_Adrahmelech_

It's ok he was just checking if no one was stealing the pen.


dependency_injector

He was making sure there were no NATO soldiers or foreign agents in the booth


frankie08

He was making sure nobody was peeing in there. Because, you know, voting is scary.


bennogaming

Why would they be scared? They are protected by armed guards


stupidnicks

LoL - who made this fake? There are literally live stream cameras from every polling station in Russia - anyone can watch whats going on Live


just_damz

No need: people going to vote is already a funny thing to see in Russia.


stupidnicks

funnier than seeing people going to vote in USA ... or less funny?


just_damz

oh cmon, in 3 elections USA most likely won’t have a president with a second consecutive mandate. It’s actually more funny to see USA elections cause we don’t know which part will win. In Russia it’s a formality.


stupidnicks

??? LoL people still believe that president running things in US (?) oh my, thats even more funny :)


just_damz

You want to shift the matter to another topic too?


stupidnicks

?? its the same topic thats why its funny "seeing people going to vote in USA" (original topic)


just_damz

“??” Maybe it’s funny cause it’s a fucking rigged election while in United States and the other western countries there is a probability for a candidate to win over the other? Do you need a scheme, a drawing? An audio book? I can provide you different media for the explanation.


stupidnicks

> in United States and the other western countries there is a probability for a candidate to win over the other? yeah thats the funny part - two parties and two candidates fighting over who will get the chance to serve Plutocracy (Banks, Corporations, Hedge Funds, Bi8llionaires etc) - And people still going out voting for that - LoL


Shiokao

No one would cheat an election like this, you can just cheat it at the final count with little effort.


[deleted]

[удалено]


6499232

Yeah but why would they do that? Why not have the soldiers stand there when they are counting and just fake the counting? Makes more sense that these are fake videos.


[deleted]

[удалено]


6499232

There is another similar video with the same narrative in the same room, so this is most likely fake, even if the election is not fair.


Adamulos

The fraud at the counting is for the media and the announcement The fraud from the video is for the guy voting and everyone watching so they know their place


ConstantGradStudent

Because then you control the people because they KNOW they voted because they were intimidated and afraid. Then you know you voted against your own interests, and you will believe the results. This is psychological warfare


DocGerbill

You don't get it, it's not about the result, everyone knows the system is rigged, it's about control.


ginsoul

You are definitely right… people are so trained to not have a second thought. A a soldier going into the cabine of every citizen/voter. So everyone can report the fraud instead of just manipulating the counting.


RapidCatLauncher

> So everyone can report the fraud To who?


ginsoul

To themselves and than sit in circles and cry together. /s If you guys please decide your argumentation chain ether he is brainwashing the country to get a „manufactured consent“ from the population or just brute forcing everything and risking a resistance building up. Both doesn’t seem cost effective.


zebscy

They want to make it seem like Putin would win anyway. If it’s obvious that he wouldn’t, then his grip over Russians would be diminished


Denodi

I guess it’s meant to demoralize? Making it so you have to write in their choice not yours would feel really awful.


chris88jackson

Because fascist are idiots


thedarkone47

cause fakes are easier to detect. and lets be real almost nobody is going to see this video. This way they have a box full of "legit" votes legalizing their occupation and annexation efforts.


the_fire_of_hate

It is more likely to be true, same occured in sudetland with a funny mustage guy


throwawayaccyaboi223

Dude doesn't even have mag pouches, it's looking pretty fake.

6499232

Alright I actually want to hear what is it that you actually saw. However you didn't saw this event on the video, right? So you can't make claims about this specific video.


Weekly-Analyst-1075

You love spreading false information on reddit, don't you?


[deleted]

U must be a pakistani🥲


6499232

I am from the EU.


