🇷🇺 Putin had been instigating antisemitism in Russia long before the lynch mob stormed the airport in Dagestan’s capital Makhachkala, Aleksandar Đokić writes.

Well, pedestrian xenophobia is often encouraged in Russia, that is true. Divide and conquer still works. News about someone getting "attacked by migrants" spring up like mushrooms when they need to shift the agenda and they come from the same outlets which are used for propaganda. This does look coordinated and I don't think they would even dare publish something like it on their own accord.

As for antisemitism — of course it wasn't invented by Putin, it stems from the Soviet times. I can tell this to you as someone who grew up in Moscow in the Soviet Union and later Russia. Only in my twenties I realized what a load of crap it was 🤷
And yes, despite claims they are "fighting Nazis" it was always underlined that Zelensky is a Jew — but Kremlin propaganda isn't known for being good at avoiding inconsistencies, right? 😏

I remember them also claiming Poroshenko being a Jew back in 2014 as at the time we even started cracking jokes about Girkin also being a Jew and a member of Mossad and how everything is orchestrated by Jews. They throw something like that in all the time.
They only want "friendship of the peoples" or "one Russian nation" when they want all of us to go die in the war or getting equally less paid, in all other cases encouraging infighting is pretty much a thing.
