“Generation Putin” gives the West a boot
Ivan Danilov for RIA NEWS
Translation by Scott Humor
Leading American, British, and Australian publications, such as the Wall Street Journal, the Australian, and the Daily Telegraph, almost simultaneously published materials with the same message: “A new generation of Russia chooses Putin, not iPhones. This generation is terrible, there is no hope for it.”
Similar titles for the articles of three different publications tell us that initially they were given the same task to write articles about how “teenagers will sweep Putin away.” But in the process of studying a new generation of Russian voters, something went wrong.
“Putinagers,” with an exception of some pro-Western outcasts, turned out to be not to the foreign researchers’ liking. There is a suspicion that there is a certain connection between the process of acquaintance of our Western “partners” with young Russians and how their approach to anti-Russian information policy has changed.
Previously, in the vast majority of cases, our opponents tried to stick to the classical principle of American propaganda of the Cold War era, which stated that it was always necessary to divide and put the people against their leadership, emphasizing the oppression and powerlessness of people who crave liberation from the tyrannical and cruel Soviet and then Russian leaders. However, now there is a kind of rollback to earlier primitive forms of propaganda, so Russians are often being demonized already “wholesale,” without much division on those who lead and those who vote.
Apparently, earlier on they tried to incite the younger generation, which grew up on the dubious information diet consisting of social media, Hollywood movies, and infectious YouTube videos, against the government, which would bring on a repeat destruction of the Russian statehood.
These hopes were actively fueled by the “expert community” consisting of so-called political emigrants, from Masha Gessen to Chichvarkin, as well as by many anti-government activists within Russia itself. Their hope that this new generation would follow the Maidan path and would want to “trade their homeland for an opportunity to feel like Europeans” to some extent was justified. In many countries, from Egypt to Ukraine, it was young people who drove destructive political processes that were actively fueled from outside.
But in the case of Russia, the West sustained not only catastrophic, but also a very visual breakdown of its scheme.
The Wall Street Journal reports that according to the polls of the Levada center, Vladimir Putin’s approval rating is the highest among an age group of 18 to 24 years and is 86%, which simply tears into flaps American ideas about what young Russians, who grew up in the era of the Internet should be like.
American journalists conducted a series of interviews with these youngest Russians and noted that they appreciate the opportunities that they have and that their parents did not have, as well as them being very skeptical about revolutions, preferring evolutionary changes for the better.
“Putin’s popularity is undeniable, especially among young people,” states The Australian, a flagman of Australian press. “In Russian “a generation Putin” is more active than their parents and more pro Kremlin than their parents,” regrets the Daily Telegraph in Britain.
Gradually, our Western partners begin to realize that Putin is not a historical aberration, but a historical regularity. And all that they do not like in Putin, in fact, refers not only and not so much to him as a politician and statesman, but to the Russians as a whole. For a long time, Western experts perceived the Russian leader as the embodiment of the resentment of a generation that couldn’t forget the trauma of the collapse of the USSR. But it is now clear that Putin is the voice of values and ideals shared by Russians of all ages. Many in the West hoped that the revival and activation of Russia on the international scene is a temporary phenomenon that they could just endure and wait it out. Now it turns out that to wait for a new opportunity to get Russia in exchange for “jeans” is no longer sensible. This brings out their outright rage.
A traditional passion of Western politicians and media for demonizing Putin is gradually complemented by a willingness, or even an active desire, to stigmatize all Russians as a whole. Of recent examples we can recall the statement of Alexander Pechtold, the leader of “Democrats 66” one of the ruling parties of the Netherlands who had found an original way to justify a lie that discredited the Minister Halbe Zijlstra. The latter, as we remember, admitted that for many years he had lied about meeting with Vladimir Putin and that he personally heard about the plans of the Russian President for the Baltic States. Speech in support of his fellow liar Pechtold ended with the phrase: “I have never met a Russian who would correct his mistakes.” The Dutch politician would hardly have an audacity or the courage to make a similar statement about any other ethnic group. This sad trend is already too visible to be ignored.
