russian Embassy in Belgium (пародія)

Sometimes Putinists tell me that Latvia should be grateful to Russia for the liberation from Nazi occupation in 1944/45. I tell them I would be grateful, of course! It’s just that I can’t seem to find a free and independent Latvia on the map of Europe after 1945. Nor Lithuania and Estonia, for that matter

This is like a bomb in Russia. Ilya Remeslo, a long-time Russian patriot, professional informer, and lawyer, suddenly launched a direct attack on Putin: Vladimir Putin is not a legitimate president. Vladimir Putin should resign and be tried as a war criminal and thief. Five reasons why I stopped supporting Vladimir Putin. Someone had to say it. 1. The war in Ukraine. The war, which began as a "police operation," has already claimed 1-2 million lives. I supported the annexation of Crimea in 2014 precisely because it was bloodless. We all thought back then that Putin was the unifier of the Russian lands. And here we are now—bloody attacks, the deception of contract workers, and much more, which any SVO participant will confirm. An absolutely hopeless war, enormous losses, it could last another 5-10 years—are you ready for that? No one is calling for war against Russia. But the war is currently being waged solely because of Putin's complexes; we ordinary citizens don't benefit from it, we only lose. And a few more points: 2. Enormous damage to the Russian economy and the well-being of its citizens. 3. Suppression of internet and media freedom. 4. Putin's term in office. 5. Putin doesn't respect his voters and refuses to listen to them. Conclusion: Vladimir Putin is not a legitimate president. Vladimir Putin should resign and be tried as a war criminal and thief.
