"...And take less pictures!" Crimeans see CIA and Ukrainian military agents everywhere

"...And take less pictures!" Crimeans see CIA and Ukrainian military agents everywhere

The methods of Russian propaganda in Crimea are strikingly reminiscent of Soviet times.

Crimean journalist Alexander Zvezdin left a post on his blog that vividly recalled how the "enemies of the people" were exposed as Soviet citizens:

Today I met a friend. She said: “Sasha, you are probably aware of the verdict of those who spread panicky rumors about the capture of Moscow by the Germans in the war. Therefore - a little more optimism. Our helmsman is Sergey Aksenov (head of Crimea, editor's note ). Thanks to Russia for saving us from Bandera. If Russia had not come - here the posters would have hung with Bandera ( banned in the Russian Federation - ed .). Yes, there are trials. Traitors get what they deserve. Foreign agents are here. A lot of them. It happens that you tell something to a person - and he is a CIA agent. You need to be on the alert mode. And take less pictures. They will say: "He walks, fixes objects." And then prove that you are a blogger. We have a border zone, and near the borders there is special control..."

Well, I think these words need to be heeded. Well-versed in these matters, she once worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."

Zvezdin's readers responded to this post in different ways:

- If such is the population of Crimea, then Ukraine should crisscross itself, because Russia took this population for itself. Now this is the problem of Russian psychiatrists.

“These people are from the past, and from the worst part of it. There is no point in arguing with such people or what else to explain. They always and everywhere see the CIA, MI6, Japanese and German intelligence services. This is because they fear Bandera's posters less than their own fears. They will not be able to live any other way Alas.

- I haven't seen a single poster in Ukraine. Not with Bandera, not even with the president, including in institutions. Flags and colors of the flag in clothes are found, she noted, not without regret, that there is no Russian speech on the street, even where everyone used to speak Russian. And if you speak in Russian, you are answered in Ukrainian, with a beautiful clean accent everywhere. If you ask to speak Russian, they immediately switch to Russian, the same is all and everywhere, with a smile. But there are NO portraits. And there is no personality cult either. There are smiles on people's faces. To everyone and everywhere.
