  1. I mean, thats fair, but then why pretend to have elections or pretend to be a democracy ?

  2. Basically they are pretending that russians in Russia have a choice when they actually don’t have any choice at all. But this Simonyan or anyone else in russia will never say this obv.

  3. She scares me because she sounds so confident and it really seems that what she says makes sense. But if we were to analyze what she just said. We would come to conclusion that she basically said: “We don’t want democracy.” but if you asked her this she would deny it.

  6. “Why do you think the way you live is better than the way you live?”

    – because our GDP per capita is massive and your GDP per capita is closer to Africa than to Europe.

    And because the whole world is trying to immigrate to our countries, not yours. It may be a problem, but it is also proof that the way we live is better than the way you live, you horrible nazi bitch.

  7. Because we don’t drink ourselves to death and invade our neighbours for no reason

  8. Every time it seems like a serious opposition appears they either turn up dead or are brought up on very convenient charges that makes them ineligible to run.

  9. Не понял. А какую ячейку общества она представляет? Кому это «нам вы не нравитесь» ? Вам это кому? Почему она говорит от имени нас?

  10. “Why was there no real opponent in the elections?”

    “Uhh, because other countries suck, duh!”

    solid reasoning 😀

  12. ” We don’t like you much,really!”. OK , i wish EU would stop giving visas Russians “rich parents kids”. I like to see where they choose to live. Such a hypocrite society.

  13. But we just can’t quit our villas in the South of France where our kids go to school.

  14. Omg, this is cringe overload, she didn’t even think before opening her mouth. This is so stupid.

  15. Unable to answer a question so instead attack the questioner and insult them. Straight from the “how to be an autocrat” handbook.

    Basically what she’s saying by answering those questions with more questions is this:

    “As a Russian, power is everything. I am part of a powerful group, and our leader has absolute power over everything and everyone. Anyone not in our group is weak, and we don’t like the weak. The weak are less than us. You’re weak because you don’t live like we do, and we’re powerful.”

  16. Classic “no you” retort. Fucking A, that’s a level I haven’t experienced since 2nd grade.

  17. Because is a good thing to have several political and different options? Because is a sign of freedom of speech and opinion? Because is healthy to have the freedom to present your opinion to your pairs and if they agree with you implement those as a political party?

    At the end. Because is what a democracy does and a dictatorship doesnt?

  18. Take her kids and expell them from london, and inform her that she can pick them up in Kyiv.

  19. People like Simonjan should be in jail as war criminals, but not the guests of such interviews. Interview just legitimate her as side of discussion. She is not side of discussion, she is a criminal like Goebbels

  21. The next, obvious, question is why pretend to be us with fake elections…

  22. Hilarious. The goon admits Russia is a dictatorship.

  23. She’s wasted in journalism really. With those rhetorical skills she should be playing Call of Duty and debating online teenage players.

  25. Pretend it’s not a problem, then start insulting. Have they moved on from lying now?

  26. Is there a need for a serious opponent, why?

    Well… normally to give the people in your country a fair choice of representatives, so that every group of people can fairly be represented in the government.

    But I fully appreciate the Russian way is fantastic. Who needs fair representation if you can just be suppressed and locked away if you express your opinion about the Ukrainian war? If you’re part of the elite you have nothing to worry about after all.

  27. “Why do you think that you live better than us?”
    Because we have indoor plumbing and you don’t

  28. If your way is the right, why even have a pretend election ya daft bitch. Keep lying to yourself

  29. You know, I do condone freedom of speech. I don’t condone this bitch, who is the personification of ad hominem.

  30. Answering a question with a question speaks volumes here.

    Brainwashed moron

  31. “Why do i need to choose who leads my country” shake my smh

  32. They gave up all pretence of democracy at this point.

  33. Then shut the fuck up about elections. Why do you even hold them?

    You claim to be righteous and democratic not West. When you are reminded of your elaborated role playing you get upset. Bruh. If your way of life normalizes oppression of people and violance of other nation’s soverignity then why the fuck rest of the world tolerate the “way you live”?

    Imagine Nazis coming up and saying, ‘oh, but this is just how we live”

    Fuck your way of life.

  34. “we don’t like you much really”. Oddly satisfying 😂

  37. Alcohol, poverty and corruption. Why sould we live different? Thats all we want.
