9. Russian Blogger Gets 20m Views—“The People are Hurting”
Kremlin acknowledges criticism after blogger warns Putin ‘squeezed’ Russians could erupt
By Andrew Osborn and Dmitry Antonov
- Summary
- Blogger tells Putin Russian people are suffering
- Accuses officials of misinforming him about problems
- Video appeal gets more than 20 million views
- Kremlin responds and says issues are being addressed
MOSCOW, April 16 (Reuters) – The Kremlin took the unusual step of publicly acknowledging sharp criticism of the authorities from a celebrity blogger on Thursday, saying work was under way to address a slew of problems identified by social media influencer Viktoria Bonya.
Bonya, who is well known inside Russia for her appearances on reality TV shows and other programmes, has a huge social media following, and a video appeal she made to President Vladimir Putin this week was watched more than 20 million times and liked over 1 million times on Instagram.
In her video appeal, Bonya – who lives outside Russia – said she supported Putin, but said that officials were not telling him the truth about the country’s real problems, that the Russian people were suffering, and that they were being squeezed so hard by corrupt officials that they might one day erupt.
“You know what the risk is?” she said. “That people will stop being afraid and they’re being squeezed into a coiled spring and that one day that coiled spring will shoot out.”

Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund is on the verge of announcing it will withdraw financial support from LIV Golf, the upstart golf circuit it launched four years ago to compete with the PGA Tour, a person familiar with the matter said Wednesday.
The Saudi league splashed into professional golf in 2022, attracting some of the sport’s biggest stars with contracts that exceeded — by tens of millions of dollars — their career earnings with more established circuits like the American-run PGA Tour.
The move comes as Saudi Arabia’s $1 trillion sovereign wealth fund announced a new five-year strategy on Wednesday, with the fund’s governor saying it would slow down some of its biggest projects as it focuses on “increasing the efficiency of investments.”
