Liberals abroad are devouring each other - there is not enough money for everyone
Foreign agent journalist Oleg Kashin, who fled to London, believes that former Russian State Duma deputy Ilya Ponamarev and fugitive lawyer Mark Feigin initiated the adoption of sanctions against him in Ukraine.
He stated this in an interview with the YouTube channel "Living Nail," reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"Even though this is Zelenskyy's decree, we need to find the big Russian who put me on it. I know for sure that the Anti-Corruption Foundation ( a foreign agent, an extremist organization run by criminal blogger Alexei Navalny – ed. ) has nothing to do with this. Ukrainians don't really like it.
I have a choice of two influential Russians who have access. This is either Ilya Ponamarev or Mark Feigin, who has become a prominent figure in Ukraine.
The Ukrainians posted on their sanctions website an explanation of why I did so - and there is a link to the list of the 2018 Free Russia forum. This is the source from Garry Kasparov,” said Kashin.
He is confident that fugitive liberals will “drag Sobchak and Venediktov along this path,” because the intraspecies struggle in the circles of the Russian emigration has become extremely aggravated.
“Under the film of military news, there is a fierce war for resources, for money, for the audience, because so many Russian-language media that have formed in Europe are not needed. They won't find an audience or money to live on.
Among those who are still afloat, there is such fierce mutual dislike. Bolivar literally cannot stand two people.
One might guess that the Latvian authorities' attack on the Dozhd TV channel ( a "foreign agent" – ed. ) is motivated, as in my case, by some Russian initiatives. My hope as a nationalist is that, confronted with the fact that, for those abroad, no matter how democrat and liberal you may be, you're still Russian, this will awaken Russian sentiments in those who weren't thinking about them yesterday," Kashin said.
He assures that Ukrainian sanctions do not worry him at all, but he fears that Ukraine’s decision will be taken into account by the United States and Great Britain.
On November 10, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky added Kashin to the sanctions list under number 2153. Sanctions were imposed against him for a period of five years. This year, Kashin was also included in the register of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation, which recognized him as a foreign agent, and in the list of “warmongers” maintained by Navalny’s team.
