“This action, like many other direct partisan actions carried out in Russia in recent months, was carried out by the National Republican Army,” said Ponomarev, adding that his web portal had made contact with the group’s fighters. A manifesto purporting to come from the group was published online on Sunday, which Ponomarev went on to read out in the broadcast. It declares Putin a “usurper of power and war criminal.” It says the Russian president “unleashed a fratricidal war between the Slavic peoples and sent Russian soldiers to certain and senseless death.” “Poverty and coffins for some, palaces for others — that’s the essence of his policy.” “We believe that disenfranchised people have the right to rebel against tyrants. Putin will be deposed and destroyed by us!” The document goes on to call on soldiers of the Russian army “to stop shooting at our brothers from other countries — Georgia, Syria and others,” and urges “all Russians to join our ranks.”

    Those idiots! Kill a leading fascist, a billionaire funding the war, or something actually useful! They are either incompetent, or paid by foreign powers.

      They did try (if it actually was them). Dugin is a (maybe the) leading fascist.

        Pure lies. You can read the website of Dugin’s think tank right here. This is what it says:

        We, at Katehon, view the world as being a global space in which there will always be permanent and distinct civilizations or “civilizational spheres.” These polylogue spheres of influence are not going to disappear in the near or even distant future, nor should they. We follow the realist school of international relations with its varying forms - e.g. defensive, offensive, neo, hyper - and so we are obliged to recognize the great diversity of values, traditions, interests and visions which exist among all of the world’s distinct civilizations. In particular, we are engaged in studying the following “great spaces” which comprise the majority of all world civilizations - North America, South (or Latin) America, Europe, Russia-Eurasia, China, India, the Islamic world, Africa, and the Pacific. We consider all of the preceding global-regional “poles” to be different civilizational entities, all possessing certain commonalities and yet also differences which should neither be ignored nor denied. This demands a new multipolar approach to studying each civilization and the many subtle distinctions that exist within them.

        Not even close to fascsim.

    “to stop shooting at our brothers from other countries — Georgia, Syria and others,”

    Sounds like western pawns, mentioning specifically countries where Russia is helping defend against US-inspired aggressions. Who are exactly their “brothers” - syrian rebels using chemical weapons, ISIS members and Georgians launching grad missiles on osetian houses?

        I think i remember posts from Genzedong sub few years ago about Douma attack being false flag. Even western propaganda admit rebels are using chemical weapons.

      Why not at least pretend to read the article before solidifying your opinion?

      The car bomb was intended to kill Dugin, but at the last moment him and his daughter switched cars. Dugin watched his daughters car blow up, as he was following right behind her.

        I know but bro… Even killing Dugin himself would be moronic al, what ur gonna achieve? Is he actively fighting? Nope, is he the guy that declared the war? Nope, will his death - like the one of his daughter- sentiment anti ukrianain sentiment? Definitely
