Huge Arrests In Kremlin! Total Censorship Reached Putin's Most Loyal Followers - The Russian Dude

In today’s Russia, the Kremlin’s war on dissent has turned into a purge of culture itself. Writers, directors, and musicians who once symbolized Russian pride are now branded criminals. Boris Akunin, once the country’s most popular author, has been sentenced to 14 years in absentia for “whitewashing terrorism.” Dmitry Bykov, Dmitry Glukhovsky, Evgenia Berkovich, and Svetlana Petriychuk—names once praised on state stages—are now treated as enemies of the state. What was once celebrated as the “soul of Russia” is now outlawed, erased, and rewritten. But it doesn’t stop with critics. Even loyalists, from Igor Girkin to Kremlin propagandists, are being silenced, censored, and thrown behind bars the moment they step out of line. Putin’s Russia in 2025 has become a total censorship machine that devours both opposition and its most faithful followers, erasing names, rewriting history, and ruling through fear. In this video, we break down how art turned into a crime, how loyal Z-bloggers became targets, how self-censorship and exile created a “VPN nation,” and why the regime’s obsession with control is the guillotine that may eventually fall on its own creators. This is the story of huge arrests inside the Kremlin, total censorship, and the betrayal of Putin’s most loyal followers.
