The problem for the authorities is that propaganda no longer works.
After fires, searches for missing children, garbage collection, forest protection, “our opponents are talkers” are not working.
After raising millions, RosPil is no longer working, “their projects are financed abroad.”
After masses of people came out as observers and saw the falsifications themselves, it is impossible to say “if you don’t like something, go to the polls.”
Once citizens have taken to the squares, they cannot be deceived by words about “there are only marginalized people there.”
The catastrophic ambush for the authorities is that people now know about everything not from TV - they DIRECTLY felt and saw it all.
