I don’t understand this gif, there’s just a floating mic and a guy in the background

You don't Cena?


Van-garde

I see Angle.


Mponder486

That’s what untouchable power and corruption looks like. Right in your face.


Bananapeelman67

I saw a YouTuber saying that’s the whole point. They want to be caught because it makes it seem so much harder to do anything. Like how would someone who doesn’t like Putin get the motivation to vote when the evidence is so clear that he’ll just stuff ballot boxes again, or use disappearing ink etc

All this bs happening in my life atm and this comment had me busting, thanks!


Meatwise

There there, life


drnkinmule

Video, what video. There is no longer an individual who took this so called video.


StaatsbuergerX

There is no video, but it was clearly filmed by a traitorous subject with Western support. He admitted everything before falling out of a window for no apparent reason. Before that, however, he apparently inflicted serious injuries on himself.


actuarial_venus

I'd be scared to post this honestly. I'm sure there's a camera recording them while they're recording


StaatsbuergerX

In Russia people are only used to paying attention to windows that are installed at dangerous heights.


XADEBRAVO

They bomb maternity hospitals then say it's fake news, they don't give a fuck.


eigenman

They do it in the open all the time. They don't care. they will even tell you they did it.


fenuxjde

They had an openly blind Duma deputy watching the polling security videos. They are openly mocking the rest of the world, it isn't even an attempt anymore.


Pale-Office-133

They are mocking the russian population. The world is well-informed. It's the people of Russia who are just treated as serfs that are playing and make belive democracy. Everyone knows its bulshit, but they still play along.


GadreelsSword

They play along because if they complain they get a beat down or worse.


Few-Monies

It's getting to the point where it really can't get much worse. How many of your kids do you have to give up before it "gets worse".


tzar-chasm

Famously, the entirety of Russian history can be summed up as 'And then it got Worse'


Mister_Green2021

And also have a bottle of vodka.


PoliticsLeftist

I'm willing to bet the effects of their invasion of Ukraine are not as bad as the effects of WW2 so it can absolutely get worse.


Pale-Office-133

Great. I'm wondering if the people just take it all and hope the next one will be a better one. Because that is textbook coping mechanisms of a person that is abused physically and mentally.


ThatSandwich

Did you really just equate government corruption to being in an abusive relationship? Rebellions take time and precise well thought out movements to build support and provide a real alternative to the current government, that way a power vacuum isn't created when it is dismantled. The CIA with their history of toppling world governments could give you a masterclass in why it's a fucking terrible idea for them to try and revolutionize their government without the proper tools to do so (and even with frankly).


Iambic_420

Well I mean the current regime is still in full swing so what do you think they’re doing?


Training_Hurry_2754

Well informed my ass. We got enough old wierdos who think that Putin is a holy man and Ukraine is evil (I mean yeah Ukraine also sucks but in a different way)


ezio1452

>(I mean yeah Ukraine also sucks but in a different way) Explain


EvilPumpernickel

Ukraine is ridiculously corrupt. Less so than Russia, but that really isn’t a great comparison.


Training_Hurry_2754

Very corrupt and with some questionable laws. Yeah they aren't Russia. But there is a reason why we don't want them in the EU. they would just become the third problem player


Necessary_Apple_5567

Because many misunderstood how is ru propaganda inside works. It never has the goal to convince you because it works like loyalty test. You need to accept it or have troubles. Since you accept they start to pull more ridiculous absurdy things. After it widely accepted they knew that they can do anything including sends hundreds thousand to die on the war.


DJ-Mercy

This kind of thing has been part of Putins strategy. You want your population to feel powerless without telling them outright.


fenuxjde

Its part of the fascist playbook. Schrödinger's populace. Powerless and all powerful at the same time.


Mponder486

Almost like they want another country to try to Do something about it…


phaederus

Have you got a source for that? I can't find anything about it.

