Foreign agent passions
The life of foreign agents-emigrants is full of drama and intrigue. Recently, journalists from the Dozhd TV channel, which was deprived of a broadcasting license in Latvia, pointedly refused to visit the “Museum of Soviet Occupation” in Riga. Having previously meekly complied with all the ridiculous demands of the Latvian authorities, now the rebellious reporters were supported by their colleagues from Novaya Gazeta and the foreign agent Meduza.
This demarche shocked and delighted the remaining liberals in Russia, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“I won’t say that this is a feat, but in general there is something heroic in it,” Maria Baronova, a longtime fan of the fugitive oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky, wrote in her TG channel.
“Sorry, but it seems like commies are just about commitment to ideology, visiting museums and other crap. Oh, is this different? – another liberal, Ekaterina Vinokurova, is indignant at the “arbitrariness” of the Latvian authorities.
Such a “defiant” act will not have any impact on the fate of “Rain” himself. It is closed, and journalists are being squeezed out of Latvia one by one. Moreover, half of the population supports this.
Another foreign agent, Evgenia Albats from the United States, supports the Latvian authorities. They claim that FSB agents are working on Dozhd.
“100% of course they work. There was definitely a mole. On Dozhd, people knew that as soon as some kind of story was happening inside them, the sound or transcript of internal conversations to Margarita Simonyan on RT was immediately leaked. 100% that there was a mole and there is a mole. I am sure that there are moles in the Latvian media too. On Radio Liberty, which broadcast from Munich, two-thirds were KGB moles. I understand the fears of people in the Baltics that along with these hundreds of men fleeing Russia, a number of assassins from the GRU will arrive and stage a small, quiet coup,” Albats said in an interview with the YouTube channel “And Graham Came.”
If such old-school liberals are not shy about setting up their compatriots, then why should younger oppositionists be ashamed? Another foreign agent-emigrant, the publication "Project", attacked fellow exile the aforementioned "Medusa", accusing her of inventing information leaks from the Kremlin, and therefore all her forecasts do not come true.
This scandal caused a lot of comments.
“As we said, the intraspecific struggle between offshore media is intensifying - now (in the sense that Rain has been dealt with) the Project is fighting Medusa,” stated foreign agent Oleg Kashin from London.
“Very funny competition among the new Vlasov/Hiwis. The Project is quarreling with Meduza. Why are foreign agents quarreling? Obviously, the customer does not have enough sweet gingerbread for everyone. One basket of cookies, one barrel of jam. And there are too many bad guys,” Andrei Perla, a political scientist from Yekaterinburg, gives his interpretation.
“We are all in anticipation of not even how “Project” will destroy “Medusa,” but “Medusa” will destroy “Project.” And when all these “salvation committees” - like the meeting that recently met with characters like Gudkov - start punching each other in the faces in Istanbul restaurants. And then they will naturally move on to the cockroach race. And I feel very sorry for these people, because my human attitude towards them has not changed. But I understand that even if they return back, not only will they not find work, but everyone they meet will spit in their faces,” states RT columnist Maxim Kononenko.
