This Video surfaced on YouTube/Facebook/Instagram on February 16 - 17.
This is a blatant Russian propaganda video that was specifically designed to increase the amount of Russian voters that obviously recognizing that Putin is going to be elected regardless of their choice.
This video was spread around by very shady people like Aleksander Kazakov who is a leader of DPR and lots of noname fresh ZouTube accounts

I will clarify a few things that you western folks might not know.
Our main character opens the door and he sees a general with a black guy behind him (Russians are extremely racist and they would never allow a black man in their military)
This mean that the video tells us that if people are going to vote for someone else and not Putin black people will be treated like actual people by the new administration and that it’s immoral somehow
The general looking guy dabs with his men because the new president allegedly replaced the traditional salute with a dab
The general makes it seem that our main character has no say with enrolling in the army. In Russia and many ex-USSR countries army is mandatory and there is no way of avoiding it unless you have a serious disability. The video implies that a new president would take the existing system that already exists and will take it to an extreme by raising the age of eligibility (currently starts at 18 and ends at 27). It doesn’t even cross their minds that a different president would abolish this mandatory system that goes against free will.
The kid asks for 4 million rubles. This is an extreme number and the video implies that people will elect a different president this time around Russian economy will suffer from hyperinflation and everything will become incredibly expensiv..