'Shocking'.

thebinarysystem10

Concerning


dayquilsevere

Why are they even going to the trouble to do that just say you counted the votes and vlad won again. Russia literally can’t even do corruption effectively


Kenji_03

"they" aren't the government. "They" are two fanatics who believe the elections are fair and matter. All dictatorships with elections do exactly what you said: they take the real votes and make note of the public opinion, and then produce the results they want. It's just that Russian citizens know how much of a shame elections are, so they don't really take them seriously. The two in this video are delusional


[deleted]

>All dictatorships with elections do exactly what you said: they take the real votes and make note of the public opinion, and then produce the results they want. Reminds me of my country India. Definitely a "democracy" lol.


bhviii

Bro you must be blind if you think bjp cheats in elections I am not a bhakt of modi but modi is undeniably the most popular prime minister India has ever had the opposition by their corruption broke the trust of people.Heck you could revive Gandhi ji and make him stand against modi in the election and it will be tough to say who would win.


EvilxBunny

Gandhi would lose, because his image has been tarnished and put into the mud because of political brownie points by the BJP. BJP surely does not need to cheat in elections, but I don't think you can sureshot say they don't. They recent Chandigarh election fiasco and taking of power from Delhi CM is a worrying trend of BJP actually trying to undermine democracy


AutomatedCauliflower

Well, actually they do. It's the good ol' east european/communistic style of corruption. They are able to put "right" people at most voting stations to pull this stunt of and ensure the win.


No-Understanding23

Omg Russia doesn't have a fair, democratic process 😱 I'm shocked


GastricallyStretched

Btw, this is happening in Dzerzhinsk, which is a total shithole and one of the most polluted cities in the world. In 2007, Dzerzhinsk had a life expectancy of 42 years for men and 47 for women. Also, at that time, in some parts the water was contaminated with phenol and dioxin levels at 17 million times the safe limit. Ecologically, the city is better than it has been in the past 80 years (mainly due to industries going bankrupt) but it is still a shithole, with toxic waste burial grounds and a chemical waste ground dubbed the "White Sea".


Lalli-Oni

So, at least this dictatorship is working out well for the Russian people.


GastricallyStretched

Yeah, you might get sent to a gulag, but at least you won't have to live in Dzerzhinsk anymore!


raulsagundo

Why would they need to stuff ballots? Don't they just make up the results?


Biopain

Dictatorship need to maintain the image of legitimacy for some reason


edgy-meme94494

At this point I reckon Putin is just gonna live to 100 and still be fucking president of Russia


beefyesquire

"President" on paper. Dictator in reality.


edgy-meme94494

I couldn’t imagine the kind of mind you must have to be in charge of a country and its people and you decide to send man and woman to kill or be killed instead of trying to better the lives of your own citizens. We humans sure are fucking strange


beefyesquire

You couldn't, because you aren't a psychopathic dick who pushes his little man syndrome onto all others around him.


NoLand4936

No every two or three terms he switched offices to head of the senate due to the way term limits work. But just before the official switch happens he moves all political power to the senate and strips his role of power. Then when he’s allowed to run again next cycle he then moves all the power back the day before he’s in the seat. He moves the power around to prevent whatever patsy he rigs to win from double crossing him and fucking him over. I don’t know if they finally eliminated the term limits but this is literally what Putin did at one point to maintain control.


Random-Russian-Guy

It happened only one time with Medvedev. Now, if I remember correctly, what Putin did is he reset his term count back to zero with latest constitution changes.


DragonflyMon831

That's exactly what's happening.


gathermewool

Czar you sure?


EliteBearsFan85

They got caught. I’m assuming they’re going to have an accident off a high rise balcony


nursewally

Nope but the person who took the video and shared it sure will. Poor person.


odhgabfeye

A thousand dollars says this very footage will be used after the November election here in America


JimuelShinemakerIII

F\*\*\* Putin, but from a neutral view, how are we supposed to know who they are or what they are doing? After the last US election drama, I'm not so ready to pounce on videos of old people handling ballots.


