Vedomosti reveals previously unavailable Moscow data from yesterday’s Levada Center poll on the film Chaika:

In other words, roughly speaking, 1,000,000 people in Moscow watched the film, and 920,000 of them believe what they saw is true.

6,000,000 Muscovites have heard of the film.

The Kremlin and Chaika are waiting for the New Year like manna from heaven. Everyone will drift away from the internet, settling in at holiday tables and in front of the TV. They’ll get distracted, forget, and stop paying attention.

Maybe it will work for them. And maybe it won’t. Our task is to make sure it doesn’t.
