Anti-Israeli propaganda had been ramping on Russian state TV in the run up to the incident, but the pogrom was an unintended consequence for the Kremlin. All war long 🇷🇺’s propaganda has been pushing citizens to become furious over a different traitor, a different Western country or institution, etc. The Jews were just supposed to be another enemy of the week. But they’re weren’t expecting viewers to do anything about it.
That’s because the Kremlin is living a parallel existence where life has gone on as normal w/no friends or family lost. Yet Dagestan has lost so many sons to the war, they’re an open nerve: exhausted, scared and enraged and looking to vent. When they’re told who the enemy is, that was a release valve the Kremlin didn’t think about.
Yet the masterminds are so detached they just think “what’s wrongwith you? The jews are only the enemy of the week!” This is not surprising as paradoxically, Russian leaders always assume their TV propaganda will work yet, at the same time, are constantly shocked by how easily the people are brainwashed by the TV.
No doubt, this time they were thinking: “Hey, we’re at war to stop the Nazis, remember?”
