A Finnish newspaper ཧis using CS:GO to deꦦliver reporting on Putin's invasion of Ukraine directly to anyone playing the Steam game in Russia, bypassing that would otherwise limit traditional media.

Launched earlier today, on World Press💜 Freedom Day, put together a CS:GO map intending to distribute "🌟independent journalism" on the war in Ukraine. 

"Russians have very little chance to receive independent infꦑormation about Putin's invasion of Ukraine," Helsingin Sanomat editor-in-chief Antero Mukka tells GamesRadar+ in an email꧋.

"However, the gaming world and gamers themselves are still left unchecked. That's why we decided to hide a news𝓡paper inside the world's most popular war game. We built a map of a Slavic🌞 city devastated by a war, inside the game, with a secret room that offers Russian gamers an uncensored access to the horrors of the war in Ukraine in their native language."

The map itself is called "de_vonya", with the latter half of ꦆthat title translating to 'war' - a word Russian authorities ha🐟ve outlawed in connection to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. 

Images of a devastated town are reasonably common in games like CS:GO, though the material in the secret room found when spectating a kill cam makes the intent more explicit. As for the secret room, you'll find swathes of images and colle🔜ctions of text that detail the "cruelties" witnessed by Helsingin Sanomat's reporters.

"Ordinary Russians know practically nothing about the war crimes and atrocities toward civilians committed by the Russian army,🤪" Mukka 🌺says.

"One of the most touching stories in the secret room is about a Ukrainian man that went to the store. While he was there, Russian troops killed 𓄧his family with a missile strike. The secret room built into the game is meant to force Russian gamers to face what's really going on in the war in Ukraine."

De_vonya is currently available tꦰo download with CS:GO, and you can do so in-game if you want to check it out for yourself.