It may seem that switching the propaganda machine to the total denigration of all Russians is a purely irrational move. But it’s only at first glance. Such strategy has its advantages. At a minimum, it is much more convenient and efficient to frighten Western people with “Russians as a whole” and “thousand-year Imperial ambitions of Russia” than to concentrate exclusively on Putin.
Our opponents think that have a chance to put pressure on the unique pressure point of our civilization, the desire to “be good.” The USSR fell not only because of the betrayal of the elites, or a desire to trade our country for 300 varieties of sausage, not only due to the economic difficulties, but also because a certain part of society believed that we collectively should “become good” in the eyes of the so-called “civilized world”.
Perhaps it is for the sake of repeating the sweet success of the Cold War, that West constantly shames us, and especially our young people, and demands repentance for everything — great and small, real and imaginary. For the victory in the Great Patriotic war and for poisoning of Skripal, for Rodchenkov’s doping scheme, and Putin’s behavior, for “Gazprom” and “millennial Russia’s Imperial ambitions,” for all the historical resentment of the Baltic border states and so on. Therefore, we, as a society, are simply obliged to explain to our young citizens that we, the Russians, are all right and we owe nothing to anyone. And that those who wish to instill in us some sort of national guilt, need to be firmly rejected and offered to look in the mirror and to see in there millions of corpses of Libyans and Iraqis, the ashes of Odessa, and deeper, severed hand of servants from the Belgian rubber plantations. It is desirable that our new generations would develop a strong reflex: when the collective West shames them, it fact it is trying to grab their wallet.
Judging by the portrait of our new generation, drawn by the Western media, Russia’s future is in safe hands, in the hands of active, patriotic, rational and very inventive young Russians.
Unfortunately, our geopolitical opponents are not ready to leave future Russia in peace. This means that today’s young people will have to come up with methods and technologies necessary to protect themselves, their loved ones, their cities and villages, and their country. They will have to conduct acts of industrious, scientific and military heroism. They will have to win in a tough global economic, scientific and military competition. They will have to invent new weapons, new ideologies and new financial instruments. The younger generation of Russians will have a complicated but incredibly interesting collective biography. We can place our trust in our young people. They can handle it.

In case you have forgotten what happened in Ukraine, this book should refresh your memory with the incredibly precise and humorous chronicles: ANTHOLOGY OF RUSSIAN HUMOR: FROM MAIDAN TO TRUMP
This Putin generation and the next ones coming are more valuable than the natural gas and oil in the ground.
They will build a great nation and show the world a great human future.
It is very exciting to see that the young people understand that the future belongs to them to shape Russia, to reform it, to literally invent it and the society they want for themselves and their children and grandchildren.
and worldwide he keeps oldtimer’s hearts young and hopefull
This hatred of Russians as a whole points unerringly to Zionazi influence. The Zionazis are furious, in their habitual deranged fashion, with Russia for thwarting the Oded Yinon Plan to vivisect Syria and split it into four or so powerless statelets, while offering up hundreds of thousands of mitzvot to their psychotic God, and his representative on Earth, Bibi the Bloodthirsty. The trajectory of Zionazi self-destruction was always plain, from millennia of history where hatred of the goyim and delight in their destruction, was intermingled with savage goy retaliation and pogroms, massacres and expulsions.
Judaism operates on a mechanism of hatred and separation, of massacres suffered and inflicted and celebrated year after year, and of an antipathy towards the goyim that only grows and grows. It thus follows the pattern of Wahhabism, other religious fundamentalisms, totalistic political ideologies and Free Market neo-liberal capitalism, that has almost finished the job of consuming Life on Earth in its insatiable, cancerous, lust for growth and profit. Judaism is just the oldest, organised, still extant example of the type.
