Russia under Putin: Why is the opposition disappearing? | To the Point
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2024
- Thousands have been arrested on charges of treason. And despite all possible western sanctions, the Russian economy is still thriving. If anything has gone bankrupt, it is the democracy in the country.
Prominent critics of the regime such as Vladimir Kara-Mursá and Alexei Nawalny have been sentenced to long prison terms. Others have gone into exile.
Those speaking against the war are perceived as enemies of the state, spies and traitors. Therefore, on To The Point we ask: Russia under Putin - Why is the opposition disappearing?

Of course your approval rating will go up when you tell your people that you either approve or go to jail.
Никто не отправит тебя в тюрьму, если ты просто против Путина. Пример тому - коммунисты.

People keep falling out of windows!

haha.
I live in the states and last year began corresponding with a Siberian woman I met through her youtube channel. She had a small freelance business as a translator with several western companies. When the sanctions began all but one of those companies left Russia, leaving her with almost no income. So for her, the sanctions have gutted her income. She fled Russia in March 2022 and somehow survives with donations from her subscribers and supporters.
Democracy? It never was in russia.
russians never stopped bing serfs
Very strong democracy, you can vote for anyone you want, as long as they are currently alive...
Is there democracy in France and Israel? As recent events show)).
There was an aim for democracy in russia for a few weeks after the tsar forfitted power. Then the commies crushed it.
@@jeckjeck3119 Well, yes, but they did it with their faces on the asphalt. Or are the democratic truncheons much softer?😀
Hard to know but authoritarian regimes always look strong until they just fall apart. East Germany and Soviet Union both I viewed with that thought. It is so hard to know
They was, CIA work hard decade, to collapse their economy.But now Biden America barely know, what they will do tomorrow and what gender they will be. :)
This is true
Like The Ceausescu’s executed on Christmas Day by their own Generals. It’s in the post for Putin, whenever it arrives it’ll be a shock
New authoritarian regime is Macron and Biden. They will blow up soon
The Soviet Union is like a cancer. You can't cure it, you can only put it in remission and hope it does not come back. Sadly, present day Russia is that cancer in relapse. Even if Putin goes and Russia breaks up the cancer still remains a threat to it's people and the rest of the world.
I think there must be a differentiation between the domestic economy that was the focus of this discussion, which has been cushioned by very clever management by the Russian Reserve Bank, and by local entrepreneurs exploiting gaps in the market caused by foreign withdrawals, and the macro economy - the income of the country as whole.
There the situation is very different: economists suggest that the biting of sanctions levied by the US and EU against gas and fossil fuels is degrading that economy and will really come home to bite in the coming year. Certainly, countries like India, Iran and China have been buying oil, but at prices that essentially do not return a profit to Russia, and Russia cannot export significant quantities of gas elsewhere because there are no pipelines to do so. India is reaching its capacity for storage so that will reduce even more.
Even internally, there is evidence that Russia is unable to provide parts for some of its technology - e.g. cars without advanced electronics systems that are being sold without those features or with degraded local equivalents. Russia's civilian air fleet is degrading as aircraft that need maintenance are not getting spares from the OEMs. Even Russian military equipment capacity is degrading as the country's capacity to manufacture material is insufficient to meet the losses - and those items in particular will have a direct impact on the country's ability to wage war eventually.
