Igor Strelkov's answers to questions from readers of the reenactors forum
- ... The fact of hatred towards Russia for half of the population of Ukraine (according to sound estimates, about half, and the youngest) cannot be ignored. And it would be a mistake to think that it would be easy to “cure” by counter-propaganda and a positive example, if with the help of a “blitzkrieg” you take control of large areas where people are heavily zombie (not like in the Donbas). Although it was full of these zombies in the Donbass in the spring and early summer, most probably just left.
In these new occupied territories there will be fierce resistance from the population itself, and bullets in the back will fly from every corner. And a positive image of Russia cannot be created, since it will be necessary to act cruelly, and any of our counter-propaganda will come across a blank wall.
This is about the question that reality cannot be ignored - and she, I am afraid, is just as I describe ...
- Igor Strelkov: When Ivan the Terrible took Kazan, he was not thinking about how to conquer more Tatars and how they would resist and revolt, but about stopping the eternal raids on the border Russian territories. It was not possible to solve this problem by setting vassals on the Khan's throne - they were overthrown over and over again. I had to gather an army and go to war. Then there were uprisings, etc. trouble However, the main task was successfully solved.
If you are afraid of resistance, it is better to surrender immediately. Russia MUST solve the task of reunifying Ukraine, especially since Ukraine openly and aggressively moved into the camp of its enemies. Without the defeat of this hostile state, Russia will never regain real sovereignty and the processes of disintegration will continue inside. The war is already underway and will not end until one of the parties wins a decisive victory. With such approaches as you, this victory is automatically given to the nationalized Ukraine.
- During all wars, everyone forges each other’s paper money. Napoleon faked rubles. Hitler - too.
This is a good old tradition.
It is not clear to me why she is undeservedly forgotten. Maybe LDNR leaders believe that killing people is in the order of things, and it is immoral to fake the enemy’s money?
I.S. - To this the authorities of the republic could not go for reasons of complete dependence on the “military”. A "voentorg" does not operate in a vacuum, and not from Mars. No one would allow and will not allow creating such a dangerous precedent capable of disturbing dear friends of Chubais, Gref, etc. in the US and UK banks.
- It is time to build statehood. The Makhnovshchina is inevitable at the beginning of the struggle, but now as never before, unity of command is necessary both in the army and in civilian structures. Thank God, people just leave, but they are not removed.
I.S. - Your lips would be like that - medku ... They leave, yeah ... Some people have not to leave, but to run at full speed. Moreover, it is often those who "pulled out" the most difficult first months in battle and gained nothing on it (I do not speak about myself). But in their place come the men concrete, not previously distinguished, but for those who know well "which side is the butter on the sandwich".
- Igor Ivanovich, as the press said, you put Zakharchenko in your place. Was Brainstorm's Best Candidate?
I.S. - Do not confuse. Zakharchenko put Surkov - after meeting with him in Rostov Zakharchenko returned as "prime minister" (instead of Beard, who immediately resigned). And if Boroday did not interfere in military affairs, then Zakharchenko immediately began to pull upon himself the functions of “commander-in-chief” according to the Constitution of the DPR. And I formally wasn’t even one. I could only hand over the position of the (largely formal) Minister of Defense by order. I gave it to Kononov (who, by the way, was also chosen by Zakharchenko, although I supported this nomination).
Brain going to remove - in the near future. Today only talked about it.
Bezler, perhaps after some time, really returned. She and Zakharchenko fully understand each other. Although not a fact.
- Boroday like the same man Surkov? Or I'm wrong?
I.S. - Initially - no. But very quickly he became one. And it remains to this day.
About statements about the uselessness of the DNI and the LC in the interview Sergei Dorenko
I.S. - I in no way call "to overthrow the constitutional order of the DNI-LC." On the contrary, I regularly urge and persuade the overly hot commanders to humble themselves and obey. Because there is no way out - in the conditions of an external war, internal political clashes are unacceptable
- In your opinion, is today's Russia capable of real (military and economic) confrontation with the Western coalition, and is such a development of events as a war with NATO possible?
How do you feel about such an opinion that there is no opposition between the US and the Russian Federation, but in fact we are dealing with a confrontation of two “towers” of the Russian authorities, one of which deliberately dumps the country in a serious economic crisis against the background of sanctions and local war, which should our country create a fertile environment for unrest and interception of power? I understand clearly? that the United States performs a certain "order" from Russia.
