Timestamps from yesterday’s livestream:
0:52 Live: Alexei Navalny, or “the man who trained to humiliate people” (according to Kremlin media).
1:18 The new “Anti-Corruption” collection in Navalny’s merch store: https://shop.navalny.com
2:34❗️“Stability” is no longer in fashion.
8:05 “Discontent is spreading across the entire country, across all age groups. In the near future, this will dramatically change the landscape of political and opposition struggle. That, by the way, is one of the reasons why ‘Smart Voting’ succeeded.”
8:44❗️Why do they want change?
11:44 🎥 The Tsar and serf medicine. Cockroaches and racketeering in the Olympic capital: https://youtu.be/n1MUtV9he50
16:52 “People see that Putin’s residence keeps expanding, traffic jams keep getting worse, road closures keep increasing, there are more and more black cars, while the hospital still has no medicine and never did.”
18:29❗️Comrade Putin, you are a great scholar.
19:32 “When Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev had sat in power that many years — and Putin has been in power longer than Brezhnev — he ended up senile. And dear Vladimir Vladimirovich is heading in the same direction.”
20:13 🎥 Who is taking part in the conspiracy against the Russian language (in the Russian president’s view).
21:24 “The main enemies of the Russian language are Russian officials and their hostile attitude toward the Russian language.”
21:52 Putin proposed replacing Wikipedia with a digital version of the Great Russian Encyclopedia.
25:24 “In Putin’s Russia, besides wanting to create some kind of ideological tool, they also, of course, want to steal money. They’ve already allocated 1.7 billion rubles for this new Great Russian Encyclopedia!”
26:23 “Putin has never been on Wikipedia; he doesn’t know what it is. The man has never used the internet, he doesn’t understand a damn thing about it, and he works surrounded by the same kind of clueless fools. This man is trying to break something he didn’t even create.”
27:47❓Will the new imitation opposition party controlled by the Kremlin actually be able to interest Russians? What will replace the failed United Russia party?
30:18❓When will new videos appear on Navalny’s main channel?
31:11❗️Contributing factors: video games vs. rape.
33:00 🎥 “This internet needs to be shut down”: a comment by the head of the Soldiers’ Mothers Committee on the case of Ramil Shamsutdinov, who shot fellow servicemen over dedovshchina (violent hazing in the military).
35:30 “If it is truly established that someone there was actually raped or humiliated, that should be a scandal on a nationwide scale. How can people send their children into an army where everyone responsible for that has not been thrown in prison?”
36:07 “Both Shoigu and Putin are obsessively pushing their idiotic conscript army. We should have a professional army. Neither Shoigu nor Putin is doing anything to eradicate dedovshchina (violent hazing in the military).”
37:20❓Why open casino zones in Crimea?
39:09❗️How do you become a high-profile lawmaker?
40:53 🎥 Saratov Regional Duma deputy Nikolai Bondarenko spoke through a megaphone after his microphone was turned off during a session.
43:30 “A lawmaker exists to speak out on political issues in support of their voters.”
44:14❗️What should the Kremlin do about Svetov?
51:52 “Mikhail Svetov travels around the country, Mikhail Svetov speaks publicly, and the Kremlin is furious. Because they believe a person can only become well-known if they themselves make it happen.”
52:33 🎥 Mikhail Svetov’s speech at a rally for internet freedom.
54:27 🎥 Mikhail Svetov’s house was surrounded by unidentified people.
55:57 “I am not interested in Mikhail Svetov’s private life, but first, he definitely did not break any laws, and second, no post from 2012 can serve as grounds for searches, detentions, and overnight interrogation.”
59:33 “Dmitry Peskov started dating his first wife when she was 14. I officially demand that the Investigative Committee, the prosecutor’s office, and the Kremlin conduct a urological examination of Dmitry Peskov.”
1:01:26❗️Apple is getting nervous.
1:01:48 “Our authorities are constantly fighting against us, in every possible way. They are not just trying to stop us from going to rallies or demanding free elections; every single day they systematically do something to make our lives worse, more expensive, and less convenient.”
1:04:32 🎥 Our new imaginary smartphone from 2013.
1:06:10❗️What’s the big deal? You just have to apologize.
1:07:13 🎥 A relative of Ramzan Kadyrov tortured a woman with a stun gun.
1:10:13 🎥 Video of the detention in Ingushetia of the son of a United Russia deputy, who was caught with a kilogram of heroin.
1:12:47 “Absolute impunity and double standards when it comes to the top of the power pyramid.”
1:13:38❗️Either a governor or a terrorist.
1:14:10 🎥 Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov called for killing those who “insult honor” on the internet.
1:15:54 “These statements by Kadyrov are a one-hundred-percent copy of statements made by leaders of the Islamic State, actual terrorists.”
1:18:37 🎥 How people apologize to Kadyrov for posts on the internet.
1:19:44 “They have become so brazen that they are now basically saying openly to everyone: ‘If you criticize us in Instagram comments, we will find you and kill you.’”
1:20:51 The Kremlin showed no interest in Kadyrov’s statements about how to respond to insults to honor.
1:22:37 “There is no governance at all. The country is in total failure on every front. They can do nothing except their usual filth: intimidation, stun guns, criminal cases, cheap smears. Our task is to fight them. We are going to destroy United Russia organizationally and politically, and we must do it every day. Otherwise, we will spend our whole lives in a country where this kind of nightmare is happening.”
