For those with high IQ it's not hard, but for most others it is, that's why those who work with their hands r ruled, but those who work with their heads rule.
Navalny & his FBK proved that their heads r better than Putin's & his buddies, as it's only a matter of time before they loose power over the people they rule & mistreat with their authoritarianism & emergeng totalitarism.
The United States and the European Union have responded to the attempted assassination of Alexei Navalny by imposing sanctions. Seven officials and 14 organizations with the wording "for the production of biological and chemical weapons" fell under the sanctions. The list includes the director of the Russian Guard Viktor Zolotov, the Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov, the director of the Federal Penitentiary Service Alexander Kalashnikov, the chairman of the Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin, the first deputy head of the Presidential Administration Sergei Kiriyenko and others. Those who have come under the sanctions will face visa restrictions and their assets in the West will be frozen. Also, the United States stops providing Russia with any assistance, with the exception of urgent humanitarian aid. Government organizations are prohibited from lending to Russian companies. In addition, Russia is included in the list of countries to which the export of defense technologies is prohibited, with some exceptions in space.  More at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgivgm03PT0

The dogs bark and the caravan keeps moving.

The more the west imposes sanctions on Russia the more Russia has to look to China and the rest of the world for trade and future development and growth... it is a shame the west is so weak with its sanctions... Russia doesn't need western defence technology exports... and is much better off without them.

Why you shouldn't watch Russian TV

Companions of Alexei Navalny announced the preparation of new protest actions demanding the release of the politician, they are planned to be held in the spring. This is stated in the mailing list of Navalny's headquarters. The specific dates and format of the protest actions have not been specified. “Right now, all the headquarters are actively preparing for new mass actions, which we will talk about very soon. Our next blow to Putin must be even stronger than the past. We must bring even more people to the streets - all those who do not agree to endure lawlessness and repression, ”the letter says.

Visiting Ekaterina Kotrikadze is a political scientist, psychologist, president of the Union of Right Forces movement Leonid Gozman. We discussed the figure of the future head of the CIA, William Burns, and his attitude towards Russia and personally towards its president. The guest spoke about the reasons why Burns does not feel sympathy for Putin and does not trust him, and why he sets himself the task of restraining Russia. Gozman also told why, in his opinion, the head of the CIA would prefer military confrontation and personal sanctions against Russia, as well as moral support of the Russian opposition, than espionage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzOvAJ8iz1g

Why Putin started the fight against the Internet

Yulia Taratuta's guest is the economist, professor of economics at the Paris School of Political Science Sergei Guriev. He talked about the exact moment at which the decision was made to poison politician Alexei Navalny, explained the logic of the government, which claims to restrict Russians' access to the Internet (and also told why this would not work). In addition, they talked about the real effect of the US sanctions imposed due to the arrest of Navalny - Guriev explained why this step is really important and said that one should not underestimate the West, which will not stop there.

A large-scale campaign has begun on recruiting services HeadHanter, Avito and Superjob to attract those wishing to work in law enforcement agencies throughout Russia after the January protests. Reuters drew attention to this. Compared to the same period last year, the number of such ads has increased 10 times. Among the advertisements, even a sniper vacancy was published, in the description of which it was stated that work experience was not required. Mikhail Shevelev understood the reasons for the unfolding campaign.

Excellent news!

Russia has started permanently kicking out foreigners who participate in Navalny's illegal street blocking theater.   Because
their fuhrer can't be bothered to follow demonstration permits and needs video cheese for this NATzO patrons.  

In the video we have the sad, sad story of some Kirghiz national who has been living in Russia for 10 years, who has
a business and who is married to a Russian national.   He was kicked out and banned from returning for 40 years.   The
reason given was that he willfully broke the law.   You see, breaking the law has consequences no matter how much
of a moron you are and think that God is on your side.

One of the clowns who got kicked is from Belorus and he did not leave Russia to return to his homeland, he went to
Poland instead.   Says it all.  

The video shows one of these poor little protestors in a detention cell foaming at the mouth shouting obscenities including
"slava Ukraini, God bless America and Rashka govno ([derogatory]Russia is shit)".    Even if this maggot is a Russian national,
he should be kicked out to either Ukraine or the USA and its minion states.   Russia needs to change its laws and allow
deportation of citizens who essentially renounce their citizenship through their treason.   These losers need to learn the
facts of life.   Coddled trash that they are.

Send him to Ukraine border and kick him out. He will then cry how shit it is in Ukraine later like most of them do.

Outside of Russia, there are 30 million Russian speakers. They are under the scrutiny of the Kremlin, special services and state propaganda. What are the political views of the Russian diaspora? What is the meaning of the concept of the "Russian world" - and is it the Kremlin's foreign policy detachment?

The Internet, which contains more than horrible pedophiles and pornography, as the Russian president thinks, has kept many of the promises, plans and goals that Putin and United Russia have solemnly proclaimed over the past twenty years. Let's talk today about these promises and what happened to them.
I promise to promise - V. V. Putin In the meantime, there is no need to worry about it.

