Russians Are Being Offered $7 to Fill Crowd at Major Putin Rally
Newsweek ^ | 2/17/23 at 11:01 AM EST | Gerrard Kaonga

Posted on 02/18/2023 8:14:28 AM PST by UMCRevMom@aol.com

The advertisements have appeared on Russian Telegram channels as well as other social networks, according to a report by Meduza, a Russian and English language independent news website.

The extra-recruiting ad is offering a payment of 500 rubles ($7) plus merchandise, as well as listing some of the artists expected to perform.

An organizer of the event spoke to a Sirena correspondent and gave greater details regarding whether the artists named would be performing.

They said they were not entirely sure and added: "I'm just helping to recruit people. What they told me, I copied and threw it into the group, and then I can't tell you for sure."

This is not the first time Putin has allegedly used this strategy. In the past he has allegedly coerced or forced individuals to attend his rallies.
