Timestamps from yesterday's broadcast.
0:32 On air: Alexei Navalny, or “the man who risks losing his main source of funding,” as Kremlin-controlled media called him this week.
1:36❗️A special social status.
3:30 “If you don’t make a fuss, don’t go to rallies, don’t write open letters—in other words, if you don’t do the things the authorities really dislike—they’ll build a sand quarry next to your home.”
6:16❗️For outstanding service.
10:25 Navalny on Putin and the Order of Honor awarded to Maria Zakharova: “We can see Putin rapidly turning into Brezhnev (the long-serving Soviet leader known for stagnation and medal-giving). And there’s nothing new about it: every authoritarian leader who sat on his throne for decades eventually reached the stage where he started handing out medals to everyone.”
12:01❗️The vertical of power is tilting.
14:17 “For some unclear reason, they want to take a gigantic territory and merge it into a single federal subject. The main question is: why? Things are already hard enough to govern as they are.”
17:21❓Alexei, could you comment on the latest 1 million ruble lawsuit from the National Guard (Rosgvardiya)? When will they finally stop?
21:03❗️Excuse me, are you definitely a doctor?
21:49 “If you are the chief physician of a Moscow hospital, can you really think in terms like, ‘Everything that is meant to happen to us is written in the Book of Fate’? It sounds insane, but this is what the official spokesperson on coronavirus is telling us.”
22:20 🎥 Remarkable statements by Dr. Myasnikov.
29:07❓Is Rosneft’s lawsuit against RBC a challenge to the Russian media, or what are they trying to achieve with it?
35:45❗️Soon we’ll be living forever.
36:13 🎥Leonid Volkov: “Russia’s official coronavirus statistics are lying.”
39:00❓Please comment on the situation with Pozdnyakov.
41:51❓The “5 Steps for Russia” petition has reached 100,000 signatures. Is it worth continuing to collect signatures on Change.org and on VKontakte?
43:44❗️Doctors and Vladimir Promisedkin.
44:32 “Right now we are seeing one of the highest levels of protest activity: an unprecedented confrontation between the authorities and 3.5 million Russian medical workers.”
54:17 🎥Appeals from medical workers who did not receive the payments promised by Putin.
1:10:07 “What they fear most is that you will tank their approval ratings. There’s a sea of money in the budget, but they’ll only give it to those who fight for it.”
1:15:41❗️A nightmare in Chechnya and Dagestan.
1:17:00 “In Dagestan, despite the fact that the region has received enormous sums of money in recent years, everything has been stolen, the healthcare system has been destroyed. And now a catastrophe is unfolding there, and the lies about it are monstrous.”
1:23:33 🎥TV Rain’s report on the pandemic in Dagestan.
1:35:37 “Where did the colossal sums allocated to Chechnya go? We can send entire lines of Bentleys driving through Chechnya, but there isn’t a single hospital—there’s nothing.”
1:36:49 🎥Chechen medical workers have no protective equipment.
1:43:10 “When you conceal mortality figures, you are committing a crime against your own people and making it harder to fight viruses like this in the future.”
1:46:20❗️They didn’t expect people to need money.
1:49:13 🎥Labor Minister Kotyakov did not expect that people with children would need 10,000 rubles so badly.
1:51:30 “They sit there for decades and become dollar millionaires. They genuinely think the right thing to do is steal and buy a yacht, rather than give people 10,000 rubles each.”
1:54:50❗️The chaos continues.
1:59:40 “The main—and only—thing the authorities are thinking about right now is how to stage a fake referendum on June 24. Because Putin, realizing that his ratings are falling, wants to hold the vote immediately. The old man is throwing a tantrum.”
2:00:20❗️Building codes and wheezing.
2:01:33 “He’s been in power for 20 years and still says, ‘We need to clean things up and restore order.’”
2:08:15❗️Speaker Volodin registered an apartment jointly with his young wife.
2:08:35 “They sit in their government posts—and somehow the mother has an apartment from who-knows-where, and then the young wife has one too.”
2:14:17❗️“Fotiniya” on Avito.
2:14:57 🎥A clip from the film He Is Not Dimon to You about Medvedev’s yacht: https://youtu.be/qrwlk7_GF9g
2:17:21 “Medvedev’s yacht, Fotiniya-1, was sold to Nikolai Shamalov—Putin’s friend and relative by marriage. But apparently he didn’t like the yacht that much, and now he’s trying to sell it. Guess where? On Avito.”
2:19:27❗️Happy soldiers in temporary cabins.
2:20:04 🎥A Channel One segment about the “happy” military personnel who received homes in the Naro-Fominsk district.
2:20:48 “They’re housing military personnel in trailers like migrant laborers at a construction site, and telling everyone it’s comfortable accommodation. It’s shameful and humiliating.”
2:25:15❗️How Chaika persuaded the Swiss prosecutor.
2:27:06 🎥A clip from the ACF film Chaika: https://youtu.be/eXYQbgvzxdM
2:31:03 “The Russian mafia set up a system for bribing Swiss prosecutors.”
2:36:36❗️Vladimir Vladimirovich, we don’t need any money.
2:37:14 🎥What financial aid from United Russia looks like.
2:38:25“This is a perfect metaphor for what is happening in Russia, when instead of our share in the national economy we get ‘a handful of bagel rings and tea bags.’ We should not put up with this.”