I.S. - First to the 2 question: There are no "towers". There is Putin with a small group of inextricably linked officials and "everything else" (inextricably linked with his savings in foreign banks).
On the question 1: NATO is not going to fight with us. The international oligarchy is going to overthrow Putin and put a more appealing "Menager" in his place, simultaneously robbing him once again, completely disarming and greatly reducing the size of Russia, which was not completely finished with the collapse of the USSR. All this is planned to be done at the expense of "internal resources" - without risking war - according to the pattern beaten in Yugoslavia, Libya and Ukraine.
- It is puzzling why Putin is not taking any real steps to remedy the situation. There is a complete impression that there is some kind of "delaying time", although at the same time, the time is clearly not in favor of Putin. What is it, lack of resources or disbelief that the people will support him?
I.S. - Rather, a complete misunderstanding that the people generally play any role, except for the "statistical". And the fear of going beyond the protected area to the "wild" (that is, pre-selected and not filtered FSO) people. And the environment, which together, loudly and harmoniously performs the imperishable hit "Everything is fine, beautiful marquise!"
- Igor Ivanovich, if I may ... In my opinion, the more they put pressure on us from the outside, the higher the Putin rating. Maybe these are all the pessimistic predictions that someone seriously thinks to deprive the president of people's love?
I.S. - A couple of months of such inflation as it is now (with a freeze in wages) and “people's love” will wither away. In addition, in Moscow, and so (despite the high standard of living) does not "break records" - people who went to the Swamp, have not gone away. And most importantly, does something really depend on the people in the current realities? The people long ago and reliably removed from the influence on power. And the power itself in the hands of high-ranking officials, who closely merged with the oligarchy, is a kind of surrogate for the “Central Committee of the CPSU”. If you remember, in 1991, the overwhelming number of Soviet citizens voted to preserve it. This stopped the conspirators from the Central Committee of the CPSU? Not at all! But the masses remained extras and only a part of them participated in the "show" called "the national resistance of the Emergency Committee." Purely for the picture and for the creation of the legend of the "nation-wide revolution" (so that the same people could later be duped by this legend).
- Do you really believe in the good king-father, who fights for his people, but is surrounded by deceitful boyars-bloodsuckers? ..
You are a clever, life-beaten man. Why such naivety? ..
I.S. - This is not naive. This experience in the offices of the central office of the FSB. And familiarity with the technology of making reports that fall on the table of the highest officials of the state. The “top” often does not leak information about the real situation. Most often - only "combed" and "pomadaennoe" "product." Because a question may arise to the speaker: “what are you doing?”, Which is not easy to answer!
- Recent events in Ukraine have shown that the people cannot organize themselves locally, they are also happening in the republics, but what about the scale of Russia is chaos? Power will not be given up just like that, it is taken on bayonets, Putin doesn’t want to loosen the “construction” with all external challenges - a very dubious success
I.S. - Remember the tale of Saltykov-Shchedrin (I love to re-read it - still relevant!) "Bear in Voivodeship"? There, Major Bruin 3, having seen enough of the failures of his predecessors, came to the conclusion that it is better not to do anything — not a few evil deeds (Bruin 1, I eat chichika, ridicule and shame, followed by reference), nor great things (Brunt 2 in the end it was planted on a stake, but to accept the practice of "natural villainy". That is, I lay in a den, I ate the tribute that was brought directly to it and did not do anything — I did not interfere anywhere. He first became a lieutenant colonel, then a colonel, and finally ... but then the men came to the forest and went to that time Toptygin from the den. And they made him either a fur coat, or a scarecrow.
We got out of the den with the Crimea. Lying on all sides and having forgotten how to fight (and even growling is rather menacing - no one is afraid). And now we need to do something - otherwise the skin will surely be torn off.
- Decipher a hint for dull pzhlst
We have hints since the time of the Munich speech - a whole collection. And from the cases unless Crimea can be called. I have already said and will repeat as many times as desired - with the current "team" intended for "infusion into the world community" and already there personally "infused" (as top Soviet officials - into communism), it is mortally dangerous to oppose this "community" completely unpromising - they will first all drown in sabotage, and then they will betray them directly.
