Well, obviously, protestors (scaryqotes!) don't have free will, why would anyone want to turn their gaze away from the shining bod of Putin and deny the god-given Russian sphere of influence. It is hard to deny the US/EU interest in Ukraine, but the degree of involvement in Maidan is vastly overstated, which leads to Oliver Stone and his  CIA fingerprints garbage.

Speaking of apps and surveillance, Meduza has translated their horrifying article about the unholy union of the coding nerds, amoral enterpreneurs and police state in cyberpunk Russia: https://meduza.io/en/feature/2016/07/14/the-end-of-privacy quote:"Does this mean everybody is under control now?" the Internet show's host asked. "What if someone takes a picture of a man leaving an expensive boutique? His whereabouts could be traced, and the wrongdoers could ambush and mug him." quote:Perlin often uses the Russian equivalent for "cool": "identifying porn actresses is fun and kind of cool"; "it's cool to do something good on a global level"; "it's cool to see pictures of some celeb who's been hacked." He confesses that he liked browsing through Super.ru, a recently closed online tabloid (now a part of Life.ru). quote:"I don't give a hoot. I discuss all kinds of things on social networks. Let the feds read about my sex life and girlfriends. Business correspondence? Let them find out how much I make and who my customers are. I am genuinely convinced that no one is interested. Privacy is overrated. It's no big deal to gain access to someone's phone, so let the secret services read my conversations."  yospos bithc

Scaramouche posted:I read an interesting thing a couple days ago that the hacker stuff might not be motivated by putins love of trump but rather his extreme dislike of Hillary. Some of her sec state stuff coincided with rough times for him, and she oversaw the "reset" when he was trying to build influence again. Absolutely, but Putin and state media paint Obama with the same brush, even when he is barely half as hawkish as Clinton. Putin loves Trump for the same reasons North Korea loves Trump - a complete doofus leading the USA would immensely help building up anti-American sentiment.

forkboy84 posted:Jeff Monson seems to have lost the plot the past few years. I'd love to see the mental gymnastics he performs to justify going from an anarcho-communist protesting war & poverty to becoming a useful idiot for Putin. I hope he's at least being compensated well, not very many opportunities for old MMA fighters. There was a really great article on him in russian, in general he understands that he shills for crooks and dirtiest capitalists, but he has burned all bridges and is directed by the appointed manager. He is no more than a dancing bear being paraded with puffy governors and teaching grapples to putinjugend kids. The article also notes that he used to support Russian antifa and Russian left opposition around 2013, but now he rolls with CPRF because what else he can do. At least Snowden gets to post one anti-Russian tweet every month!

Pellisworth posted:Serious question for Eastern European goons, if NATO and the EU ceased to exist tomorrow, who do you think would intervene if Russia invaded the Baltics? Maybe it's little green men staging a coup and referendum like in Crimea and not an open war. Something like Crimea can only happen with decade worth of fostered animosity towards government and preexisting case for territorial independence (see also South Ossetia in the Georgian conflict of 2008). Russian communities in, say, Estonia, don't have enough power and don't suffer enough discrimination to warrant a Polite Men visit. So I don't think that the Crimean scenario is possible even under President Trump turning NATO into a racket operation. In such case, Russia would just widen its sphere of influence over Baltics with its usual political bullying.

Hey, there is finally an English article about the craziest Russian story of this week. https://globalvoices.org/2016/10/07/atomweight-mma-fighting-comes-to-chechnya-and-the-local-rulers-children-are-already-title-holders/ quote:Kadyrov's feed is full of posts like this one on September 24, where he boasts about always finding time in his busy schedule to maintain his physique. With such an integral focus on fitness, it comes as no surprise that the long-time head of Russia's Chechen Republic has also instilled these virtues in his children, Eli, Adam, and Akhmad; he sometimes posts about their workout regimens and preparations for competitions. quote:Kadyrov also included a snazzy video montage of children abusing drugs and alcohol, followed by footage of his sons wailing on opponents at the MMA tournament, ending with shots of the boys playing video games and carrying their trophies. The final frame features a simple question: “Drug addition or a healthy lifestyle?

