Russia sees spike in Google searches for 'How to leave Russia'
Meduza ^ | September 20, 2022 | Mozhem Obyasnit

In the hours before Russian President Vladimir Putin was expected to address the nation regarding plans to conduct “referendums” in Ukraine’s occupied territories Tuesday, searches for the phrase “How to leave Russia” spiked on Google. The surge was noted by the Telegram channel Mozhem Obyasnit, though it’s available for all to see on Google Trends. The phrase’s popularity appears to have peaked at about 6:00 pm Moscow time.

Earlier Tuesday, Russian lawmakers unanimously passed legislation introducing the concepts of "mobilization" and "martial law" to the criminal code. That, combined with Russian-installed officials in Ukraine's occupied territories calling for "referendums" on annexation on September 23–27, has led to widespread speculation that Putin will soon announce a general mobilization.

Even though it's accessible in Russia, Google usage is small in comparison to that of Russia's homegrown search engine Yandex.
Similar to Google, Yandex offers a ton of other services including cloud storage, email, music streaming, online payments, maps, news aggregation, and more.

CORRECT!

but in reality Russian media and Internet is more open than our own I never thought I would live to say that it’s effing sad

It's bizarre that we're so totally controlled.

🇺🇸 It was most often for real religious persecution reasons, or due to being Jewish, but I have (in person) personally helped dozens of Russian believers/non-ROC Christian’s, Jewish people, and other Russian friends and students get visa’s to the US (and Israel, as early on Russia didn’t allow for an Israeli Consulate), from the US Embassy in Moscow over the years.

In some cases, because they had been denied medical treatment due to continued participation with Unregistered Evangelical churches, and they or their children were very sick. In some cases it was life and death. Also helped get American MD’s into Russia, who would diagnose and try to treat many persecuted Christians and Jews, and that was through the 1990’s, 2000’s, and 2010’s.

In many cases, it was very hard, as while every Russian has a national passport, of course no Russian could/can travel internationally without a Russian issued International Passport (or for that matter visit or live in any city other than HoR without the passport being registered with local police, which they are charged for daily, and must state the purpose for the visit, where they are staying, and how long they will be there).

Multuple times I had to try and intervene with Russian authorities to get re-issued National and International Passports for Jewish people, and other penalized and persecuted Christians, just to be able to visit Moscow, so they could see Western medical doctors, or even work with the US Embassy.

In some cases our efforts failed.

There were several cases, but we once lost a beautiful little girl, who died due to mercury poisoning, as we couldn’t get treatment for her fast enough. I really really tried. Her parents had lost their healthcare due to being members of an Unregistered Baptist Church, which often met in a forest or chicken coup outside of Moscow. I had the true privilege of visiting that group.

In a more than year long effort to get their healthcare back, they stopped attending the Unregistered Baptist Church. But the authorities just wanted them gone, and just laughed at them while their little girl was clearly dying without help.

Getting National Passports was prerequisite to obtaining International Passports, and was nearly as hard as getting International Passports for US sponsored Russian orphans, so we could get them a visa. In many of those cases, we learned they had been taken from there parents while significantly younger, because their parents had been involved with unregistered Evangelical churches.

In efforts to obtain Russian International Passports for 17 to near 18 year old orphans, we had to establish fake birth dates and always pay bribes, as Russian vital record offices always refused to give us the entirely legal, but required information, or didn’t have any record of them.

My interaction with some of the Christian’s landed me in a Russian jail once, and I was in “diplomatic status”.

Russia and it’s subordinate CIS is full of truly beautiful people, living under a true defined leftist fascist government and economic architecture... 🇺🇸🎚

Why don't you accept that there are people who object to Russia building up excuses to invade, and then invading another country?

In the 2014 Crimea referendum, the choices were “leave now” or “leave later”. “Stay in Ukraine” was not a option. No one other than Russia accepts their referendums in Crimea, Donbas, or Luhansk because they were so obviously rigged.

How difficult is it to spoof your country of origin to Google when conducting a search? 🤔

Anyone with a virtual private network has that ability.

Sounds more like a state sponsored virtual disinformation campaign than a legitimate organic occurrence.

Google...right.

If I searched for current crime stories a few months ago the news stories of the ambush shootings of officers by thugs were rerouted by Google algorithms to “unarmed black teen shot by police” and other similar stories. Many pages down to the genuine ones of officer killed by thugs.

Oddly* enough, YouTube bombards me with crime stories from around the country. A search for your crime story on YT might provide better results than Google. A search for local news sources are best.

* I do not log in to YouTube, I can’t subscribe , follow or comment but they provide plenty of the content I look for.

I could not get on Aeroflot’s website at all last night. Tried several times, spaced 30+ minutes apart. Same thing tonight, but I also have something going on, on my end, I think, as any webpage I stay on for long freezes, even low data pages like FR. Just lost a long reply to someone. (So I’m posting this quick!)

Thank you for posting your Anti-invasion of Ukraine articles rather than more Putin pals old ‘mad-man’ liberal support.

PUTIN could stop this INVASION any time.

He won’t.

Putin just keeps letting those dead bodies pile up. It’s not like he cares about the Ukraine population, Russian population or even his own military!

I appreciate your your source material. Again thanks

That’s a bald faced lie just the media trying to destroy western civilization and you now laud their veracity

That is the bright shining lie

Freepers loving the media only because it fits their Soviet bogeyman narrative

Google and Youtube use the same basic algorithm. Search for one subject will get you more results on the same subject most likely more radical. Google/youtube are marketing engines first, gotta sell those ads.

#38. I’m just doing my part to destroy your faith in all the second rate news sites and blogs which accept what the Russian MOD, Russian Pravda, and TASS say at face value.
