POBNEWS24, Dhaka, Mar 12, 2022 : When Vladimir Putin came to power, many observers assumed that Russia would change. Putin himself promised to eradicate corruption and irregularities. Observers’ ideas and Putin’s promises did not take long to go in the opposite direction. Critics say Putin, from the beginning, focused on the Russian state system.
His state apparatus is working as a tool to carry out ‘special operations’ in Ukraine.
CNN analyst Nick Robertson compared Putin’s actions to those of the Nazis. According to him, what the Nazis did in Germany in the 1930s and 1940s, Putin is now working to reorganize the state. In a word, all the institutions of the state are ready to follow his instructions. Ukraine and Putin’s own country, Russia চ্ছে the two countries are working together in a force that is always ready.
On the one hand, civilian casualties are taking place along with military casualties in the attack of Russian forces in Ukraine. On the other hand, the sword has fallen on the Russians who have erupted in protest against the loss of innocent lives in the neighboring country. Robertson said more than 1,000 people were arrested every day in Russia in the first week of the operation in Ukraine. Russians, men and women, young and old, have been beaten by the police. Under Putin’s rule, “well-trained, well-paid human resources” have easily attacked anti-government protesters. In other words, innocent people are the victims of the loss of life and property of the two neighboring countries and in both cases Russia is responsible.
According to Robertson, it will not be easy to get Russia out of the bitterness that Putin has sown.
Robertson writes in his article about the state of the Russian media, as well as the state system, that during Putin’s long rule, the media was in turmoil. Russia’s independent news outlets have been on “life support” since the assassination of hardline anti-Putin leader Alexei Navalny two years ago. Criticizing the government, the media screams for fear of 15 years imprisonment.
One of the few independent news organizations in Russia was TV Rain. A month ago, a presenter on that television reported extreme uncertainty. He said, “It is not possible to say for sure whether the TV station will be there tomorrow or not. “The channel was shut down within days of the start of the Russian operation in Ukraine,” he said. The presenter, her editor husband and children are now expatriates. If such people leave the country one by one, Russia will become dark – this is Robertson’s opinion.
The CNN analyst thinks Putin is doing the same thing in Ukraine, Syria, Chechnya and Georgia that he is doing in Ukraine. And now the senior journalist is skeptical about whether he will be confined to Ukraine. He questioned whether Putin would stop at NATO’s borders or start a third world war. Although he has questions about this, he is convinced that Putin is calling for the destruction of Russia as well as Ukraine. The analyst swears that the war is not Russia’s, but Putin’s.