One of the participants in the rally in support of Navalny in St. Petersburg managed to win the case in court - because he got into the camera lens of the Real Time film crew. Vadim Zabolotskikh was detained on January 31 at Pionerskaya Square in St. Petersburg: he stood with a placard in support of Navalny, but before the siloviki appeared, he managed to shout out only a few slogans and say a couple of phrases to the correspondent of Present Time. After the arrest, which was also shown live, the man was sent to the paddy wagon.

Instructed to spy on Navalny, Volkov and Singers

Indeed the Russian liberal opposition is bad , but there is worse things than that , like governments
that don't know how to deal with them, and allow them to freely protest with impunity and with no real consequences behind foreign NATO agents like Navalny .  Those who protested in washington DC ,got
15+ years in jail. and you bet people will be scared to even repeat anything like that.  If Russia allows
them to return to their homes half an hour after arrest , they will learn that there is nothing to worry ,the government is weak , and soft and the consequences they can handle it. If they are foreigners ,they will know the worse could happen is they return to their countries , that sent them to russia to create problems. So this encourage for paid foreigners ,to cause troubles in russia ,to do the same ,
the consequences are not a big deal . the western embassies can recruit millions more , because they will be told , if they caught in the protest , worse will happen is they returned to their country and nothing will happen to them.  


Another issue is the lack of influence of the government in their young population. Putin is old , and outdated president in every way ,in a literal way very outdated president and he don't understand the young people ,what they want . What influence them. And the young generations that Russia fails to influence ,will end being influenced by foreign nations ,superior and more modern culture and if they are paid money for expressing their real displeasure with their government even better.

Someone i had a discussion years ago , told me one of the most remarkable truths about Russia.
That the Russian culture ends at Russian borders. and i fully agree with that. and the american culture covers the entire planet.  This means that the influence of Russian culture is very weak ,in comparison with the american one.  So how is this happening ? that americans are more smarter than russians? , their ethnic group is superior than the russian one? their shit in the toilet doesn't smell bad ? and the russian shit is the only one that smell bad ?  no.  

the real issue is Russia is an outdated nation. outdated nation = a nation that live in the past.

And Russia is indeed very much a nation that live in the past glories and their entire television is all around the past glories of russia , whenever russia build an entertainment theme park is either based on soviet past with soviet tanks on display or theme parks ,that very much looks like american disney ,and full of american modern culture business.  

United States strongest influences in the world comes from its future looking economy , future looking business , and those future looking business is what shapes the american culture. American business are future looking business and the american culture is one that is constantly evolving and never looking to the past ,but to the future instead. this is why the american culture is  global ,while the russian culture is only a local one , that not even former soviet states follows.

Many in this forum will not believe this , but the lack of freedom of expression in Russia , which is promoted by the outdated religion of Russia , is what holds back the creativity of Russians ,and makes them to be outdated russia when it comes to their music and entertainment.  you saw that in sochi olympics ,soviets singing choir ,(the most retarded thing i have seen ) that were hired , to sing in sochi american songs (outdated songs) from the 70's..       and for me it was clear the stunt was only to "proof" the west that Russia was "open" and "modern" but is not , it confirmed how backwards looking ( that looks to the past) is the russian culture. the entire sochi olympics was all focused on things for the soviet era and so little (next to nothing) about russia present or future.  

Instead of a president that is constantly promoting the Old soviet or romanov past glorys , Russia needs a modern ,forward looking president , that looks to the future ,not to the past and promotes the reinvention of Russia in a new and unique way. and drop already all this population control religions , a real reinvention of russia ,that do not abandon their family and christian to be fair values .both can exist at same time.  That to build a new United States but done right , not to divide society , and depopulate their country , but one that unite society behind their government and earn the trust of their society.

if you look at putin , he is contantly using media ,to tell the west , bragging about their unique hypersonic weapons.. he is all the time bragging about russian weapons.. but what is going on ,
here is a clear understanding that Russia is not being noticed by the world , not respected nation ,
and being called outdated country (which is what is) , and so putin attemting to convince the world
(with hypersonic missiles) that russia is not outdated.

A true modern nation , is one that is constantly evolving and that leads in the world into the future looking business ,for society benefit. and none of those putin's weapons will benefit society in any way ,in the world that their countries are at peace. none of those gas discounts will influence europe
away of US leading modern business economy. The invention of computers , the invention of internet , their domination in entertainment , the western domination in electronics and software that makes life easier and more fun for society all this things do matters for young generations and adults too.
Putin offers gas discounts. America offers the world super cool modern electronics and applications  ,that have become an extremely important for everyone daily lives for business and entertainment.

