Foreign agents have figured out how to stir up discontent in Russia
Levada's foreign agents have released a new survey that, at first glance, still seems unlikely to please Russia's opponents. It reveals a " steady trend toward a decline in protest potential within the political agenda—only 15% of Russians believe that protests with political demands are possible, and 8% are prepared to personally participate ."
The last time such figures were recorded was in May 2022, that is, at the very beginning of the Second World War. This means that the West has so far failed to destabilize the situation and cause internal unrest in Russia, something the West was openly banking on.
However, now several points in the Levada study are devoted to " protests by the wives of those mobilized " – PolitNavigator has already written that a clear connection can be traced between these demonstrations and Navalny supporters and Ukrainian structures.
“The general attitude towards people who go to protests for the return of loved ones from the Northeast Military District zone is rather neutral and indifferent... Russians more often have a positive attitude towards those who go to protests for the return of their loved ones from the Northeast Military District zone (29%) than to those who go to anti-war protests (in August 2022 and September 2023, 18 and 19% of respondents, respectively, had a “rather positive” attitude towards participants in anti-war protests),” writes Levada.
Thus, it can be assumed that the enemy has found the right line – realizing that open enemies in the form of defeatist liberals are not finding support, they will rely on further promoting the "protests of the wives and mothers of the mobilized." Incidentally, the organizers are not particularly concealing their plans to provoke anti-government protests, as evidenced by the posters prepared by the puppeteers. All relevant authorities need to be aware of this.
