Russia, Vladislav Surkov arrested
Voices of coup in Russia.
The dark figure of Vladislav Surkovknown for keeping a photo of US rapper Tupac next to a photo of Putin on his desk, is being held under house arrest in Russia.
Surkov, who is 57 or 59 years old (it is not clear to the Western press), was arrested as part of a wide-ranging criminal investigation that also led to the arrest of 150 Russian security officers.
The case concerns the alleged embezzlement of quasi 4 billion pounds by the security services to create an undercover intelligence network in Ukraine.
Surkov – former deputy prime minister of Russia – helped keep Putin in power by leading the country’s entire political system.
He created political parties of “opposition“who, in fact, were controlled by the Kremlin, while he also founded Nashi, the Russian equivalent of the Hitler Youth, with the aim of beating up supporters of those same parties.
Once a week – the site reads www.thesun.co.uk – met the heads of Russian television channels, indicating who to attack and who to support.
Describing his propaganda mission in June last year, Surkov told the Financial Times: “People need it. Most people need their heads to be full of thoughts. You will not feed people with highly intellectual speech. Most people eat simple foods … Generally, most people consume beliefs with very simple meaning. This is normal. There is haute cuisine and there is McDonald’s “.
Surkov also encouraged Putin to believe that Ukraine is not a real country and previously asked Russia to annex not only Ukraine but also Belarus, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
He was fired in February 2020 for political differences with the Kremlinbut his arrest appears to be a further sign that Putin is turning against his former allies.
His detention is reportedly linked to the arrest of a senior security officer, Colonel Sergei Beseda, now being held in the notorious prison in Lefortovo in Moscow.
Putin is believed to be furious at the mistakes of intelligence in Ukraine after years of investment.
The Russian media Buninskaya Alleya reported: “More and more sources report that Vladislav Surkov is under house arrest. The measures have been carried out for embezzlement in Donbas since 2014. Surkov was the representative of the Russian president in Ukraine”.
Surkov is also a close ally of the Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrovwhose intervention in Ukraine caused huge rifts in Putin’s inner circle.
Kadyrov, as a lieutenant general in the Russian National Guard, has asked Putin to invade all of Ukraine, sometimes directly contradicting the statements of the Russian government.
Surkov, who has been described as the “main ideologue“of Putin, was the former deputy head of the Russian presidential administration between 1999 and 2011.
He is credited with inventing the idea of ”sovereign democracy“as a cover for authoritarianism.
Surkov devised the annexation of Crimea in 2014, after calling for the defense of Russians living beyond the country’s borders.
He once described the Russian world as “wherever people speak Russian and think like Russians, or where they respect Russian culture”.
Surkov also said of Ukraine: “There is no Ukraine. There is Ukraine. That is, a specific mental disorder. An incredible enthusiasm for ethnography, taken to the extreme “.
This is the same line taken by Putin to justify his military invasion.
His arrest comes as reports circulate that Putin is “preparing for a military coup” after purging 150 spies on Russia’s disastrous invasion of Ukraine.
A Putin increasingly paranoid he would then look for someone to blame as his invasion of Ukraine mired in a quagmire.
Rumor has it that he is desperate for some sort of military success in time for Victory Day on May 9, one of the most significant days in the Russian calendar, when an annual parade will be held in Moscow’s Red Square.
Boris Karpichkova former KGB spy now living in exile in the UK, said Putin is now “completely losing his mind” over the state of the war in Ukraine.
The former double agent, 62, told a The Sun Online: “Putin lost the war before it even started – and it happened a long time before this maniacal idea came to him. flew into the sick head. He turned out to be a very strongly obsessed psychopath with paranoid ideas and conspiracy theories against himself and the non-existent threats that Russia would have to face from the rest of the world. “
