FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Yabloko leader Sergei Mitrokhin told reporters before being detained by police
that the bill was intended to intimidate the opposition.
“A direct signal is being made by those in power: sit down and keep quiet!” Mr
Mitrokhin said.
Mr Putin has toughened his stance against the opposition since winning a third
term in March’s election, rejecting a dialogue with its leaders and
stonewalling their demands.
In a show of contempt for public criticism, Mr Putin appointed ex-Interior
Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev as an undersecretary of the presidential Security
Council and named several other former ministers as presidential advisers.
Mr Putin named his new Cabinet on Monday, retaining some key figures but
dropping some of the most widely detested ministers, including Mr
Nurgaliyev, Health Minister Tatyana Golikova and Education Minister Andrei
Fursenko.
Mr Nurgaliyev has faced massive public outrage over widespread incidents of
torture and other abuses by police, while Ms Golikova and Mr Fursenko have
been linked to the worsening state of the nation’s health care and education
systems.
The appointment of former ministers to new official positions has been
expected given Mr Putin’s record of keeping his lieutenants employed despite
public outrage.
