The Russian Government has been conducting a massive psyop to make Putin look much more popular than he is.

The Cover Up

Word is that much more than that was hacked and that Russian Anons are under attack by Department K.

^The Emails.

Oh, my!

Does this imply that they think their ballot stuffing in March will not be effective?

I find it interesting the Guardian put "fascist" in scare quotes.

Sorry, but Nalvany is actually a fascist. 

As Kevin Rothrock has argued in convincing detail, Navalny's nationalism is no mere dalliance or opportunistic attempt to feed off Russians' distaste for Central Asians and Caucasians. Rather, he has a long tact record of political involvement in nationalist politics. In 2007, he co-founded the nationalist group NAROD (The National Russian Liberation Movement). Their manifesto, an admixture of what Navalny calls "democratic nationalism," includes calls for democratic control of the state along with volkish precepts like "ending the degradation of Russian (russkii) civilization" restoring the "organic unity of the Russian past, present and future" and "every Russian (russkii) must have the right to receive Russian citizenship and the possibility to return to the Motherland." Yabloko expelled Navalny in 2007 for his participation in NAROD and other nationalist activities. At the end of his expulsion hearing, he yelled "Glory to Russia!" and stormed out. Among his other nationalist fits, he wrote off the neo-fascist Movement Against Illegal Immigration as harmless as "girl scouts"; declared that immigrants "will NEVER assimilate" and are a "bomb under our future"; called on Russians to arm themselves against "Muslim-looking criminals," supported the nationalist inspired "Stop Feeding the Caucasus" campaign, and most recently joined the organizing committee of the yearly nationalist powwow, the Russian March. When Russian liberals flew into a tizzy over the last move, Navalny explained it thus: "I clearly supported this long-held idea of mine, if you don't like those who will go on the Russian March, go there yourself and make it better. There they will talk about real problems and 'liberal-schmiberal' labels are nonsense."

With guys like this prowling around the Russian political scene, I'm rather more sympathetic to having a brooding Bond villain in power.
