Russian propagandists have faced a serious problem - a new enemy is needed, but there are none.

This is on his page in Facebook wrote Russian sociologist Igor Eidman.

According to him, the main message of internal Kremlin propaganda is Russia in the ring of enemies, the people and power must be united, all of us are equally hated and want to destroy.

"The Kremlin propaganda machine works to create just such a picture of the world in the minds of Russians. Its purpose is further consolidation of the population around the power, positioning itself as the only defender against evil external enemies. But for greater efficiency it is necessary to periodically present to the population some real "haters of Russia," raving about the destruction of Russian Mordor ". And with this problem, "- said Eidman.

He specified that in the West such people can not be found in the day with fire, and the Ukrainian "Bandera" long ago at the public nastily packed.

"Need a freshie. And it would be nice from among the Russians. The hatred of "traitors" is even more painfully perceived by the mass consciousness and more effectively consolidates it around power. Unfortunately, some wonderful, honest bloggers and journalists, without realizing it, quite voluntarily play this role, "said the sociologist.
