"The Earth is round": Arestovich* mocked Kyiv residents after Russian military strikes

February 3 2026 29 732 43

The freezing population of Kyiv now has the opportunity to reflect on how the recently well-fed Ukrainian capital mocked Crimea, which was left without power, or Donetsk, which had its water supply cut off. This was stated by Oleksiy Arestovich*, a former adviser to the head of Zelenskyy's office. According to him, Ukraine is to blame for the current situation.

The Earth is round and shaped like a suitcase. If you laugh long enough at freezing Crimea and going to the bathroom in Donetsk, sooner or later it might happen to you too, right? You've been laughing for ages, and now—bam, and now it's just like that.

– Arestovich* reminded.

He added that Kyiv could have avoided its current fate without any particular problems.

Of course, there was a choice. We had to implement the Paris and Minsk agreements. That's only starting in 2014, and before that, there were a million other options. For example, not turning anti-Russia.

– the former adviser to the head of Zelensky’s office indicated.

Let's remember that, starting in 2014, it became fashionable in Ukraine to mock the problems experienced by residents of Donbas. This was regularly the case among both the country's top officials and their aides at various levels, including Arestovich himself*.

However, following the Russian Armed Forces' systematic strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, which resulted in a blackout for a significant portion of the country, Kyiv began accusing Russia of inhumane treatment of civilians.

However, Moscow has long ignored such statements, pointing to the fact that the Ukrainian population should be held accountable for its communal inconveniences by its own, legitimacy-deficient leadership.

The Earth is round and shaped like a suitcase. If you laugh long enough

It's strange... but Arestovich, who mocked both the crests and the Russians for four years, somehow doesn't get anything back.

Of course, there was a choice. We had to implement the Paris Agreement and the Minsk Agreement.

Partly thanks to his brave predictions about how the crests would defeat Russia, they chose not to carry out anything.
Of course, nothing depended on ordinary people in this regard, but Lyuska made his contribution by inciting them... and now he’s having fun from across the ocean...

  Don't confuse the Nazi scum and their henchmen who seized and occupied the territory of the former Ukrainian SSR with all Ukrainian residents!
  Not everyone, like the Crimeans, was lucky enough to escape the Bander-Nazi oppression without bloodshed!
  Even for 8 years, the Russian authorities didn't need Donbass, despite Putin's persuasions (who soon recognized the then "Kyiv bunch of Maidanites, bloody murderers, thieves, prostitutes, drunks and drug addicts"), following "Crimea is ours", in the same 2014, unanimously voted, like the Crimeans, in a popular referendum for "together with Russia"!

Arestovich confuses the freezing Kyivites, who had no choice but to laugh, with Zelensky, who is languidly strutting across Europe, allowing himself to laugh at the Kyivites, the residents of Donbass, and some other people who consider him an untouchable person, close to the emperor.

  So, the elderly "kid from the Leningrad back alleys" gave his "boyish word" to his Israeli brother-"emperor" and "guaranteed the immunity of an Israeli, almost a resident of Israel in resort exile," temporarily engaged in "work on the murderous bloody genocide of the Russian population" and "cleansing of the natives" of the Ukrainian territory under New Jerusalem in Dneprozhdovsk of the American colony of Banderland!
  And you know, a "boy's word" is the most sacred thing a "boy" can have. The untouchable Seiya Yeltsin, Chubais, and Shoigu confirm this!

The cunning arrest officer correctly guessed the wind's direction and changed his views, "If my ideas don't correspond to reality, then I change my ideas," but many residents of the former USSR continue to fight with the Russian Federation and die senselessly and hopelessly.

