New Reality: The Kremlin prepares Russians for multi -year battles for the Kursk region - media

After the attack on the Kursk region began, the Russian elite was shocked by the Armed Forces advance, but over time it was "accustomed" to the fighting. The authorities have ordered the federal media, which should "reassure" the population and convince him that no catastrophe happened. The Kremlin is convinced that the operation of the Armed Forces in the Kursk region will not end quickly and will last for several months. At the same time, the Russians try to convince that it is a "new normality".

People close to the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation and the Government told this in a comment to the Russian media "Medusa". Two sources from the Kremlin and one close to the government's leadership were told to reporters that the Russian "elites" were initially shocked by the border breakthrough and the fact that the fighting began to be transferred from the Ukrainian territory. After 2 weeks, this feeling passed and "they were addictive.

" "At first it was unclear what forces came, what term it was. Now understanding is, it is always easier. To the regional centers far away. But the event itself [the Armed Forces] to the territory of the Russian ", - says insider. Another source from the Presidential Administration referred to the results of a recent poll, which showed that the "predominance of alarming moods" among the Russians has increased by 6% from August 6 and now reaches 45%.

The Kremlin believes that these indicators are extremely high and expresses that they will soon be reduced. Medusa journalists noted that one of the interlocutors thought cynically when he spoke of moods in society, though he said that "if the war had stopped, it would be easier for everyone. " "During the shock, and this was certainly a shock, there are always jumping [sociological indicators], then people get used to and everything is stacked.

What was created during the rebellion of Prigogine, mobilization and at the beginning of the war? . In order for the situation to adjust again as soon as possible, the government intensified propaganda and tells the population that they will have to live in "new reality" and "new normality", the authors of the material continue.

The mediachnologist who cooperates with the Presidential Administration, believes that such revolutions in propaganda are necessary for people to consider events in the Kursk region not a deviation but a "new norm", even if it is temporary. "It should be reassured. It is difficult to exist in the deviation from the norm. Normally, albeit new, it is easier," the Kremlin's logic explained the insider.

The components of the "new reality", according to the Russian authorities, have the appearance: their negative and shock Russians recommend to direct in "positive channel", namely - to help raise money for the Kursk region. Such meetings were opened in some state corporations. In general, the officials who were spoken by journalists are sure that the fighting can last for several months, but this rating "is quite optimistic - if everything goes out.

" We will remind, on August 21 it was reported that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation took away parts from Donbass to protect the Kursk region. The fighters monitor the movement of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the Donbass and really see that some parts are taken to Kursk. However, the main combat units continue to stand on the front line, without weakening the pressure on the position of the Armed Forces, explained the commander from the time ravine.
