Propaganda news

Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Vladislav Surkov held a secret meeting with activists of pro-Kremlin organizations, Vedomosti writes. According to the publication, “Ours,” “Young Guard,” and “Locals” took part in the meeting, but Surkov conducted individual instructions with each of the organizations. A source in the Young Guard said that they talked about new tasks, the political situation and ideology. Youth curator in United Russia Andrei Turchak believes that the tasks of the party youth will not undergo big changes in the near future; federal elections will simply replace municipal ones. The leadership of the Young Guard clarifies that there are now three priorities: continuation of work on the street - but not anti-opposition actions, but, for example, the environment; creation of the "Factory of Meaning" - an intellectual center for open discussion; continuation of propaganda work in the regions. Another source close to the organization’s leadership believes that the meeting with Surkov was held to bring “activists out of post-election stagnation.”
According to experts, after the actual dissolution of Nashi in January 2008, which is usually called “restructuring,” Vladislav Surkov, and with him young pro-Kremlin activists of various stripes, began to noticeably lose their positions. So, even during the distribution of seats, Surkov did not receive the expected position of head of the Presidential Administration. Apparently, the current secret meetings are an attempt not only to console several confused leaders of youth movements, but also to “restructure”: after all, by all indications, now in the Kremlin they want to make something more decent and less frightening for the West from the “invading gopota”. This is also evidenced by a noticeable decrease in street activity.
There is another good news for fans of the Kremlin political technogols: Gleb Pavlovsky, despite the closure of the “Real Politics” program, is still in the ranks. The President of the Foundation for Effective Policy (FEP) retained the post of adviser to the administration of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. According to him, a number of responsible persons have already confirmed this information to him, in addition, Pavlovsky’s certificate for entering the Kremlin building is still valid. Meanwhile, according to the Vedomosti newspaper, Medvedev agreed to retain the existing portfolio of orders for FEP. Gleb Pavlovsky himself refused to comment on this information.