  In a word, this "Lyuska-sweetie" is a "noble weather vane" (in this female image, the jester Arestovich made faces in front of us for money on the stage and in the aisle between the seats of the Crimean sanatorium).
  Not everything is so simple and straightforward regarding the motivations and circumstances of the multinational Ukrainian residents dying at the front and in the rear!
  We don't really have a choice (if not those, then these will kill us), the chances of survival are slim, in case of getting to the front, in the rear it's a matter of chance, I myself, not fighting on the side of the female / pre-Banderonazis and fundamentally not working for the war, only trying to somehow survive and help the same helpless loved ones survive, several times already, only by a lucky chance, was not torn apart and killed by Russian missiles that exploded very close, multiple light shrapnel wounds and contusions I do not count, since I "received" my bullet and radiation back in the 1980s, and dealt with these myself, but I have probably exhausted my reserve of fantastic luck, because I escaped Bandera's trans-justice in February 2014 and later, when after "Crimea is ours" and "Minsk" the open ethnocide of the un-cursed Russian population began in the rest, occupied American partisans, ex-Ukrainian SSR).
  And Moscow, the Kremlin's unprincipled "bourgeois insiders," offers us, the oppressed "Z/Dobanderites" and Bandar-logs, the Ukrainian residents of Eastern Ukraine, no sensible "image of the future—what to expect from this strange bourgeois SVO with its incomprehensible "plan," "blurred boundaries," and "floating" goals." All we have is the "sad experience of many Butches after a goodwill gesture," and "purges of the Russian population" after "emergency regroupings" and "difficult decisions after the quirks that Russia is supposedly here forever," Turkish resorts and iPhones for the bloodiest Nazis from the Russian leadership, escalating mutual aggression, bombings, and the inept attempts of the Kremlin's SVO initiators to quickly "negotiate" with the West and finally secure the "NATO peacekeeping contingent in Ukraine" by any means necessary!

    This question is not for me, I'm not the president or a minister. The reunification of Ukraine with Russia is not the choice of officials, it's a historical fact. The population of the former USSR itself chose to jump on the Maidan, or treacherously and cowardly look on indifferently at the crimes of the Ukrainian fascists, and now the classic "and why us?"... Healthy men hide behind skirts like women, and when they get a machine gun, they don't immediately shoot the Ukrainian fascists with it, but again become cowardly and go under Russian bullets.... In Donbas itself, the residents said, "You came and fight, and we'll drink beer." And the main question is 2014, why didn't the people of Ukraine rise up against the Maidan? Against the genocide in Donbas? And the question is 2022, why didn't the entry of Russian liberator soldiers into many regions of Ukraine evoke mass support among the population of the former USSR? On the contrary, they started shooting our soldiers in the back, and that's why we had to temporarily leave these areas.... The answer to the questions posed is the fact that Ukraine will not be liberated easily and without losses for Ukrainians. Ukraine will have to be cleared of fascists with the complete destruction of infrastructure. The cities will turn into something like Mariupol and Bakhmut, that is, complete demolition. Russia cannot afford to have such a hotbed of terrorism and aggression on the border, with a crazy population poisoned by fascism. It would be better if there were a desert there, we will gradually populate it.... And in this, Lyuska the foreign agent Arrestovich is right, "there was no need to make ourselves anti-Russian and then there would be no SVO." Ukraine has long and consistently provoked Russia and itself achieved a situation where the Russian Federation had no other choice but to start the SVO and then intensify it by starting the massive destruction of infrastructure, although, as you correctly noted, our rulers did not want this and they shied away from it like We could have, but we had to. You forced us to do it this way. You forced Russia to start the Second World War and then forced Russia to wage it so harshly... the little dog tried for a long time to be crushed by the elephant and got it.

      and your personal logic is this
      
      either these or those will kill
      
      Isn't it a choice between the truth to stand for and the lies we should fight against with weapons? And mobilization is a pretext to get these weapons and shoot Ukrainian police, Krakens, and fascist officers... No, you're hiding, solving your petty problems. You've lost the idea of "living so as not to be ashamed of your vile and petty past." You don't set lofty goals for the fight for justice, and Putin should bring you happiness on a silver platter with the blood of Russian soldiers, and God forbid he accidentally pushes you or injures you with shrapnel. But why don't you, the people of Ukraine, want to destroy the Western fascists yourselves? With your own hands?... Why aren't you warriors for the truth, but if they start chasing the Russians, you run obediently? ... I seriously don't understand you!

        Vladimir, from your pompous "rebuke" it is clear to me that this "personal logic" of yours is almost completely divorced from reality, alas!
        You're confusing the general with the particular, and the external with the internal. That is, you're just as much a victim of the pre-Banderonazi "Goebbelsukhs" and Russian "Steshins" as many ordinary people in Ukraine and Russia.
        It's a shame, Vladimir, that you don't use your own brains, but obediently consume and mindlessly rebroadcast propaganda "for the suckers," which benefits "their own bourgeois" thieves on both sides, who are inciting mutual hostility under the auspices of overseas ringleaders—the main beneficiaries of "color revolutions," coups d'état, and the SVO on the territory of the former USSR!