Of course many Jews have struggled against the exclusivist, supremacist, xenophobic manifestation of their tribal mythology, but they, unfortunately, lost out to the Talmudic and secular fascists. Israel is rooted in three great hatreds-that of Judaism, itself, of the non-Jews. That of the European settler colonists, whose hatred of the indigenous who must be swept away so that the chosen Herrenvolk can enjoy their God-given lebensraum, always turns genocidal, and that of the victims of the Nazi Judeocide, whose fear and hatred of the goyim was thus, understandably, doubled and redoubled.
Unfortunately, in an age of weapons of mass destruction, and with the War of Terror against the Islamic world an impossible ambition, Israel is simply digging its own grave with its incessant aggression and the manipulation of its Western puppet states to attack Russia and China for ‘getting in the way’ of its Talmudic ambitions to universal power. And with clear psychotics like Bibi and his ilk in command, with the thugs of the Zionazi Diaspora feeding Judeophobic hatred through their attacks everywhere on Freedom of Opinion and Speech under the spurious excuse of ‘antisemitism’, and with the resistance, like Hezbollah going nowhere (because they have nowhere but their ancient homes to go to-certainly not Crown Heights, Golders Green or Dover Heights)and with adherents of the Samson Option and the Masada Complex rife in the Zionazi cabals, well things are not exactly looking up, are they?
Thanks for the translation Scott – an important piece.
Funnily enough someone pointed out to me just the other day about another article in the Economist titled “Meet the Puteens” with the strap line – “Those who have known only Vladimir Putin don’t want revolution”.
It seems the Economist had spent months interviewing dozens of 18 year-olds across Russia in the months leading up to the election.
Well done to the young Russians for not being enamoured with the “West” and its “values” and following their own path. As you say the country’s future is secured by their youth…….
A nice piece capped off with a triumphant call for Russia’s youth to rise to the challenge.
I am surprised and delighted by the data showing strong support for Putin’s policies. IMO that is not only a poke in the eye to the West, but also a sign of a healthy body politic that refuses to back down or plead guilty for past “crimes”.
Germany is still made to feel guilty about the Holocaust and is still paying reparations two generations after the war. I do not draw this comparison to insinuate some kind of moral equivalence between the Russian national behavior and German atrocities, but simply to point out that there is no end to the guilt so long as the “guilty” keep paying up…the debt is NEVER paid so far as the Zionists are concerned..and it is largely Zionists that are driving this anti-Russian hysteria.
I think that same group expected their intimidation tactics to work on the Russians as well. But whether it is a difference between Russian and German temperament or simply the dawning realization by the Russians that the regime changes in Ukraine, Iraq, Libya, Serbia, etc didn’t exactly work out very well for the inhabitants, or that there is a resurgence of national pride that we can largely credit to Putin himself, I do not know. I only know that this is welcome news indeed.
ps-loved this pearl of wisdom…the youth are “being very skeptical about revolutions, preferring evolutionary changes for the better.” No other group in the world is perhaps better schooled than the Russians on the dangers, distortions,horrors, and unintended consequences that revolutions frequently bring with them.
Gramsci (Italian philosopher, 1860–1937) understood that revolutions were not the way to go – he wrote about the need to build a ‘historic block’ to bring about change. This is how Russia fits in the present time. The youngsters are the inevitable continuation of the Eastern block – they will remain despite the attempt at brainwash, by the western media, with these kinds of ‘Trojan horse’ interviews.

Yes, revolutions are not wise. However, you always get them when the elite falls asleep, forgetting to look around. Putin obviously understands this. That’s why he has the support of the young.
“Leading American, British, and Australian publications, such as the Wall Street Journal, the Australian, and the Daily Telegraph, almost simultaneously published materials with the same message.”

So much for independent editorial policy.
And here’s a great example of independent foreign policy in the “free world”.

When it comes to The Telegraph, nothing surprising. it was always the worst propaganda outlet in England, right wing and brutal in it’s accusations.
Here I come again. This is such a wise move on behalf of Putin and his team. Our generation (He is almost my age) grew up well educated in every area, and this means that he understands that young people have to be politically savvy in order to understand what “keep your nose in your telephone” brainwashing machine of the west is doing to all of us.
