Timestamps from yesterday’s broadcast:
0:29 On air: Alexei Navalny, or, in the words of United Russia member Ernest Makarenko, “a man who must answer for his vile deeds.”

5:40 “I consider Vorontsov a political prisoner who has suffered for defending police officers and fighting for their labor rights,” Navalny says about the Police Ombudsman case.
8:06❗️They’re being crushed, but they’re telling the truth.
11:19 🎥Bykov versus Putin; NTV and Rossiya 1 against Bykov.
19:15 “It’s disgusting to watch: you were all fawning over him, and now that he has started speaking out against this government, and you understand that he’ll win on anti-government slogans, you drag in a bunch of hired journalists and run a nationwide campaign against him.”
26:01❓What do you think about merging the Nenets Autonomous Okrug and Arkhangelsk Region?
29:07❓What will happen when the “5 Steps for Russia” petition reaches 100,000 votes on ROI (the Russian Public Initiative portal)?
31:25❗️Putin, Sechin, and the genome.
39:59 “Seriously, Rosneft is a technology partner in genetics? This whole crowd is rubbing its hands with glee, because there will be uncontrolled but very safe embezzlement of funds there: wherever Putin’s daughter is involved, no one will go to jail.”
41:21❗️Soon snow will become “bad.”
41:37 “Ruslan Shaveddinov was taken to a nuclear test site, literally to the middle of nowhere: there’s a helicopter pad and nothing else, and Ruslan and several other unfortunates are clearing snow there.”

46:45❗️Everyone wants debates.

1:05:42❗️Putin has completed the first step.
1:07:07 🎥Putin on the 10,000-ruble payment per child.
1:13:14 “In Russia, to get what you were promised, you have to fight for it.”
1:15:22 “The entire internet is flooded with pay slips showing 500 rubles, 60 rubles, 200 rubles credited, even though they said all doctors working with COVID patients would be paid 80,000 rubles.”

1:33:10 ❗️Sir, please step aside for inspection.
1:33:10 “In this strange uncertainty, the authorities pushed through two major initiatives that will shape our lives for a long time to come unless we actively resist them: the new election law and new amendments to the law on police. The adoption of these amendments definitively turns Russia into a police state.”
1:35:21 🎥Police in Zelenodolsk forcibly remove a man without a mask from a bus.
1:49:39 Navalny on the Yakut shaman: “This is absolute lawlessness: he was detained and taken to a psychiatric hospital. Can these people be given new powers? Of course not.”
1:56:59❗️Are there still elections in Russia?
1:58:20 “This puts elections beyond any possibility of oversight. This is their answer to ‘Smart Voting’: they’re afraid we’ll outvote them.”

2:07:07❗️The battle over mortality figures.
2:11:20 “This manipulation is monstrously dangerous right now: they’re lying about mortality, and we need to know the real mortality figures to understand what to do with the healthcare system.”
2:15:54 🎥St. Petersburg Governor Beglov on the incidence of “community-acquired pneumonia.”
2:18:50 “During the constitutional vote, they’ll lie about how great our healthcare system is and claim that our mortality rate is 10 times lower than everyone else’s.”

2:22:19❓What will the premature lifting of quarantine lead to?
2:24:08❗️Mandatory mask rules.
2:30:19 “In every Russian region where mandatory mask rules have been introduced, the governor’s administration spends more on its annual self-promotion than it would cost to provide masks for every resident. And there is not a single region in our wealthy country where masks are given out for free.”
2:31:42 🎥Bashkortostan: a United Russia deputy opposes fines for not wearing masks.
2:35:59 🎥Beglov: there’s no need to give masks to visitors.
2:40:40❗️This is a unique project for us.
1:40:43 Navalny on the 400-million-ruble lighting project for the opera house in Novosibirsk: “Tear down the administration that organized all this. It’s an outright mockery.”
2:42:17❗️Attention, this is a hashtag.
2:46:25 “This whole United Russia crowd is a bunch of thieves and fools who lie and say absurd things. How long can all this stand on a foundation of lies? And will it be comfortable for us to live in it? Obviously not. So don’t stay silent, don’t be afraid — do something: sign something somewhere, spread the word, register for Smart Voting.”
