I don't read rags that like millionaires and billionaires at all, unless they've posted some misery on the things I'm interested in. So now I've opened Forbes Russia, for an article by a futurist from HSE (for my other thread), and I'm looking at their latest news article with an opinion piece by someone named Gleb Cherkasov. (Forbes Russia are not declared "Western agents", normal, registered media are (which loves billionaires), but, as I see, under some of their articles that mention the "special military operation" have a clarification:
"* According to the requirement of Roskomnadzor, when preparing materials about a special operation in the east of Ukraine, all Russian media are required to use information only from official sources of the Russian Federation. We cannot publish materials in which the operation is called an "attack", "invasion" or "declaration of war", unless it is a direct quote (Article 57 of the Federal Law on Mass Media). In case of violation of the requirement, a fine of 5 million rubles may be levied from the media, and the publication may also be blocked."
Well, it should mean,"we want to, but we can't say it." In my opinion: it should look like it means that. As well as what all "anti-Russian and pro-western" Russian publications, "foreign agents" and so on say. I don't read them at all and never post them. But, not because they are "anti-Russian" and therefore compromised, but because all of them, along with the mainstream and a large part of the alt-media (western, Russian, and any other), are - intended or unintentional - participants in NWO propaganda, which, each in different ways, carries out the big lie that the East and the West do not have the same transhumanist plan for the future. So the "anti-Russian" rags do the same, not noting and not criticizing Russia for the implementation and plans for great reset that are taking place there, or if they do, they "forget" to mention that the West is doing the same, not to mention the common origin of the supposedly different Western and Eastern roads, as well as the agreements between them, including nowadays, in the implementation of which they are progressing.
So I don't read them, the same way I don't read the Western (or any) mainstream, except to look for what lies they've published, things that are important to the development of the so-called Great Reset. But this is the opinion expressed on the pages of Forbes Russia, this Cherkasov.
Власти могут объявить окончание «Марша справедливости» своей безоговорочной победой, которой не могло не быть. Однако оргвыводы все равно последуют. Журналист Глеб Черкасов считает, что перемены коснутся прежде всего информационной сферы