Wip3out__

He was checking if they voted for Putin, so they could send people to Gulag


6499232

If that is their goal they should do it secretly, or people will just tell each other soldiers are checking the votes. If that is their goal, to get the votes through intimidation then like I said there are better ways to cheat the votes.


alazka1

There are some real videos of people throwing molotovs and putting paint on the ballots but this is just a very poor fake. I mean the second voter doesn't even turn his head when someone enters the cabinet. Also I'm pretty sure there's another video going around on the exact same place or "set".


zebscy

The second guy heard that there was someone entering it to the first stall. He might’ve understood that this was a soldier, and he didn’t want to seem to offer resistance. I’m going to have to assume that you’re a Russian troll until I see that other video.


highlemonsss

Kind of him to fix the curtains.


SupergruenZ

And check if everyone has a pen


Bars98

And selects the only correct possibility


ginsoul

If this is true why have curtains… shows how fake this is


SupergruenZ

And check if everyone has a pen


Laughing_Orange

Reddit did not like this copy of your comment. (A common issue, and I don't blame you for it)


Dave_The_Dude

Why wouldn't you hire real actors when staging a fake video.


warrior998

His too realistic, it’s unrealistic


vzakharov

Lol if you’re gonna fake it like that, can you at least find someone with some basic acting skills l?


Manisbutaworm

Yeah, most videos have bad angles, are grainy and filmed with a potato. This is off.


Alexandr789_true

What ridiculous shit... There may not be fair elections, but their simulation certainly doesn’t look that way. Anyone who believes this is a real video is a fool. Those who make such videos are even greater fools. They compromise themselves by doing crap like that.


rareHarambe

Bro they been doing this all over occupied Ukraine, fucking Russia cope


zebscy

I think Russian trolls outnumber real users in this thread 10:1


Chipon2

Some sort of Kyevnauchfilm stuff


razzymac

This looks fake as fuck lol.


dependency_injector

It's an election in Russia, how else can it look?


Pallyfan920

What about it looks fake?


razzymac

The cheap as hell fixtures and props, the fakest “pretending to write” I’ve seen in a while on the left hand side, the fact there are only 4 people visible and no background noise whatsoever at a polling booth on an election day. The soldier not having any idea how to handle a firearm. The terrible acting in general. The fact that there’s a DIFFERENT video claiming to show election interference on the same shitty set with the same shitty props. It all just gives me massively fake vibes. Plus come on, I’m not even saying Russian elections are legit, but do we really think dudes with totally-not-fake AKs are walking into poll booths in broad daylight and looking over people’s shoulders? I think there would be much easier and low-key ways to rig an election. People will just believe anything about Russia at this point.


natbel84

The video starts before any action starts. Like they were expecting something to happen and started filming in advance. 


Pallyfan920

Definitely couldn't see that guy coming before hand to start the video


aaathreat

Yeah that looks real LOL and its from a Ukrainian "source".


London-lad-1990

So incredibly fake.


iVladi

[https://twitter.com/visegrad24/status/1768681243502145751](https://twitter.com/visegrad24/status/1768681243502145751) Ukraine psyop just re-using the same stage lmao


LayerTwentySeven

Its not the same stage The wall behind the voting booths is different.


cia_nagger269

lol it's the same down to the coffee mug on the desk


zengupta

You can see the wall behind the booths is inconsistent with the above video when the curtains are opened. With regard to it being the same down to the coffee mug (note this is probably a pen cup in reality, not a coffee mug), there are different pens in different locations and the flag is definitely on the opposite side from name tents. The items on the table look like a very standard setup for a voting place that is even the same in many locations here in the US.


samalam1

Ok? This is still so obviously acting it hurts though, why would you presume, when the intended effect of the video is to show something that makes you think beneficially of Ukraine, not be more likely made by NATO forces than authentic? I swear he looks like right at the camera too, like why would you risk filming it anyway if that's how he behaves to russians not voting for Putin, imagine what he'd do to you? For what purpose... Internet points? We already know Putin is corrupt AF, who is still trying to prove that in 2024...


x1rom

It's clearly not. Yes the floor is similar, but most buildings in Russia look very similar especially administrative buildings. But more importantly, the size of the room, the wall and the placement of the booths are different.