‘Selfies’ have been promoted as glamorous in the west – it is an obsession. There are also mobile programs such as WhatsApp and Instagram that brainwash kids. Russian kids, beware!
And not only, there is more to it. And yes it’s a social sickness. If you happened to live in, what I call China “an area where they seem to hold majority of the population, all you see is them zombified with their noses in their phone. Walking, driving, shopping, everywhere they are.
.. Russian developing youth will need a pop culture alternative to Hollywood’s mass marketing of US dominance and nurturing taking pleasure in righteous violence. (Eg. the Superhero flicks).
They will also need a set of pornography preferences different from the butt sex/male money shot close-ups that dominate the genera in the right wing western “liberal democracies”. :-D

What young people need is a liberal education in sciences and humanities, This will educate them to verify, measure, question and evaluate the world that they live in. It seems to me that the young people by their support for Putin are well on the way to be critical thinkers. .
I have to compliment the young people in Russia.
And I am thankful that they do not fall for the smoke and mirrors in the West.
Excellent, excellent report. And verified by the western MSM no less!
Thanks Scott
At least these children know how to live. There is more to life than an IPhone or Skype or Katy Perry’s next girlfriend. I wish them health and happiness.
Danilov does a nice job here.
A quibble with the trans, though:
“which simply tears into flaps American ideas about what young Russians”
Rips into shreds I think would be better.
Danilov also wrote a very interesting commentary on the “me too” campaign a few weeks back.
‘ Russia’s future is in safe hands, in the hands of active, patriotic, rational and very inventive young Russians.” Unless Bolton and company decide to end it all.
Bolton is a scarecrow:with his nomination as advisor Trump erased the relevance of the post.
Oh my! All the hand-wringing in the West about this sorry state of affairs will likely contribute to global warming.
Told you it was man-made ….. conclusive proof at last!
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – President Donald Trump is expected to receive a recommendation from the White House National Security Council to expel even more Russian diplomats over allegations related to the poisoning of double agent Sergei Skripal, US media reported.
Earlier on Friday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow has seen no hard evidence to substantiate UK allegations on the poisoning of Skripal, so the accusations seem like a provocation.
The National Security Council made the decision to recommend taking action against Russia at a meeting at the White House earlier this week, CNN said, citing a single source “with knowledge of the situation.”
State Department Spokesperson Heather Nauert told Sputnik later that Washington is considering a number of measures to take against Moscow with respect to allegations related to the poisoning.

Oh my gosh! Superb information and hugely comforting to know. I worry every hour of every day about the incredible attacks against Russia, her president and her people. My big fear is for the future of the country after President Putin can no longer serve. But this article has given me enormous hope that the young people will be there for their country. I know it is a dangerous time for Russia and the world but this glimmer of hope that the young Russians have not fallen for the obvious evil of my country, USA. I love Russia and your President.
Well, my estimate is that if the West will behave friendly toward russians the Russia will fully develop its economy in 15-20 years, essentially in one generation. And if the West will continue to behave arrogantly, callously, and see them as an enemy, than Russia will fully develop its economy… in 15-20 years, essentially in one generation. However, in the 2-d case there will be long lingering suspicion of western intentions poisoning relationship for a loong time. A pity.
West will behave friendly toward Russians and Russia only when entire so called western political elite go to rubbish bin of history.
And it is not going to happen peacefully.
I am afraid this is a very realistic assessment… but I also hope for the unexpected..
I think Russia along with China will redefine the ‘Moral Code’ for both intranational and international relationships.
Can anyone shed light on the disappearance of New Eastern Outlook.?..neo-journal
I have been working seeing that myself. Three days now I have not been able to connect.
The same in the UK.
I can log onto the site in South Africa, but it seems to be corrupted.
yes, I have noticed the disappearance of this high quality alternative media site as well. Anyone any clue what’s going on with NEO?