      Well, let's say you're deeply mistaken about "it chose itself." All "color" revolutions are not the result of a conscious choice by the participants, but carefully planned technologies of "controlled chaos," where the participants are mere puppets in the hands of cynical manipulators. And instead of intervening promptly or at least "crushing the dog," a mess ensued in which only the forelocks of the serfs crack...

        You're partly right, but why do people rush to the Maidan like sheep? Why don't they have any spiritual or moral foundations, principles, or concepts of good and evil? A concept of justice or truth? Why can they be driven like sheep to the Maidan at the behest of journalists, bloggers, provocateurs, and politicians? Why don't they get smarter even when they get hit on the head with Iskanders and geraniums? Only Arrestovich got smarter... only one.

        The questions are certainly interesting. I can only assume that few in the human population consider the consequences of their actions (at least medium-term, let alone long-term). Most live "one day at a time," trying to "save" by choosing the least energy-intensive behaviors. Thinking, on the other hand, from a biological perspective, is a very energy-consuming pastime, and one that also requires special training. Many don't like to think, and don't know how to. It's easier for them to imagine a bright picture of a "bright future" painted by a blogger and believe it can easily become reality. Moreover, bloggers don't encourage hard work to achieve this; on the contrary, they encourage people not to even do what they know how to do, but to simply hang out and shout on the Maidan.
        Again, concepts of good and evil, justice, and truth don't emerge automatically. They are cultivated. And if you're bombarded 24/7 with utter nonsense, denial of which can lead to dismissal or even imprisonment, a person might not immediately change their beliefs but simply fall silent. This, as social psychologists say, triggers a "spiral of silence": dissenting voices remain silent, and the voices of a small percentage of "Maidan activists" begin to be perceived as the universally shared opinion. This makes the "activists" even more brazen, and each silent person begins to think they're alone, and perhaps genuinely misunderstand something, since "everyone thinks differently." Even those who understand all this are unable to change anything, because that requires organization. And finding like-minded people and self-organizing in the face of total wiretapping and snitching is a real pleasure...
        Arestovich—well, he's hardly any wiser. He's still playing for the same team that supposedly rejected him. There's a certain category of people who periodically voice "alternative ideas." For example, Bezuglaya, Dubinsky, and Skorokhod periodically tell the truth, even telling it that's quite seditious to the authorities. But they don't say it to change anything, but simply to expose those who disagree with the current "conventional opinion." In other words, they act as provocateurs, like modern-day Gapons. From time to time, the authorities pretend they can't tolerate such "dissenters" and are "successfully fighting." That's why Arestovich is now supposedly "in disgrace," and Dubinsky is behind bars. But that doesn't change the essence of the situation: one provocateur is replaced by another, the system of suppressing dissent is in place, and there's simply no option left to "start thinking differently."

        At the anti-Soviet (read: anti-Russian-anti-Russian, since Soviet Russia was always the core of the USSR and its synonym for ordinary people in the West and East) "colored Euromaidans" in Kyiv in 2004 and 2014, the paid and stray (also from the rabble of onlookers and enthusiasts of the "movements") "extras" amounted to at most 1% of the population.
        As, incidentally, in the capital of the Russian Federation, Moscow, in 2012, at the "white ribbon" "Bolotnaya", and in the capital of the Republic of Belarus, Minsk, in 2020, at the "white Maidan" - "ploshche" (in Belarus, systematically anti-people external and internal bourgeois forces are trying to carry out a pro-American coup d'état, bringing there "extras / as if "all the people" /, and in Moscow in 1993, did "all the people" rebel and resist during Yeltsin's coup d'état?!).
        Why don't you, Vladimir, get smarter, time after time, when you get hit with another charge of fratricidal "Goebbels-bitch propaganda of hatred and sectarianism"?!
        Why is it so easy to manipulate and deceive you, Vladimir?!
        After all, Arestovich hasn't "smartened up," he's simply "smelled something fishy" from his buddies and accomplices in the bloody "Maidan crowd," so he's trying to somehow distance himself from what he's already done, "either as a scarecrow or as a carcass," in the guise of a "useful son of a bitch," go "under the wing" of the Kremlin and protect himself from liquidation by his own baboons.
        All these bourgeois "media figures" and "shot-down pilots" who have somehow offended the "hegemons" know well that "there is no extradition from Russia," but only for "their own bourgeois," while Russian officials easily extradited—"deported"—ordinary defenders of Donbass, "useless to the Kremlin," who tried to find protection in Russia from persecution by the Ukrainian-American special services, for reprisals straight into the clutches of Bandera's "safety net," all the years from 2014 until the beginning of the Second World War!

