Nobel Prize-winning Russian journalist issues nuclear warning
Dmitry Muratov said “no one knows” the Kremlin’s intentions.“We see how state propaganda is preparing people to think that nuclear war isn’t a bad thing,” he said of the government-enforced media diet.
“They announce: ‘We’ve got this missile, that missile, another kind of missile.’ They talk about targeting Britain and France; about sparking a nuclear tsunami that washes away America. Why do they say this? So that people here are ready,” he continued.
When asked what would happen if the propaganda machine suddenly stopped, Muratov expressed hope in the country’s young people.Muratov, right, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2021.“I am convinced that as soon as the propaganda stops, this generation — and everyone else with common sense — will speak out.”
“Twenty-one thousand administrative and criminal cases have been opened against Russians who’ve protested. The opposition is in jail. Media outlets have been shut down. Many activists, civilians and journalists have been labeled foreign agents,” he listed.Muratov said that Putin’s own “enormous” fanbase is mostly elderly citizens who see him as “their grandson, as someone who will protect them and who brings them their pension every month and wishes them Happy New Year each year.
