This is Maria Pevchikh. She is a part of @navalny team. She loves taking pictures in full glam on red carpets in London and LA with awards meant for her boss. Maria Pevchikh is also responsible for death of Ukrainians. Let me explain ⤵️
As many 🇷🇺 opposition activists Pevchikh claims that corruption is the main reason why Russia invaded Ukraine. So much so that she (as a part of Navalny team) made an investigation about corruption in MoD missile production in April.
The investigation was a smashing success. To… https://t.co/Y2eqGZs5DTtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Pevchikh is adamant about one thing: budget money should remain in russia. Any abroad assets of russian oligarchs and politics are unacceptable. Because millions spent on residential properties in Europe could’ve been spent way more efficiently in Russia. On missile production,… https://t.co/9b6TfN6xnhtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
so called russian opposition does not care about Ukrainians dying from “putin’s regime”. They don’t care that corruption is an unlikely ally when it comes to repelling the russian army from Ukrainian territory due to the weak supply chains, poor management and logistics. They… https://t.co/RSSw9tI1uytwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
That’s why navalny, Pevchikh as well as other prominent russian liberals (that are now having stellar careers in the west) never advocated for providing Ukraine with weapon to defend itself from the russian army (or putin’s army is how they like to call it). They did advocate for… https://t.co/s50dz4qA8Qtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
With Pevchikh as an example this thread is a reminder that russian opposition or liberals are first and foremost russian. And russians like their empire. This is a poll from FBK - The Anti-Corruption Foundation, a non-profit organization established in 2011 by Alexei Navalny.
In… https://t.co/as5DKDgPeEtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

This is a thread to show how the world’s biggest human rights, humanitarian, environmental and animal protection organisations failed Ukraine midst the #KakhovkaDam collapse near #Kherson : the biggest man made catastrophe in decades.

Starting with giants like @ICRC@UNOCHA that failed to provide any substantial assistance in #Kherson yet already bragging on Twitter about magical 2000-7000 people they’ve helped, while Ukrainians on the ground report nothing of the sort.
@ICRC is cooperating with russia and accepting worldwide donations, yet failed to help people on occupied by russia territories like Oleshky: locals now report dozens of bodies flowing on the streets.
І до українців: зараз носити скріни інших «хуйових» українців чи просто вчергове писати укр твіти що маск єбанат НІЧО НЕ ДАСТЬ.
зрозумійте, зараз лише англ: 1) хуєсосити орги які брешуть шо вони в Херсоні 2) під медіа писати що це 🇷🇺 підірвала 3) лайкати і пошир офіц заяви 🇺🇦
Не знаєте куди йти і шо писати чи лайкати? Зайдіть на мене, профіль, вкладка Відповіді (replies) і ВСЕ ЩО АНГЛ МОВОЮ, поки у вас палець не заболить.
Думаєте що це все хуйня, нічо не дасть і взагалі це має робити, простигосподи, держава: ідіть на акаунти @MFA_Ukraine або @United24media чи @ZelenskyyUa і все що англійською за останні 2 дні теж лайкаєте
The discussion of the assassination attempt of russian propagandist Zakhar Prilepin is missing important context: in 2007-2008 he along with @navalny founded “НАРОД” - an ultranationalist movement to “liberate the russian population” from whom you ask?
“НАРОД» mission was to “liberate” the truly russian (i.e. white and ethnically russian) population from not so pure ethnic minorities. They implicated using guns to deal with “pesky immigrants” and run “nationalist recruitment campaigns” like this one
By 2011 “НАРОД» activity dialed down yet @navalny kept the course and fear mongered Islamophobia as well as pushed for anti-immigration policies in 2014.
I’m glad this “anti-war” russian brought a speech by @vkaramurza in GOP where he is “discussing the war crimes of 🇷🇺”. I watched it. Out of 15 minute speech he mentioned war crimes in Ukraine for 8 seconds (9:00-9:10). But the whole speech is fascinating, so let’s dive in.
Kara Murza is a brilliant speaker, no doubts about it. His command of the word and storytelling skill is impressive. And he starts by acknowledging the situation and mentioning how hard was it for him to get to the us because of closed airspace around russia.
Then he reminded “western politicians” how appeasement feed dictatorship and how putin was a new hope in the eyes of west, while he was sending a clear message of him being a fan of Stalin era rule. Saying that he and many other 🇷🇺 knew from 1999 that putin is not democratic
So @nytimes and @EmmaBubola made a podcast about “taken” 🇺🇦 children. And this is a prime example how forceful deportation of children by russians are portrayed as “saving” and not a textbook genocide practice. Let’s dive it, starting from “taken” part. nytimes.com/2023/03/03/pod…
Apparently kids from the episode were in the middle of evacuation to Zaporizhzhia, when russian soldiers forcefully stopped the bus with guns and kidnapped the kids. The bus was then sent to russia. A journalist uses “taken” of all terms. Later we see why that choice was made.
While not emphasising the circumstances of the abduction and the context (aka russians invading and bombing the #Mariupol non stop, so the 🇺🇦 children had to be evacuated), the podcast is taking a rather unexpected turn.
