One needs to view
this consecutive series of BBC short video in-person interviews, one
after the other. They are all of value...even the one of Putin's TV
program, where he is, always, the center star performer, and the
answer-man.
This is not
a heavy or in-depth study of what all is going wrong in The Russian
Federation today, but simply what some average Russians feel about it, and who dare to speak their mind...at least to some degree of brave... or simply...resigned...sarcastic cynical honesty, to a foreign correspondent, and how they are day by day, struggling to just cope....and survive....that's all.
But clearly, some express their view that the cause
of their bad economy and their lower living standards as being caused
by: the Russian people bearing the 'unfair' heavy financial burdens
of: 'Russia's helping Ukraine' (!)...a clear indication of how many
seem to swallow Putin's propaganda regarding Ukraine....or who simply do
not know any better. Many Ukrainians, of course, do not see what Putin
has done or is still doing to their country, as 'helping' !
One sincere quote from the young married English teacher:
"Who is to blame? Most
people I know, blame our government."..( but virtually never is Putin
himself...publically or openly... named as the cause of anything bad).