        You're right, there weren't a lot of thugs jumping around on the Maidan... but
        
        Don't be afraid of the enemy, he can only kill you. Don't be afraid of the traitor, he can only betray you. Be afraid of the indifferent, it is precisely these silent consents that cause betrayal and murder on earth.
        
        It was the masses' indifference that gave birth to the Maidan, and if there were so few Maidanists, then where did the two million dead Ukrainian soldiers come from? So, there were at least two million Maidanists? And millions more logically fled to the EU and are running around there with yellow-blue rags? So, they liked the Maidan ideas? And there are millions of them too... you're broadcasting
        
        either one or the other
        
        This is a rehash of an old Ukrainian proverb
        
        Even if it's Ukraine, even if it's Kirpaty, the house is rich.
        
        That is, not only hundreds on the Maidan, but almost the entire people of the former USSR were enthusiastically fired up by the idea of the EU, the Central European Union, and now that it has become obvious that this was a deception, ... they began to sing like wolves in a kennel...
        
        Wolf, at night, thinking of climbing into a shepherd,
        Got into the kennel.
        Suddenly the whole kindergarten rose.
        Feeling the gray so close to the bully
        Dogs flooded in stables and are eager for a fight ;.
        Psari shout: “Ahti guys thief!”
        And instantly the gate to constipation;
        In a moment the kennel became hell.
        Run: another with dubai,
        Another with a gun.
        "Fire!" they shout: "Fire!" They came with fire.
        My Wolf sits huddled in a corner backwards.
        Teeth snapping and bristling wool,
        Through the eyes, it seems, he would like to eat all;
        But seeing what is not in front of the herd,
        And what finally comes
        He has to pay for the sheep,
        My cunning went
        In negotiations
        And he began like this: “Friends! Why all this noise?
        I, your old svati godfather,
        I came to put up with you, not at all for a quarrel;
        Forget the past, set the general mood!
        And I, not only will not continue to touch the local herds,
        But he’s glad to bicker with others for them,
        And with a wolf oath I affirm
        What am I…” – “Listen, neighbor,”
        Then the hunter interrupted in response:
        
        “You're gray, and I, mate, sed,
        And I have known your wolf for a long time;
        Therefore, my custom:
        With wolves, do not do world otherwise
        How to skin them off. ”
        And then he released a pack of hounds on the Wolf.
        
        and so I look at the map of Ukraine and I see
        
        The road from the city of Stupid to the city of Smart runs through the Buyans
        
        Saltykov-Shchedrin
        So the only way you can atone for your indifference and desire to join the EU is to take a machine gun and kill tsk, Ukrainian police, and conscious activists. Then we'll see that you are smart and honest people who have atoned for your mistakes with your heroism.

