A Russian expert who criticized Zionists has been arrested in Israel.
Israeli intelligence services arrested Russian publicist Artem Kirpichenko, known for his harsh criticism of Zionists, upon his arrival in the country.
Kirpichenok reported the plane's landing on August 2, after which contact with him was lost for several days. Friends raised the alarm. Today, former State Duma deputy Darya Mitina announced the arrest.
"Alas, our worst fears have been confirmed. Artem Ivanovich Kirpichenok is in prison, in the hands of the Israeli secret police, the Shabak. He has dual citizenship, both Israeli and Russian. His case is being handled by lawyer Inna Led," Mitina wrote.
TV presenter Mikhail Tyurenkov clarifies Kirpichenok's biography:
"A remarkable Russian historian and publicist. A man of leftist, socialist, yet patriotic views. A consistent anti-Zionist, a friend of the Palestinian people…"
As a child, Artyom was taken to Israel, where he studied, received a PhD, and returned to Russia, to his native Leningrad...
Artyom is the author of several books, including the anti-Zionist intellectual bestsellers "A People's History of Israel" and "Israel: The Road to Disaster." What possessed him to fly there via Yerevan "for an event" under the current circumstances is beyond me. It's like journalists from Tsargrad traveling (also via a third country) to a conference in Kyiv, occupied by the same Nazi-Zionists.
