'There were no people who wanted to rejoice at the occupation of part of Ukraine for free and without coercion,' activist George Alburov tweeted.
held a rally on Friday and said that Russia would take control of four Ukrainian regions—Kherson, Donetsk, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia—following sham referendums in the partly occupied regions that have been decried by international communities as illegal.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is seen on a screen set at Red Square as he addresses a rally in central Moscow on September 30, 2022 about the annexation of four regions of Ukraine Russian troops occupy - Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. Reports say that fake cheers were added to the footage of the speech and that"supporters" were bussed in.The Russian leader spoke to crowds at a concert that sought to celebrate the claimed annexation of the territories.
On-the-ground clips show a lifeless crowd, with many standing still while holding Russian flags as they watch a speech by Ivan Okhlobystin, an actor and director, as well as a staunch Putin fan. Okhlobystin called Putin's war against Ukraine"holy," and he led battle cries. Edited clips appear to show the audience cheer and applause in response, but the raw footage shared on Telegram shows just several responding positively to his speech.
Unedited footage from Putin’s recent war rally in Moscow appears to show complete indifference among the captive crowd of bussed-in state workers. It seems propagandists added cheers and chants in the editing room. Is anything in Russia not faked?
