A few years ago, it seemed that every tenth person wore a white ribbon, a symbol of protest against Putin. Today, one gets the impression that every third Russian is wearing the Ribbon of Saint George, an orange and black symbol of patriotism and loyalty to the Kremlin.
俄罗斯民众已经接受了这种说法。几年前，似乎有十分之一的人佩戴象征反对普京的白丝带。而今天，似乎有三分之一的俄国人佩戴圣乔治丝带，这种橙黑色丝带象征着爱国和效忠克里姆林宫。不戴丝带的人会受到不礼貌的质问，问他们为什么会如此选择。
