Famous blogger and urbanist Maxim Katz told what he thinks about the war Bashny.Net

Many Russian journalists, activists and politicians left Russia after the war with Ukraine broke out. Famous political and public figure Maxim Katz now. He is also abroad. He admitted to his audience that he could have stayed, but then he would have had to keep quiet about what was happening. Therefore, he decided that it was better to leave to be able to freely cover what is happening in Ukraine and Russia.

In recent months, Maxim Katz’s YouTub channel has almost doubled, the number of subscribers has exceeded one million people. The topics that this Russian opposition politician raises every day were very important for a huge number of people. And his predictions, based on logical analysis of the situation, come true with amazing accuracy.



Of course, lately interest in the reasoning of Maxim Katz has only grown. He also spoke more often with foreign journalists. For example, recently the blogger answered some questions of journalists of the Ukrainian TV channel ICTV. We offer to learn the opinion of Maxim Katz about the war between Russia and Ukraine.



Why do Russians support the war? Right now, the Russians do not see how they can influence this situation. But they see threats to themselves personally if they take the wrong position. After all, every iron shouts that dissenters are imprisoned for 15 years. Also from each iron shout that all Russians are for the war. This is far from the case.”

“But the average person gets the impression that he is one against and everyone else is for it. That if he tried to do something, he would just go to jail and nothing would change. Therefore, when asked what a person thinks about the situation, he tries to give a socially approved answer. Someone repeats the stamps from the TV so as not to get hurt. Someone is improvising in the same way.”

“But it should be noted that many people speak out.” war. They say directly and openly on camera in Moscow that they are against it. And there are half of them among the respondents, which is very many in this depressing situation, which I described, says Maxim.



Why war on the Russian leadership? By 2012, Russia had reached the middle-income trap. Further economic development became impossible without adequate political reforms. The government faced a choice: either develop a country with democracy, fair courts and a changeable government, or cling to the chair to the last, sacrificing economic development. They chose the second way, and the development of the country stopped.”



Since then, Putin has had to periodically explain to Russians why they need such a president. At first there were talks about the return of former greatness, which were “rolled” at the level of rhetoric. Then it stopped working. And then Crimea happened... This has caused a lot of patriotism.”

“Over time, that too dried up. Money became less and less, pension reform took place, questions began to arise again. Why do we need Putin, who is already in his 70s and who is completely detached from reality? No one would take him to the bank as a clerk, he doesn’t even know how to use a computer. Which one is the president?



Apparently, Putin consulted his “wonderful” advisers, who also formed their worldview around the 70s of the last century. Now these people would have to go to the forest with their grandchildren to collect mushrooms and there tell their vision of a bipolar world and other bayda.

But since today these people hold power in Russia, they consulted and decided everything. They decided that they would take Kiev in three days, that they would hold a parade there, that no one would resist. There will be a patriotic upsurge again. But the whole plan failed. And now the Russians will have new questions to the authorities.



With any opening of the media field in Russia, people will start asking a lot of questions. Why did we do all this? What was the plan? Why did we come here? Why did we break up cities? Why were we shooting tanks at residential areas? Why did our army do that? Why did the cruiser sink? – predicts future questions of the opposition.