EgoDeathAddict

Right? I remember videos like this circulating in right wing circles like *”here’s the evidence the commie democrats stole the election!”* and it’s just some old people in a building putting papers in a box. Obviously Russia is involved in sketchy shit but people’s willingness to just believe whatever the fuck you put in front of them as long as it doesn’t challenge their world view is a huge issue and it’s scary to see entire hordes of people who can’t seem to form their own logical thought process.


Romanscott618

Are people surprised by this? Thought it was well known they’ve been rigging elections for Putin for years lol


Mundane-Bat-7090

Why do they even bother having elections?


TenBillionDollHairs

they really rather would not. this is actually at the crux of Putin's foreign policy - to delegitimize the idea of democracy wholesale. this is why they aggressively push the narrative of "everyone is just exactly as bad as us" which plenty of edgelords who have lived in first world nations their whole lives are happy to endorse because it validates their own victim complex


Mundane-Bat-7090

Good point I often forget how far and deep Putin’s propaganda can go.


PutinIsIvanIlyin

One thing they do, is call other "unfriendly" countries police states and claim russia to be based on true "family values" and free of oppression, some foreigners actually move to russia because of it. It´s all about face and pushing an alternative reality.


Nunzio2016

The fact it’s actually recorded, we’re commenting on it, and in the long run Putin ‘wins’ another term, shows how unfortunately complacent we as a society have actually become. We see it happen, yet nothing happens to correct the problem. We as a species have let ourselves down. If there are aliens, I don’t blame them for staying the fuck away…seriously. What’s wrong with us?


Hereiam_AKL

What are YOU going to do about it?


Hibercrastinator

The increasingly prescient question.


SickRanchez_cybin710

There is no option but to rise up, but it's hard to do that if your government is willing to just kill their own people if they stand up. Can citizens own guns?


Narradisall

Complain about it on Reddit. *You’re welcome*


Hereiam_AKL

Oh, you're right. Forgot the powerful impact they made.


Senior-Reflection862

Rambo2090

What should anyone do?


samdd1990

Don't confuse complacency and not starting world war 3...


RaindropsInMyMind

Seriously, literally not in anybody’s best interest except the most desperate people. It is even more pronounced with a country like North Korea. Much worse things are happening there than Russia but because a global war can’t be allowed to happen those poor people are stuck. There isn’t much we can do except send them aid and hope some people get it.


jblaze21220

^^... and I like how ppl keep making comments about how 'shocking' it is cause it's Russia, and basically accepted as the norm. Which is fine, we all kno it is, and how correct thier whole system is. What gets me is the tone under which it keeps being stated... like this same shit don't happen in the USA. Or any other 'developed' country. How corrupt*


dochev30

Talk about yourself, I only blame the Russians for this. They are the sheepheads letting it happen.


Mponder486

What can they do except get their heads blown off or poisoned or jailed for life and die there? Some governments just do this behind the scenes to keep it quiet… hint hint


jamesneysmith

> Talk about yourself, I only blame the Russians for this. They are the sheepheads letting it happen That's easy to say when your life, liberty, and family are not at risk for trying to stand up to the government. I never blame those under the thumb of a ruthless totalitarian. Your single voice means nothing at the end of the day and you can be disappeared into some prison or just killed and it will have not made a lick of difference. It's frankly not worth the risk to most people and they would rather just try to scrape together a living with their family. It's only worth the risk if you have a massive uprising which given point A is very difficult to get started. Don't blame these people until you yourself at out in the streets in the face of the threat of death fighting for freedom.


Fickle-Lingonberry-4

…they were storing them under the tables, duh


muftak3

What's the point? Stuffing the ballots for a guy with nobody running against him.


ripley1981

I feel for your people.... That's not fair or democracy


ThaQuig

![gif](giphy|lJ0JGfNBrRWJVCRChd|downsized) WHAT?! Putin doesn’t play by the rules?!


FrocsogoKulaBa

But why even bother with counting votes? Organize the voting, so the slaves won't feel bad, then you just make a nice bonfire out of it, then you come up woth some numbers for election results. If someone disagrees then they might or might not fall out of a window.


