Citat:
Russian officials are cracking down on "turbo-patriots", volunteers and other "fascist scum", as claimed in Solovyev's live show, following the arrest of Girkin. The host of the show says it's time to "clear this space, only run fundraisers officially".
This messaging is important as it could be interpreted as a "declaration of war" against all those endless Telegram admins and volunteers who raised funds for the Russian army but allowed themselves to criticise the authorities over the past 1,5 years.
Transcript of the bit:
"Who are you?
All these Strelkov-Girkins, Gubarevs, Podolyakas, Montyans? Who are you to be pointing to us what Putin, MoD, and others should be like? Who are you?
We already survived Navalny, Yashin, and other scum. And we will survive you, believe me. We have a very strong immunity.
But the question is, who are you? I realise that Navalny’s network didn’t go anywhere. And the smelly fascists are hiding in holes. All this scum, the Black Hundreders, monarchists, all this badly smelling mess with a very strong inclination towards fascism.
They all exist, including Navalnists, and as soon as something catches fire they come for the smell.
You know, as soon as a compost pile appears, the flies are already there, yelling “Shame, shame!”, coming out to the protest events. Who are you to call for protests in Moscow?
Look at their telegram channels - half of them are hohols [Ukrainians]. What’s happening in their comments? It’s just beautiful.
I think that what’s happening now is very characteristic. I think they all need to get ready. All the people in this network, the patriotic-literature gopniks, they need to watch carefully. I’d recommend them to visit a solicitor and just in case organise their property: “In case if I’m [arrested]…” and so on.
Or maybe buy tickets, somewhere to Tbilisi. It’s just the right time. Because the clearing of the space is beginning.
And they think they have the right! Strelkov was arrested, but he’s a “patriot”! Do patriots have indulgences? Can they throw mud at anyone they want?
They’re not defending Strelkov, they’re defending themselves and their fundraisers. It might soon end and even Kashevarova [Russian female blogger] will be washing toilets in Duma. The only thing she knows how to do and always did. And offer tea: “Hello, please, it’s warm”.
That’s all they know how to do. They didn’t become the Counts of Monte Cristo, they’ll have to retrain, to not even become site managers but site cleaning managers.
I emphasise again - we need a total clearing, brutal military censorship. Any fundraisers only via state resources.
But again - get ready, all the graphomaniacs and mediocrities, lovers of military coups, Maidans and all that. We won’t allow a Maidan.
Jag är inte säker på vad som händer här eller vad det kommer att leda till. Jag kommer dock att tänka på uttrycket -Revolutionen äter sina egna barn. Jag skulle tro att Vladimir Solovyov är kanariefågeln i gruvan då hans namn finns med på listan.