        A fitting quote from our Soviet film, no offense intended:
        "Uncle Vova, are you completely nuts?!"
        Where could I "get a machine gun," even if, out of sheer stupidity or hopeless despair, being terminally ill, I intended to enter into an unequal battle alone, surrounded by enemies, with a predictable outcome, against superior Banderinatist forces in my city or village?!
        During World War II, the Americans and British at least dropped disposable "Liberator" guns to the Resistance over Nazi-occupied territories, and the goal of the war was clear to everyone: liberation from the hated Nazi yoke! I don't know of a single instance during the four years of this "non-war" where the Russians dropped even a single Makarov rifle, completely written off as scrap metal, and ammunition, "for the partisans and underground fighters," millions of which had been stockpiled in GRAU warehouses since Soviet times. Did the bourgeoisie really just plunder these countless stockpiles of "useless Soviet galoshes" and melt them down to build "temples named after themselves," as the stupid and incompetent "plywood marshal" did?!
        And the goals of the Central Military District, for which we should all be preparing, remain shrouded in the "fog of war," not clearly declared by the Kremlin itself, with only the occasional, ever-changing "hints" being voiced! And I'm supposed to believe these "piecemeal" muddleheads and "guess for them"?!
        What are the goals of the SVO and where is the guarantee that the corrupt "bourgeois insiders" of the Kremlin's hype-mongers, the "Crimea is Ours" will not betray us, Ukrainian Russian residents who survived the Maidan massacres of 2014, again, as they did in Novorossiya in 2014, as they did in Kyiv, Sumy, Slobozhanshchina, Kherson in 2022, and, in fact, to this day, out of a cowardly fear of further "sanctions" and in the name of the "Mir" bank card, "deals" and "deals" with "respected Western partners"?!
        What kind of "image of the future" does Putin's Moscow foretell for us, how do the Kremlin "fixers" see it (if, of course, they are "fixers" and not everyone in Washington decides everything for them, like for the Bandar-logs)?!
        And the partisan underground fighters in the occupied territory of Soviet Ukraine (and not for 36 years of anti-Soviet bourgeoisification and Banderization, when the "conscious" informers of the Banderohemtapo record video at every step, when old women-pensioners, who were exemplary Young Pioneers-Komsomol members during the Soviet Union, and even "members of the CPSU", like the ex-"member" female pre-Bandera Nazi witch "slobotovka", the right hand of the Nazifuhrer, also a former "Komsaktivist", female pre-Bandera member Alka Frotman-Tyagnibok, Farion, for no apparent reason attacked me with shouts of "enemy and traitor" only having heard my few words addressed to them in Russian, while we were waiting for public transport at the city bus stop) were effectively supported by the Soviet Capital of our Motherland - the USSR, Stalin's Moscow, the Headquarters of the partisan movement functioning in it, and there was hope for liberation from the Hitlerite scourge, and not for another "agreement between Stalin and Hitler about good gestures with an immediate regrouping and difficult decisions" (what were you thinking, Vladimir, when you read what was written above, or were you thinking with your head?!), which completely follows from the fussy efforts of the Kremlinites at any cost to quickly extricate themselves from the trap into which they got stuck with their adventurous attempt to "swap one awl for another", the clown-Z/Dobandera for "their godfather" - the Western Bandera thief-oligarch, without changing anything else, not even tearing down the outright Bandera-Nazi flags!
        And in our case, what we see is that "our own bourgeoisie" are doing; they don't even fire missiles at the TCCs and "decision-making centers" they know!
        In 2014, Moscow's bourgeoisie helped their Kyiv business partners and fellow "privatizers" drown in blood and strangle the anti-bourgeois, people's Russian Spring in Novorossiya!
        And only the murmurings among their Russian electorate prevented the Kremlin, in collaboration with "respected Western, Ukrainian, business partners," from strangling the neighboring Donbass as well, despite the repeated, hidden efforts to "shove Minsk back into Ukraine."
        But they also jointly extinguished the Russian Spring there, using the paws of the Bandar-logs to remove the most charismatic self-nominated leaders, and handing over the activists of the Russian Spring, the defenders of Donbass, from the Russian Federation to be dealt with by the Bandar-logs!
        Why do you, Vladimir, speak about yourself in the plural?we "We'll see"?!
        Are you really that "smart??? and honest?" What were you doing when the Yeltsinites staged an unconstitutional coup d'etat in Moscow in 1993, and when the "white ribbon" enemy "agents of influence" protested on Bolotnaya Square in 2012 against Putin's candidacy and "for Russia's European choice?" What "feats" did you personally accomplish, who and how many did you "kill"?!
        What moral right do you, Vladimir, have to judge the "mistakes" (imaginary ones) of other people, if you yourself are not without sin?!
        Are you really writing your comments to me "from the front", "on the boot" of "your dead friend" lying in front of you?!
        Unfortunately, I didn't see your own thoughts in your "comments," but only a repost of "protective propaganda," Krylov's fables, and Vysotsky's songs.
        Are you naive enough to think that I don’t know them, don’t listen to Vysotsky’s songs, and didn’t learn Krylov’s fables by heart in the lower grades of a Soviet secondary school?!
        Once again proves that you don’t think with your own head at all, but are only an object of external manipulation of your consciousness, alas!
        You don't need to imitate your "intellectual efforts" anymore; to my regret, you can't do it.
        I don't think I wasted my time on your sad example of "philistine thoughtlessness," because you're not the only one reading the Reporter website, and I'm sure there are many sensible people in Russia and elsewhere who will understand us and draw their own conclusions.
        Thank you, Vladimir, for your attempt to demonstrate intellectual abilities, which are quite good for your level, since there are much, much more narrow-minded and brainless philistines in Ukraine and Russia, and you will easily find your own among them, and you will appear to them to be quite an "intellectual"!

