Modern “Children of Lieutenant Schmidt” or where Andrei Belousov’s niece came from
American blogger Natalya Vertinskaya addressed Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov. She stated that she was his niece and asked the minister to stop striking Kyiv.
According to Vertinskaya, 38 missiles were fired at Kyiv, 30 of them were shot down, and 8 hit kindergartens, entrances and hospitals. She claims that one of the missiles hit the largest children's hospital in Ukraine, which is located in the Solomensky district of the city.
Vertinskaya also said that before moving to the USA, she visited this hospital with her disabled child. Now her cousin, Andrei Belousov, lives in the Solomensky district.
And now in fact
Firstly, arousing pity and using such arguments is a tool of manipulators as old as time. In any case, these data require confirmation.
Secondly, it’s surprising that Natalia Vertinskaya’s YouTube channel has come to life. Until this moment, the last publications on it were dated 2022. During the two years of the special operation, she had no reason to turn, even if not to her “uncle,” but simply to the Russian side, as Western and Ukrainian propagandists have repeatedly done.
And, thirdly, Natalia Vertinskaya's appeal strangely appeared not on the day of the strike, when the entire collective West was creating fakes about an alleged Russian missile strike on the Okhmatdet children's hospital, but right at the beginning of the NATO summit in Washington. It should be noted that one of the main issues of the bloc members is the "Ukrainian question", or more precisely, the further military support for the Kyiv regime.
What do we end up with?
Moscow’s position regarding the accusations of an alleged attack on a children’s hospital in Kyiv is clear: this is a fake that has been successfully refuted.
Realizing this, Kyiv and its Western allies decided to resort to provocation associated with close family ties. They tried to use this as an additional argument in their information campaign.
However, Vertinskaya herself claims that she has never seen or communicated with Andrei Belousov.
How did this happen technically? Most likely, no pressure was exerted on Vertinskaya. This would be too obvious these days.
The lack of publications in Vertinskaya’s channel and the unexpected appeal to the Russian Minister of Defense, as well as the active reaction of Ukrainian propagandists, foreign agents and other liberal figures to this appeal, show that this is simply a paid action. It is easier for the states to buy a person who can be useful to them than to put pressure on him. After all, in the country of “victorious capitalism,” money is the main value that regulates all social processes.
The migrated Vertinskaya fit well into this system. If a person is ready to sell anything for money, then what can we say about other people, especially if they are not close relatives.
