Фарида Рустамова: «Важнее никогда не было»//«Скажи Гордеевой. Что будет дальше»

This is the final part of our political special project "What's Next." Here we're trying to understand the political structure of our country and, along with those who know more than we do, predict what the future holds for the country we all have to live in. The heroine of this episode is Farida Rustamova: she worked at "Gazeta.ru," RBC, and Meduza. But in 2022, shortly after the war began, she decided to organize her media. Thus, the Telegram channel Faridaily was born. #скажигордеевой #faridaily #чтобудетдальше Content: 00:00 "I sound like a Hanoverian patriot" 2:28 "Since 2017, they've been steadily increasing the military budget" 5:16 Why didn't the elites oppose the war? 7:47 "Kudrin told Putin that the war would set the economy back to the early 1990s" 9:14 "I hear people saying the war is good for us, we've never been so united as we are now" 11:28 "The Kremlin towers don't exist" 13:41 Can you call Putin on his mobile phone? 14:58 "Putin likes to cultivate the image of a workaholic, but he loves to relax" 15:45 "There's a theory that Putin is a strong, big, healthy man.
