The Real Russia. Today. Putin's big decision to make: Published: Thursday, March 31, 2022

Latest major developments in Russia and Ukraine

  • ⛔ No helping the émigrés: Russia's federal censor blocked "The Ark," a support group established by the Russian Anti-War Committee to assist emigrants fleeing the country because they condemn the invasion of Ukraine and "see no opportunity for themselves in Putin's Russia." According to records posted by the committee online, Roskomnadzor acted on orders from Russia's Attorney General.
  • 💸 Ratings are up, but ad revenue is way down: According to data shared by media analyst Ksenia Boletskaya, the state-run TV network Rossiya 24 (owned by VGTRK) has enjoyed the biggest wartime ratings boost in Russian television, tripling its share of viewers since late February to 4.5 percent. At the same time, however, ad revenue has plummeted, and the station is actually losing money. Advertisers have retreated from news broadcasts generally, and only Russia's entertainment programming has maintained this revenue source. But Boletskaya says the money is only a secondary concern for VGTRK: influence and audience size are what matter now.
  • 👮 Dressed to kill: Anti-extremism police in Krasnoyarsk arrestedjournalist Maria Antyusheva in her newsroom on Thursday, a day after she attended a local police briefing in a blue-and-yellow dress (the colors of the Ukrainian flag). The officers presented her with copies of antiwar comments she posted on Instagram and fined her 30,000 rubles (about $360) for "discrediting Russia's armed forces."
  • 💰 A modest request of Meta: The "Council of Bloggers" (a puppet organization under parliamentary control) is demanding $1 billion in compensation from Meta for lost monetization revenue due to the blocking of Instagram in Russia. The council says it will take the matter to court if (when) Meta refuses to pay up. The group's claim letter also demands that Meta apologize to the Russian people for permitting death threats from users in Ukraine against invading Russian soldiers (this was Russia's stated reason for blocking Facebook and Instagram).
  • ☮ No rallying around this flag: State Duma deputy Vasily Piskarev has asked federal prosecutors to seek a court order banning the "white-blue-white flag" (a symbol of antiwar protests in Russia). Researchers at the watchdog group Net Freedoms Project listed three possible outcomes of Piskarev's appeal: (1) specific demonstrations of the flag become illegal but the flag itself isn't considered extremist; (2) the flag is designated as a symbol of an invented "extremist" group and demonstrations of that symbol then become illegal extremist activity; or (3) either the courts or the prosecutors reject Piskarev's appeal.
  • 🔬 Russia gives Germany a role in the 'bioweapons' conspiracy, too: Ambassador Gennady Gatilov (Russia's permanent representative to the Conference on Disarmament) said in a speech that German scientists processed "blood samples of the Slavic ethnic group" collected by Ukraine's Health Ministry. In another allusion to "gene bombs," Gatilov also accused Germany of funding research in Ukraine to explore the effects of various diseases on "the local population."
  • 🌳 More branches on Putin's family tree: Investigative journalists at Proekt have found a whole new slew of Putin's relatives, tracking his cousin's family. They, too, got rich off ties to the state, and they own lavish real estate, the journalists discovered. For example, Putin's great niece and her daughter are "important people" in Russia's healthcare and pharmaceutical industry. Proekt also confirmed that a luxury apartment in Sochi traded hands between Putin's relatives, his mistress, and his friends, before it was finally registered under the name of a "nominal" third party to hide it better from reporters and researchers.

🧠 Putin's administration no longer hopes to take Kyiv. The Russian president has yet to make a final decision. (8-min read)

Earlier this week, the Russian Defense Ministry announced a shift in its stated military objectives in Ukraine. Russian forces, the ministry's spokesman claimed, would "drastically reduce" their assault on Kyiv and Chernihiv (this has yet to materialize) and concentrate on seizing the Donbas. According to Meduza's sources, this decision was made for both military and political reasons. For one, Russian officials aren't sure how the country can survive under harsh Western sanctions.
