RUSSIA'S WAR ON ITSELF

[Lauren Johnson]

Many have long suspected that the Donbass warriors of 2014/5 were in fact not killed by Ukrainian agents, but by Russians of various sorts even including persons in high places in the Kremlin.  Rolo Slavskiy posted this about the murdered hero Moskovoy:

Remember when I shared longstanding rumors and conspiracy theories from within the patriot community in Russia that the Donbass militia commanders were being killed off by Moscow, not Kiev? Well, Strelkov has decided to share some new information on this dark conspiracy during one of his broadcasts:

Strelkov, in his recent live broadcast, said that the first deputy head of the GRU of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Lieutenant General Alekseev, most likely, was directly involved in the bestial murder of Alexei Borisovich Mozgovoy. Shortly before his death, Mozgovoy himself told Strelkov that Alekseev had directly threatened him with the same fate as Major Kostenko, who was ambushed by unknown persons in Transnistria. The threat, in fact, was carried out.

Here they are, Putin's generals. Behind the lines they kill their own, and they work strangers. When their owners conclude the Minsk agreements, make “difficult decisions”, strategic regroupings and grain deals - they take it under the hood and lick their owner's boot.

You might remember what I wrote about Mozgovoi last summer perhaps.


He was probably the most charismatic of the Donbass commanders who basically declared war on the oligarchy. His political philosophy closely matched my own, which I expounded in my book, in that he correctly identified Oligarchy as a general political concept and structure as being the root of the problems plaguing the Slavlands. Authoritarianism stands in opposition to Oligarchy. This is a perennial concept that most Westerners refuse to understand unfortunately.
Slavsquat wrote about Mozgovoi’s heroic example of resistance to the oligarchs as well:

By killing each other we became more free?

Yesterday was the 365th day of Russia’s “special military operation” in Ukraine. We have nothing to type to mark the occasion—everything we want to say about this conflict, we said in May (with brief follow-ups in September and October). …

All the other Donbass heroes were killed off as well. I assumed all this time that it was the private goon squads of oligarchs like Kurchenko who did the dirty deed. After all, Zacharchenko, the popular head of the DNR, was almost certainly killed of by Kurchenko, a once-powerful Kremlin oligarch, later:

But it seems that Russian spooks are still being used as goon squads for rent by the oligarchy. I thought that they had restored at least some semblance of their dignity and had stopped being rent boys for the oligarchs at least.
Seems I was wrong.
As you can see for yourselves, Moscow has no compunctions about being “moral”. No, when the oligarchy is threatened, the oligarchy strikes back and defends its own. This whole SMO was basically a rescue mission for Medvedchuk, wasn’t it? And then a fellow oligarch ended up trading away all the Nazis of Mariuple for one of the good old boys, didn’t they?
