If you live in Russia, you probably often see similar posters at bus stops or advertising shields: a good message, fonts without serifs, smiling people, some of them even have colored hair. Some posters seem strange, but they are all prettier than advertising a contract for a contract. These posters advertise the program “National Projects of Russia”, which Putin launched on the day of his last inauguration in 2018 Prior to this, since 2005, a similar program “Priority National Projects of Russia” has been operating. Its goal was designated as the “development of” human capital. ” year.

Now Putin is preparing for the new inauguration and turned his message to the Federal Assembly into election campaigning. New national projects, pillars of the Putin program are called: “family”, “data economy”, “personnel”, “Russian youth” and “prolonged and active life” . And when Putin talked about them, he was not that he did not mention the war at all. But he mentioned her little. Why? And what did he talk about instead of the war?

“The political system is one of the supports of the country's sovereignty. We will continue to develop institutions of democracy, ” Putin said at the very beginning of the speech. This phrase can be ridiculed with tears in the eyes of at least due to the fact that the state did not allow Ekaterina Duntsova or Boris Nadezhdin to participate in the presidential race. It can be recalled that over the past five years more than 50 thousand Russians: have fallen under court for statements (not for actions), but for participation in politics at least four people Alexey Navalny, Rifat Dautov, Konstantin Shiring, Jamil Gafarov. Over the past year, they died in prison. But still, the opinion of the people is of certain importance in today's Russia.

We talk about Russia's military invasion of Ukraine, protests and repression. We believe that now, when dozens of media have closed or ceased to cover the war, access to independent information is more important than ever.

The authorities monitor a public request and try to respond to it. The Kremlin allocated about 30 million euros This is almost the same (about 3 billion rubles) as they allocated for the construction and overhaul of schools in the Murmansk region in 2024. On election sociological studies. Most of their results are intended for internal use and is not published, but independent organizations are also produced by research. So, in early February, the Russian Field group conducted a large election telephone survey . It turned out that the key request of Russians: OK is social justice, and the question of the “standard of living” is more important for the greater number of respondento: to, than the question of “sucker”.

National projects are not the only example of a reaction to a public request in the message. One of the most striking statements was actually a proposal to introduce progressive taxation: the rich will pay more, the poor - less. More than once during the message, Putin even spoke about the "autonomy of the regions." They will allegedly be more freely than before, to dispose of funds for the same national projects. Putin also addressed populist statements by a businessman: “Kam:“ People, including from the entrepreneurial environment - now I'm talking about them - they need to help. In this, the calling of the authorities is to help. ”

Comfortable life and war: why does the Kremlin are our loyalty?

“We are one big family, we together and therefore we will do everything as we want, plan and dream!” - said Putin closer to the final. But according to his idea, the "family" should fight. “The fulfillment of all the planned plans directly depends on our soldiers, volunteers and all who are in their zone,” one of the main messages of Putin’s speech retold through pro -government media.

However, the "family" does not really want to fight. Public support for aggression in Ukraine fluctuates According to three election polls by Russian Field. At the mark of about 50%. In order for the Russians: they still want to fight or at least do not interfere with the same part of the “family” that they are ready to kill and die, Putin has to bribe people with more attractive offers.

As a result, the Kremlin offers a dialogue and opportunities for an interesting, comfortable and promising life of those of Russians: Kam, who are ready to accept the war for granted and not protest. And also not to oppose repressions to those who still protested.

Overwhelm or investigate?

Yesterday, Putin spoke to the federal assembly, college: Zhanks and the Navalny family were preparing for the funeral of the politician, and I looked at Storis, like my friends who did not support the war, sang songs in a native (not Russian) language on the train to Adler. They went to the "World Youth Festival", 45 million euros to which power secretly allocated within the framework of the election campaign.

Once again, I watched people who do not support Putin got into his network. It turned out approximately as with “puffed”: the song in the Tatar from the forbidden group became part of the election campaign, because it was not possible to recognize the propaganda intentions of the customer in advance: the “words of the kid” failed. And once again I was amazed at how powerful, technologically equipped and inventively designed machine - this same “Putin regime”, which is so often customary to laugh, albeit horrified. How then to confront him?

“If you really want to defeat Putin, you should become innovators. You must stop being boring, ”Julia Navalny said the other day. I’m not sure that innovations in the form of corruption investigations, which Navalny then spoke, is enough here. But I join the message itself. Moreover, the investigator: it is time for us to become nits: to literally treat everything that happens with skepticism, to check everything around in touch with the authorities, to assume: how can it use our participation against us?

By the beginning of the third year of the war, I myself came to the conclusion that the Russian power cannot be “outwitted”, embedded in the system. Contacts with the state and close projects must be minimized. And in parallel to create your own systems, possibly secret; Self -realize among friends, possibly sacrificing ambitions; Work against the authorities, possibly sacrificing the standard of living.