Friendly Humour posted:Whoah drat. Been a while since we heard about that guy. What power struggle was it? DNR field commanders really don't like Igor Plotnitsky (or (((Plotnitsky))) as freedom fighters like to remind), the head of LNR because they are rival gangs contesting territory, russian imports and extortion from locals. A number of prominent leaders got killed earlier this year, and both heads of "People Republics" survived hit attempts (both made with IEDs) in August. Obviously, they prefer to blame every death on Ukranian agents, which is very flattering to SBU. Another likely version is Kremlin cleaning house of true believers/setting false flags for re-escalation, but I wouldn't bet on it, too complicated for Russians.

steinrokkan posted:Our only hope is that even if Trump is a Putin wanneabee... For all talk of further decline in US-Russian relations in the case of Clinton presidency, Clinton would have been a predictable politician with a button. Even Putin is a comparatively stable figure - everyone knows his goals and mission statements: no NATO in Eastern Europe, expensive oil, a seat at the big table. Trump is a wildcard with severe ego problems - Russia is going to change its tune once he calls Putin a bald midget on a G7 summit after some Russian partner kicks him on a business deal.

 Russia awfulness digest - https://meduza.io/en/feature/2017/08/20/russian-national-tv-ignored-a-domestic-attack-on-pedestrians-this-saturday-claimed-by-isis quote:Terrorist violence in Catalonia dominated news headlines around the world this weekend, but another attack on Saturday, August 19, occurred in the Russian city of Surgut, where a man non-fatally stabbed seven pedestrians before being shot and killed by police. The “Islamic State” later claimed responsibility for the incident, though Russian law enforcement are not investigating the stabbings as an act of terrorism. Surprisingly, Russian national news networks nearly ignored the attack in Surgut. Russian media loooves to gloat about every terrorist (alleged or real) attack in Europe and alarm viewers about Islamic/refugee "menace", but carefully ignores a situation where they can sweep a lone wolf attack under the rug and avoid tensions inside Russia. Confusion resulted in Emmanuel Macron offering condolences through twitter while Putin was telling kids in Crimea about the dangers of prostitutes and Franz Schubert's death from syphilis. - https://twitter.com/mashant/status/899633445684510721 Interesting investigation from Fontanka newspaper that connects Wagner PMC operating in Syria with Evgeniy Prigozhin, "Putin's Chef" who has numerous Defense Ministry contracts and is generally agreed to be the man behind Russian "troll factories". Maybe Brown Moses has some details on that in English. Curiously, Fontanka is not really a liberal or opposition newspaper, so that infodump may point to someone in Kremlin being unhappy with Prigozhin's business and his merceneraries' perfomance in Syria. - http://tass.com/society/961328 quote:MOSCOW, August 22. /TASS/. Investigators have detained stage director Kirill Serebrennikov on the suspicion of masterminding 68-million-ruble ($1 million) fraud, Investigative Committee spokeswoman Svetlana Petrenko said." The IC special investigations department has detained the artistic director of the Moscow theater Gogol-Center Kirill Serebrennikov. He is suspected of masterminding the embezzlement of no less than 68 million rubles disbursed for the project Platform," she said. Being an artist in Russia remains a dangerous occupation! Serebrinnikov is easily the most famous modern Russian theater director and one of the Russian movie directors recognized abroad (at least in festival and arthouse circles), so it is a big deal. fatherboxx fucked around with this message at 10:33 on Aug 22, 2017 |

pigdog posted:Giving minimum media attention to terrorist attacks is a good and effective way of combatting it. Wish the Western media followed suit instead of plastering the faces of "martyrs" all over the news. Yes! But I would like Russia to follow that approach in all coverage, not just when they can afford it. St. Petersburg attack earlier this year almost resulted in a witch hunt for a bearded dude in muslim clothing who was unrelated to the bombing - yet media happily distributed his photo for the whole day.