Keep telling yourself that if it lets you sleep well at night lmao. Russian soldiers push further into Ukraine on a daily basis with rusty shovels (according to western news outlets hahaha).
come on they have huge reserves of laundered cash helped by Deutschbank and others
@@monumentaltravel3745 The people of Russia do not stand with their leadership. They are used to being subjects of tyranny. They still effectively live under complete subjugation and to compound the effect, anyone with dissension opinions have gone underground or completely left the country at this point.
@Dana Rzechula a lot have been frozen now
I think you will find sanction avoidance measures in full swing....China and others are giving Russia plenty of 'sanctioned' components. They are simply copyright breaching anything that has left the country...as they can't be held accountable like a western nation. Eventually when things start to bite, Putin will gradually strip the people of luxuries / social services etc....that will be gradual and the lemmings in Russia will go along with it until they are naked and destitute.... but that will be a long time away....
Really? I think the poisoning, imprisoning, and falling out of windows may have something to do with it.
Uhhh, at least the poisoning and imprisoning was discussed quite a bit in this video. - Did you not watch it? -
It is one thing to have the general public have a reserved opinion of a war happening across the world eg. USA before pearl harbour during WW2. But it is a whole other thing to have that behaviour within a country that has instigated a war.
It is genuinely terrifying because that is the exact situation that allowed Germany to commit heinous atrocities during WW2. I think we have only scratched the surface of identifying what Putin is willing to do to get his way.
There is a huge difference between what pootin is willing to do and what he is ABLE to do. I believe that is where the Western/Ukrainian Alliance has the decisive advantage over pootin's forces in this war.
@@derekd1510 under putler's regime theyre bombing civilians, raping women, decapitating POWs, how much worse can it get? Quite a bit, but it's already bad, he's already ABLE to do greatly heinous things. russia is a terrorist country now
Fruitful discussion. Thanks 👍
I don’t understand how in one segment DW will describe the Russian economy as thriving and in others talk about it like it’s a backwater
Money does not equal class.
How, How - Somehow...
Yes Garrett ridiculous
Do not trust a number that was calculated by a russian and if it is a ukrainian, still take it with a bit of salt. Both sides want to show themselves in a good light to say the least. Still this is probably the best opportunity to disarm russia, they are willing to lose a lot over this unnecessary conflict 💀
It's a war, both sides are going to lie. Difference, Russia has been lying about its economy since 1945.
Protesting involves going to prison for a long time. I don't understand why anyone would want to go to prison for nothing.
Opposition in Ukraine also disappeared.
What is the point??
No it did not Petro Poroshenko had an interview at the start of the war in military gear where he said "I stand by our president, we are united as a country now but after the war we will be opponents again"
Ukraine has had 2 changes of government since russia first invaded in 2014. Russia remains a dictatorship
@@sofiajohansson8537 except that Porosheno and Zelenski have the same boss. The actual opposition is gone. Even negotiators who knew too much have been whacked.
I certainly wouldn’t say their economy is thriving. Look at the price of their oil and the strength of the rouble. Also, look at the real estate prices and increasing deficit
They mean thriving by comparison to the West's economies 😄
Their economy is thriving compared to the economy of sanctions imposers.
@@missesCarmenB in 2022, Russian economy shrunk, while western economies grew.
@@missesCarmenB I don't care how bad European economies are doing. As long as individuals aren't going to prison for 25 years for disagreeing with their government.

Putin's inner circle is rock-solid, making a coup or public uprising nigh impossible.
NGL smart but also not good at the same time.
That's what Adolf's inner circle thought too.
Not just inner circle. African people and also Chinese and Indian and of course Russian people all bow 🙇♂️ down to him like slaves. They have no self respect or ability to use their own brains. They love sniffing Putin’s and Xi Jinpings farts on their faces.

@@silviadunderdale9400 The Putin troll farm loser must write exactly what his Master wants to see.
What a load of nonsense from so called professionals
In Russia (just as in China and India) most people care a lot more about the "greatness" of their country than about their freedom and quality of life. To a lesser extent, this applies to the USA too.
this is actually pretty true
Russian economy thriving?! wow, thats some bs right there
Hello from Russia.
Elites in Western countries steal too much. The Russians have driven many thieves out of the country. It has become much better, I have a lot of work a day, but I have more money. Prices have risen, but not very much. Utilities, I pay $120 for a 4-room apartment. The shops are full of goods, the shortage is very small. In 2022, more than 800 new import substitution plants were built. There are a lot of new expressways here, I'm driving south for 8 hours, 1200 km.
Saint-Petersburg. Russia.
American prisons are a nightmare, I can’t imagine how Russian prisons are. 1984 alive and well in Russia in 2023.
They never had an opposition.
Once the KGB got into the kremlin Russia's fate was sealed
@@zelenskyy-the-blackmailerh5920 I am not Russian and neither you I guess, Putin is 20 years that is on charge of that country. In UK is a little different, don’t you think?
Ahaha Russian trolls in the comments don't know that they already got conscription notices :)
Get back to Ukraine. They need you there on front-lines.
Are we comparing opposition in Russia vs Ukraine now? 😂
Russia had a deficit last year and burned over 40 billion dollars this year already. Right now they mobilizise everything in the piggybank, but it can't last. But looking at North Korea and Venezuela, Russia still can go on like this for a very long time, even when they get a lot poorer and poorer. Sad but true. Well, they want it that way.
Yep that's what I think..... There is not likely to be a coup...so .....Putin can hang on for a long long time
This is the greatest program I love watching it
DW should really be proud of their english language programming. I tried to imagine how the networks in the states would handle a segment like this, but I'm already getting a headache from all of the yelling and motion graphics
USA news media isn't bad at all.. Just that the parts reserved for speech are super short. The average amount of words a guest on the news can say is.. I'd guess about 100 in the USA, and maybe 200 on DW? Something in that ballpark.
The economy is thriving? Really? That makes no sense they've lost millions of young workers and companies had to put people on paid leave because they can't produce stuff... thriving?!!
Russtatts numbers after they changes geo 3 times after the war start.
The all guests are amazing, thank you
@@priapulidawait until India starts to give the ruskies territories to set up bases. After that it's done. They will treat everyone like dogs. ruskies think they are the only people who matter. Just look at every country they "liberated".
Because in dictatorship there is nothing like oposition or voting 🤣
Because with each successful kill; Putler gains loyalty and becomes more powerful to to it again.
I smell a bot
You don't gain loyalty by killing people. You destroy society and have no order. You have a criminal order that no one trust. China has a huge problem with invention. Their citizens are thieves because they know that as a person they have no rights. Put in Trash miss judged NATO because he doesn't understand no one want a society like he has created. No one wants a killer as their leader. It doesn't make loyality. You will see.
Remove opposition and no one will be left to disapprove in the polls
Ukraine did that too though. I heard literally all opposition parties have been literally banned.
Ukraine appears to have outlawed opposition parties.
Hypocrisy seems to be a one eyed critter?
Reporters should stop talking about Russian numbers like they're facts. They're lies, ofc they are.
I would rather talk about the way the opposition in Germany is treated.
Lol you mad bro
Ask the CDU/CSU then. They will tell you.
The opposition sits in the Bundestag, not in prisons! Spot the difference, NeoN or Comrade or both?
Of course, closing your eyes to a dictatorial regime, this would please you
@@gluteusmaximus1657 Plenty are imprisoned. Remember Ballweg? AFD's youth organisation is persecuted by the authorities!
It is shameful, when some journalists are constantly saying about thriving Russia, while most of reasonable economists or journalists knows perfectly that russian economy is in collapsing phase since the sanctions begins to work.
It is principle, that without export or import economy will fail, and domestic economy is not enough. Period.
For Russia - and it is regime and its people choice - this is the beginning of the end.
Approval rate in Russia? Are you joking?
The source they use are third-party organizations that are not based inside Russia
Statista, the org. who conducts the approval rating polls is not a Russian organization. It is based in Hamburg, with offices in London, New York, Paris, Singapore, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Berlin, Vienna, Zurich, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Warsaw, Milan, Madrid, India, and Melbourne. They are widely regarded as a trust-worthy organization.
@@uknwarrior7980 Perhaps. But if someone walks up to you on the streets of Moscow, pretends to be from an independent organization and asks you what you think of Putin - what would you answer?
And that is the fact. So what are you trying to say?
And what u expect, Russians to wish be like Biden/Trump America or like this Brussell un elected circus?
110%