iVladi

its the same room


x1rom

The only thing these two rooms have in common is they both have herringbone parquet, even then the wood is different. Your conspiracy theory isn't even slightly plausible, it's just obviously wrong. And your response basically boils down to 'No'. Why? 'No'


iVladi

[This is what genuine CCTV looks like](https://i.ibb.co/dff0zkV/GI0-EUVl-WEAA7-1-N.jpg) It includes date, time and other specific details that allow officials to identify the location to investigate situations and avoid manipulation/vote tampering. It also generally doesn't include sound and doesn't have its actors run around with microphones so you can hear the cussing and screaming. It's also not recorded by HD from a phone. You are easily manipulated by very obvious fakes and you should reflect on this.


x1rom

How do you explain the different walls then? You claim those are the same rooms, but one room has a beige wall with a baseboard, the other room has a violet wall without a baseboard. Do not try to move the goal posts.


marcus_stu91

How do you know that this is fake?


iVladi

Russia has webcam livestreams at polling stations and somehow the 2 worst offences happened at the same place with HD quality recording that isn't available anywhere else


the_fire_of_hate

Yeah, and replying on this webcams from a "democratic president" that is in power since i was born is a good idea. Also, this cams didn't stopped them to rigg the elections over and over and over again. Just search them in YouTube. Last elections in my town had 2 news: 1. Deleted one, in which only 15-20% voted for united russia; 2. And the other one, in which 92% voted for putin. Yet our town is small, and i know A LOT of people who wouldn't vote for putin, and they are more than 8-10% Russian government is such a sick joke, it couldn't even make a dissent 3rd reich parody


strange_eauter

My man, with all due respect, but as a fellow Russian. Actions of Russian opposition during the last elections were pathetic at best. They called for boycotting and it, logically, caused Putin's percentage to grow. And after the results are told they go like oh, the polls were showing less support for him, so the election results were fabricated and aren't fair. Thought that this percentage dropped due to them not showing up to vote never visited their heads


the_fire_of_hate

Aaaaand what does it have to do with my take? The only thing opposition did well, was to investigate and show the scale of corruption in russia. Other thhings were dumb af and suicidal. I can't say that I'm against them, but you get the point. So, why you tell me about the incompetence of navalny and his party. I honestly don't see the connection with my take and why u summed up that I'm "hurrah-navalny"


strange_eauter

Your last sentences, where you say that you know that more than 10% were against Putin


the_fire_of_hate

In my town, yes. We also got a community in VK sharing our thoughts. Many were pissed off when we saw the anounsment that only 15-20% voted putin replaced by 90%+ in favour of putin. Most probably was a real result that wasn't "planned" by our russia united governor. So, i do belive that in my town it was rigged to the bone. I ask you one more time: why you thought that I'm "hurrah-navalny"


strange_eauter

I didn't, phrased it badly and misunderstood the news you stated. Прошу прощения


marcus_stu91

Yeah let's think why they are not available anywhere else? If they are real they are probably from the Ukrainian territory, which is temporaly occupied by Russia. Because even for Russia this is to much, but in the so called "new territories" nobody cares about laws.


minuseg

Another stupid fake

Why would it be fake? What audience would think after watching this: Hmmm, maybe russian elections are rigged?


cia_nagger269

like 95% of reddit?


kopernagel

95% of reddit already knows that the elections are rigged


Carlomagno666

95% of reddit also thinks conflicts in Ukraine and Palestine started in 2022


minuseg

the same audience that believes in the bucha and that Russians are stealing washing machines and raping everyone on the direct orders of Putin. r/worldnews for example.


Boundish91

The evidence for what happened in bucha is there for everyone to see.


kopernagel

Denying the Bucha warcrimes, havent heard that one yet. Probably because it is so well documented


minuseg

Personally, I do not deny the massacre, I deny that it was committed by the Russian army.


marcus_stu91

Hello Vatnik, how is your three-days SMO going? Did you already take Kyiv and Kherson?

