Igor Strelkov once said that if he was allowed to go fighting on the Ukrainian frontlines, then (the Kremlin) made the decision to fight until Russia wins the war. If he is jailed, i.e. that the “surrender party” definitely won in Russia.
On July 21, former DPR Defense Minister, Russian military and political activist, Igor Girkin (Strelkov) was arrested. He is charged with public calls to extremist activities through Internet.
The court arrested the former head of the DPR Defense Ministry until September 18 after a case was launched against him under Part 2 of Article 280 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (public calls for extremism using the Internet). Strelkov faces a sentence of up to five years in prison.
The prosecutor noted that Strelkov served in the operational unit of the special services and has the skills of conspiracy, insisting on his arrest. In his turn, Strelkov claimed that he had no intentions to leave the country or escape from the investigation.
“I have been living permanently in Moscow for 9 years, I have never been hiding from the FSB and other services… The investigator’s statement that I can hide abroad is ridiculous. Because I am wanted in many countries and sentenced to life by The Hague Court,” Strelkov reportedly claimed.
Strelkov reportedly said that he has angor pectoris of the second degree and asked for house arrest. In addition, he has three children, including one minor child, whom he supports financially. He added that he still has a grandmother who has a chronic illness. However, he was sent to a detention center until September 18.
Strelkov’s lawyer explained that the ex-minister of the DPR recognized the publication of two posts in his telegram channel.
On May 25, he expressed his opinion on the possible surrender of Crimea, calling it state treason. The second post, which led to the launch of the criminal case, told about the non-payments to the Russian military.
“It’s a disgrace if they don’t pay money to the assault regiment. And I agree with that,” Strelkov’s lawyer, commented on the issue.
Strelkov’s posts were reportedly checked by an “expert”. According to the lawyer, this is an unacceptable proof, since there are at least no necessary signatures and it is unclear who this expert is. In the case file there is a survey of a resident of the Crimea, which says that he read Strelkov’s post and felt indignation.
The case was initiated on July 18. According to preliminary data, it was launched at the request of a former employee of the Wagner PMC. Igor Strelkov had a conflict with Wagner’s Group. In particular, after the mutiny on June 24, Strelkov consistently sought condemnation of the actions of the PMC and its leader Yevgeny Prigozhin.
Strelkov was one of the leaders of the militia in the Donbass in 2014. From May 15 to August 14 of the same year, he served as the Minister of Defense of the DPR. After his retirement, Strelkov did not take part in military operations but attempted to come back to the front lines several times.
Strelkov recently created a so-called Club of Angry Patriots, and was considered one of the leaders of Russian patriotic opposition. His arrest may mark the beginning of a larger campaign against Russian patriotic opinion leaders. Moreover, Moscow’s campaign against Strelkov may also signal the change in the Russian policy and any new “goodwill gestures” by the Kremlin and the Russian military can be expected.
perfect ! very good this mongo got arrested. slowly but steadily the russian defence ministry neutralizes all those forces really willing to fight to win – so by getting rid of prigozhin and strelkov ru leadership is severely weakening the russian forces mentally and militariarly at a very decisive point of the war. i guess, i indeed might become a fan of mr. putin and mr. shoigu.
so by getting rid of prigozhin and strelkov ru leadership is severely weakening the russian forces mentally and militariarly at a very decisive point of the war. i’m sure afu will encounter wagner again, only this time from the north, and this man wasn’t even on the frontlines.
on the other side there is something like a common united army structure and discipline in army structures if such big operations like smo should be successful. no place for mutinies like wagner’s and narcistic persons like prigozhin or strelkov. they can articulate their opinion but not blackmail and dictate what the real command must do.
@darius is saying you, sitting at home shaking dick. but for the average soldier on the ground it is of highest priority to have the high command doing the right decisions and not wasting russian lives like shit. how can it be that the 2nd best army in the world after nearly 2 years isn t able to occupy even one 5th of ukraine let alone finish off its army ??? that’s utter incompetence !
why is it that novorussia has returned to russia, just like crimea did, if russia was having such a difficult time? why is it that nato has run out of weapons and military, to send ukraine, if russia is doing so badly?
i never trust a fat military leader. actually i can’t think of any fat politicians i trust either!
strelkov is a piece of shit war criminal and a tchetnik. death to strelkov and good on the russian authorities for arresting this mongoloid fascist
when he was running as a presidential candidate, he appeared to be using the same script that you would find a $oro$ funded candidate would use. never trusted him or those who supported him, since those days. admired him in 2014, then after that he came across pure narcistic.
you mean nazistic
my thoughts as well, am.
he is a brave and capable soldier, but he is not a team player.
without strelkov there would have been no dpr.
without strelkov there will still be 2.220.499 inhabitants of dpr , he lived recently anyway not in dpr. after 5 years in prison (in worst case) he can come back and then there will be dpr again ok? but let’s wait what the judgement is
@darius yes and without putin, shoigu, berel lazar and abramovich there will still be russia, cold weather and lots of vodka there. so what ? fact is: your whole post is a big promotion and manifest pressuring for the urgent arrest of war crimanl putin. but you brain-lame humunculus obviously can t even see it.
without putin there would be a big disneyland (called rossiya) of maybe 100 sqkm near former moscow run by soros and kolomoyski , where some former russian artists are allowed to sing kalinka and dance hopak to entertain the western tourists. everybody in russia knows it , even putin’s enemies.
