    Kremlin says all teens at the anti-corruption protests across Russia were "paid protesters." Same tired old lines. Who by? Hillary??

    BUT WAIT..it was the CIA and Ukraine working together or wait....Trump himself....

    The main news from Sunday's protest is the political debut of teenagers who only know Putin's rule

    Actually this is a major development and confirms what I hear from those Russians with German Residence Permits in Berlin that are in their late 20s early 30s...."they ain't going back".....is an understatement....

    Mixed Kremlin mssgs on protests from Peskov: "provocation," kids bribed, "respects" opinion, "sober" about the scale.

    Kremlin spox Peskov: We don't tell TV what to report. There is an abundance of free information out there...

    Russian @RT_Deutsch is mere propaganda.
    Claim: ±11.000 participants
    Reality: 60.000
    Claim: "some arrests, at least 15"
    Reality: 500-1000

    "A revolt of schoolkids & students" is how one Russian paper today describes Sunday's protests. "The kindergarten revolution" says another.

    Russian film director Alexander Sokurov criticises violent response to protests, says government is afraid to talk to young people.

    In leaked classroom video, Russian university lecturer denounces his students as “freaks” for protesting corruption.

    Russia is in the midst of a massive "brain drain"...anyone what is well educated or has a solid well trained/experienced blue collar background is desperately trying to get travel visas to EU...WHERE when they arrive they asked immediately for Residence Permits as "they "ain't going back home any time soon"....

    Russia is strong. Russia is respected. Russia could be brought down by some pimply teens who watched a YouTube video

    IMPORTANT read for the coming months...as these demos have caught even the attention of US Congress....

    Medvedev is as corrupt as Putin is...and is a rather easy target......so he is getting fed to the lions to distract from Putin being responsible for the corruption....as he could if he wanted to actually crack down but then the entire government...security services....state owned businesses and generally the entire society is corrupt....

    So where does one actually start??

    The Kremlin realized on Sunday that it may have problems with the next generation of Russians.
