Putin Faces Second Revolt as Russian Officials Slam War, Demand Resignation Brendan Cole | 10 September 2022 AMoscow municipality has become the second Russian local authority this week to take the risk of calling for Vladimir Putin's resignation. Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin in Moscow on September 9, 2022. The letter addressed to the president by council deputies at Lomonosovsky Municipal District did not directly mention Putin's invasion of Ukraine, but did refer to how Russia had now become "feared and hated" while "aggression" has taken the country back to the "Cold War era." The letter also made a pointed criticism of the length of Putin's presidency, describing how following local Moscow elections on Sunday, it was a good thing that the council's membership would change after five years. "In countries with regular turnover of power, people, on average, live better and longer than in those where the leader leaves office carried out in a box," it said. Putin became president in 2000, a role he has held apart from four years between 2008 and 2012, when Dmitry Medvedev took over in what was seen globally as a move just to keep his seat warm. Upon resuming the presidency in 2012, the Russian constitution has been changed to allow him to potentially stay as head of state until 2036. The missive went on to say there had been "good reforms" in the first and part of the second of Putin's terms, but after that "somehow everything went wrong." It referred to Russia's brain drain, how the minimum wage and GDP did not rise enough and the "promised stability is not in sight." "The rhetoric that you and your subordinates are using has been riddled with intolerance and aggression for a long time, which in the end effectively threw our country back into the Cold War era," the letter said. "Russia has again begun to be feared and hated, we again threaten the whole world with nuclear weapons," it added. "We ask you to relieve yourself of your post due to the fact that your views, your management model are hopelessly outdated and hinder the development of Russia and its human potential." Journalist and Russia watcher Julia Davis tweeted how the council had voted on the motion and produced the letter, which was also reported by the independent Russian-language news outlet The Insider. "Criticism of Putin is rare, & while the two motions were little more than symbolic statements, they represented a remarkable public rebuke," Davis wrote. Newsweek has contacted the Kremlin and Lomonosovsky Municipal District Council for comment. Criticizing Putin so brazenly carries a considerable risk where dissent can lead to imprisonment or worse. Police in St Petersburg have said they would charge lawmakers at Smolninsky District Council in Putin's home town after they called for the president to be charged with treason. The district council's statement came in the form of a request to the Russian parliament, the State Duma, and said Putin's invasion led to a massive loss of life, disabled veterans, hindered the national economy, and fast-tracked NATO's eastward expansion. Police said they face charges linked to "discrediting" the Russian government, Poster Comment: In Russia there is no First Amendment.

BS. MSN is the source. Putin is a lot more popular than any American President in modern times. The shops are full of everything. Prices for them are down because they pay in rubles. The US is at war with Russia because Wall Street and Israel rule the world. Bidet is demanding sanctions that are destroying Europe's economy. That will take the US down too.

We used to have one here in the US, but it's been largely ignored lately, along with the 2nd, 4th, 5th, and probably a few more. If the psychos and misfits running our government weren't so intent on putting us on a path to nuclear Armageddon, there would be no war in Ukraine. Which is to say it's an unfree country. There are consequences for challenging his Most Serene And Benevolent Czarness.

Bidette's actions are driving the Russians into the arms of the Chinese. If nothing else that will hasten the new BRICS economy and SWIFT and the U.S. Federal Reserve will quickly go in the toilet. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
That's the minimum of what could happen. The lunatics in charge appear to wish to see mushroom clouds across the planet. The more they push the eastward expansion of NATO, the more irritated the Russians are becoming. But the initial invasion of Ukraine gleaned some good results for the Russians since they eliminated the bio-weapons labs that were sent there from Ft. Detrick, Maryland. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
How many times did Trump take the 5th when Congress had him on the hot seat? The FBI raid on Mar-A-Lago was a travesty of justice over some papers he had the right to declassified as POTUS. It is plain as the nose on your face the Dims have been out to get him. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Trump put people back to work and even had oil exports. Now Bidette has been begging the Saudis to increase production. That begs the question of just who is doing us right? ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
The people in Russia who oppose Putin say he is not doing enough to take down Zelensky.
