"Animal feed": Kremlin propaganda prepares Russians for nuclear war - Nobel laureate

Now it is unknown whether the Russian President Vladimir Putin will dare to click on the nuclear button. Muratov noted that in Russia for a long time state propaganda has been preparing people for the idea that nuclear war is not so bad. "They announce," We have this rocket, this rocket, another rocket. "They talk about targeting the UK and France, about igniting a nuclear tsunami that washed away America. Why do they say it? To be ready here," - Muratov said.

Therefore, as the journalist said, the Russians are infected with propaganda. He compared it with radiation, to which almost everyone is prone. There are now 12 TV channels and thousands of newspapers in the Russian Federation. In addition, it is actively spreading through social networks. If the propaganda suddenly disappears, Muratov says, the young worship of the Russians will perceive it easier. "There are 21,000 administrative and criminal cases against the Russians who are protesting.

The opposition is sitting in a pre -trial detention center. Media is closed. Many activists, civilians and journalists have been recognized by foreign agents," Muratov said. However, he said, the main group of Putin's support is the elderly. They see in the Kremlin head a person who is ready to protect them, brings them a pension on a monthly basis and welcomes the New Year. "These people believe that their real grandchildren should go to fight and die," Muratov said.

The journalist said that political repression against the opponents of the current regime would continue in the Russian Federation. We will remind that on March 29 British analysts stated that the head of the foreign intelligence service of the Russian Federation Sergey Narishkin asked Putin to postpone the invasion of Ukraine, but he refused. The report emphasized that Russian intelligence services have recruited more than 800 Ukrainian officials of different levels in Ukraine.
