The day after the elections in Russia, the big analysis begins: how will Vladimir Putin’s presidency continue? How are people in Russia doing in everyday life? krone.at Russia expert Angelika Eliseeva elaborates on the krone.tv interview.
Eliseeva, who has lived and worked in Moscow for a long time, assesses the situation in Russia as follows: “The dissatisfaction is of course very great and it is the courage of every person who, despite this repression and the long camp detention, takes to the streets and taking protest actions deserves a lot of praise. I take my hat off to each and every one of them!”
Arrested people would be taken into custody and there are already videos showing that a lady who poured dye liquid into a ballot box is already in custody and sitting in cages in the dock in the courtroom. Eliseeva: “The dock is surrounded by a cage in which prisoners are locked up.”
During her work as a journalist in Moscow, there were a few situations in which she had already developed a kind of paranoia. That’s why she followed a few rules. For example: “If you want to say something critical, put your smartphone in the microwave so that people can’t listen to you either.”
About the satisfaction of Russians with President Putin, the editor of krone.at says: “The Russian people are very dictatorial and simply find it useful to have a strong leader. And then they often do what he says.”