Maybe opposition is disappearing because most of the people who are protesting left Russia in a defiane stance against the military call up 😂😂
What an intelligent guest Ksenia Krimer! She unlike many people in the West clearly understands the situation. Russia is a criminal state where crimes became a part of everyday life, an accepted norm by the society!
"The Russian economy is still thriving"? Is this REALLY from DW? If so, its journalistic standards are plummeting!
The Russian economy is in tatters…
What? DW just said what you didn't like?
Lorl his hurt that their sanctions doesn't work😂😂😂😂
@@ebiekem No. DW just ignored the evidence and got it wrong. The Russian economy is clearly NOT thriving, It hasn't collapsed because it still has some of a large fund of saved oil money behind it, but it is clearly not "thriving" and the savings won't last forever.
The answer is in the question 😅
Don’t they jump out of high rise windows
Saying that the sanctions are not working and then showing a piece about clothing is highly misleading. All those Western brands leaving Russia were not even part of any sanction package.
In reality, the sanctions have been highly effective. Russia's oil/gas revenues dropped some 40-50%. The government's budget deficit is through the roof. The automotive industry is reeling. It's been reduced to assembling Chinese cars. Russia's commercial air fleet took a massive hit. The military industry faces a potential loos of most of its important clients because is failing to deliver on its promises and the equipment is not performing all that great.
and Putin will stay in power, his regime will become more draconian, Russians standard of living will decline...and Russian people will take it all with a smile..... Putin will still have his billions and although he will hate not being able to strut the world stage, he will entrench his domestic power tenfold.....
Thank you for this interview!🇺🇦🇺🇸💙💛❇️🌻
I propose the west to establish an opposition party to oppose Putin in Russia, may be that would calm and heal their wounds with respect to Russia.
😂😂😂😂😂
I propose freedom in Russia, instead of Russia being a Neo-Fascist state.
The west doesn't really want anything to do with Russia anymore. They must fix their own problems. We will just monitor.
Everyone just wants Russia to leave Ukraine alone and follow international laws and respect UN International charters.
Perhaps because they can't fly? Or is it just the landing part?
Lose the music, DW. Really don’t need it and it’s directing.
Correction, the economy in Russia definitely is not thriving! Anyone who has investigated the reality on the ground by speaking with local people, rising prices, infrastructure breaking down, losses in gas and oil revenue etc..
They said the same thing a year ago.......they still seem to be chugging along fine. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for them to implode...it will take a long time...(Although personally I wish they would take a leaf from their 1917 forebears and revolt)
... and the rest of the world doesn't act to stop this kind of crime against freedom ...
25 years and window issues has an effect.
Too many open windows in Russia to mount an actual opposition.
Most of the Opposition are being taken out or jumping out a Window.
The answer to the title is easy, windows (defenestration) for some and a 15 year hard labor sentence for others for doing so.
When a totalitarian govt (an individual) is SOOO afraid of anyone disagreeing with him that he has to take measures like that, it is really hard not to laugh at him. What a fool Pootler is, an utterly frightened little child, six inch lifts (I'm not exaggerating, look at the backs of them) and all.

Educational to me esp. about what it is like to be a prisoner in russia and about prison system of russia. The last question on the program and the replies to it is interesting.
I have an individual in mid 20s in moscow to message with who has got resigned to the current situation over there, numb to hearing mother land, father land blah-blah-blah stuff as well as to the subject of the war itself as if to make it something that has nothing to do with the person's life.
Many orligarchs have long recognized this and want to live permanently in the "hostile" West or elsewhere abroad.
It is very good all opposition went out from Russia because now clean in Russia.
Cleaning the out of 700,000 young talented Russians so far. Not just avoiding the war , the Russian Brain Drain was on before the war.

Half century Palestina ocuppied. They were very brave defnding their lands as well, but I think if chinese or russians would provide intel and weaponry, they will suffer even more as ukranians does. As US draw a red line when USSR put missiles in Cuba in 1962 (as response to US missiles in Turkey in 1957) Rusia draw a red line in Ukrania, as he put others in Baltics and rest of countries absoverd by NATO. It is impossible RUssia would allow have their european borders fully in planes without natural borders. it is impossible they will give up their only militar harbour that doesnt freeze in winter. We are just using ukranians as meet shield.
The music played on this video is extremely annoying. Is it a documentary or a dance party?
DW, you invite wrong people. Better ask Arkadiy Babchenko to join such discussion 🙂
I really feel for the Russian people who, essentially, have never tasted freedom.
They did. But didn't like it very much. They were so used to Soviet times. When Russian federation was formed, Russia collapsed under the first Russian president. It was Putin who rebuilt Russian Federation disguised as Soviet Union Lite. It worked and people loved him until he went rogue because the success went into his head.
The segments at 12:00 and 15:00 were exceptional education for me in India.
If this is the level of _acceptance_ or _normalisation_ of criminal behaviour, then inevitably, Russia is looking at a very looong period of rejuvenation and renewal.
My heart cries for Russia, which is so beloved by Indians.