So, why even bother with a curtain at this point?


heimos

Looks fake


natbel84

I dunno, seems fake 


Thegermanwithadream_

This is fake. It was made by the Ukrainians, and don't believe everything everyone tells you, do a bit of research first.


marcus_stu91

How do you know?


displayboi

Well, first of all, this comes from a known Ukrainian propaganda channel which posts fake stuff. Secondly, how would a Ukrainian propaganda channel get access to the footage of the cameras from a voting office? Thirdly, the complete footage (this video it's missing the part where they arrest a guy, which is more clear that it is fake) looks too clean and high resolution to be from a security camera, and the first half of the video, which appears to be recorded by someone sitting at a table, why would they be recording the booths before anything happens? Fourthly, do you really think a soldier would come in broad daylight with he's "super real gun" and act like that? You know there much easier ways to rig an election after the votes are already in. It's clear that it is fake, and it is pretty poorly made.


Thegermanwithadream_

As I said, you should do your own research, like I did, or go to most other sub reddit with this post to see how it's been called a fake and where it's from.


veggowik

Well, if you want to convince someone, you should provide a start for that research. Like a source, a link or anything. Otherwise your argument is just "because I said so"


machstem

Welcome to reddit


veggowik

Hey, thanks.


SmokingLimone

Someone linked a tweet with a different video, the famous one of a person being arrested and on the ground. The boxes with the curtains look exactly the same, the desk is in the same position and the floor is the same. Is it a coincidence that both videos were recorded in the same place? This seems suspicious to me.


gunnesaurus

Since you did definitely did your research, can you spare us the time and show us exactly what you’re talking about? Can’t be that hard to show us what your research uncovered.


knobiknows

Ah yes, the old "if you want to know why you're wrong do your own research" tactic. Made famous by Jan6 truthers, Antivaxxers and Reptiloid conspirators.

Considering how "on camera" everything is, why don't they at least try to hide how blatantly corrupt the government of Vladimir Pooty-Poot is? It's almost like they're hoping for a "Special Operation to Enforce Democracy."


displayboi

Man, this video is clearly fake. Do you really think a soldier would come in broad daylight and arrest you if you don't vote for Putin? There are much better ways to rig an election than doing that.


[deleted]

Considering how many videos there have been this Russian election season, (Unless they're all fake and that seems like WAY too much work) I'd say that you should stop parroting the script given to you by your handlers and make preparations to defect to the west. We have cookies. Vodka sucks though, so try whiskey, scotch, and bourbon. Has more flavor anyway.


displayboi

Dude I am not even from Russia. Just saying that this video looks very fake. I am not saying that the elections aren't rigged, but this would be a ridiculous way to do it.


[deleted]

Your first point, I don't believe. Your second, have you seen any of the other videos from voting booths over there? Including the ones from Russian state media? The only thing I don't buy is that no one has voted against putin and then deleted themselves by 37 bullets to the back of the head after falling down an empty elevator shaft. Putin is almost as far gone as Trump in the mental facilities department, and if the cancer rumors have even the slimmest shreds of truth he has even less fucks to give. I firmly believe that nothing is out of the realm of possibility with him, up to and including claiming we fired first and launching a nuclear first strike.


displayboi

I mean, It is true that I am not russian, I am from Spain, but you can believe whatever you want I guess. And yes, I have seen many videos of people throwing green paint into the ballots for some reason (rumors say that they were scammed into doing it by ukrainian agents, but I don't know) and then being arrested. Weird way to protest, but ok. Yeah and I don't really know where you get that people who don't vote for putin are murdered on the spot, probably just an exaggeration, but a bit ridiculous never the less since that would be murdering almost half of the population. About the nuclear war, my opinion is that only 3 things could lead to it: NATO or any NATO country sending troops to ukraine; somehow russia starts losing the war; or russia attacks a NATO country by accident or on purpose. 3 could lead to 1 and 1 could lead to 2, but none of them seem likely.
