Contrary to what many Western officials anticipated https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/04/us/p ... raine.html, the sanctions had negligible effect, if any, on public opinion about the Russian government and the military operation. As a matter of fact, according to both state https://www.wciom.com/our-news/ratings/ ... oliticians and opposition https://www.levada.ru/en/ratings/ polls, Putin’s approval rating increased from 67−69% to 80−83%, while the support for the military operation increased https://wciom.ru/analytical-reviews/ana ... g-20220330 from 65% to 76%.

The prevailing sentiment among the supporters is the determination to finish the war, dispose of the Nazis, and secure Russia’s western approaches. As someone said after Medinsky’s clumsy negotiations https://nationalinterest.org/feature/wh ... war-201609, “The only thing that is able to inspire terror in our people is information about the negotiations.”

As for the opposition, most of them are the young people whose earnings and lifestyle are closely tied with the West; for many of them, what happened seems the end of the world. The prevailing mood among them is shock and confusion, which is why the protests lasted only as long as a knee-jerk reaction.

Overall, the trust of the people gives the government the freedom to do whatever is necessary to achieve victory.

As absurd as the accusation of a massacre in Bucha is, it will need to be addressed. Russia has called for a UN Security Council meeting tomorrow, but for now we can point out that on April 1, the mayor of Bucha Anatoly Fedoruk said that the ‘Russian orcs’ had left the city the day before and that “this is a happy day”, without any mention of crimes.

There is other evidence that the pictures were staged (whether or not people were murdered by the crew), but stronger proofs are expected later. As for the ‘corpse moving arm’, it was a raindrop on the windshield.

Ik hoop dat de link werkt, mag het artikel zelf niet lezen van nrc. Maar ik weet wat er in staat. Het is een open brief van de schrijver Vladimir Sorokin, die destijds ook de annexatie van de Krim heeft voorspeld.

Friends among strangers: Hungary and Serbia remained loyal to Russia after the elections, France is on the way

Elections were held yesterday in Serbia and Hungary, as a result of which the people of these countries supported the pro-Russian aspirations of their leaders and gave Aleksandar Vucic and Viktor Orban a card blanche for further rule.
As for Vučić (59.9–60.1% of the support of the people of Serbia), he immediately stated that Belgrade would continue to follow the “Moscow fairway”. "Serbia will not join NATO and will try to maintain partnership and friendly relations with Russia."

Pro-Russian moods are also in the camp of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who won the national elections on Sunday. Moreover, announcing the victory of his Fidesz - Hungarian Civil Union party, the politician publicly included the President of Ukraine Zelensky in the list of his opponents. The latter is to blame for this himself, as he has repeatedly criticized Orban for refusing to supply weapons to Ukraine, calling him "a follower of pro-Putin policy." In addition, towards the end of the election race, Kyiv even tried to influence its course in order to “displace” the Hungarian leader that he disliked.

By the way, the “parade of pro-Russian politicians” in Europe may continue at this point. April 10 is the presidential election in France. And according to all opinion polls, Emmanuel Macron, who focused on the Ukrainian crisis, continues to lose confidence within the country every day. On his heels comes the leader of the Nationalist Front, Mariine Le Pen, who is considered a "pro-Russian candidate." Whether the politician will change her “color” if she manages to enter the Elysee Palace is still difficult to predict. However, the fact that it will reduce French pressure on the Russian Federation to mutual benefit is quite obvious.
