  • Progressive party accused of targeting the Russian Orthodox Church.
  • Fears of ecological disaster from a Baltic Sea blockade.
  • Concerns over governmental decisions being manipulative.
  • Politicians perceived as prioritizing personal interests over state matters.

Overview:

This week, posts were mostly targeted towards the government and how the Centrist Party will be blamed for the failures of other politicians, despite what happens, and how the government only knows how to deal with issues that are in regard to Russian culture and language but other issues they don’t know what they are doing. The issues with the Russian Orthodox Church continue to be discussed, as well as a poster claiming that the most diverse and progressive party is the one that is targeting the Orthodox Church.  There was also a post regarding a possible blockade in the Baltic Sea, and how, if done, Russia will bring great consequences for those involved.
