20:02 ❗️The erosion of spiritual and moral values.
26:33 “Why do all these cases over likes and everything else happen? Because at one point Putin and Patrushev said, ‘Political extremism is on the rise in Russia.’ And that means every cop in the country has to show that it’s ‘on the rise.’”

1:09:41 🎥 The acting governor of Kamchatka Krai asked for the regional parade to be postponed because of the coronavirus.
1:12:22 “If even governors are coming out and saying, ‘We don’t need a parade because we’re afraid to hold one,’ then why the hell are they holding one in Moscow, why the hell are they holding one in St. Petersburg?”

1:26:26 “Want to vote against it? That strategy seems naive to me, even a little ridiculous. But if that’s what you feel is right, then go and vote against it. The main thing is not to recognize it as legitimate. Because the whole thing is fake.”
1:28:05 🎥 “And you come too, kitty”: a campaign video urging people to turn out for the constitutional amendments vote.
1:30:26 “When you explain it to people, they understand very well. But when it’s just all this nonsense — ‘We have to go vote because the authorities will see it!’ — they won’t see anything. This vote is set up in such a way that there’s no chance of controlling anything at all.”
1:33:35 🎥 Economist Konstantin Sonin: “To seriously discuss the idea that this vote decides anything is ridiculous.”
1:36:48 🎥 Economist Sergei Guriev: “The very fact that this vote is being held on July 1 shows the authorities’ desire to schedule it as quickly as possible and separate it in time from the single voting day, in order to create more opportunities for falsification.”

1:50:26 🎥 Why the Russian authorities dislike Mikhail Efremov: a performance from the “Citizen Poet” project.