@karl exactly. what is exactly what i said here from the very beginning. this war is not about savin russia or ukraine nor about saving people in donbass or building up autonomous dpr. it is just to get naive white christian slaves in this regard slavic people to massacre each other, on behalf and to the full benefit of fat ugly jews, laughing their asses off due to the stupidity of the christians slaughtering each other.
…never trusted him or those who supported him, since those days. admired him in 2014, then after that he came across pure narcistic.”
to your point what happened to him after his involvement in 2014… are you saying he was a traitor and spy, much like prighozin is being portrayed?…
or is he legitimate and know the problems and impediments that kept russia from doing what they should have done 9 years ago???…
getting to the point. vitaly churkin rip for what he warned about before his murder!…
russia was not ready for it, 9 years ago. plus, 9 years ago donetsk and lugansk voted to become an independent federation, emphasis on the independent, not dependent on either russia or ukraine. in 2022, they voted to link with russia, owing to the fact that ukraine would not honour the minsk ii peace agreement, and they knew what was planned for march 2022.
no, after he got replaced after the siege of sloviansk he turned bitter and twisted and a legend in his own ego. he never believed that donetsk would be able to fight on without himself. 2016 he started up his own political party, and together with his blogs, he seemed to be running the $oro$ script. saying exactly what would please the sbu, owing to his envy of president putin. it is so not needed, when the nation is battling for there very existence.
never say anything derogatory about putin on southfront even if it speaks truth!
i hope russia has an unenviable 3rd coup shortly that will get rid of the fifth column that has been the biggest obstacle since 2014 along with it’s titular head very soon
israel and our equal western partners can kill all the russian generals and experienced russian senior officers they want, kremlin will continue to be equal liberal partners.
who are “our equal western partners”?
quem falar a verdade na rússia pegar prisão, toda oposição a putin é punido, é uma ditadura, a morte de milhares de russos na ucrânia, culpa de uma atitude de putin fazer essa guerra.
i’m disappointed russia allowed strelkov to be arrested. the kremlin should listen to him more. in fact, they should have listened to him in 2014. another political prisoner, just like we have in the us.
@karl yes,it is the same everywhere usa,ru,uk,eu,cn, all ruled by rothchild jewish banker mafia cartel& collaborateurs with thos from behind.andin all those places if you criticize the jewish controlled government & its actions – they will persecute you&eighter murder you or at least strip ya of all your belongings& money & put you in jail on unfounded accusations of being a”evil person”,”promoting hate, antisemitism,uproar”or whatever bullshittheir jewish brains phantasize.
does the russian government really insist on destroying every anchor of morality and honesty in this country? i am speachless. just idiots on an amok run. unbelievable.
i have started to believe that putin is a dictator.
you have allready started some more ideas here on sf , if i can remember
yes he is part of the dictator-cartel called nwo-jwo which wants a world government – hidden behind united nations comittee. and to camaouflage their criminal enterprise they play this shitty theater nato vs. brics – polar world vs. multipolar world when in fact it is both jews trying to conquer earth by fooling , robbing and exterminating none jews worldwide. but you, sephiroth, as a jew by name, you for sure know all this already.
unfortunately, he is not. putin is weak. he doesn’t dare to destroy western agents, spy and terrorists but he arrested strelkov because he said gorbachev was jew.
one example: estonia, lithuania and that third shit (lolania? whatever) are still connected to rus. electrical grid. russia can easily turn of their electricity. but putin gave words to his partners or whatever.
strelkov is right. not about everything, but at least 2/3 right.
we will see the results in the end it is to early to do more then guesses but it might be that russia is really preparing the ground for a full retreat from ukraine including potentially crimea.
cause the us/ uk and their ukrainian and eastern european allies are hell bent on this.
russia can either defeat them all (which russia seems not willing to) or give up on this war. they do not let them go away with any thing less.
as i said above, estonia, lithuania and latvia are still connected to rus. electrical grid and russia can easily turn of their electricity. let these chihuahuas bark in dark . but no, putin inexplicably wait for them to connect to poland. and when they do, they will blockade kaliningrad.
