Based on my knowledge by my own example, how the police behavior began to change in the direction of totalitarian terror in recent weeks, I certainly believe every word.
Moreover, I am sure that now all this is very long. Perhaps even forever. The previous regime was 70 years in isolation. And with the current technological capabilities and the presence of a market economy, this can continue for as long as you like.
...
Things have really started to change over the past weeks. The police were exactly what allowed the authorities to start behaving "bolder" and "bolder". Now it is possible and even necessary to be a reference participant in the "police state", otherwise everyone has completely lost fear. Because it is necessary. For intimidation.
In the short term, fear is simply trite to run society. And no one thinks about long-term. And those who think about it are sure that everything will be fine. Because it is necessary.
In addition, it is Russia that has vast experience in managing society, built on fear. You can always repeat the most successful and least cannibalistic models, so that now there are no more ugly pictures and new collective psychotraumas.
And most importantly, one must always take into account the fact that a huge number of Russian officials have been studying public administration skills in Singapore for a very long time and intensively. In the most exemplary totalitarian Disneyland in the world.