Weird is the word of the day. Maybe just closed down, for whatever reason. Or maybe the web-server died. Time will tell.
Probably a victim of the DDOS attacks on many ‘alternative media’ sites that are Russian friendly.
The Anglo Americans are chewing the rug and soiling themselves in impotent rage that they have failed to colonize the hearts and minds of Russian youth and turn them into Pro-Anglo traitors… sorry ….liberal democrats.
I guess Pussy Riot, Facebook, and Hollyweird aren’t quite the “soft power” propaganda weapons that the Pentagon believes them to be.
Facebook had no chance in Russia due to the wide availability of domestic equivalents VK (ВКонтакте) and OK (Одноклассники). Facebook usage peaks in Moscow and St Pete amongst the “trendies”. But if anyone thinks that Russian youth are not obsessed with social media, they had better think again. From the time kids start school in September at around 7 y.o. there is immense social pressure to get a smartphone. Cheap Chinese models are readily available and mama and papa, or baba and dedya are “coaxed” to deliver. Hand-me-downs work initially, but then there is a “requirement” for something bigger and better.
Luckily the repair culture is still alive in Russia and phones last quite a few years without pressure for annual upgrades. Plus the summer dacha culture ensures that most kids unplug from social media and electronics for at least a few months.
86% is very good.
But it has to be 99.999%. Everyone in Russia has to be aware one another great threat to their country.
This world depends on Russia and its resistance, or entire world would sink into totalitarian global dictatorship and terror.

Knowing what is happening in our community, our country, our world, is critical to being informed citizens. This is essential for any democracy, but what hope is there for our society when most journalist have no idea what a democracy is.
I have never asked a journalist to please me or to agree with me I have just asked him or her to present the facts that are verifiable and measurable and only that way he/she will be able to win the hearts and minds of the community and the right to be called a journalist.
In the West ambition, gets in the way of the truth, the truth is lost and with it social justice. When journalists serve economic and political masters they ignore the middle ground when lies, cronyism and nepotism are in question.
Yes, journalists are faced with many difficulties, regardless they must expose what they know despite how this will affect the powerful and the powerless. They must defend people like Assange, Snowden and others who have sacrificed their freedom to report the truth. The greatest sin, which is killing the Western Media is the fact that journalists manipulate information and refuse to include in their journalism what they know to be the truth. You cannot schmoose with the boss or the MLA of your political party and then say that you are neutral.
One of the main things that journalists in the West are guilty of is that they are poorly educated in World History, geography, political Science and the Humanities so they recycle propaganda or the agenda of the powerful nations. This is understandable since the Western Media gets its information from the same sack of potatoes which is owned by three or four corporations. When one gets constant mindless irrelevant garbage about the Kardashians rather than what is really behind the Russian Gate, Iran Gate, and North Korea Gate we might be able to save ourselves from another war or understand the world economy and why democracy must include both political and economic equality or at least equal access to both.
When journalists don’t think of democratic societies as operating in the interests of, and on behalf of, the bulk of the people who make them up they become irrelevant. For me personally democratic societies reflect and promote diverse interests. In contrast, societies that exist to serve the interests of a tiny elite at the apex of society, or foreign masters, can hardly be said to be democratic, even if they have elections, secret ballots, and so on. What we have now in Canada First Past The Post (FPTP) and in other countries whose political heritage comes through the monarchy is a dictatorship that serves the elite since they choose, finance, and manipulate the elected representatives who promote their agenda.
Yes, we may run clean multi-party elections on a regular basis without producing a democratic society. What we have in Canada is public policy which leads to procedural democracy, thus in Canada we are dominated by elite business owners and investors, therefore they and their puppets representatives want FPTP process for elections where the bulk of our citizens has little to no influence on public policy, despite regular elections at the municipal, provincial and national levels; a privately-owned press; and guarantees of political and civil liberties.
