These days, the language of Russia’s official politics, and thus what shows up in state media, carries the expression of ideological purity. Mr Putin’s current presidential term is marked by an ascendant majoritarianism, in which certain understood truths (pertaining to everything from gay rights to the Orthodox church) have taken on official, canonised forms. People and institutions who disagree are not only marginalised, but discredited. In such an environment little room is left for Dozhd's optimism.
