The king is not real! What to expect from Putin on May 9?

Russian President Vladimir Putin prepares to speak at a military parade in Moscow on May 9. According to the press secretary Dmitry Peskov, no changes are planned due to the threat of Ukrainian drones – the parade will be held without interruption. True, the traditional reception at Putin, where the Russian leader usually awards and speaks to veterans, has been canceled this year. The reason for the cancellation was not specified.

“An ordinary parade is being prepared. That’s all I can say. As usual, the president will speak,” Peskov said. said.

He added that after the attempted attack on the residence of the President of the Russian Federation in the Kremlin, additional security measures will be taken, including the military parade on May 9.

Focus He already said that in the western regions of the Russian Federation there are problem areas in air defense, and adequate air defense is not provided in the small and medium echelons. Probably for this reason, in addition to the Pantsir-S1 complexes, Moscow OMON employees with binoculars were placed on the roofs of administrative buildings. Russian officials believe that the presence of binoculars in OMON’s security forces will help to quickly respond to potential drone attacks on the Kremlin.

Long before May 9, interruptions began in the operation of navigation systems in the center of Moscow. This is done to put obstacles to the UAV equipment.

It is already known that among the heads of state, only the President of Kyrgyzstan, Sadyr Japarov, will be in Moscow on May 9. There will not even be a faithful Lukashenka, her plans have not yet been reported. Not a single foreign leader came to Moscow in 2022. Then the Kremlin explained this by the fact that the date is not an anniversary and, apparently, this time it will be the same.

May 9 parade in Moscow. Putin or many of his stunt doubles

Last year, Putin was expected to declare war or general mobilization against Ukraine, but this did not happen. At that time, the enemy occupied most of the Kharkov and Kherson districts, preparing a new offensive in the Nikolaev region. Today the Russian army is preparing to counter the Ukrainian counterattack in the occupied territories.

report Focus experts point out that from the outside, the situation in the Russian Federation looks extremely depressing. Parades were canceled in more than 20 cities, including the annexed Crimea. Putin has not a single victory to offer the Russians. The only thing that the Russian president has noted recently is the opening of a tram route in occupied Mariupol. This does not correspond to the level of the leader of a nuclear power.

According to political scientist Pyotr Oleshchuk, the President of the Russian Federation is generally in a situation where people question whether they are the real Putin.

“All the public statements of the Russian president have greatly discredited him, and the story of the twins has generally refuted Putin. If earlier this was discussed at the level of conspiracy theories and marginalization, then after the “long tables” with the authorities, which Putin feared. So-called public visits for his health “The Russians are starting to doubt that they are dealing with a real Putin. The depth of the leader’s view, 90% of the population will think he is Putin or his twin?” – speaks Focus oleshchuk

In contrast, political strategist Alexei Golobutsky is convinced that Putin, or his exact counterpart, should appear in public. If this does not happen, the Russians will have a reasonable fear of the country’s security and the strength of the political leadership.

“It is unlikely that they will hide it from the public, because the question will arise: where is the tsar? You must understand that in the Russian Federation there is a classic form of totalitarian government, so Putin should not talk about any PR people or political technologists in the Kremlin, where all his decisions are true He says he was perceived as a “bright wrapper for the people”. Focus Golobutsky.

What will Putin talk about on May 9?

Political scientist Pyotr Oleshchuk assures that on May 9 it is not worth expecting anything significant from Putin. Why does everyone think that he should make such a statement from the podium, but the opposite happens. Putin, who previously recorded everything on video, makes all the important addresses in his comfortable office.

“Putin does not like to take responsibility, so some landmark statements will be ordered to be made, for example by Shoigu, Mishustin or Volodin, and Putin will talk about achievements – veterans, benefits, increased equipment production and growth. crops,” says Petr Oleshchuk.

Volodymyr Fesenko, chairman of the board of the Penta Center for Applied Political Studies, agrees. According to him, until recently we were used to expecting some meaning from the Kremlin on important dates, but it’s time to get used to the fact that it can happen every day. Since then, the Russians have become more cunning and do not use specific dates for this.

“Putin will not say anything new, neither for us nor for the Russians. I will say that there are less and less ready-made loopholes for the internal user. It seems that there will be some propaganda slogans, but nothing more. Expect nothing and fear, Putin flew away. How to act in the current situation “He doesn’t have a clear understanding of what will happen, an example of this is a drone over the Kremlin. We only hear some vague statements about the answer and no one can clearly formulate what will happen,” he says. Focus Fesenko.

He is confident that the next nuclear weapons threats are no longer being taken seriously, and the Kremlin top is well aware that nuclear weapons are the Russian Federation’s weapon of self-destruction. The elite do not want to lose their wealth and influence due to the outbreak of a global nuclear war.

Judging by the propaganda rhetoric and recent events, according to Golobutsky, Putin will use the narrative of the collective West’s war against invincible Russia. The theses that propaganda has been spreading for some time try to explain the lack of success.
