To defeat globalism, Moscow is reluctantly but responsibly adopting the globalist agenda. Think about it. https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/russia-must-close-the-cattle-tag

Путин утвердил "цифровой паспорт"

Президент Владимир Путин утвердил "цифровой паспорт". Подписанный Путиным указ определяет случаи и порядок использования цифрового удостоверения личности вместо бумажного. Документ опубликован на официальном портале правовой информации.

Напомним, в феврале 2023 г. президент поддержал и призвал ускорить внедрение цифрового удостоверения личности вместо традиционного паспорта. Предъявлять такое удостоверение можно будет со смартфона. Однако россияне не так благосклонно настроены к этому новшеству. Согласно опросу портала SuperJob, иметь цифровой паспорт хотели бы только 27% россиян, притом что 58% против. Между мужчинами и женщинами разницы почти нет, а вот по возрасту различия заметны. Если среди людей до 35 лет на цифровой паспорт согласны 37% (против - 44%), то старше 45 лет - только 22%, а 64% против этого.

👆Putin has officially signed off on the creation of a "digital [domestic] passport". Who needs a boring and inconvenient paper ID when you can store your passport on your DumbPhone? Safe and convenient.

All responsible internet pundits agree: The Bank of Russia’s CBDC will allow Moscow to run laps around the Collective West’s feckless sanctions as Jerome Powell cries and cries like a little baby.

Unfortunately, some people—a deranged, probably Soros-funded minority—continue to propagate the hideous lie that the digital ruble isn’t absolutely essential to Russia’s survival. https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/russias-banking-system-has-swift

Yesterday your attentive Moscow correspondent was typing an article about Russia’s completely predictable participation in the UN’s Summit on Sustainable Development Goals, but then it suddenly occurred to him: Does anyone actually want to read another article about space lizards and SDGs? Highly doubtful.

Here is a short photo essay about airplanes instead. https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/kindergarten-is-for-chumps
