Putin and the communist party going to war was not on my bingo card for this year. Crazy watching this unfold as Putin has communist leaders arrested while they plan protests and call the sham election a fraud theins.ru/news/245270?ut…
This is so far from a strategic move by Putin and feels very personal. Long term I don’t see this being successful for him and his bandits
The rally did proceed while police tried to drown out protesters by chanting Vova we are with you and playing loud music. The protesters meanwhile held signs of fair elections. I’m sure this will be followed with more arrests of communist party members
Several dozen people who took part in the Communist Party rally on Pushkin Square went to Red Square and State Duma building chanting "Putin is a thief" "FSB is a shame of Russia" Very accurate

Wow! Now Putin’s regimes is detaining people from the communist party. Moscow City Duma deputy from the Communist Party, Yelena Yanchuk, just got arrested for participating in a rally the other day. Of course Putin’s thugs showed no warrants
She was detained in the train station at the orders the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Moscow Oleg Baranov
I said during election that something was very strange especially with the split of communists who normally don’t like United Russia but were never this vocal about fraud. Another arrest just took place

This is outrageous! Omg I’m fuming. @Google @Apple have removed Navalny’s app due to pressure from Putin.
Why does Putin’s criminal regime get away with this while Navalny who they tried to murder with poison was jailed for surviving? Sickening
With everything* domestically and abroad

Putin is self isolating after a few people he came in contact with tested positive for Covid-19 ria.ru/20210914/putin…
Meanwhile Russian media is also reporting that Czech president Zeman has been hospitalized. No other details
Putin’s spokesman Peskov said he tested negative but will remain in isolation. In his bunker? With the Kremlin it’s always something to keep an eye on

Just a reminder that propaganda of Republicans calling insurrectionists "political prisoners" started w Russia's speaker of State Duma Volodin who on January 19th called the insurrectionists "real political prisoner." The same Volodin who hosted Moscow mules Sen Johnson and co
Yet again Republicans and Putin’s thugs are on the same page and the Kremlin helps amplify the dangerous garbage propaganda they created
The FM Lavrov and Putin chimed in with the same political prisoner propaganda in May before the summit with Biden In June calling for their release

Tactic 2
Kremlin state media RT & others sow distrust ahead of German elections on social media. And spreading anti vaccine disinfo which is leading to division

Lucky for us Putins thuggish regime uses same exact tactics every election, every time. Yet there are no consequences
Russian playbook for Western elections
1. Hack/leak emails while falsifying some
2. Spread disinfo via social media
3. Find divisive issues and magnify causing unrest/protests
4.Do everything to discredit candidates/parties while helping their chosen candidate
