Who do you think you are kidding? If doctors or anyone who dares to speak up against the russian government is being threatened or immediately "silenced", who do you think will really investigate? There will be fake investigations and similar "results" to calm down the public, and that will be all. "Cynical about newspapers" alright, i would be at least equally cynical of any governmental "report".

As to the PPE reserves - they are strongly region dependent, some regions have enacted state of emergency and released their stockpiles, some didn't, some have a good procurement program and some don't and so on. I would expect some regional governors to get the stick for incomptence after this.
Maybe. But how can regional governors do something wrong when all they do is being directed and controlled from and by Moscow?
Moscow will of course blame local governors to divert from their own failures, how could Moscow ever be wrong? It is all so laughable.

You do not need to think just because democratic countries make mistakes (they do), that anyone here will see Russia or China as the shining example of how everything is great there and how countries should be run, by "professionals" like Xi Jinping or Erdoghan. Or Putin.
