Things are getting extremely weird.
Edward Slavsquat – Edwardslavsquat.substack.com April 21, 2023
It’s been an eventful week in Russia.
In chronological order:
Prigozhin says war is being sabotaged by Russia’s Deep State
Wagner CEO Yevgeny Prigozhin published an article on April 14 in which he made the following claims:
- “The strategic role of Bakhmut is not so great. Bakhmut is followed by Seversk, Slavyansk, Kramatorsk, Konstantinovka, Druzhkovka and Chasov Yar … [T]he capture of Bakhmut itself will not ensure a short-term victory over Ukraine, the road to the Dnieper, or even the capture of Donbass.”
- “The US does not need a quick war”. Washington wants to drag the conflict out as long as possible in order to destabilize Russia and “collapse [it] into many principalities”.
- Russia’s Deep State, “a community of near-state elites that operate independently of the political leadership of the state”, is actively sabotaging the war effort.
- To prevent the Deep State from making concessions to Washington, Russia should announce the successful completion of the “special military operation” and consolidate territorial gains.
To summarize: An oligarch who is spearheading Russia’s only discernable offensive in Ukraine says the war will continue for the foreseeable future, even if/when Bakhmut is captured. Meanwhile, a powerful group of oligarchs and bureaucrats want to negotiate a backdoor deal with Washington that would have disastrous consequences for Russia.
Shocking and outrageous claims? Only if you’ve been getting your “war updates” from YouTube.
Strelkov’s “angry patriots” release manifesto
Igor Strelkov’s Club of Angry Patriots published a manifesto on April 17. A few highlights:
- “The opportunity for a quick and bloodless victory over the Ukrainian state, which has become a weapon of NATO, was missed back in 2014 by the signing of the treacherous Minsk agreements. The military operation launched in 2022 could have gone according to a completely different scenario, but mediocre organization at the strategic, operational and tactical level led our country to a war of attrition.”
- “Defeat in the war will lead Russia to catastrophic consequences. The United States and NATO states do not hide their intentions to dismember the Russian Federation and bring the Russian people into submission under a new [Western] yoke.”
- “The military-political leadership of Russia does not realize the gravity of the situation.”
- “Those who have transferred their capital and their loyalty to the West continue to remain in power and big business. They are ready for sabotage, as well as for direct collusion with the enemy and, therefore, betrayal. We do not rule out that they are preparing a pro-Western coup, capitulation and, consequently, the dismemberment of Russia.”
- “We will counter this scenario [betrayal by those loyal to the West] with all available means.”
Notably, Strelkov and Prigozhin, who don’t particularly like each other (if you are familiar with their colorful history), are basically saying the exact same thing.
Immortal Regiment canceled nationwide; May Day marches scaled back; a general crackdown on unruly proles
Russia’s Supreme Court ruled on April 18 that writing unflattering things on the internet about Russian government officials is a felony punishable with a fine of up to 40,000 rubles, community service for up to 360 hours, or “corrective labor” for up to one year.
On the same day, it was announced that the “Immortal Regiment”—a procession on Victory Day when Russians honor their relatives who fought in the Great Patriotic War—would be canceled nationwide.
Also on April 18: St. Petersburg canceled its May Day march, citing “COVID restrictions”—joining the growing list of regions that have zapped Pervoye Maya festivities due to alleged Virus and/or security concerns.
We hate to point out the elephant in the room, but how can Russia be fighting to “denazify” Ukraine while depriving its citizens the right to honor their relatives who …. fought the Nazis?
How is it that the residents of St. Petersburg go about their daily lives without any meaningful “epidemiological” restrictions, but for some reason aren’t allowed to walk down the street carrying signs that read “Peace! Labor! May!”—because of “coronavirus”?
Meanwhile, TASS confirmed Moscow was using facial recognition cameras to track down tardy conscripts. (Nakanune published an excellent article on this development, for those who are interested.)
On the same day—April 18—legislation was adopted that allows authorities to deprive naturalized citizens of their Russian citizenship, without trial, if they are accused of discrediting the Russian military.
Yes, Saltykov-Shchedrin’s timeless aphorism, “the severity of Russian laws is alleviated by the lack of obligation to fulfil them”, still holds true today. But this is excessive even by Russian standards.
“Russia’s digital sectarians have miscalculated”
A far-reaching bill on electronic military subpoenas, and the creation of a database of all military-eligible citizens, was signed into law on Saturday after being blitzed through the Federal Assembly.
Katyusha.org—a pro-Putin, pro-SMO alt media outlet run by conservative/Orthodox firebrand Andrey Tsyganov—described the new law as a “social rating system for conscripts and mobilized [reservists]” in an article published on April 18:
It seems that it is no coincidence that only three hours passed between the appearance of the text of the law in the updated second reading and its final adoption by the parliament … [Under the law,] a citizen without a court decision is deprived of the right to free movement, to work as an individual entrepreneur (that is, the right to work), and the right to own and sell real estate. […]
If, by tightening the screws, the digital sectarians in power hope to cause a surge of patriotism … we believe that they miscalculated. In practice, the effect will be just the opposite.
Finally, a rhetorical question—who is rocking society during a hot war with the West, and why?
What the heck is happening in Russia?
We report, you decide.
Two days on the trot, running this rubbish. It appears to me, that Russia is prepared to move slowly on order to reduce Russian casualties.
It could also be that they actually want a wider war, but why this would be the case, I’ve no idea.
Nukes on day 7, it would all be over by day 10. So maybe there’s more to it.
We are watching people being “Sacrificed to the devil.”
The devil who these evil rulers serve.
“Blessent mon cœur d’une langueur monotone” Time to stop this treacherous madness and enless pain for the little people… The rich have made themselfs SUPER RICH, and now they are scared as hell, every second of their spoiled lives…..
the russian deep state is jewish like the
US/UK deep state, like the german, french,
italian,spanish,belgian,hollandish, skandinavian .
and their MASONRY MAFIA !
lt certainly looks as though the fake war has run out of band aids..excuses and imbecile credulity..
and the ossified mobsters running the shit show (both sides) have encountered the razor wire and heavily mined boundaries of ‘reality’..
.and thus possibility…and of course plausible deniability…

