It will be interesting to see if a young female protest can get traction or what kind of tricks putin gonna use in that case. He is already paying some widows to silence them. He set up a woman moderation (Olga Skabeyeva) next to an ultranationilst male voice on state TV (seen in the video as well) and let them act out the family constellation in a modern russian family in putins ruski mir: He is spewing the most heinous allegations and is always on an angry edge as he is living through the sucess off his past, and now imitating a warrior in the ruins of his biography. She is his back. Tuned into his view to not further anger him like in a Scheherazade. She obeys and mimics the modern wife that stands firm by the patriarchs side even he is aggressive. “Like every good russian woman should do. “

It runs in weekly episodes like a telenovela but in a political theater piece, served at primetime without any alternative, as all the channels are controlled by the Russian state media.

It has too been seen if russian woman can escape this TV play when it get molded and expected from every female friend you have as a woman in the last 15 years.

Mostly older woman, like the babushka in the video, were the voice that ended afghanistan. These woman are mostly dead now. The one we expect it now from, were casted into a socialitarian role that is much harder to break than that mold of 1989, within a soviet state already on a death bed.

Feminism and woman rights were cut back and crippled in the last 15 Years. Putin knew that he has to put homosexuality equal to feminism in his hateful doctrine to crush the grassroots for any organized woman protest. Pussy Riot was just the bear putin lead through the ring, to make it clear for everyone, how woman protest will be handled.

Better become like Olga frim the TV: Obey, voice down, tune in. Receive minimal repercussions. It is expected of you.
