A very good #DW documentary I found in a post by @johnehummel@diasp.org.
But I can tell you, it made me really sad ...
It covers the #installation of #Putin's #fascist_system in #Russia.
As a German who has studied the history of our country, I see parallels to Hitler's career, his rise, and his way of deceiving and deluding the masses ...
But see for yourself ..:
Russia: Putin’s propaganda machine - Manipulating the people | DW Documentary
On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded #Ukraine. Many Russians supported the move at the time. Others silently rejected what was described as a #special_operation, which Putin claimed would #de-Nazify a former #sister_nation.
*Years of #indoctrination and #propaganda, a #single-party_rule that #muzzles the #media - this film #investigates how Russians under Putin have #fallen_silent, and why no one has pulled the #political_ripcord.
Although the international community continues to be horrified by this #brutal, #anachronistic #war in the heart of Europe, most Russians back Putin’s "special operation”. The film is an unprecedented #journey into the heart of a #brainwashed, #intimidated_society and an #in-depth investigation into the #inner_workings of Russia’s #repressive_machine.