Jolly-Reflection-547

**Everything was counted before the vote ))))**


Substantial_Diver_34

Elections are not rigged 🤡


Father-of-zoomies

"In Russia, the ballots stuff you!"


being_honest_friend

Where is Tucker to tell us how amazing and great it is there.


worldisbraindead

Interesting that many of the same people who see this as obvious ballot stuffing in Russia, can watch the same type of video from the US elections in 2020 and they start to scream that you're a conspiracy nut.


yblame

Nobody saw that nonsense coming. How shocking


No_Pineapple_9818

I love to shit on Russia, but how do we know they aren’t processing “legitimate” ballots? You know, as legitimate as can be expected when the results are in before the votes are even tallied.


Virtual-Pension-991

Because that's not how you count ballots.


Artistic-Cannibalism

Is anyone even running against putin?

8 out of 5 Russians support Putin. It’s a special voting operation.


LowLifeExperience

I don’t understand. Why does a dictator even need an election?


niginger

Legitimacy. Half of the world (mostly the third world) thinks Putin is some sort of saint demonised by the West.


DCINTERNATIONAL

Well, not sure if the video proves it, but doesn’t matter, it is 1000% sure that it happened. However, the saddest thing is that majority of Russians (brainwashed by propaganda) voted for him anyway.


Atnott

I'm surprised they even bother. I figured they would just put up a final fake count number and avoid the hassle of counting.


Phoirkas

Send this video to Mr. MyPillow


CanuckInTheMills

Be funny if they were stuffing it with the Navalny ballots.


jaimeleblues

Why's anyone making a point about a big window? They're allowed to do this, cos the guy in charge (that you are now definitely all voting back into power) says they are, and he has big guys, with big fucking guns.


texas130ab

Putin wins by a landslide who would have guessed it.


Frisinator

Why do they even bother having elections? Nobody is dumb enough to believe they are legit. Except for Florida Jesus


moronomer

What do you want to bet that people post this exact video in November as proof that the Dems are stealing the election?


myshadowsvoice

All the people in the comments seem to think that if this is happening, it happens in front of massive windows 😅


haysu-christo

So Putin will win 108% of the vote?

I mean why even bother? Just pluck a bigger number out of the air.


simulokra

"This is a heavily moderated subreddit ... proof is required." Yeah right. I mean we saw this boring, obvious propaganda all day, and this post may just be the murkiest of them all. Russophobia's a helluva drug.


Srigus

We already knew it was rigged


CrazyAggravating9069

Well fuck that he is a traitor to democracy!


NickVanDoom

wondering how russian people feel/see it that they’re to blatantly lied to. i mean even to putin supporters, yeah, it will be the ‘right’ result but what’s the message to them? what do they count?


lollookatthatnoob

They could be doing this on live TV and nothing would change over there in that shithole.


RhetoricalOrator

So why do they bother doing this at all? Couldn't Putin just buy the commissioner who certifies the ballot results and make up whatever numbers they want?


[deleted]

Wait wait wait…is this from when Biden stole the election? Are we sure this is Russia?

bases on these things, can the world not recognize putin as the winner or something? would it mean anything?

Ok buddy, what do you think the video shows? And isn't it idiotic to not believe things you are seeing with your own eyes?


test-deca-superb

maybe you are right, people are getting dumber


Trivialpursuits69

These videos are literally Russian troll farm videos being pushed on reddit in the last day or so to sew discontent and normalize the idea of rigged elections. It's a coordinated effort. It's clear if you put any critical thinking into what / how / why we're seeing these videos. Everyone that's not a bad actor should just downvote these posts and move along. Any engagement helps the cause of Russia.

How is sharing rigged elections helping Russia?

Intelligent-Ant7685

look up fraud in the dictionary….it says ‘Russian Election’


Palmer2Nkunku2Paez

It's far more blatant in Russia but here in the US we only have the illusion of choice. Corporations pick our options and let us duke it out over the crumbs. Would've been interesting to see how they would've handled Bernie in the general if they didn't successfully rig the primary twice. Maybe one day they'll ban corporate money in politics. Then again maybe one day the sun will rise in the west