So, what is my beef. Well it is in the way news is paid for using the business model. Using this model to deliver news profit trumps the truth all the way from the owner to the paper delivery boy that is why in Canada we have a granddaughter of a former Nazi as Minister of Foreign Affairs Christina Alexandra “Chrystia” Freeland who guides Canada’s feign policy. She calls her grandfather as freedom fighter but ignores to tell us that her GF Chomiak cooperated with the Nazis in Killing Soviet citizens while the Jewish owner of the newspaper he took over was gassed in Auschwitz. Canada gave him sanctuary as we did for thousand other Nazis from Germany, Croatia, Poland and just about everywhere this scum was worse than the German soldier.
the word of our time:PRESSTITUDE.
“Freedom without socialism is privilege and injustice; socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality” –
Bakunin
What we have is a unipolar world, where representatives alone get to create and destroy laws, and where the only thing they need to do to continue creating and destroying our laws is get re-s/elected.
Representative democracy is evolutionary autocracy. It only gives the population a process to change lawmakers that is less bloody and a little less bumpy. It embodies the spirit of the law when it comes to democracy. A perfect example of an effective system of revolutionary autocracy is the Mandate of Heaven (at least cause it lasted 3000 years as a system of government), but even in it it is the population that legitimately overthrow an ineffective government, nothing much different when Qi fell to Han as when the Obama successor loses to Trump. There is no real change in the fact that we are still replacing people and not laws.
Any decisions on our actual laws, and whether we wish to be ruled by them, are effectively out of our own hands, and have been through all forms of government, outside of any semi-direct democracy or direct democracy. Only Switzerland fits the semi-direct category pretty well in the modern era, Athens was the Bitcoin. What would make us not live in any system defines as autocratic in some way, would be the adding of directly democratic meassures to all our democratic systems, east or west, if only to allow societies to strike what they consider ineffective laws out. The representatives can then be either selected or elected (the council of 7 is selected by the Federal Assembly in Switzerland, no one seems to mind!), they would not be able to keep laws that were stupid and biased for long anyways. We need balance in the letter of the law, with respect to the plebs and the patricians. And then the same for inter-state relations!
Maybe Boorish Johnson was right to be afraid that the World Cup would be used as a ‘propaganda exercise’. This year is the centenary of the murder of the Russian Royal Family. Hundreds of thousand of pilgrims are expected in Yekaterinburg for the commemoration and certainly many other will take place all over Russia. The ‘West’ would be exposed to the living proof of the failure of the Revolution. The ‘sanction’ of not sending the British Royals to the Cup is ‘most likely’ to be extended to their non-attendance to the commemoration at Yekaterinburg (where they are invited). People are perfectly aware of Britain’s betrayal of the Tsar, that they have their hands soiled with his and his family blood (as well as with Rasputin’s). Westerners who have internalized for generations the slanderous stories about the “Bloody’ Tsar universally hated by the Russians, might be in for a shock at the growing veneration for the Tsar Martyr.

“This means that today’s young people will have to come up with methods and technologies necessary to protect themselves”
Step one: Know your enemy.
Chasing Jewish Mafia news porn won’t do – you only will become a useless, half-educated news porn addict, and suffer from cognitive dissonance on top.
You have to study the faking of history, organized crime, fiat money, the judiciary as a subset of the banking cartel, mass psychology, social engineering, culture creation, brain washing, perception management, entertainment as enslavement, etc.
Step zero: Know yourself.
This is the lifelong, subjective study of one’s thoughts and emotions – i.e. the mind – by the means of prayer, all kind of spiritual practices, and meditation.
What is meditation? The witnessing of one’s mind, that, as it turns out in the process of ‘sitting silently, doing nothing’, cannot be even called one’s own mind, but just mind. Without at least having glimpses of the realization that you are not your body, you are not your mind, your body/mind can be manipulated by outside forces with utmost ease without you even noticing forever and forever.
