  1. I won't speak for hipsters, I'll speak for myself. These are my biggest complaints against V. V. P. and the system of government that he has built up over the past 16 years and represents.�

    1. The destruction (and so, however, not very developed) of state institutions: the law, Parliament, elections, and after them, private property and all the rest.
    2. Significant infringement of the rights and freedoms of Russian citizens, ranging from freedom of assembly and freedom of speech to freedom of movement.�
    3. Creating a system that encourages and supports the theft and sawing of public funds at all levels. As a result, the $ 3.5 trillion generated by the sale of sharply rising oil prices went mostly to the pockets of friends and comrades (see the Forbes list), instead of, say, completing the implementation of the GOELRO plan.
    4. Destruction of small and medium-sized businesses (not targeted, probably just happened along the way).�
    5. Strong difficulties and sometimes clear opposition to any non-state civic activity, ranging from volunteering to independent NGOs.�
    6. Monopolization of all major federal media outlets by the state and those close to the government and turning them into a means of constant lies, manipulation and propaganda.�
    7. The creation of a system of absolute and demonstrative non-transparency of governance at all levels and the same demonstrative disregard for the interests of citizens, to which has recently been added an equally demonstrative hypocrisy, reaching a purely Orwellian doublethink.�

    Well, the rest is just as a result-education is in the ass even in Moscow, healthcare is in the same place, there is no talk about science and technology development at all, the social sphere – “there is no money, but you hold on”, the rate of brain flight exceeded even the “dashing 90s”.�

    And as for the “line of power aimed at protecting from Western values” mentioned by Max, for some reason, the population under the jurisdiction of this government is mainly protected from Western values, and the authorities themselves, their families and friends are perfectly devoted to these very Western values, buying up real estate and assets in the West and sending children and wives there to live and study.

  2. Well, not all of them, of course, but in general hipsters are Westerners and, often, they are representatives of the so-called creative class, where expressing sympathy for the” gray “and” dense ” course of the party is not comme il faut.�

    In principle, here the question can be asked not specifically about hipsters, but about Westerners in general. But the very meaning of their passion and lifestyle is precisely that they do not specifically dislike Putin, but any line of power aimed at protecting them from Western values. Zhirinovsky, for example, they would not have liked even more.
