Russia the biggest country with a troubled government. Same people from 1990. The same, sometimes exchange chairs. In 2016 they add one USSR musician - Joseph Kobzon. There is some actors and a boxer (who looks like a Yeti). They don't know who should be there
Troubling 2018
Sometimes the world goes down to reality really fast. I am writing here about Russia, but some of those facts true for other countries. In 2014 ruble goes from 30 to 70 rubles per $.
People's real income divided by 2. Putin called it's a win, because "we" now make more money from oil. Yesterday we export oil for 1 dollar went back and made 30 rubles, now we are making 70 rubles from 1$ oil. It's HIS LOGIC. HE is making $$$ from oil and gas.
2018 is another big "win". People really give up hope for president after pension reform (+ 5 yrs for men and +7 for women) and so many bullshit laws. Yarovaya law (doesn't work yet) - anti "terrorism" that make internet provider to store user's phone calls and text messages for 6 months and transport them to government's servers. Crazy, how much does it cost?
Cenzure on the internet. You can't say smt bad to the government. They will find you by # or whatever. About Telegram "ban" that they "failed" to do. Telegram is making system to store users' documents. It will be easy for government to find YOU (servers store all your messages, people think that TELEGRAM is safe and they are don't fear to say smt bad).
Propaganda. Politics now on the internet
Government buys bloggers to talk or make clips about valuable events for them. Before election opposition called people "DON'T GO TO ELECTION, WE NEED TO SHOW 0 INTEREST". WHAT government did? They bought bloggers, anad they made clips taht YOU SHOULD GO TO ELECTION. Go to election and choose your president.
All those advertisment clips((
Main idea of all those clips is to make a choice. You need to make a choice.
Now, we are close to election new Moscow mayor. AND what they did? They bought bloggers to talk about how Moscow changed after Sobyanin leadership. Now they do everything to show that he is active and cool, He does smt for people. Sobyanin changed this and this.
Also they downvote people who say smt bad about russian government. People make careers on talking bad about russia and also those who talks against russian's competitors.