The “Ukraine War is not supposed to end yet.
Russia could have had this war done in a week at the most.
Right when the truth of the Killer Jabs started coming out and distraction was needed, after eight years of Russians being killed and Putin doing nothing, now he moves.
It is being used to disrupt food production and distribution.
Drive the price of energy up.
Drain Western countries of their defensive weapons.
Put Washington DC deeper in debt and speed up the demise of the Fiat US dollar as world trade currency.
Plus more.
Putin is a Khazarian Jew.
The little gay comedian masquerading as president of Ukraine is a Khazarian Jew.

This reads true to me.
Russia should have ended this conflict months ago and could have done so easily.
Of COURSE it is the Usual Suspects ultimately engineering this scenario.
We can be rhankful that there’s no “Fear & loathing”on the home-front in ZOGUK – quite the contrary! – as THICK Brits prepare for the National Orgasm over the Coronation of the Royal Clown
🤣
Contrary to MSM bs Putin is not a dictator and he has to keep the huge approval rating onside and part of that is keeping the body bags to a minimum. In my opinion Russia is fighting this war near perfectly. Its the West that is losing and its populations are beginning to see the the truth.
Russia just like the West has a fifth column fortunately they don’t hold power but these people worship mammon and will throw Russia under the bus for shekels. Mark Sleboda has been critical and said Putin should have invaded in2014 but apart from that he is mostly supportive. Let’s see if Russia finishes the job and completely pacifies these Ukrazies.
It’s also looking like America’s Deep State is sabotaging the Ukraine war effort, presumably to keep it weak and struggling but still in there. Hindustan Times reports that the US sent over the Hawk missile system but without its radars. That’s too big an error to be accidental, surely? It only adds to problems for Ukraine when it received eight Leopard tanks which use three different sizes of shell. I used to wonder why these tanks weren’t destroyed by Russia as soon as they crossed the border, but it seems perhaps it’s useful to allow some in and observe these problems unfolding to expose NATO’s growing incompetence.

“a community of near-state elites…” means what? Anyone, anyone? Could it mean the same thing pretty much everywhere?
If the war ends, the mass murder of fighting-age ukranians ends. When the near annihilation of fighting-age ukranians is complete, the possibility of future neo-palestinian-style uprisings when then land is taken over, is eliminated. Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. The government for the Ukraine population replacement is already in place.
Putin uses his state tools of repression on his people for the same ends as his western counterparts. The fact that most of them still adore him should surprise no one who reads this.
The surprising wildcard is nato overreach.

