Event is believed to have been a staged PR stunt with handpicked audience All mothers in attendance believed to be strongly pro-war Putin loyalists
One seen previously singing Russian national anthem on Red Square after Putin annexed Ukraine
Vladimir Putin's meeting today with mothers of servicemen he sent to the Ukraine-Russia war has been exposed as a cynical stage-managed sham.
He met a group of ultra-loyalist women carefully selected not to ask difficult questions.
Meanwhile, furious Russian mothers and wives not at the event raged at the 'shame' of how Putin avoided them and their complaints about using their relatives as cannon fodder.
'I would like you to know that, that I personally, and the whole leadership of the country - we share your pain,' he told women in a much-heralded meeting at his official residence.
Russian journalists quickly identified some of the women handpicked to meet Putin as known loyalists.
One of the women, Nadezhda Uzanova from Abakan, had previously appeared at an event with Putin - seen on video - singing the Russian national anthem on Red Square after he formally illegally annexed invaded regions of Ukraine as Kremlin territory.
She is a member of an ultra-patriotic group called Combat Brotherhood, and has advised pro-Putin officials.
Anna Gerusova - seen with Putin at today's session - is believed to be the wife of a military commissar in Rostov region.
Another, Irina Tas-Ool, is a loyalist regional government official, and it is not clear she has children of an age to be serving in the war.
One more, 50-year-old Olga Beltseva, is a representative of pro-Putin party United Russia.
Yulia Belekhova, 40, has a son serving in the conflict but has expressed strongly pro-war views, and is a wannabe MP in Putin's main political party United Russia.

Took a page outta brandons playbook did he?
And so many frivolous Freepers are suckered in because he is anti-gay. Putin is their anti-globohomo saviour....Or something like that.
Staged town halls. A page out of the RAT playbook.
No, that's your own overly-simplistic rationalization to explain to yourself why people don't agree with you.
Not just Putler.
RuSSia has always been a “staged” country.

Not simplistic at all. You must be blind.
Translated: Putin isn’t so STUPID so as to let Leftists infiltrate events, like the GOP does.
“...Putin isn’t so STUPID so as to let Leftists infiltrate events...”
No, Putin does not let the people infiltrate events. The 23-year dictator is still the KGB extreme leftist. He is still the central planner. He was also insulting to the mothers and wives of the Kursk sailors. He is also a murderer of his political opponents. The brave anti-Leftist Russians oppose Putin.
“The 23-year dictator is still the KGB extreme leftist.”
Link please, I hear he no longer works for the KGB.
“He is still the central planner.”
Link please, I hear Russia is NOT centrally planned, as was the Soviet Union.
“He is also a murderer of his political opponents.”
Link please, I don’t believe he’s been PROVEN to have killed anyone.
Yeah, it was just a coincidence that the leader of Putin’s opposition, Boris Nemtsov was murdered on a bridge within sight of the Kremlin walls. You don’t need a link to know that Putin often bemoaned the breakup of the Soviet empire. You don’t need a link to know that Putin clings to power as a dictator and changed the constitution to do so. You don’t need a link to see that the murderous scum stays in power decade after decade. Yeah, the NKVD and the KGB keeps changing its name, but the organ is still the same. Putin is still their boy scout.
“Yeah, it was just a coincidence that the leader of Putin’s opposition, Boris Nemtsov was murdered on a bridge within sight of the Kremlin walls.”
Meaningless, no proof provided. Maybe you’re conflating the way the Ukraine supporters took out Seth Rich, which was quite similar.
“You don’t need a link to know that Putin often bemoaned the breakup of the Soviet empire.”
Yep, on that you’re right. Now do you know why he said that?
“You don’t need a link to know that Putin clings to power as a dictator and changed the constitution to do so. .”
Link please, it’s my understanding that the Duma did that.
“You don’t need a link to see that the murderous scum stays in power decade after decade.”
You were talking about Putin before, why now bring up the Neocons?
“Yeah, the NKVD and the KGB keeps changing its name, but the organ is still the same.”
Meaningless, in this discussion.
“Putin is still their boy scout.”
Link please.
There is plenty of proof of Putin’s lethal dealings with his opposition like Nemtsov if you research it with an open mind. Your double talk cannot cover it up. Others who dared venture any criticism of the regime find it necessary to leave the country. Yulia Latynina, unlike BobL was brave and opposed Putin. Olga Smirnova, unlike BobL was brave enough to oppose tyranny. Alexei Navalny, exposed Putin corruption and the true costs of Putin’s palaces and is currently in prison. Mikail Khodorkovsky had a business coveted by Putin’s folks. He had to leave too.
Putin’s invasions of the Republic of Georgia and Ukraine substantiated Putin’s claim that “Russia knows no borders”. His genocidal Ukraine invasion cannot be justified by any of your sophistry.
Here are YOUR FRIENDS:

You’re welcome to keep them.
All the atrocities in this war are at Putin’s feet. The atrocities committed in the Donbas by the Russians and their agents back in 2014 ... a greatly underreported story. But you are stuck on the bloody grotesque 23-year dictator so you share the blood.
Like these? Just kidding, these are YOUR Nazi friends in Ukraine, as reported by YOUR Western media. In any case, even you know that the fun will soon be ending for the Neocons in Ukraine and it will soon be on to Taiwan for new wars.
