The Video Of Putin Gasping For Air Did Not Accidentally Hit The Web

The Kremlin dictator is rapidly losing popularity.

The appearance in public of a rough recording of a video message of Russian dictator Putin on the occasion of March 8, in which he coughs and blows his nose, is not an accident - it is an attempt by the Kremlin to raise the interest of Russians in the losing popularity of the head of the Russian Federation.

A project "VChK-OGPU" close to the Russian security services writes about this, citing sources.

According to the interlocutor, the system of control in the presidential administration and the Federal Security Service is so strict that any materials, including photos, videos and draft recordings, go through a multi-level check and never get on the Internet without the knowledge of the security services. A mistake like accidentally posting a recording is ruled out.

A tight isolation is in place around Putin: the staff uses only push-button phones with no Internet, travels on FSO vehicles, and homes are under constant video surveillance. Any material is first checked by personal guards and specialized "bild editors" before publication.

The source explains the publication as a "creative" action by several departments of the administration to draw attention to Putin's statements. This is an attempt to artificially raise interest in the dictator's addresses, given that the usual traffic to the Kremlin website and video views among the Russian population are becoming extremely low. This is evidence of the dictator's fading popularity in Russian society.
