The far right has replaced the old left as Russia’s propaganda tool
In 2018, President Donald Trump endorsed Vladimir Putin’s denial that Russia interfered with the 2016 election, even though American intelligence had reached the opposite conclusion.
The following year, in the Trump impeachment proceedings, House Republicans claimed that Ukraine had interfered with the 2016 election even though Fiona Hill, a former Trump national security council official on Russia, told them th…

The far right has replaced the old left as Russia’s propaganda tool
Tucker Carlson’s fawning interview of Russian President Vladimir Putin echoes the left-wing journalists of the 1920s and 1930s, who downplayed or otherwise covered up Stalin’s murder of millions of Soviet citizens.

"They need to do what’s called income mobilization,” she said. "And increasing taxation is part of this.”

Almost everyone is sure that the Kremlin chief will continue waging war. However, their assessments of what goals he is currently setting for his “special military operation” differ.
One “faction” of interlocutors suggests that following the setbacks Ukraine has recently been suffering in the front line, Putin perceives Ukraine’s weakness and is prepared to escalate efforts towards a “decisive triumph” – taking Kyiv, for example.
Such a move would likely entail further mobilization…

Navalny dies in prison, authorities say − but his blueprint for anti-Putin activism will live on
Alexei Navalny, a persistent thorn in the side of Russian President Vladimir Putin, died on Feb. 16, 2024, in prison, authorities said.

"The [Russian] election that began Friday has taken place in a tightly controlled environment where there are no real alternatives to Putin, no public criticism of him or his war in #Ukraine. Putin’s fiercest political foe, Alexei Navalny, died in an Arctic prison last month, and other critics are either in jail or in exile."

Russian President Vladimir Putin is basking in a victory that was never in doubt, as partial election results showed him easily securing a fifth term after facing only token challengers and harshly suppressing opposition voices. With little margin for protest, Russians crowded outside polling stations at noon Sunday, the last day of the election. They were apparently heeding an opposition call to express their displeasure with Putin. Still, the impending landslide underlined that Putin would ac…