It is this outdated look of Russia future , a nation that is not progressing ,beyond pretty parks ,
and gas stations, that increase the repression of society ,by blocking their freedoms , what encourage society ,specially young generations ,to oppose Putin's extremely outdated government. And all this outdated business and competitiveness of Russia vs US modern business , is what creates poor investment opportunities in the country . and what damage the economy.  Russia hostile liberal opposition versus the government ,this is the end result of the poor perception (a correct one) they have over their outdated government ,with poor opportunities for them. Russia face a leadership  crisis , is lead by managers , that lack of the skills necessary to create a major movement in the nation ,to unite the population behind their government .and liberals can't be blamed for this , is the government ,failure to influence them , failure to lead their society ,the reason for this.

You need a different kind of government , to stop all this 5th column hostile liberals in the nation that can be easily influenced by NATO embassies ,and they exist because the government is mediocre , in attending their needs . I watch all the time their blogs and their complains most of them are legitimate . That putin cares more their oil and his and rich friends and their roads and schools and hospitals and neighborhoods are falling in pieces and no much job opportunities for them. Majorities of the liberals complains are fair and valid and the west only take advantage of all this weakness
that putin's government have. that do not develop their country in a more innovative way ,that truly answer the needs of all their society ,specially younger generations.

Even Russian media reports almost every week / month of how American modern business influence
the russian citizens.  While the same can't be say about how russian business influence americans.it never happens.

This is why the west do the things they do ,and wants to break russia . The Americans elites know their business and culture are infinite far more influential in the world than Russia and their future looking business (their entertainment industry) is loved by russians too and the entire world.  Why the west is better? if you ask the liberals ,they will point you the superior western business  for all society that exist there.

https://www.rt.com/russia/517754-cosplayers-siberia-mandalorian-starship/

This is why the west don't need to start a nuclear war with Russia and never will do it , they can do a lot of damage to russia from the inside ,with their own population ,by influencing them with western superior business ,and convincing them of abandoning russia and move to the west , their young generations and they are doing pretty well in reducing the population as it is happening , russia population is leaving the nation in the millions every couple or so years.

American media will have a big party over news like this , have putin's outdated Russia is losing the
influence over their own citizens to the western business. This is why nobody takes seriously russia ,why russia interest not respected in the world. Why Russia seen as an outdated nation , and don't influence europe away of NATO ,because is not an alternative to american superior business. that's why. Americans tells europe , you have to choose , is either Russia business or US business and they naturally pick american business any day over russian ones , whenever is in their interest. which is vast majority of times. Only way Russia influence europe (not their society) but their government is with energy supply ,that europe is heavily dependent on it and americans can't compete here in price ,for geographical reasons , that US need to transport their energy from very far distances and is more expensive .

If Nahalny was so genuine he could have sent a film crew to the site for a paltry sum instead of spending millions on a studio fake.

the above only proves that these Putin's propaganda points (refuted by the FBK, see clips I posted) r taken as a Gospel & lot more appealing to some than alternative sources & critical thinking-if they r even capable of it.
Who lured Navalny to Russia?

Is the rise in prices the # 1 problem? The worries of people in the Russian Federation a year after the announcement of the plan for Putin's eternal rule are discussed by Vladimir Ryzhkov and Denis Volkov.

"Indeed the Russian liberal opposition is bad , but there is worse things than that , like governments

Very true. In America (unless you are BLM or Antifa and the local prosecutor is financed by Soros), getting arrested means a plea deal and a record for life. Good luck getting a job, a loan, or anything else. Real consequences. In Russia, you can slug a cop and walk away with a small fine. It is a joke.

In terms of America's prestige in the world, it is really no mystery - the marriage of affluence (a product of beneficial geography married with the Protestant work ethic) and Hollywood. Hollywood (founded by Russian Jews) is the greatest soft power weapon ever created.

In terms of social protests, I am reminded of the book The Crowd written in 1895 by Gustave Le Bon. He wrote:

"The great upheavals which precede changes in civilizations seem at first sight determined by political transformations , foreign invasions, or the overthrow of dynasties. The real cause is the profound modifications of the ideas of peoples. The events of history are only the visible effects of the invisible changes of human thought."

There is no harm in Russia adopting some U.S traits related to business and their overall mentality.

But do you realize despite all that you highlighted most Americans live from pay check to pay check?

This is what Chichvarkin said recently:

He also compared the vast Russian majority to schizophrenics, alcoholics and junkies high on narcotics.

Thus they must be deprived of the right to vote.    Chichvarkin supports the apartheid policy of Estonia where Russians
were declared non-citizens and were deprived of human rights (so much for EU's self-declared "moral authority").

The video commentator, Ostashko, notes that if this maggot had made similar statements about any recognized group
in the west (minorities, etc.) he would have been cancelled with a full ban on social media and mobs showing up at his
residence to teach him a lesson in tolerance.

This should be on Russian TV, the one thing that I don't understand is, who why Russian media is not showing this on prime tv and showing Russians what these assholes think.

They do. It's just not as well done and Russian tv isn't viewed as much as before.
