But there they are, practically sweating from their own nobility, saying that people died near Rzhev so that we could defend their sovereignty. What sovereignty? Your sovereignty is over on Lake Como.”

1:04:33 “They’re ready to spend huge amounts of money on this. But when people read a paid post by Buzova or Borodina, they understand exactly what it is. It only reinforces the feeling that the whole thing is fake and rigged.”
1:06:06 🎥 Putin and Pamfilova on the results of the recent vote.

1:22:09 🎥 The coordinator of Navalny’s Khabarovsk headquarters talks about the detention of the regional governor.
1:26:15 “If he really was involved in these murders, we should see some evidence. But I’m more than certain that we’ll see absolutely no evidence except the words of some people who were pressured in a prison cell somewhere.”

1:44:38❗Ivan Safronov the spy.
1:45:10 🎥 Ivan Safronov’s detention.
1:46:00 “We demand an open and honest investigation. If he is a spy and a traitor, show the evidence. But if everything is secret instead of evidence, then this is not a real case—it’s a sham. At the same time, I think it’s dishonest and hypocritical when people say that ‘yet another journalist has been arrested.’ Ivan Safronov is Rogozin’s adviser and a PR man for Roscosmos.”
