Russia: Putin’s propaganda machine – Manipulating the people | DW Documentary

On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. Many Russians supported the move at the time. Others silently rejected what was described as a “special operation”, which Putin claimed would “de-Nazify” a former sister nation.

Years of indoctrination and propaganda, a single-party rule that muzzles the media – this film investigates how Russians under Putin have fallen silent, and why no one has pulled the political ripcord.

Although the international community continues to be horrified by this brutal, anachronistic war in the heart of Europe, most Russians back Putin’s “special operation”. The film is an unprecedented journey into the heart of a brainwashed, intimidated society and an in-depth investigation into the inner workings of Russia’s repressive machine.

  5. DW the German propaganda machine which even their Nazi forefathers would envy. When will DW ask Scholz how he greenlit the Americans to blowup their Nord Stream pipelines and plunge Germany into deindustrialization and recession?

  6. Where is Varya’s father? He’s nowhere to be found during the interview. A nonfunctional drunken men like many Russians? Probably yeah.

  9. Russian kids being taught to hate other nations at the early age. Look for "russian skinheads" on youtube, those are group of russian teenagers calling themselves as "skinheads" targeting foreigners to beat and kill them at most. 😢😢😢 Unfortunately, it is not safe place to live in

  12. OMG, i'm shocked. I never imagined the brainwash to be on such a level. It is extremely worse, the future is grimm

  16. Why the biggest country in the world wants to keep expanding I don’t understand 😹 they have so much natural resources and land , Russia should be thriving but they just wasting their resources and men lives on stupid war… like even the people in Ukraine that want to reunify with Russia,
    is it really worth all this destruction and war just to join Russia ? ….

  24. Putin suggested women should ''help the country'' by having larger families… preferably 10+ kids!
    That's how many births they need to recover from their current ''meat waves'' military strategy… so that they can continue doing this in the future!

  26. This is some crazy propaganda. Everything is allegedly when it comes to the crimes Russia says Ukraine has committed. But with Russia it’s a fact. And you’re French ? Doesn’t the French have the biggest issue with Russia now that France has lost most of its African colonies? And the Africans have accepted the Russians. Could it be that ? I don’t know. Just asking

  28. This is baffling. Russia is literally Europe and yet they still have this Empire mindset. From the Far-left to the Far-right in only 30ish years is jaw dropping.

  33. oh same documentary. against putin. how many need you documentary for brain wash against putin? we knew it. iraq attacked was totally wrong. but, you didn't make documentary against your father.

  36. These people are insane how can you wage war and use God and think the lord is with them, putin is God to them sad.

  38. Propaganda, yes. And we can't compete with it. Britain, America. They can't invoke that type of patriotism anymore, it just does not exist.

  39. It's not that much propaganda, if you know the facts behind. I can understand Putin and Zelensky in one way. I also understand greedy USA and NATO and money laundering behind. If you check all the facts, Putin's reaction is natural and 90% of presidents will do the same. NATO was established to fight the Soviets and still exist and no one will stop the organization, because it is very valuable for all the military companies. And when Putin asked to join Nato, of course he was rejected. Same as peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. So now ask yourself about propaganda? It's sad because DW did a poor job to check the facts about everything.

  40. Russia is on the right path..bcz the west has been ruling the rest of us by force they didn't have to use propaganda as they controlled world mainstream media…wait until west collapse starts economically they will have a hard time confronting their own population and only propaganda will help

  42. Shame to Western Media! Shame to DW! They were mouth Shut while Russia Invaded Chechnya and Performing a Genocide! Actually Russia was supported by the West. now They are silent about Israel and Palestine. They are Celebrating while Ukrainians are Dying in Hundreds! Shame on you ! Shame on the West.

  47. This is terrible! Thank GOD (who is definitely real) that Amerikkka never did ANY of these things! I am so glad that our JUSTIFIED 'special military operations in Iraq, Panama, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Afghanistan' were PERFECT because we delivered 'American Freedom' 100%!!!!! BUT WHEN RUSSIA DOES IT ITS TERRIBLE!!!! Go Amerikka Go!!!! YEAAAAH RRAAAHHHH