Networks of rebellion: why the performance of "Wagner" will change the Kremlin's information policy
Gleb Cherkasov
The authorities can declare the end of the "March of Justice" their unconditional victory, which could not have been. However, the organizational issues will still follow. Journalist Gleb Cherkasov believes that the changes will primarily affect the information sphere
After the tragedy in Beslan, the elections of heads of regions and in single-mandate districts in the State Duma were canceled (then both were returned). One of the consequences of the marsh protests was the May 2012 decrees. The government always reacts to a crisis, but it does it in such a way that it does not feel as if it has caved in. This is Vladimir Putin's signature style — never to show anyone that he can be pressured. And vice versa — to propose asymmetric measures to eliminate the identified shortcomings.
Consider it a victory
Sometimes you can not admit failures, but consider them victories. After the end of Yevgeny Prigozhin's one-day benefit, the country's leadership has the greatest temptation to declare everything that happened its success. Arguments are not difficult to pick up. The march has been stopped, the formations of the Wagner PMCs have been returned to the camps, Prigozhin will leave the public field for some time. The whole vertical cheerfully saluted by the middle of Saturday afternoon. None of those who enjoyed friendship with Prigozhin until the most recent events supported him.
However, such an interpretation of events does not exclude consequences and organizational issues that will not formally be associated with the march of the "Wagnerians" to Moscow. But in fact, they will become a reaction of the system to the experience of June 23-24.
It finally turned out that if a person is given not only material and information resources, but also the opportunity to dispose of them uncontrollably, reporting only to the chief, sooner or later his interests will come into conflict with the interests of other appointees. And if this person is ready to change the rules of the game by his hand, then he immediately becomes very dangerous for other, more cautious players. Before starting the battle with the Minister of Defense and the Chief of the General Staff, Prigozhin wiped his feet on the Governor of St. Petersburg Alexander Beglov in the same style. Precisely because he was much better able to use the information opportunities provided to him. Well, in terms of PR moves, his talents have been tested by more than one campaign.
Now, probably, control over the use of resources entrusted to one or another subject of economic and political activity will be tightened. Especially with regard to the information sphere.
Unnecessary information
For two days in June, it turned out that, despite all the efforts of previous years, there is a lot of information and it circulates quite well. The government has a controlling stake in the formation of the news agenda and the information space, but it is not possible to close everything. And it has not yet been possible to make sure that everyone sees and hears what he is supposed to see and hear. And the old faithful friend TV is not an assistant here, because it has become heavy on the rise.
Quite a popular entertainment during these hours was the pieces of social network users over the peaceful agenda of TV channels. It was clear that many years of relative calm did not allow us to turn to the emergency format quickly. Or, which is also likely, the people responsible for setting the parameters of event coverage did not have time to figure out what it should look like.
The TV has really lost quite a lot to the Internet, and since TV channels can no longer become different, the network will have to change.
How convenient it would be for the authors of the news agenda if citizens from the Rostov and Voronezh regions did not have the opportunity to tell their friends that the "March of Justice" passed by them. Or if there were no shots with the residents of Rostov-on-Don, peacefully conversing with the "Wagnerians". There is no picture, there is no message — there are no questions about how it turned out that the military column quite calmly reached almost Moscow in a day. Or what was the essence of Prigozhin's claims to the authorities.
It would seem that the rules are already being tightened regularly, but now we can talk about a fundamental change in the formation of the information space. And it would be in the style of the system's reaction to the identified problem.
Moreover, the occasion is quite appropriate. Noting the removal — maybe temporary, maybe permanent — of Yevgeny Prigozhin, who played well in the information field, it is possible to build up the field itself. So that no one would be tempted to follow the example of the Wagner PMCs and its head. For example, rumors that Telegram will be placed under stricter control of the Russian authorities or companies affiliated with them may turn out to be quite a realistic forecast."

This is the opinion of Cherkasov expressed in Forbes (Russia). Of course, without I checking, he probably dismisses plandemia and the Great Reset as "conspiracy theories" and most likely likes digitalization and so on, like Progres and so on. Forbes certainly does (even Forbes Russia, which, again, is not a "foreign agent", but a regular, registered media.)
So, putting that aside, and considering that the "coup attempt" is an organized performance to extract just such 'great reset measures' for tightening and "consolidation", Cherkasov should be right. I'll see you soon. There will be some benefit from the " coup attempt." I didn't mention the "martial law" because they said it would be lifted soon. But some measures are likely to follow, though.
Let us not forget and this "coincidence", two days before the "great attempt at Rebellion" (Putin called it an attempt at Rebellion...*more precisely:
"military mutiny"), from the
front post:
"On June 22, 2023, the inter–ministerial consultations of the CIS member states on international information security (IIB) were held in Moscow under the chairmanship of the Russian side.
...
The emphasis is on strengthening cooperation on specialized UN platforms – in the Open–ended Working Group on Security in the Field of ICT Use 2021-2025, the Special Committee for the Elaboration of a Universal Convention on Countering the Use of ICT for Criminal Purposes, as well as in the International Telecommunication Union and the Universal Postal Union. The issues of internationalization of Internet network management were discussed."

Interesting. Exactly what on the official level is certainly interpreted as "the use of ICT for criminal purposes", and very loud and big, happened two days later.
Isn't it a circus?
Because some specialists in analysis of Russia, and not from those of the "5D" sector, but precisely the others, the sober ones (above all some Squat-ting bloggers and their Rollo-ing brothers), are trying with all their strength to urge us to look seriously at the complex event of the "uprising", as a completely real event. Why is that? Are they stupid or have a hidden purpose?
*However, the cool thing is that a significant portion of their readers actually do not succumb to these attempts at persuasion.
