Games with Hitler

The media reported that the government had launched a campaign against Navalny, but Internet users were skeptical about its possible plans.

Dozhd's sources in the Kremlin said that the authorities can no longer ignore opposition leader Alexei Navalny, and they have decided to fight him with the help of propaganda.

According to the TV channel, the internal policy department will be responsible for discrediting the politician. This decision was allegedly made after anti-corruption rallies that took place throughout Russia on March 26. The Kremlin noted that after the FBK film about Dmitry Medvedev, fell the prime minister’s rating . Sources emphasized that because of the Kirovles case, the politician is unlikely to be able to take part in the 2018 presidential elections, but he will be able to “influence the mood of some voters.”

According to the TV channel, it was decided to fight Navalny using his own methods. Dozhd’s interlocutor clarified that for this purpose “clips, films and video games are made outsourced, which discredit Navalny.” According to Dozhd’s interlocutor, they are “fighting Navalny much like they are fighting Hitler.”

The comparison of Navalny with Hitler, as well as the likely methods of combating the oppositionist, has already caused a response on the Internet. Users of social networks sneer at the possible activity of the Kremlin and doubt the authorities’ victory “not on their own field.”

Opinions were also expressed that the Kremlin, instead of fighting the opposition, should deal with the fight against corruption and other problems in the country. Navalny himself agreed with this opinion on Twitter.
