The image of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has become too depressing. Therefore, propaganda is trying to make him a more cheerful person. Andriy Yusov, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, said this on the air of "We are Ukraine", UNN reports.
According to Yusov, the Russian zombie mindset needs to be further fed with propaganda and the level of zombieism needs to be maintained. And of course, the Kremlin and the Kremlin technologists and propagandists are closely monitoring the mood inside Russia and the words and narratives that work better in terms of supporting certain messages and a certain general line.
"Indeed, there was a certain period when the image of the Russian dictator became too depressing even for the Russian audience. But lately, they have been trying to level it out, to make him more cheerful, a man who can actually bring his own passport for registration during a pseudo-election campaign or some other daring things like an entire press conference. Nevertheless, this is all imitation and nothing more," Yusov said.
