Formation of the image of the enemy: figurines of “enemies of the Russian Federation” were hung on a Christmas tree near the administration building in Tver

In the Russian city of Tver, paper figurines of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, US leader Joe Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron, singers Alla Pugacheva and Laima Vaikule, and humorist Maksym Galkin were attached to the main Christmas tree. There is an inscription on the figurines, that suggests tearing off their parts one by one.

It is worth noting that the Christmas tree stands near the building of the local administration.

The corresponding photos appeared on Telegram on November 11, 2022.

In this way, the local authorities give the population clear guidelines as to who is the “enemy” and “traitor” and who is guilty of “all the troubles of Russia.” Instead of solving local problems, the authorities show loyalty to the course of the ruling regime with such flash mobs.
