Oh dear...
Blin!
I just portrayed Putin as a gopnik.
That is VERY extreme.
Fortunately I don't live in Russia.
Otherwise I would be imprisoned in somewhere in north-east Siberia for 10 years...

The Russian attack on the USA continues ...
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45294192
Social media bots and Russian trolls have been spreading disinformation about vaccines on Twitter to create social discord and distribute malware, US researchers say.

Troll accounts that had attempted to influence the US election had also been tweeting about vaccines, a study says.

Vaccination was being used by trolls and sophisticated bots as a "wedge issue", said Mark Dredze from Johns Hopkins University.

"By playing both sides, they erode public trust in vaccination, exposing us all to the risk of infectious diseases," he said.

Even Bears Respect Putin, New Russian State TV Show Declares
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/04/arts/television/putin-tv-russia-bears.html
What is the best way to deal with dipping political ratings? If you are President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, it’s apparently to launch a TV show featuring clips of you picking berries in the wilderness, staring at goats and being interviewed by teenagers.
The show featured clips of Mr. Putin’s recent trip to the Tyva Republic in southern Siberia, picturing him hiking and taking a boat trip in which he looked at ibex — mountain goats — through binoculars. It praised Mr. Putin’s physical fitness and his lack of fear of even the wildest of animals.
“Imagine, bears aren’t idiots,” said Dmitry Peskov, Mr. Putin’s press secretary, a studio guest, when asked if trips into the mountains were dangerous. “If they see Putin, they will behave properly.”
In another section, Mr. Peskov praised Mr. Putin’s human touch. “Putin doesn’t only love children. He loves people in general,” he said. “He is a very humane person.”
The response to the show online has been scathing, at least among those who oppose Mr. Putin. On YouTube, the most liked comment mocks the show’s laudatory tone. “Walking in the woods — it’s dangerous, but the tigers and bears behaved decently, they bowed and kissed Putin’s hands, expressed supportive words,” it reads.

Reminds me of North Korea propaganda however many Russians oppose this silly idol portrait.

As with all his other 'portraits'. Putin needs to prove his Manhood.

all "men" who lack "manhood" have to prove they have what they obviously lack. Sometimes they hire a consigliere.

Aha:) Novichok poisoning lead to Obama!
https://twitter.com/JuliaDavisNews/status/1037748056668680192
#Russia's state TV:
Deputy of the Russian State Duma Andrey Klimov says he "brought the evidence" to the show. He shows off a book, claiming it proves that all trails in #Skripal poisoning lead to Obama [who else?🙄], who "paid for the Steele dossier from his personal fund."

Hehe:)
But why? The Novichok case is obvisously between Russia and the UK.
Not even Masha are certain about the US. Trump or Obama.
"The most likely source of this chemical attack are the countries that, since the end of the 1990s – and currently still – have been carrying out intense research on the substances from the 'Novichok' programme," Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
"These countries are Britain, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Sweden. The question should also be raised regarding the United States."

MFA spokesperson Zakharova described this as “god-level trolling” by UK authorities.

The Russians have now produced around 20 different versions of what had happened in the Novichok case.

Pussy Riot member Pyotr Verzilov, who rushed the field during the Football World Cup final to protest police brutality, has been hospitalised in critical condition in the toxicology department of a Moscow hospital. His relatives reportedly suspect poisoning.

At the same time RT pushes a piece on "the rise and fall" of radical anti-Kremlin performance artist Pyotr Pavlensky!