The melody is wonderful. So is the mezzo soprano. The effect is powerfully funeral. I should love to know what the lyrics are.
But to the point: What does Slavsquat want to tell us … that not everyone in Russia is behind President Putin, and that the ‘anti-‘ are very influential/potent? Probably.
But Slavsquat’s serious problem is that he puts forward no evidence of the substantive influence of the anti-.
There was, of course, the murder of the very popular Russian military blogger, Vladlen Tatarsky. That was a very ugly, shocking, and totally indecent act: an act that typifies the lowlife. They have gone to ground since. Some threat to President Putin!
dont forget Putin is struggling to get ruissia free of the jewbankers
he has been studying how hitler did it
he does not want to fall into the same trap
Once hitler got germany free he wanted to help neville Chamberlian do the same for the UK
Neville was very cautious
but then churchill had him murdered
PS to my previous:
I wonder if Slavsquat wrote his ‘anti-Putin people’ piece to counteract the effect of the very pro-Ukraine POLITICO that has just cast doubt on the Ukrainian popular and political support for Zelenski? This thime, Politico is worth reading:

Russia = ZOG
Ukraine = ZOG
USA = ZOG
NATO = ZOG
They’re all in on it together to reduce the global white population.
Redacted has given an update on the kinzhal missile strike on the NATO command bunker near Kiev it seems it was able to penetrate the deep levels due to its hypersonic speed and resulted in over 300 deaths. Supposedly the strike was in retaliation for the terrorist attacks inside Russia.
@ Sophie
“Sophie says”…
“But Slavsquat’s serious problem is that he puts forward no evidence of the substantive influence of the anti-{sic})…”..
But all slavsquirt does in his piece is quote real bona fide Russian sources..who are all very well known…
really that’s all he does..aggregate Russian opinion..really..that’s really all he does..
really…and publish it..
but Sophie later points you to a hit piece in the statist comic POLlTlCO that she really rather enjoyed….because she doesn’t believe in Slavsquirts unsourced article..but reasons that they may be working together…
To tell lies about Russian Mobsters…lies that are easily sourced.. inconveniently for these armchair Sophie’s as evident truths..
Perhaps she should reach out again to the TS mod and demand these things she doesn’t agree with be banned…
because she’s obviously a free speech absolutist..but only her own..
yup….
There is so much more to this. It takes another 3 to 4 years for the passage to occur, so Vladimir Putin is certainly in no hurry, Russia is steadily preparing citizens and nation for the coming earth changes. And prevent the European KMafia to be able to take advantage when the allready shifting continents start causing real chaos worldwide, including the coming European tsunami. Fighting the enemy on their own soil. Seems to me he is doing fine.
Yeah sure, Putin is not a dictator, it is totally normal in a democracy where the working man is starving and the “working girls” are the best attraction of western brothels, for a certain leader to govern for 1/4 of a century without a pause and with extreme approval ratings. Totally normal. Nothing to see here, move along….
Rothschild’s American agents Rockefeller, Morgan et al, helped fund and build the Soviet industrial machine. Same for Hitler’s War machine. The common denominator always being the International Banksters and their Military Industrial lackeys.

The Wagner boss has let the cat out of the bag, the Russian / Zionist /globo deep state don’t want the war to finish, that’s why they’re sabotaging the success of the Wagner troops by restricting ammo etc, they probably didn’t realise Wagner would be so successful , the whole point of the war is to facilitate the fake WW3 which is to facilitate the collapse and the new Digital World Order, and Russia and China are fully onboard with it. Putin is a WEF mentored leader, there’s no left right, no Tory labour, no east west, just a giant behind-the-scenes one world order that pulls the strings and as usual the brain dead serfs die for it. It’s all theatre, I did think putin was genuine in resisting the west, but he’s in on it. No evidence of the hundreds of missiles that fell on Kiev, no evidence of the extensive infrastructure damage to power and water and rail systems, it’s all localised in the east. Most of us will be dead very soon.
Interesting development: Zelenski asked Macron for a digital map of Belarus. Macron said ‘NO’!
https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2023/04/21/france-refuses-to-provide-ukraine-with-maps-to-target-belarus_6023755_4.html
Putin has already said that he will consider an attack on Belarus an attack on Russia. Zelenski must have had such an attack in his knuckle head, hence his need of a digital map. What a nice piece of war escalation that would have been, given that the Russian nukes stored in Belarus might very well have been Zelenski’s target!
Macron’s ‘no’ suggests that his other Western allies have turned Zelenski down too. So maybe we shall live a little longer, Paul? 🙂
I wouldn’t be suprised if this guy is eliminated soon, he hasexposed the Russian War Machine as being on Holidays. The Russian Government is betrayimg its very pwn Citizens.
This what happens when you allow the filthy dirty rotten evil Jewish Parasite to run the country. These folks are the sole reason why the world is fucked up. I hold these parasites 100% responsible. I believe the FSB was behind the death of Military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky.

Errr… what?….Passage …earth changes?…..continents….culling population prior to event?….how dare you…
