Independent POLITICAL ACTIVITY in Russia has DIED. No one is able to engage in it and there is no one to engage with. Therefore, I will concentrate only on providing legal solutions to the problems of ordinary people. With land confiscation, business confiscation, violation of religious beliefs, etc. As well as promoting and advancing our young businessmen to the international level» — such a sensational statement was made by the well-known blogger Ruslan Kurbanov in his telegram channel (https://t.me/ruslankurbanovTG/1456).
What happened, Ruslan? Everything seemed to be all right, didn’t it? The pro-Western liberal fifth column has finally been removed from power, the influence of patriotic statists is growing, Ramzan Kadyrov is publicly humiliating Russian generals and strengthening his influence together with the head basher Prigozhin, and only unsuccessful people who have left and failed to fit into this «beautiful real Russia» and are unable to appreciate all the opportunities that lie ahead have tried to darken this idyll. At least, that’s what one could conclude from your previous speeches on these topics.
What has changed now? What has happened? I would like to understand what exactly, because before there was politics and you could get involved in it, but now there is no one and nothing? You are a public figure, please explain what you mean. I would also like to know how it happened that everything was fine and you defended this perspective together with those who left, and then suddenly everything changed overnight? Maybe it is worth analyzing what happened, why it happened, when it happened, and what role you and others like you who said until the last moment that everything was fine, that there was no need to worry and panic, played. Maybe someone made a wrong turn at some point? For example, when you started to support Assad in his fight against the Syrian rebels? Or when you said that Muslims should support the creation of the USSR 2.0? Or when you said that Russia should not lose the war it started against Ukraine? Or when you said that Muslims should not leave the war? Or maybe some other time, because there were actually many such instances. Questions, questions. It would be nice to hear honest answers to them. At least they would give a chance to believe that everything is still fixable and you can admit your mistakes and start correcting them, instead of assuming a pose of innocence in something you contributed to».
