Timestamps from yesterday’s broadcast:
0:26 On air: Alexei Navalny — or simply a “blogger,” as he was called on the Rossiya 1 TV channel.
1:38 ❗Who is profiting from the memory of our ancestors?
3:43 🎥St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly deputy Maxim Reznik introduces a bill on pensions for veterans.
6:09 🎥United Russia deputy Vasilyev speaks out against the bill.
8:06 “At every election, I will remind every United Russia member that they refused to raise veterans’ pensions — and I urge you to do exactly the same.”
10:11 ❗They need to be supported.
11:18 🎥A police transport van carrying the defendants in the “Network” case arrives at the courthouse for sentencing.
15:01 “Regardless of whether the shaman with a drum wanted to drive Putin away or was simply sitting at home in Yakutia watching TV, no one has the right to do this to him. No one has the right to subject a person to forced psychiatric confinement.”
20:01 🎥Patriarch Kirill congratulates viewers on the anniversary of the start of the war.
20:42 ❗The church and the tank.
21:30 “The leaders of the Russian Orthodox Church, like the leaders of the state, do not believe in God. This is one of the biggest deceptions — they are not believers at all, they are pagans.”
23:03 ❗Congratulations on the start of the war.
24:12 🎥A clip from a program on Rossiya 1 that showed a video by Alexei Navalny.
27:38 “When all the veterans were still alive, there were no parades. The parade in the pompous form we know today was purely a Yeltsin-era invention. His ratings started collapsing, so every year he poured huge amounts of money into the parade.”
30:20 🎥An “Immortal Regiment” campaign event aboard an airplane.
37:49❓“Why is everyone focusing on resetting Putin’s term limits when there are amendments that will shield him from responsibility for all the crimes he has committed?”
38:47 ❗Caught them out.
39:38 🎥How state employees are being pressured to vote: https://youtu.be/p3OG56tlTqs
41:04 🎥The deputy head of Moscow’s Department of Education tries to refute a video on Navalny LIVE.
41:58 “An official forensic audio examination confirmed that the voice in both videos belongs to Smirnitskaya. Now we have grounds to fire her and open a criminal case.”
46:46 🎥United Russia deputies go after deputy Bondarenko.
48:48 ❗United Russia members are embarrassed.
49:25 🎥A clip from a video by Navalny’s Ufa штаб.
52:12 “The moral of this story is that, from a PR standpoint, it is now advantageous to go after United Russia members and drive down both their ratings and Putin’s.”
52:38 ❗Putinfriends.
55:02 “Share these videos. Short one-minute clips really can become a powerful information tool. This is real action, and it is very much needed right now” — https://putinfriends.com
57:14❓“Alexei, could you comment on Putin’s article about the war?”
58:14❗The Atlas holding up the system.
59:40 🎥A TikTok campaign video urging people to vote on the amendments.
1:02:38 “You have no idea how many people there are who are not interested in politics at all, will fall for this nonsense, and go take part in the fake vote.”

1:07:41 🎥Boyarsky urges people to go vote.
1:08:17 “What an incredible level of hypocrisy. A person comes out and says, ‘I think about what kind of future awaits our children and grandchildren.’ Well, this is exactly the future that awaits them — the one you were just talking about: in our country, money for an operation has to be raised by recording a heartfelt appeal from a famous actor.”
1:09:32 🎥Putin is the Atlas holding up the whole country.
1:12:13 “What is wrong with the idea of transitions of power? Any state official comes in for a fixed term, and then someone else replaces them. That is what democracy is — that is how all normal developing countries are structured.”
1:15:15 “If Russia ever falls apart, Putin will be to blame. He created a system in which every transition leads to people stopping work, scattering, and the system collapsing.”
1:17:13❗Kind Putin’s address.
1:18:55 🎥Another address by Putin.
1:20:25 “Putin is now carrying out the second point of the ‘5 Steps for Russia’ program. In a watered-down form, but almost word for word. They would never have done this if you had not forced them to with your signatures and support.”
1:21:28 🎥Putin on additional payments of 10,000 rubles (about $140 at the time).
1:23:04 “That is precisely why, on the eve of resetting his term limits — even though they will of course falsify everything — Putin needs to sweeten up the audience, come out, and say something nice.”
1:23:47 🎥Putin on raising taxes for the wealthy.
1:26:10 “What happens next? They will collect an additional 60 billion rubles (about $850 million at the time). But will fundraising for children via text-message donations stop? Of course not. They will give this money to hospitals, and it will simply be stolen.”
1:32:47❗The reset has begun.
1:34:22 🎥A clip from the YouTube channel “To Be or”: what the red diagonal cross means.
1:41:25 “They are trying very hard to make the first day look at least somewhat like a real vote. And what happens first thing in the morning? Lobkov, a correspondent for TV Rain, and an observer from Golos both vote twice.”
