Propagandist Anastasia Kashevarova complains that citizens are not receiving any explanations from the Kremlin, the government or the State Duma. “The exact opposite is happening: blockades, shutdowns, the thoughtless destruction of businesses, the barbaric slaughter of livestock, social injustice, and legal nihilism. A wall of mistrust and misunderstanding is growing between the people and the authorities.” The newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets published a column by political affairs columnist Dmitry Popov entitled “Russia is being rocked by banned leaflets: the battle against reality in this week’s news”. Popov also criticises the culling of livestock, the lack of “honest and open communication with the authorities”, and the blocking of mobile internet without explanation. Since the start of spring, the authorities in Siberia have been sending livestock to slaughter on a massive scale. Farmers say that officials are not showing owners the test results, and that the animals seized often appear healthy. According to one theory, the reason for these measures may not be pasteurellosis, but a more serious disease – foot-and-mouth disease. Dissatisfaction is also growing over the situation with Telegram. It is expected that the messaging app will be completely blocked in Russia in early April. Is it possible to get through to the authorities? We discuss this with Maxim Glikin, editor-in-chief of the ‘We Can Explain’ project, and political analyst Denis Grekov. 00:00 Dissatisfaction is growing in Russia over blockades and the slaughter of livestock 01:13 Victoria Boni’s protest 05:35 Maxim Glikin on the protest by celebrities 07:35 Maxim Glikin on the gulf between the authorities and the people 10:33 Maxim Glikin on the fear of riots and revolutions 13:08 Maxim Glikin on the wave of patriotism in Russia 16:58 Military correspondents against roadblocks and the culling of livestock 23:00 Denis Grekov on the anger of military correspondents 26:00 Denis Grekov on the protests of 29 March Fri, 15 May 2026 19:19:23 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://video.echelon.pl https://video.echelon.pl/client/assets/images/icons/icon-512x512.png https://video.echelon.pl/videos/watch/1d327466-b40e-49cc-82ba-f21d13a1db98 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://video.echelon.pl/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
