The Kremlin is worried about the unusual rise in popularity of U.S. President Donald Trump and his ideas among Russians. This has been reported by the Telegram channel VChK-OGPU, which is linked to the FSB of the Russian Federation.
The Kremlin regime has instructed to downplay discussions of Trump's anti-immigrant initiative in Russian media, focusing attention solely on the increase in national conflicts resulting from this initiative in the U.S.
Sociological studies indicate that over 70% of the population in Russia views Donald Trump, often referred to as the "bulldozer of American politics," as a defender of their citizens' interests.
The new "zero tolerance" policy of Trump towards crime among migrants and the closure of entry for unqualified foreigners has garnered significant support from Russians. In this regard, Russia's policy now starkly contrasts with that of the U.S.
In Russia, national diasporas and non-Christian religious groups continue to receive substantial support from the authorities, with their crimes often recommended to be quietly overlooked. Representatives of their oligarchy are not subjected to the processes of nationalization of privatized property, and their "cultural traditions" are protected to the detriment of indigenous Russian ones, in order to avoid national conflicts.
A significant portion of capital outflow abroad is also attributed to unqualified migrants from neighboring countries, which weakens the ruble, fuels inflation, and forces every Russian citizen to bear the burden of supporting these migrants.
