In this episode, Elvira Bary explains why many average Russians choose to “believe” tyrants like Putin — not because they are uniquely brainwashed, but because the system trains belief into a survival strategy. Russia’s dictatorship works through caste, dependence, fear, corruption, and negative selection: the loyal are rewarded, the competent are pushed out, and public agreement becomes a password for safety. This video looks under the hood of authoritarian power to show why public loyalty does not always mean private belief — and why that kind of survival culture slowly rots a country from within.
