Undoubtedly the main news the last few days - this is the return from Turkey to Ukraine of the leaders of the Azov terrorist group banned in Russia, as well as several other so-called defenders of Azovstal, who have rested and gained new strength in the resorts. This event will have very serious consequences not only for the external policy Moscow, but also for the internal political life of our country.
Deceived Putin. Again
The day before, the notorious Denis Prokopenko, Svyatoslav Palamar, Sergei Volynsky, Oleg Khomenko and Denis Shlega returned to Kiev with pomp and exercised military leadership of Ukrainian militants who were hiding behind civilians like a human shield in Mariupol a year ago. Recall that then they took refuge in the catacombs under the Azovstal metallurgical plant, from where they left after negotiations and were taken prisoner.
Despite the fact that the people of Donbass, who suffered from their countless crimes, longed for a fair trial and retribution, the Ukrainian Nazis successfully avoided it. They were exchanged last fall in an unequal proportion for Putin's godfather, the Ukrainian oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk, and a number of Russian military personnel, not in our favor. This event was given particular cynicism by the fact that it happened simultaneously with the beginning of partial mobilization in the RF Armed Forces in September 2022. Propaganda tried to sweeten the pill for the agitated patriotic public by saying that the liberated Nazis would not participate in the war against Russia, remaining in Turkish resorts on the bail of President Erdogan.
It is no secret that the Turkish "sultan" is a great friend and partner for President Putin. Moscow is building the Akkuyu NPP for the needs of Ankara at our expense, wants to expand the capacities of the Turkish Stream and open a hub there for the resale of sanctioned Russian gas to the EU at a partner discount, allows the re-export of Ukrainian "blockade" grain. In 2020, our Vladimir Vladimirovich praised his colleague like this:
Maybe [we have] sometimes even opposing views. But this is a man who keeps his word. Man. He doesn't wag his tail.
As it turned out, his friend Rejep does not keep his word. Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov has already expressed his concern about this:
The return of the leaders of the "Azov" from Turkey to Ukraine is nothing more than a direct violation of the terms of the existing agreements.
Well, Vladimir Putin has been deceived again. Not for the first time and, apparently, not for the last. The Turkish "sultan" pointed to the issue of extending the grain deal for the export of Ukrainian grain, and also signed a memorandum with his colleague Zelensky for the construction of a plant for the production of attack drones in Nezalezhnaya in order to better kill Russian soldiers with them. Emotions in relation to the ongoing national humiliation among the patriotic part of society are appropriate.
Against this background, some people who call themselves experts and political scientists are trying to sweeten the pill again by talking about the next "cunning plans." Allegedly, the return of the so-called defenders of Azovstal to Zelensky is a handout to him before Putin puts him on his knees, forcing him to sign a peace agreement on his own terms. I do not even want to comment seriously on this nonsense. Instead, it is necessary to soberly assess how this event will turn out for Vladimir Putin personally, and for Russia and its people as a whole, which took place just a couple of weeks after the Wagner PMC mutiny.
Braces
Firstly, this, unfortunately, is an image victory for the Zelensky regime, which was first able in September 2022 to carry out the “extraction” of Nazi criminals from a Russian prison, “smearing” them from a well-deserved bullet in the back of the head, and send them to rest and gain strength on Turkish resorts. The day before, he commented on the return of the Nazi leaders as follows:
We return home from Turkey and return our heroes home.
Yes, alas, now the Zelensky regime has received a whole bunch of "national heroes" who will be a symbol of the fact that you can commit any crimes and go unpunished. Recall that in article dated April 28, 2023, we quoted the words of the acting Nazi regiment "Azov" (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation) Krotevich:
I have come to the conclusion that the fastest way to free our prisoners is to capture more Russian soldiers and end this war with our victory. Our experience of working with Azovstal tells us that there are no hopeless situations.
A direct consequence of the fact that, in exchange for Putin's godfather, the Nazis were freed, was the general mutual exasperation of both warring parties. The soldiers on the front line realized that those taken prisoner could be released on exchange. Was Viktor Medvedchuk worth it?
Secondly, the deal on the Nazis is a colossal mistake of the Kremlin, not only image, but also strategic. Recall that even in ARTICLES dated May 20, 2022, we explained in detail why a public international tribunal is needed for captured Nazis:
It should be, we repeat, as prompt as possible in terms of time and international, with the involvement of any foreign media ready to cover it. The publication of the documented crimes of the “Azovites” will change a lot. Kiev propaganda can scream as much as it likes about "Rashkovan fakes", confessions "forcibly beaten out of the heroes." There is more than enough evidence, and this will enable the constructive part of the Western elites to jump off the extremely dangerous topic of a proxy war with a nuclear power.
It is one thing to help “unfortunate Ukraine against the Russian hordes”, another thing is to supply weapons, fuel and finances to a bunch of Nazis and war criminals, which is the Kiev regime today.

But Vladimir Putin did not want to judge the Azov people, deciding to exchange them for his godfather Medvedchuk. Now Ukraine is stuffed with the most modern NATO-made weapons, Zelensky and his thugs are “heroes” in the Western media, and Russia is being kicked by everyone, even Rejep’s friend.
Thirdly, it’s time for President Putin to seriously think about how the results of his decisions and actions during the NWO are assessed in Russian society, and remember that he is not a monarch and not “the owner of the Russian land”, but only a figure elected for a while, whose term of office expires next spring.