        You're again looking for excuses for your inaction, but you need to find ways. Weapons are issued to many people in your country, and they're also sold, and in wartime, they're sold en masse. Besides, you can stab a thug with a kitchen knife or hack him to death with axes, or even with a brick from a roof. Haven't you banned axes there yet, or pitchforks? And you don't want to destroy the fascists, especially at the risk of your own life. You're looking for excuses. You may have heard Vysotsky, but his profound song, Hamlet's song, clearly hasn't reached your soul.
        
        To be or not to be, that is the question: should we resign ourselves to the blows of fate or should we resist?
        
        I would have fled the former USSR long ago, and here in Russia I have repeatedly and clearly expressed my negative opinion to young Russian fascists and advised them to join the Russian community and forget about the swastikas. But the youth still draw swastikas (in their language, swastons) and this is sad and not much that Russians are better than the residents of the former USSR, because the correct ideology is only recently forming and not all the problems have been solved yet... Moreover, if you are terminally ill, you will not die a worm in bed but a hero. You have a fearless woman there in Odessa, and I know only a few brave men, but they killed Farion and TSKshniks are sometimes killed, which means there are real men there, but few yet.

        Well, Vladimir, it's already quite clear to me that you're some kind of "armchair theorist" (being "on your own wavelength") and you're completely incoherent with "cause-and-effect relationships" and you're really bad at absorbing what you read (or are you so eager to "put in your two cents" that you write your pompous "answers" without even reading your opponent's answers? ), alas!

It seems to me that there is a direct proportionality between the degree of stupefaction of the population and the duration of wars.

  This is true in both directions - the absence of a consolidating, inspiring and enlightening population, progressive state ideology and a coherent strategy for state-building in the Russian Federation also greatly affects the course and duration of the unreasonably protracted "planned (according to a very, very secret "plan", which the public has not yet been informed about!) bourgeois non-war" on the territory of Ukraine and the Russian Federation!

    You're not paying attention, apparently, you just don't know that Putin has already declared a state ideology and is already in the process of developing and disseminating it to the masses: "traditional cultural and religious values." At the same time, bans have been introduced on the propaganda of perversions and pedophilia, and even vile childfiction, and love for the West, websites are being shut down, harmful content is prohibited... Well, the ideology of the Ukromaidan is pro-Western, that is, the direct opposite of the Russian one, and there are parades of perverts in Kyiv. So choose: are you for traditional values or for complete perverted liberalism? And this is not only a military campaign but also a war of opposing ideologies. http://www.kremlin.ru/acts/bank/48502?erid=LjN8K8S

      Vladimir, do you have strange ideas about "state-sideology"?!
      "Our esteemed Western partners" of the Kremlin, the American "advisers" and curators of Yeltsin (with his cabal of "their bourgeois"), specifically and strictly prescribed a taboo for "their bourgeois" in the bourgeois Russian Constitution - a ban on a single state ideology!
      It's precisely to prevent Yeltsin's (and his successors') Russia from being able to "rise from its knees" in reality (in words, yes, wow, it's been "successfully rising from its knees" for 26 years now, but without the US, it's impossible—it has to beg the "hegemons" for everything, otherwise the Kremlin, under "the masters' sanctions," the Kremlinites "fall prostrate" and are forced to beg, "voluntarily make gestures and submit"—to yield to the "hegemons," regardless of Russia's own strategic state interests). "Rise from its knees" and remain, hopelessly, in the status of an American colony—a "gas station country"!
      Was the Russian Constitution really rewritten in a non-American colonial manner?!
      Are you, in your philistine way, confusing state ideology with "moral, cultural, spiritual, and religious values"?!
      What a mess you have in your head, Vladimir, and yet you start pompously "talking about the people" and "teaching others how to live" when you yourself have little understanding of politics and life!

        And you are telling this to me, the main ideologist of Russia???? What is ideology? We're translating it as the science of ideas. What is an idea? It's a system of postulates, laws, principles, for example, "autocracy, Orthodoxy, nationality" or "workers of the world unite." What's worse about "patriotism, traditional spiritual and moral values, and the sociality of the state"? Note that Stalin abolished the idea of world revolution in 1937 but didn't change the external slogans. So, by abolishing the lack of ideology with his decree, Putin will eventually completely remove the enemy clause from Yeltsin's constitution.
        
