Putin shakes nuclear weapons before the electorate, but the Russians are scared
He simply reassures the Russians, because those surveys that are still conducted in Russia indicate that the population is afraid of the Great War. Political observer Leonid Shvets told this in an interview with focus. In his opinion, everything that happens in the so -called "new territories" (occupied parts of Ukraine) is of little concern to the average Russians and they are even accustomed to large losses. But the global world nuclear war is still frightening them.
"With his statements to negotiate with" big guys ", not Ukraine, Putin simply demonstrates disdain for us and emphasizes the vassality of Ukraine invented by him," emphasizes Shvets. "All this is an interview with propagandist Dmitry Kiselev is just another protrusion before the electorate" .
With regard to the anonymous representatives of the so -called "Navalnya combat units", who stated that they were ready to blow out the polls to reveal Putin for the death of the opposition leader, according to Schvets, it is more like provocation from the FSB. Although, perhaps in Russia, there are really young people that is ready to do so radically.
"On the other hand, such statements can reverse people come to the polls, and for authoritarian countries, such as the Russian Federation, turnout demonstrates the support of the leader," says Shvets. "If people do not go to vote, then it speaks of the weakness of the leader.
" According to the political observer, the essence of today is that Europe needs to be proved to the world, including the US and China that the Russian Federation is not just an aggressive fragment of the USSR, but a serious problem. If the United States washed their hands and leave this problem to solve Europe, it will be solved for a long time and bloody.
