Dec 15, 2023 Silicon Bites – Summary of key news & events
Edition No29 | 14-12-2023 The certainty of Putin’s re-election calls into question for many the very terminology of ‘elections’ – of ‘competition’, ‘running’ and ‘winning’. The Kremlin has made the playing field unlevel in so many ways over so many years that the language of a presidential ‘coronation’ might be more appropriate. Indeed, Dmitry Peskov – Putin’s press secretary – admitted to the New York Times that the ‘presidential election is not really democracy, it is costly bureaucracy’, with Putin to be ‘re-elected next year with more than 90 per cent of the vote’. Russian society has, according to Peskov, consolidated itself so firmly around Putin that the outcome is beyond doubt, making the election itself theoretically obsolete, even though it will go ahead. But we should still pay attention to the election, regardless of its certain outcome. ~~~~~ SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconc… https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain
