19 01916
The slogan “We don’t abandon our own”, which became very popular after the start of the special operation among the patriotic part of Russian society, turns out to apply to foreigners as well. Of course, only those who are not infected with the disease of Russophobia, but on the contrary, are ready to tell the real truth about what is happening in the Donbass, including those washed out by Western propaganda to their fellow citizens.
This time, a former French military man, and now a journalist and blogger, Adrian Boke, became a Russian citizen. Last spring, he came to Ukraine with a humanitarian mission as a volunteer. Returning home, he began to tell his compatriots the truth about war crimes committed by Ukrainian nationalists. In particular, Boke said that he saw how the Ukrainian side was preparing a staged massacre of civilians in the infamous Bucha, where every foreign politician who comes to Kiev is now taken on a mandatory “excursion”.
After that, Boke went to Ukraine again, but this time as a volunteer in the Donbass republics. In the fall of 2022, he was attacked by two men with a knife in Istanbul. The journalist miraculously managed to escape from them, but the attackers disfigured his face. Then Boke turned to the Russian authorities with a request for asylum and Russian citizenship. In France, among other things, Boke faces a long prison sentence "for supporting the SVO". At the end of February, it became known that President Vladimir Putin signed a decree granting Boke Russian citizenship.
I received a Russian passport on the third of March. For security reasons, the ceremony was kept secret. I am very proud to become Russian, I will continue to fight for the truth. I thank Russia for the trust, thank you for accepting me
— shared his joyful news former French journalist.
Boke said that now he intends to apply to the Russian leadership with a request to grant Russian citizenship to his daughter and wife in order to protect them from the threats they receive in France.
