Get a life. We don’t support or like Putin, but we want an end to the war and the killing. Zelensky is no saint, no defender of basic rights, and we have no dog in this hunt. If we cut off military aid for Zelensky, yeah, Putin might gain some ground, but big deal - it’s ground that was part of the Russian sphere of influence for most of our lives and long before. Your own army has done or bad as worse than Putin. Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and on and on. Why are you so attached to killing?
‘AGIPROP’ by definition is what it is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The term originated in the Soviet Union as a shortened name for the Department for Agitation and Propaganda [отдел агитации и пропаганды, otdel agitatsii i propagandy], which was part of the central and regional committees of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
Both agitation (work among people who were not Communists) and propaganda (political work among party members) were the responsibility of the agitpropotdel, or APPO within the party. Its head was a member of the MK secretariat, although they ranked second to the head of the orgraspredotdel.
Typically Russian agitprop explained the ideology and policies of the Communist Party and attempted to persuade the general public to support and join the party and share its ideals.
Bolshevik strategy from the beginning was to gain access to the primary medium of dissemination of information in Russia: the press. Prominent Bolsheviks like Kamenev, Stalin and Bukharin became editors of Pravda during and after the revolution creating an instrument for Bolshevik agitprop.
Pravda became the dominant source of written information for regions controlled by the Red Army.
“Get a life.”
Yes. And, stand for freedom.

“what has putin accomplished for russia with 318,570 russia soldiers dead?
russia is now a pariah”
Putin hasn’t been aware of reality of military or civilians in Russia for a long, long time. As an absolute dictator, He became used to “shooting the messenger” and killing any opposition with the results no one would tell him the truth.
Stand for freedom? Zelensky closes down churches he doesn’t like and suspends elections.
Escape from “Ukrobanderostan”...
You’re deflecting, mommy. Looks like I’m hitting a nerve.
You do a wonderful job of telling people what they already know, but you can’t help yourself. Mommy has a burning need to show everyone how intellectually superior she is.
I am neither pro-Putin, a farmer-troll or a useful idiot detractor. I am someone who loves (to paraphrase Shakespeare) this blessed plot, this earth, this Free Republic, this America. Unlike a traitorous ingrate like yourself who wants to bleed her dry for the sake of enriching corrupt politicians.

Silly! No deflection.
Despite your ‘glowing’ self definition, I do ignore you from time to time LOL
“Zelensky closes down churches he doesn’t like and suspends elections.”
MERE RUSSIAN ‘AGIPROP’
1. Ukrainian parliament votes to ban Orthodox Church over alleged links with Russia
2. Sorry you missed the Ukraine election information
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4195005/posts?page=22#22
However, it is good to repeat as others may have as well:
Ukraine’s election calendar would have held a vote for parliament members this week and a presidential election next March — but Ukraine’s constitution postpones elections under a state of martial law, which the government declared following Russia’s invasion 18 months ago. Ukrainian officials and civil society leaders say no effective elections can be held amid a Russian invasion that now occupies about 18 percent of Ukraine’s territory and has uprooted at least 11 million Ukrainians from their homes. Russian missile attacks continue to strike every region of the country, routinely hitting civilian targets and destroying basic infrastructure.
“In this situation, can we have the elections?” Ukraine’s ambassador in Washington, Oksana Markarova, asked in a discussion last week at USIP.
“Well, definitely not, if you believe in free and fair elections.” She compared Ukraine’s situation with that of Britain during World War II, in which the British parliament voted annually to postpone overdue 1940 elections until after the war’s end.
Oleksii Danilov, secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council (NSDC), expressed frustration that PACE was telling Ukraine to ignore its own constitution, as Ukrainian Pravda reported:
I want to stress that we will handle this [i.e., the question of elections - ed.] ourselves, in accordance with our laws and our Constitution. When the [martial law] is in effect, as it currently is, no elections can take place.
In June 2023, 77% of Ukrainians supported Zelenskyy’s reelection. Because Zelenskyy did make this announcement, and because the Ukrainian law does indeed prohibit elections during martial law.
The Washington-based International Republican Institute (IRI) published an opinion survey last week that found:
- 62% of Ukrainians favoring an indefinite postponement of elections until after the war,
- a total of 71 % favoring postponement at least until a year from now or longer.
- A similar poll issued by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology finds 81% of Ukrainians favoring a postponement of elections until “after the end of the war.”
- A total of nine recent opinion surveys have consistently found most Ukrainians — in majorities measured at 65 to 80% favoring postponement of elections, said Peter Erben, who directs the Ukraine operations of the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES).
Erben and Aivazovska spoke alongside Markarova at the USIP discussion last week, co-sponsored by IFES and the National Endowment for Democracy.
Even OPPOSITIONAL POLITICAL FIGURES discourage any attempt to hold elections under Russian attack.
Political analysts note that a presidential vote as scheduled next March would give extraordinary advantages to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, letting him use his wartime boost in popularity (an 82 % APPROVA RATING in the new IRI poll) to lock in a new five-year term.
- Dmytro Razumkov, a parliament member with an opposition party who is discussed by analysts as a possible presidential candidate, told Politico in September that in part because “a huge amount of territory is either under occupation, or the infrastructure there is destroyed,” Ukraine has “no possibility to organize the election process on the ground” during the war.
I watched the first minute and a half which was about the Ukrainian SU-27 pilot defecting to the Russian side.
My favorite post is “That pilot did not defect...he returned home.”
You don’t ignore me mommy.
You just can’t think of anything to say.

P.S. MARTIAL LAW DECLARED IN U.S.A.
“Martial law–also called martial rule–is a type of jurisdiction in which military authority temporarily replaces civil authority.
In the United States, martial law can be declared on a national level by the President or Congress, or within the borders of a particular state by that state’s governor. Martial law was first declared in New Orleans, Louisiana by then General Andrew Jackson during the War of 1812. Since then, it has been declared multiple times, notably by President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War.
Martial law has been declared nine times since World War II, most often in response to resistance of desegregation decrees during the Civil Rights era.”

Or nose candy for Hunter.
Why are you posting about Martial Law being declared in America?
Wishful thinking on your part?
And there you go again, posting to yourself.
