Back then, the Kremlin was frightened by the possibility of a so-called “color revolution” breaking out in Russia. As a result, enormous resources – both funds and officials’ time – were invested in youth movements created by Kremlin puppeteers, with two aims: control street political activity and prepare brigades for a future struggle – which might include ballot rigging – against political opponents.
在那时候，克里姆林宫极端惧怕一场所谓“颜色革命”会在俄罗斯爆发。于是他们投入了大量资源——包括资金和官员的精力——在克里姆林宫操纵下的青年运动上。此举的目的有二：一是控制街头政治活动；二是为未来与政治反对派之间的斗争做准备——包括操纵选举。在此目的之下，球迷也成为了利用的目标。
