5 May 2020 16

The Irish Times writes about the epidemiological and economic crisis in Russia. The publication, citing data from opinion polls conducted by the All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center and the Levada Center, notes that public support for the government is steadily declining.

It is becoming increasingly apparent that higher political The Russian leadership underestimated the risks of Covid-19 and could not contain the disease in its early stages. [...] In order to deflect criticism for wrong actions during the crisis, the Kremlin uses regional governors as scapegoats. However, the effectiveness of such tactics is still limited.

- quotes the Irish media opinion of Andrius Turs (Andrius Tursa), analyst at political consulting company Teneo.

The impact of the current strike on the population is expected to be serious. This year, according to The Irish Times, real incomes of Russians will fall by 5 percent. Although public welfare has already declined since the Crimean crisis in 2014.

The rise of public discontent, of course, can prevent Putin from rewriting the constitution and allowing himself to run for president for another two six-year terms after 2024

If "The Irish Times" talks about this, then Putin is doing everything right for his country. But they praised Yeltsin with all their might.

    Arkharov, you don't like the output of this "primitive" logic.
    
    With Vyacheslav's logic, everything is fine, convincing and understandable.

      And what is clear to her? With his logic and yours? Will the circle be greener? Or the fact that Putin has really lost popular support? Get outside. Talk to the people. Weak? Get on the bus, for example, and start preaching for Putin. What will people answer you there?

      The logic of the slave. And a sign of the lack of one’s own thinking and one’s own point of view.

        Arkharov, calm down and stop unjustified insults. You humiliate yourself first. Previously, I did not notice such disgusting behavior on the site for you!
        PS You in public places the liberal did not bite?

  No dust, "puff". You are now in a storm of patriotism, do not suffocate like dust. Is that right there - he raised the retirement age? Well, with this in more detail? Why do you hate us ordinary Russians so much? Well, Putin understands. He needs a reason to stay in power and all that. But what have you got to do with it? And for people like you. Putin is the receiver of Yeltsin. Which we all observe.
