The Ukrainian theme became the main one in the propaganda stories of the pro-Kremlin TV channels because of the desire of the Russian authorities to divert the attention of their citizens from domestic problems.
This is on air "The Observer. LIVE "said the Russian politician, public figure and political emigrant Olga Kurnosova.
"When life is not very good, I want to understand, can. They even live worse than we. We, of course, are bad, but they are even worse. A very common place for Russian propaganda, when they talk about Ukraine, that in Ukraine they live very badly, they will freeze, they have no money, they have received a visa, but there is no money abroad to go. Therefore, this visa does not give anything, why they need it at all, it's unclear. That is, it is very important to show that Ukraine lives worse than Russia, "she said..
According to Kurnosova, a distorted picture of the situation in Ukraine is also trying to neutralize dissatisfied Russians.
"On the other hand:" I live so badly, but why do I live so badly? Well, because we are attacked by Europe, America, they want us to impose some values. But Ukraine has already been attacked, and that as a result, it turned out ". When everything is good in the country, the degree of hatred is lowering, "added the politician.
In addition, she noted that the West should send its sanctions against the ruling class.
"The main thing is that sanctions should be directed at the elite, so that they beat the elite. The Putin elite has real estate abroad, children study abroad, accounts are abroad.
If these wallets are clamped, then the elite will think about the price of those foreign policy adventures that the Putin government is making. As for ordinary people, it is more likely to create the ideology of a besieged fortress: we are all strangled, and here we will rally, "summed up Kurnosova.
As reported by the "Observer", an international expert Andrei Buzarov said that the protests in Russia are fully controlled by the authorities, and to expect a social explosion under Vladimir Putin's rule is not worth it.
