        <title>Russian actor Nikita Kukushkin: "Let's drop the 'good tsar, bad boyars' nonsense"</title>

        <description>Among many other apologies for the failures of their state Russians have one that beats any records of stupidity: "good tsar, bad boyars". The idea behind it is that the tsar has good intentions, but it's the corrupt boyars (princes) who stop information about all the issues reaching him. This trope is also very popular in contemporary Russian genre of "appeals to Putin" where residents of some godforsaken record video appeals to Putin himself to fix a broken playground, road, heating etc, because the corrupt local authorities do none of these and the only rational explanation in the politically correct framework is that it's because... Putin doesn't know  about all the neglect and injustice. As one of few, Russian actor Nikita Kukushkin says Putin created a broken system for 26 years and called the start of the full-scale invasion "the largest tragedy in the history of modern Russia." He says: "Let's be honest, we've had Putin in power for 26 years. If the truth doesn't reach him for decades, it's not a mistake, it's a system." This is much better than the miserable Victoria Boni, who didn't even mention the war, while Kukushkin mentions it explicitly. It's unlikely that Dmitry Peskov will respond to Kukushkin, as he did to Boni, even to say "we're working on it".</description>
