyl disaster.

UPDATE ON UKRAINE 10 November
INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
On 9 November 2022, Russian Defence Minister Sergey Shoygu ordered the withdrawal of Russian forces from the west bank of the Dnipro river in Kherson, southern Ukraine. General Sergei Surovikin, commander of the Russian forces in Ukraine, confirmed they will withdraw to defensive positions along the Dnipro River, citing re-supply issues as the primary reason for the decision.
Russia's ability to sustain its forces on the west bank of the Dnipro river had been placed under pressure by Ukrainian strikes on Russia's resupply routes. In retreating, Russian forces have destroyed multiple bridges and likely laid mines to slow and delay advancing Ukrainian forces. The loss of Kherson's west bank will likely prevent Russia from achieving its strategic aspiration of a land bridge reaching Odesa.
With limited crossing points, Russian forces will be vulnerable in crossing the Dnipro River. It is likely that the withdrawal will take place over several days with defensive positions and artillery fires covering withdrawing forces.

Zaluzhny: Armed Forces of Ukraine took control of 12 settlements near Kherson on Nov 9
There are the colossal efforts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine behind every Russia’s so-called "gesture of goodwill". Only over the past day, Ukrainian troops took control of 12 settlements near Kherson.
As Zaluzhny noted, at the moment "we can neither confirm nor deny the information about the so-called withdrawal of the Russian occupation troops from Kherson. We continue the offensive operation in accordance with our plan."
He added that "the advance of our troops into the depth of the enemy's defense is up to 36.5 km, the total area of the recaptured territory reaches 1,381 sq km, control over 41 settlements has been restored" in Kherson direction since October 1.
Over the past day, in Petropavlivka-Novoraysk direction, the units of the Defense Forces advanced 7 km, took control of six settlements, restored Ukraine’s control over 107 sq km of territory. "In Pervomayske-Kherson direction, we advanced 7 km, took control of six settlements, the area of freed land is 157 sq km," Zaluzhny noted.

Russia places mines everywhere with the intention of making Kherson a "city of death"
Thursday, 10 November 2022, 12:18
Mykhailo Podoliak, Advisor to the President’s Office of Ukraine, has said that he believes Russia is planning to turn Kherson to ruins by attacking it from the left bank of the Dnipro River.
Source: Podoliak on Twitter
Quote: "The Russian Federation wants to turn Kherson into a ‘city of death’. The Russian military mines everything they can: apartments, sewers. Artillery on the left bank is set to turn the city into ruins. This is what the ‘Russian world’ looks like: they came, robbed, celebrated, killed ‘witnesses’, left ruins and left."

Too soon to tell. If the Ukrainians can push the Russians and turn their organized withdraw into a panicked retreat like they did in Kyiv and the Kherson oblast then they will likely capture what is left in Kherson which my sauce(s) aren’t expecting to be much. If the Russians are able to withdraw in an organized manned then they will blow up or burn their supplies and equipment.

Solovyov openly expresses his personal desire that Russia conquer the world by military force. He wants a brutal, medieval empire.
His delusion of Russia's place at the top of a worldwide empire prevents him from understanding the simple truth that the world will not agree to be conquered militarily by Russia. The world will openly oppose Russia's effort. Russia can not succeed in its quest.

I listened to an intercept where a Russian soldier said they were burning everything before they go.
Also heard from another saying he was part of the cleansing group, which goes from house to house and kills anyone and everyone.
