00:46 On the air on Russia of the Future: Ruslan Shaveddinov and Ivan Zhdanov.
02:20❗News about political prisoners.
03:58 “It’s important to talk about political prisoners, because the Kremlin really wants to make an example of someone by jailing them and scaring everyone else, so that people forget about it and offer these people no support.”
07:38 “When we write ‘Free Lilia Chanysheva’ and post her photos, we want the information to spread, and we want it to make even more people angry.”
10:43 “He is absolutely upbeat and in good spirits. He understands everything perfectly well; he realizes the sentence will be harsh, that this is the reality we live in,” Ivan Zhdanov says about the case against his father, Yuri Zhdanov.
15:23❗Pressure on Memorial (the Russian human rights organization).
22:01 “It’s clear that the decision to shut down Memorial has, for the most part, already been made. But they couldn’t dig up anything serious at all, apart from this ‘foreign agent’ label that Memorial added to its website a little later.”
25:36 🎥 “The law is crap, and its enforcement is disgusting,” says lawyer Genri Reznik about the case to liquidate Memorial.
27:25 🎥 “Enemies of the people” again: how Memorial was allowed in the USSR and why they want to shut it down now: https://youtu.be/9RWIWrfromw

35:08❗Putin’s QR codes.
39:00 “The family of Chemezov, Putin’s former colleague and close friend, and his Rostec receive every tenth ruble out of the several hundred billion allocated to fight COVID. Corruption is everywhere, even when people’s lives are at stake.”
43:28 🎥 Putin on how we “defeated” the coronavirus.
47:08 “The state should do its job and explain why people should come and get vaccinated. There should be a proper public information campaign.”
53:41 “They’re introducing QR codes while brazenly shifting responsibility away from themselves, saying, ‘The regions proposed all this; it has nothing to do with us.’ It was exactly the same with the pension reform. The people disagree, and what does the government do? Nothing.”

01:23:20 Answers to questions.
01:26:00❗Roskomnadzor versus everyone.
01:28:25 “The best course of action for these companies would be not to open offices in Russia. It’s obvious what these offices are for — so the FSB has somewhere to come and someone to pressure. We remember the story of the Smart Voting app being removed.”

01:48:08 “The head of Russia’s Investigative Committee should be investigating criminal cases. Let Bastrykin tell us who killed Boris Nemtsov. Let him deal with the multi-billion-ruble corruption among the top ranks of United Russia.”
01:50:57❗The head of the Federal Penitentiary Service has been dismissed.

01:56:28 “Kalashnikov is the man through whom Putin put Alexei Navalny in prison. It was the Federal Penitentiary Service that put Navalny on the wanted list, it was the Federal Penitentiary Service that petitioned to replace his suspended sentence with a real prison term, and all of these decisions went through Kalashnikov.”

01:59:40 🎥 Lukashenko did not answer whether Merkel called him president.
