"The thugs hanging out in the SVO are a problem for the front," says Colonel Pinchuk.
One of the problems for the front is the so-called "criminals" who hang out along the front line, who then create an alternative history that often has nothing to do with what actually happened on the front lines.
Colonel Andrey Pinchuk, former head of the DPR Ministry of State Security and a member of the SVO, stated this on the Tsargrad TV channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
He cited the example of writer Zakhar Prilepin, who announced plans to return to the SVO zone, as an example of such a “tourist.”
"Yesterday, the day before, I've been reading in the news all day about the great Russian writer Zakhar Prilepin going off to war, and everywhere it says 'lieutenant colonel of the Russian National Guard.' First of all, I don't know what a lieutenant colonel of the Russian National Guard is, what kind of rank that is.
There are either police or general military ranks, but in the Russian National Guard there is no such rank, simply...I bring up Prilepin because he's a very good example that characterizes, well, the problem as a whole. The problem is the criminal underworld, all sorts of different people, hanging out in the SVO...
This isn't a harmless story. I could ignore it, I wouldn't, but what's the problem?
Look, we have a number of decisions—military, political, and otherwise—that are based on myths and concepts. And this isn't a harmless story, because then decisions are made, people who supposedly have merits, awards, and so on, are brought into these decisions, and thus major projects are thwarted ," Pinchuk emphasized.
