>Over 80 percent of Russians are unwilling to take part in mass protests over political or economic issues, latest opinion poll shows.
Is this just RT propaganda? I can't imagine such high % of people not being ready to protest over such important issues. I also understand that speaking against Putin can make you go to prison or getting murdered, but still...
If this survey (although it could have been also fake) was made in Germany or France, people would called them cucks and other meme names.

Russians aren't retards like the rest of the population.
They know they're being attacked from the outside with sanctions, currency manipulation and oil prices , for the reason of turning against each other and falling appart of Russian federation
Tyler Johnson
That is true, but the oligarchs aren't making things easier either for the normal russians
Jason Scott
>outside with sanctions, currency manipulation and oil prices
Great marxist narrative but I think the reason they don't want to protest is different and it has nothing to do with "external right wing death squads wants to kill beautiful mother russia" or whatever.
The reason is they have nothing much to complain.
Their situation is not bad at all and they know protesting on the streets like savages dindus won't make a difference.

Perhaps at this time. Conditions are generally ok for most people. Change the conditions, and the outcome changes.
Camden Scott
The reality is almost all polls are fake
While RT is not as bad as CNN, ZDF or BBC they are not the saviors of journalism.
The media don't want to inform the public they want to control them and obviously you can't control them without (((altering))) information
Liam Perez
Not bad at all? Their infrastructure is falling apart and the average salary is like 350 $.
Connor Ortiz
Most people don't complain until they are starving. It took about 4 years of daily food ration in Venezuela for people to go to the streets.
That's not a rule but I assume is like that in all countries which lived under communist rule or received leftist brainwashing in some way.

What are you talking about you retard? An American backed regime was just insalled in Ukraine a few years ago with the help of Americans. Then they put sanctions on Russia, and manipulated their currency and the oil prices. This has nothing to do with left or right
>Their situation is not bad at all and they know protesting on the streets like savages dindus won't make a difference.
Probably this too, life has gotten a bit worse since the santions and oil prices hit but not as bad as western media depicts

98% of ukranians weren't aware of it. You can't blame the population for trying to get rid of corrupt politicians.
Also, the USA help came much later in the process. If you want to blame someone you should look for people within the russian federation

The poll was made by Levada-center which was recently put on foreign agents list for receiving foreign funding, so it's likely legit and not just "RT propaganda". While quality of life dropped somewhat and prices especially on foreign goods have risen, it's not really nearly as bad as to riot. Well, at least for Russian perception, maybe Westerners would riot if their wages went down 5%, but we have had a crisis after a crisis pretty much always and the current one is not even the worst. And mass political protests are even less likely since most people are either apolitical or support the government.
What are the numbers for other countries anyway?

It's hard to get people to answer polls honestly in any circumstance. We're talking about a country in which journalists and opposition leaders have been assassinated, allegedly. Why run any risk? What's the pollster going to give you in return? Nothing
Blake Morales
i've been to Petersburg and you guys are doing fine. Would live/10, almost everything is better comparing to Europe. Only Netherlands are on par with Russia IMO.
Was surprised to see how many young people are subverted by western propaganda, they think Europe is like rainbows and unicorns. Tried to redpill the youth as much as possible, because i actually saw whole Europe and it's really overhyped

The easily-suggestible morons of the American Left riot and protest because Hollywood taught them that it "makes a difference" and represents "democracy in action," which of course is understood as a positive thing in itself. American blacks especially are prone to riot. They are taught by our (((media))) that every problem in their lives is whitey's fault. Obongo encourages this belief. Generally speaking, the American Right doesn't riot or even protest very much. Most still believe they should register discontent at the voting box. Hence, the Trump ascendency.

Great. Have another dish

And if they protest will these things change?
Russia won't be colonized like Eastern Yurop, the western nations aren't interested in developing Russia, the West just wants to subdue them.
Even if the government falls, nothing will change for the better, they'll just lose their bargaining chips and things will be like they were in the 90s.
Russians remember the disaster that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union. It's a way different story than in Poland.

Protest must be sanctioned.
To sanction protest, it must be pro-government or useless.
If protest is against government, it can never be sanctioned.
Unsanctioned protestors, alongside media posters, can receive "Extremism" charge and go to actual jail for at least 2 years.
There'll be cruelty during apprehension and detainment too.
It's like Nazi Germany releasing article on how little there are anti-nazi activists. Of course, you butchered them!
Joshua Campbell
>80% of Russians would not want to get sent to a gulag FTFY
Benjamin Turner
Russians won't admit it in public, because they're always afraid of the state and its brutality. In Russia you should be scared even of ordinary policemen, not to mention higher authorities. But Russians are able to "protest" against their government. Look at the bolsheviks
Angel Lopez
Russians are a nation of slaves, not fucking surprising. They're used to it. Russians must always have a big, strong man telling them what to do.
