Everyone is bad - how 'foreign agent' Dudya whitewashes Russia's aggression.

Recently, the opposition Russian blogger Yuri Dud, despite facing persecution from the authorities of his country, spreads the Russian narrative in his videos. In a recent video interview with the former US ambassador to Russia, Dud tried to justify Russia's war against Ukraine by referring to the military operation of the western coalition in Iraq in 2003.

After the start of the war of Russia against Ukraine, Yuri Dud left the Russian Federation, obtained 'foreign agent' status and was even placed on the international wanted list. However, all these sanctions from Putin do not prevent him from promoting narratives that are beneficial to the Kremlin, including justifying Russian aggression against Ukraine.

In his video interview with the former US ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, Dud decided to compare the war started by Putin against Ukraine with the military operation of the coalition in Iraq against the dictator Saddam Hussein. This 'everyone is bad' technology was revealed in his book about Russian cinema at the service of the Kremlin, another Russian emigrant, Anton Dolin.

What is the 'everyone is bad’ technology

Film director of 'Night Watch' Timur Bekmambetov, pointing to the two ‘watches’ as fantasy special services, through this technology, played into the hands of the Kremlin and the FSB, discrediting others. Thus, in a case where 'everyone is bad', Russians supported 'their own', in particular, Putin. Dud's guest, former ambassador McFaul, revealed this manipulation and reminded that the reasons for the operation of the western coalition in Iraq differ from the Kremlin's aggression against Ukraine.

It is worth noting that earlier, Yuri Dud gave an interview to a fugitive from Ukraine, pop musician Potap, and sold his property in Moscow without any issues.

During the video interview, blogger Yuri Dud tried to justify the actions of the Russian government in the war against Ukraine, using the 'everyone is bad' method noted by former US ambassador Michael McFaul. This technique allows for the creation of a certain narrative and maintaining loyalty to the Kremlin. Despite the restrictions and persecution from the Russian government, Dud continues to actively spread his views and ideas through his own videos.
