Survey results: "yes" to authoritarianism in Russi

Post by Vympel »

Link
According to the survey results, 42 per cent of the respondents believe it is necessary to curb the influence of Jews in certain spheres of public life; 60 per cent called for restrictions on the rights of people from the Caucasus to live in Russia; 51 per cent would like to see the Chinese evicted.
The reference to the eviction of the Chinese is almost certainly a reference to the Far East, where increasing numbers of Chinese cross the indefensible border to seek better opportunities than they have in Shithole, Nowhere, China. Relatively speaking.
Russia must be a state feared by the outside world, said 64 per cent of those who replied. Almost two-thirds are convinced that all the rich are thieves, although, the same amount dreams of becoming rich.

The chairman of the forum was clearly dismayed with those conclusions: the Russian public is just not ready - it seeks authoritarianism, and actively hails the strengthening of the authoritarian regime, he complained.
Scary.

The link you provided is being redirected to the main site, and I couldn't find the article. What kind of newspaper is this? It's being published on the 'net, in English, so it must be something big; reports on the election sounded biased, although the concerns of international observers were at least mentioned.

If we can trust this survey to be correct, it hints at a dark future for Russia. People seem to need a lot of education in politics, but I am very sceptical of the current administration providing it.

I think the heart of the problem is that like in post-ww1 Germany, the economic recession has made people look back with nostalgia at the communist times "when it was order".

I don't know where the Russia Journal originates, but damn, I can't find the article now.

Nothing surprising there. There is a reason I don't live there anymore, after all.

Have a very nice day.
