Russians Who Rejoiced at Putin Death Rumors Will Be Punished: Ukraine Intel
Newsweek ^ | Nov. 4, 2023 | Brendan Cole

Russian authorities have closely monitored the public reaction to fake reports of the death of Vladimir Putin and may punish those who praised the demise of the Russian president, according to Ukrainian intelligence.

Andrii Yusov, a representative of Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, was responding to the claims emerging last week that Putin had died after a cardiac arrest and that those in his inner circle were planning a body double to replace him...

In what could have a plot line borrowed from the 2017 film The Death of Stalin, which satirizes the indecision among the inner circle of the former Soviet leader when he died in 1953, the post said medical staff had been "blocked in the room with Putin's corpse."

The rumors about Putin's alleged demise proliferated online, leading to a spike among Russians using the search terms "dead Putin, dying Putin, and Putin died," according to the Russian investigative site, Agentstvo ...

Yusov told the Ukrainska Pravda talk show that Russian secret services had "photographed, literally screenshotted, all public reactions" to the online reports, such as comments and likes.

"Soon, someone will probably come for some of those who put smiley-face emojis under messages about Putin's death," Yusov said in the interview on Friday.

"We must understand that this is a Russian story, a Russian campaign," Yusov added. He was reiterating a point he had made on the same show two days earlier that the rumors of Putin's death had been disseminated by Russian propagandists to test the reactions of ordinary citizens...

and you obsess over “Zeepers”, “Neocons” and “Globohomo”

You misspelled "LAUGH!"

YOU Zeepers are the entertainment.

Remember how we punished those who celebrated 9/11?

Or the thousands who celebrated GAZA these past few weeks.

The same goes for anyone that believes this story. But that is the Ukraine cheerleaders, sadly enough.

This one especially is trying hard to avoid the reality of the collapse of the Ukraine Project. No way, not in my lifetime :)

not seeing any collapse yet

but we do see Russia in decline

it’s so backwards and primitive that arriving Jews are attacked by lynch-mobs at the airport (don’t see that in the US, Canada or Ukraine, only Russia!)

“not dead yet” !!!

Your country has gone full marxist already.

We see Jews being attacked every day in the USA. Do you read news other than Zeeper news?

Russians who attacked Jews were reportedly punished.

This isn’t about Russia. This is about your mindless jumping on every bit of deepstate propoganda going. You need to use th brains of your puppet masters because you don’t have one of your own. Oh and last I looked, Canada had a whole bunch of problems of its own that have nothing to do with Russia and Ukraine. Go fix your problems and let us here fix our problems.

not by lynch-mobs at the airport, hunting them down

that's only in backwards Russia!

and, a direct result of Putin vilifying Israel with years of propaganda, all so Russia could curry favor with the Arab states

Since Ukraine is losing the real war they have to try to win the propaganda war at least.

Last April, you said that "Ukraine is winning"

What happened?

To: McGruff

problem for Putin is, he doesn’t have enough troops for continuing ground operations

he’s already lost about 400,000 killed/injured (using the standard 3:1 ratio), and needs to do another mobilization

but he can’t do it before next year’s “election”

expect a lot of young Russians to try to “leave for the holidays” next month, and not bother coming back to be killed

—> not by lynch-mobs at the airport,

No our US lynch mobs are centered on Marxist college campuses.
