Russia's Election Propaganda is OUT OF CONTROL 🇷🇺

SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:
/ @roman_nfkrz
A new presidential election in Russia is about to take place in March 2024, and Vladimir Putin is running for president again. Recently, the Russian election got more interesting: new candidates like Yekaterina Duntsova and Boris Nadezhdin started appearing, with their main goal being to stop the war in Ukraine. These new election candidates are actually becoming pretty popular, and this is why right now Russian propaganda started working extra hard to promote Putin and smear everyone else. One of their main tactics is paying Russian TikTok influencers to spread Z propaganda. So, how bad is Russia's 2024 election propaganda? Let's talk about it. Smash like and sub for more thx xoxo

[@soundwave2481]

Opposition in Turkey still had way more opportunities governing Turkey than Russian opposition could only dream about. The 3 biggest cities of the country are in the hands of the opposition so there is at least an argument to be made whether you like their management or not. The thing is though the main criticism the opposition gets is fucking up the most important election of the last 20 years by picking the wrong candidate. This was the perfect chance to defeat AKP since unlike Russia the ruling party doesn't get the majority of the votes at every turn. It has been a close race in almost all of the election cycles and again opposition actually can win here.

[@risekelevra3405]

- How much did they pay you to sell out your own country? I can answer that question my guy! I'm from Georgia and I had to defect to United States (New York), now I live here for over 7 years. I used to work for previous government (for Saakashvili) and at the end of my Political career I was a campaign manager for someone who was running for the office in Tbilisi local elections (won't specify for obvious reasons). As you might know political party "Georgian Dream" is just Russia's puppet. While I was working as a campaign manager I had to compete with Russian funded campaign and let me tell you it's nothing crazy. They know exactly what's the bare minimum to pay a person for their vote, or a bare minimum that an influencer would need to spread propaganda. In a lot of cases they wouldn't even pay people, they just promised they would. I know that because we had some informants in "Georgian Dream". What pissed me off the most was when people would vote for pro Russian party just for 2KGs of potatoes. In conclusion they pay them as little as they can, they threaten them or just promise them to pay them and then "forget" to do so when time to sign the paychecks come.

By the way, a lot of the Russians came back, once they were comfortably relocated to here in Georgia, or Serbia, Lithuania, Spain, Cyprus, etc. None of my Ukrainians came back, but I have a fair few new Ukrainian students, so the civilians seem to be, for the most part, doing OK.

[@gunm808]

Its sad that in the USA we consistently have low voter turn out. As an American, I always make it a point to vote, no matter how "bad" the choices are because goddamit, at least I have a choice. Like what is even the point of voting if you live in a country where the outcome is predetermined and if you vote for the "other" candidate you could be flagged to be monitored by the government even further. Voting is a privilege that I will never take for granted.

[@a5cent]

​@@MrReubenTishkoffUnfortunately this is true. In the USA we only have a sheen of democracy, but not more. How many Americans knew there was a Democratic primary, or could even name a candidate who wanted to run against Biden? The Dem party took most of them off the ballot. They decided Biden will be the Democratic nominee. That is not so different from Putin being pre-selected. We still get a choice between two bad candidates, neither ever representing what many would want to vote for, but it's still better than Russia, so let's pat ourselves on the back and pretend that is a bar worth passing.

My great grandfather was killed fighting for Czar Nicholas II and his family. My great grandmother and grandmother had to leave Russia and change their names 2 times each before they felt they were safe from being killed by the Bolsheviks or the Communist Party. As they were in fact hunting all the supporters of the Romanovs down and killing them. Most of them being loosely related family. So if you had 1/10th of that bloodline in you and any one knew it, you could be killed. Whether you supported communism or not. Stalin saw to this. They hated it here. My great grandmother died speaking ill of this place. My grandmother never got used to it. They both died out of time and place. It's why I always wanted to return there for a while and meet the relatives I have there that were able to make it. So few, but they did. I never got to Russia proper but I did get as far as the inner iron curtain before it was taken down. Poland, Belarus, Ukraine. All the border areas and slav cities that were then communist. It was interesting. But it wasn't like going back to St. Petersburg.

Nemzov was a way more bona fide politician, and actually held several government posts during the Yeltsin regime in the 90-s. Navalniy is a выскочка (hard to translate from Russian) - someone who jumped from dirt into politics, while being very incompetent, and being supported by Russian teenagers who do not know s*it about politics. We will not know who killed Nemzov, but I think we realize who is behind this. As for Navalniy, Western intelligence agencies had a cause to kill him, but did not have methods. Putin had the methods, but no cause. So go and figure - did he die from natural causes, or not. We will never know until FSB archives are declassified.

it will be like this.

When America saw this during that time I can say for my experience and a lot of people I know felt for the first time that both of our countries were finally in it together. Finally toss the past in the garbage and be at peace together. Then within a decade it seemed to all changed.
