Kirill Rogov: pure Stalinism
DelaShevchenko and Miftakhova, most likely, it is no coincidence that they go one after the other. It starts with "Network" and "New Greatness" and now plays multiple times
And again, pure Stalinism. This is a dummy bomb, a paintball weapon shown on TV as a combat one, network - necessarily network - cases that expose supposedly underground organizations. And torture, torture. Nkvdshnaya classic. We know her mainly in the parodic, completely streamlined performances of the late 1930s, and the early 30s were so much more thorough and creative.
The cases of Shevchenko and Miftakhov, most likely, do not follow one another by chance. There is a certain new confident hand, a new escalation. Some even, I would say, a new vision of how to develop this business further, and determination. It starts with "Network" and "New Greatness" and now plays multiple times. And in the eyes of the layman, all this should gradually develop into an overall picture.
And this, of course, is the concept of such "runaway" terror against the young. Young cultures and subcultures. It was decided to flash these environments with fears.
(Stalin, by the way, had a completely hybrid regime: first, under the leadership of Yezhov, a million people were shot, and then, under pressure from the public, Yezhov himself was shot. That is, everything was not so linear.)