A great article. I’ve watched President Putin’s Q&A with young people for the past few years. Can anyone in the West imagine their ‘leaders’ doing the same – sitting for several hours answering a wide variety of questions? Let alone telling the truth or having an understanding of their country? Russia is the largest country in the world. The fact that President Putin has such a deep knowledge of it is very impressive. This is displayed in the address to the youth along with the nationwide Q&A session and the annual press conference.the Western presstitutes will tell you that the questions are ‘carefully hand picked’. That’s pretty funny when you realise that these events all run for several hours.
Of course Putin is greatly admired. I always tell people about a film i saw of him at the opening of the largest mosque in Europe (i think it was that). Representatives of all the main religions were on a podium, waiting for V.V Putin to arrive. When he arrived they almost fell over each other to be first to shake his hand. It was a telling display of admiration for the man.
Here in the UK every time our PM, foreign secretary or any of the other members of this most discredited of governments opens their mouths, a lie pops out.
Good for young Russians!
This observer of youth on the web personally believes nothing coming from Yankee Brit or Canuk 20 somethings except for just one or two i look at, and it’s almost the same, & in the flesh, for the Aussie Kiwi & EU 20’s. This has been a fairly recent change, maybe the last 5 – 15 years or so, before that they were just plain hostile but more honest about it. There appear to be a few more innocent teens, but not many. This is very disappointing if there is to be any future for our species. Sorry, but looking at only one Russian 20’s male was not too impressive as to his honesty. Actually in the flesh in the East i hope the above is a different story, here at least they are more polite. Sorry to be so negative, i hope this is a wrong observation. I wish you all, including youth, the best.
”A traditional passion of Western politicians and media for demonizing Putin is gradually complemented by a willingness, or even an active desire, to stigmatize all Russians as a whole.”
That’s exactly what happened to the fabulous blogger Kim ”La Russophobe” Zigfeld back in late 2014. Having tried in vain for years to bang her head right through a 10 meter brick wall with insane ”Western message of revolution to the Kremlin oppressed Russian people” — in English, of course — she suddenly saw the light and instantly threw in the towel. Her very last submission began as follows (emphasis added):
Four years after this menopausal loon, the same extremely sad conclusion has started to dawn upon the entire MSM (whose garbage Kim just perfumed with her own little odours, of course). However, I must say that for all her manifest insanity, Kim had the senses to stop. Seems likely she understood that she had better ”give up on the Russians” rather than start to call for outright anti-Russian genocide.
Today’s presstitutes will have less problems than Kim Zigfeld. They are happily lying and endorsing any sick Zionazi depravity without much thought. Since the Maidan option is 100% out in Russia’s case, they will start sounding like the Ukronazis, with or without any formal instructions.
Nussi, the presstitutes here in Austfailure are running a similar hate campaign against China, and easily, and happily, slipping into slander of long extant local Chinese communities, some 200 years old, fully integrated (Chinese were among the earliest Australian Rules football devotees)and many reinforced over the years by Chinese exiles and anti-Communists, as potential subversives. The vast Chinese student community, that pours several billion a year into our higher education system is also under vile attack, and scientific co-operation with China, too, lest those solar panels be turned into weapons of war. Racism is mother’s milk to all Rightists, but the sheer suddenness, extremity and villainy of this campaign smacks of US supervision.
There is another penny or two to drop with the Skripal hoax.
The MSM has steered clear of referencing the connections between Skripal and the Steele dossier because the intention is to pretend at a future date that a discovery has been made that it was the Russians under Putin direction who fed Skripal the triple agent with false information so as to in fact cause harm to Trump and assist Hillary to win because of the back room dealing vis Uranium and Clinton Foundation. It is going to be said that the entire Hillary schtick regarding Trump collusion was nothing more that Hillary projecting her own criminality onto Trump. Now these things may seem obvious to readers on this site but to the greater mass of humanity in the West it will be spun into confirmation.
The hoax poisoning of the Skripals is intended as the live wire link which proves Putin’s guilt and Hillary’s guilt. It will be used to prove Hillary was Putin’s accomplice.
But I for one believe Obama selected Trump as his successor and the proof for it is in the deeds of Comey wherein he caused Hillary irreparable harm two weeks out from the election. Comedy could only SCT as he did under Obama direction.
