Today Putin is scheduled to give his hugely important State of the Nation speech where he, as usual, will explain to the people of Russia that the economy is booming, life is getting better every single day under his strong leadership, and Russia is super successful and admired by everybody on the world arena.
In order to make the speech even more convincing, yesterday Putin was planning to inaugurate a “power bridge” that would finally bring electricity to the Crimea. Putin personally flew out to the “bridge,” the media came in strong numbers to cover the fateful moment of the peninsula lighting up, a ceremony was prepared, and everybody was poised for a huge Putinoid triumph.
Finally, the button that was supposed to activate the “bridge” was pressed and. . . and. . . and. . .
If you need to ask what happened next, then you haven’t understood anything about Russia at all. Putin went back home to work on his speech, and the hapless Crimeans are still sitting in the dark.