Is it really that difficult to understand?
Women who 1) Don't choose military service, and 2) will never be FORCED to fight a war because of their gender should shut their mouths and keep their opinions on war to themselves.
To understand Russia you have remove any bad faith and look at Russia objectively without any projections about your own expectations,The Russian people learnt a lot from the fall of the Soviet Union and they clearly understood why it failed,They reasons for it's failures are not far fetched given that it paved the way for it's own collapse once it declared war against culture, religion,faith, ideas and every other vital values that held societies together, given the Soviet union's multicultural nature one would have expected that the least thing it would have attacked to be culture,But they communist foolishly went against the cultures and traditions of the constituents nationalities which weakened the system incredibly,The Soviet Union did not collapse because of the United States or even western actions but rather as a result of its own internal problems, States can endure enormous pain and still remain intact but once the constituent parts
Looses faith in it no force in the world can save it.
That's an idiotic take. Soviet Union collapsed because it was trash and everyone knew it (that's why people were always fleeing out of the USSR and never into it) and it was imperialist. Georgia for example never wanted to join the USSR but it was forced to join by the red army, so obviously Georgians always wanted to separate.
@@boriskaraya wasn't Texas militarily taken from Mexico and have you asked the Puerto Rican and Hawaii people if the wanted to be independent of the United States, let's not go into these matters because in reality the west Also has it's own diets,But the truth still remains that the Soviet Union was largely responsible for it's own collapse contrary to what the west claims.
For people who are blind, I have to tell them that Ukraine Parlament passed a law that saying anything opposite to government will end up in jail.🖕
You probably refer to the controversial censorship law passed end of last year. To get things straight: that only allows the government to block media outlets, it does not put anyone in jail.
That's a blatant lie. I live in Ukraine. There is an active opposition and free media: you can read articles about the problems inside the government and accusations against top politicians (including Zelensky) every day on the pages of the main media.
And that supposed law is what? Just saying something doesn't make it so because it is uncheckable. Give us some details so we can check it out. For a start, when was it dated? Before or after the Russians invaded?
@@markaxworthy2508 wow Genius nice question, it's dated just three days ago and it's simple no one can't say anything harmful about dearest zelensky.

That the economy is still thriving is of course nonsense
*Russia🇷🇺 occupied oblast Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia, Kherson, Crimea.*
Russia must end occupation & keep peace!!!
Because Putin has not been honest with his country on what actually is happening.
Eventually this shadow spending to prop up the economy will run out, and the bottom will fall out for Putins regime.
The sad thing is that everyday Russians will pay the price for this, an economy in pieces once again. Of course this is only a minor plight compared to everyone else that has suffered or lost people in Ukraine from this unjust war.
We can only hope the Russian public will never allow this to happen again, unlike so many times before.

I hope that no one is too surprised that Putin has gone full-on autocrat. Starting a war and then blaming all problems on the victims of the war and their supporters is pretty much chapter one of "how to become a dictator". As is cracking down on any dissenting press and parties. Anyone who knows anything about Putin - knows this is just who he is and always was.

These are very good questions to ask of any political group that wants your support. It's sad to me that so many people don't seem to even stop to think about them, let alone ask them.
Very good question. The answer is a resounding NO. The current Western sentiment is depose Putin, replace him with Western style Liberal democratic leader, and then "decolonize" Russia by splitting it into many different micronations.
Anyone inside Russia with half a brain cell knows this would be a complete destruction of their living standards and economic opportunities. The living standards in Russia and all other post-USSR states was horrific in the 1990s because the economies that had once all been together were all of a sudden ripped apart. Some nations got richer, some got much much poorer. In some of the maps you see of a "decolonized" Russia every single state would become extremely poor with a total collapse of living standard, economy, and services.
Moreover, there is no currently viable candidate for this role. Navalny? He supported the annexation of Crimea and believes in a Russian-superstate. All this and he's the "most Western-liberal style leader" that Russia has currently. Putin has created a political structure of people either loyal to him or like-minded in terms of Russian national identity structure since 2000. There is no one who is known to the Russian public today that would be a popular Liberal candidate that the West would approve of. The West would have to literally pick a random practically unknown oligarch and make them their puppet in Russia because there is no other viable candidates.
