Putin claims prosperity. Russians ask "where?" | Break the Fake

As Russia heads toward another election, the Kremlin is once again presenting Putin as the architect of an economic miracle. State media is filling screens with impressive-looking statistics about growth, prosperity and stability. But outside the propaganda, many Russians are facing rising prices, deteriorating hospitals, out of stock medicines and apartments that can become dangerously cold in winter.

For people living far from Moscow and St. Petersburg, the gap between Putin's promises and everyday reality is becoming impossible to ignore. And with the election approaching, that gap raises a bigger question: how many Russians still believe the Kremlin's economic success story?

Join Jonasz Rewiński in a new episode of Break the Fake to look at Putin's latest economic propaganda, the reality facing ordinary Russians, and why the Kremlin may be finding it increasingly difficult to sell its “prosperity” narrative before the vote.