        Now about the timing... Stalin formally received his position after the assassination of Sverdlov in 1918, but he only gained full, real power in 1938... having removed all his enemies and transformed the economy... Putin formally gained power in 2000, amid the Seven Bankers and Khodorkovsky regimes, general economic devastation and military-technical decline, poverty, non-payment of wages, and the war in Chechnya... and only in 2022 did Putin gain freedom in foreign policy and abolish the shameful payment of tribute to the Americans through the reconciled fund.
        Are you blaming Putin for not standing up for Ukraine and Donbass in 2014? Did you think so!!! The paratroopers were already on the planes!!! And did you know that in 2014, the West would not have imposed the ridiculous sanctions of 2022, but would have simply left the entire population without wages, pensions, and benefits? By the way, the MIR map was created between 2014 and 22, and for good reason... And during this same period, arms production was established, export routes were developed under the conditions of expected sanctions, a huge amount of financial resources were withdrawn from the West, gold and silver were purchased, an import substitution program was carried out, at least in the military sphere... And with you, it's all just "take and seize," like in the fairy tale about the tsar... Not everything is so simple, politics is the art of the possible

        Well, Vladimir, you have become entrenched in your delusions!
        The stereotypical "conservative bourgeois propaganda" has become too ingrained in your head; you haven't generated a single fresh thought that would indicate that you're turning on your own head and starting to think independently, alas.
        Find out what state ideology actually is and what state-building is, what it consists of and how it is ensured!
        Well, the difference between a "politician" and a "politician", at least in the formulation of Winston Churchill (he was a seasoned enemy of ours, an anti-communist and anti-Soviet, not comparable to today's small-time hyenas and jackals, but, in life, a smart and courageous man and politician, there is something to learn from him).

        And here you are wrong. Lippman was the seasoned manipulator of public opinion, not his boss Churchill. I studied with Lippman (though from his books). It was Lippman who invented the Cold War, and the USSR was destroyed using his technologies. Lippman also persuaded the US President not to attack the USSR, but to defeat the USSR through manipulation of people's souls.

        Well done, Vladimir! You're not hopeless!
        It's not just what you've said that distinguishes a statesman-like politician. He builds his policies with strategic thinking, taking into account the well-being of future generations, with a vision (predictive foresight and corresponding actions to implement it) for many decades to come!
        And the politician "lives one day at a time - any day until evening" like "after us, even the Flood" (well, what can I say about the Kremlinites?! )!
        This is, in general terms, the very essence of the difference.

  Will the "powerful, Ukrainianizing non-Ukrainians and non-Russians" not jump into the trap of becoming "pro-Russians" (as the bourgeois Crimean bureaucrats did when "Crimea is ours" became official?)? That's not why they staged the anti-Russian "razmaidan" of the former Ukrainian SSR—they'll simply flee with the loot from a Ukraine destroyed and sold to foreigners to more prosperous climes—to their own foreign "farms"! Well, unless the Russian authorities declare an amnesty for them, so that those former "pro-Ukrainian" bureaucrats who don't flee can secretly blame Russia for their "missed opportunities"?!

  He hopes to present himself as a "pro-Russian candidate for Ukroprez" from among the locals (a kind of "consensus" candidate, acceptable to both Washington and Moscow) in the event of favorable American-Russian "agreements on Ukraine"! He knows full well he won't win over Westerners, but he hopes to "wonder" the Russian-speaking part of the Ukrainian "lokhtorat," as his friend Zelts managed to do in 2019, when "nothing is too much" during the "presidential elections of scum."

Arestovich confuses the freezing Kyivites, who had no choice but to laugh, with Zelensky, who is languidly strutting across Europe, allowing himself to laugh at the Kyivites, the residents of Donbass, and some other people who consider him an untouchable person, close to the emperor.

He's not getting anything mixed up! Zelya is Zelya, and the Kyivites are a bunch of sellouts! And yes! They were jumping up and down and cheering the bombing of Donbas. They deserved it, basically! And Lyusyok is great! He changes his shoes mid-jump like a master.

  It must be said that Arestovich is no dumb, Western-style thug, and he changed his tune practically at the outset of the SVO, calculating all the political risks and choosing the right media approach. There are other striking "Soros school" types, such as the "frantic" Bezuglaya.
