## Caption

Moscow is hosting a big summer festival — part of the Russian government’s multibillion-dollar efforts to turn the capital into a giant carnival and distract citizens from the grinding war in Ukraine. Our reporter explores the scene and what it says about Russian public opinion more than three and a half years into the war.