The biggest difference between Russia and the USA teen population is not acquiescence vs activism, but how different systems meet the needs of that narrow age group. People in the West, my neighbors, have been told by politicians, ministers, and other social leaders that communism equates with fascist authoritarian abuses that are an anathema to US democratic values (few as they seem to be these days).
It is rather easy to point to political purges in the millions by communist leaders like Stalin and Mao, yet overlook the US Civil war as something other than an attempt to change political systems. Historically, every major regime change involves bloodshed. That historical fact does not condone authoritarian rule in the name of regime change. It does, however, challenge any smug binary world view that the evils associated with communism contrast with those associated with US democracy. Others have written about the body count of capitalism – and US democratic neolib capitalism in particular. Check the body counts from Afghanistan, Syria, Vietnam, or Korea.
Accusations of state-run media being a propaganda machine that has turned Russian teens into sheep are also disingenuous. One only has to look at FoxNews and the bald-face lies coming from the WH press secretary every day to see that capitalism merely does it differently than communism.
Finally, consider the fact that Russia is no longer a communist state but an oligarchy similar to the US. Both claim to be republics, but in both countries the top 1% in wealth call all the important shots. Both governments have mobsters, gangs, thugs, crime, and even insurgents (Bundy et al. in the US is an example). Both are lead by autocrats neck-deep in conflicts of interest that use wealth as a tool of political dominance. Teenagers may be impetuous and fickle, but they are not blind to what they see. After all, nobody is regularly shooting them while studying at school, while their government dithers.
Yes, young Russians voted for Putin, as I knew they would. The point is that the West applied old style propaganda methods against Russia, hoping they would succeed and Russia ending up with a new pro-Western political puppet. No way this could happen.The West forgot two things. First of all, nobody can forget the Yeltsin years, when Russia was plundered of billions of dollars by Western banks and corporations, and when poverty war rife. Secondly, everybody is watching the situation in Ukraine, where the West applied a repeat performance of what it did in Russia under Yeltsin. Ukraine is now in a worse situation than what Russia was under Yeltsin. These two facts turned the people towards Putin. And thirdly, that silly false flag attack in England just convinced Russians that the West means them no good.
The only thing which surprised me about the Russian elections is that there were no NGO organized demonstrations against Putin. I was expecting them. Obviously Soros and his pals had trouble organizing them. I would not be surprised if they didn’t even bother doing so, knowing how popular Putin is.
Russia under Putin is experiencing a revival. It’s on the rise. This cannot be prevented. More than one analyst has stated that the Russian/Chinese economic partnership will see a split between the elites in Europe and the US. I think it is inevitable. Europe is bound to turn to Russia. It;s only a matter of time.

The general theme of the article is that young Russians have the opportunity and responsibility to continue the growth and prosperity being built in Russia now. The US newspapers that denigrate the youth of Russia for admiring Putin do not offer any information about our millennials. Do we raise our children to feel a connection to our country – that they have to power to mold our country into something better? Do the millennials see themselves as future managers? To invent the future and society they want for themselves and their children? I do not know anybody that does that.
Interesting ! Only a few days ago I happend to run into a litle brawl in and in front of a major Smartphone company here. A mid-aged woman and husband where infuriated to the point where they tried to attack one of the sales person physically. In another instance a colleague of mine told me that he got a brutal demonstration of power by the nearest apple-store regarding a malfunctioning iPhone – where obviously some App had crashed – and threatend all his adresses stored.
Already now the first signs show up, they are on the way to totally hook everybody onto their pile of crap with no escape and becoming totally at their mercy !
Great if Russians got the smell and are leaving the pit…!
Right now we learn of what type Suckerberg and his Facebook fraud really are. From the very beginning it was designed to get access to YOUR mind and your secrets, just read the leaked ‘private’ conversations !
When considering the type of being that Suckerberg is, than one can be 100% sure where the data is read in real time and examined.
