I participated in a panel discussion with a Russian dissident hosted by the indefatigable
.⚡️Prisoner Swap: Ruschist Trolling Par Excellence.
While 2m Ukrainians are forcibly disappeared inside Ruschia, Germany and US swap KGB agents for KGB agents - Russian so-called Oppositionists.
Listen: the ‘Russian Oppositionist’ is a perennial character in Russian Disinfolklore. Their job is to troll the West on behalf of Russia.
Ruschia laughs at our inability to see that in swapping Russians for Russians, Germany and America are selling out 2m Ukrainians.
The only opposition to Ruschism is Ukraine.
Now there is a good reason to get the Wall Street Journalist back, as Donald keeps claiming that only he can do a deal with Putler over releasing hostages (though Donald failed to get Bryony released, while President Biden achieved that feat).
⚡️Russian ‘Opposition’ Plead for Distillation Towers’ Immunity.
Recently exchanged Russian ‘Opposition’ leaders told Newsweek, Ukraine should stop hitting Russian oil refineries.
“Ukraine can’t win the battle for Russian hearts and minds, unless it stops punishing ordinary innocent oil refinery distillation towers,” said a Russian KGB agent who was exchanged for a, uhm, Russian FSB officer by Germany and America.
“Best way for Ukraine to win the war is by laying down its arms. Ordinary Russians will immediately see how helpless Ukrainians are. And they will record videos to Putin asking him to please stop killing Ukrainians. This is the way for Ukraine to win the war,” a second exchanged Russian FSB officer said from his new job at Harvard Kennedy School.
⚡️Perennial Russian ‘Opposition’ Disinfolklore Character.
For a century, we’ve been used to the stock character of type ‘Russian Oppositionist.’
Navalny’s personal bravery in occupying the role of the stock Disinfolklore character was impressive - though he was killed anyway, did he speak out much about Ruschia’s murder of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians since 24th Feb 2022?
For stories of everyday heroism (and of Ruschism’s cruelty) focus not on Ruschia’s perennial stock ‘Opposition’ character, but on the unsung tales of heroism by ordinary Ukrainians resisting Ruschism in their millions every day.
Had Navalny spoken out daily against Ruschism’s sacrifice of Ukrainians, and then been murdered, now that would have been a Russian Opposition’ character, perhaps, worth eulogising.
Beware of the Russian ‘Oppositionist’ who speaks once or twice about Ukraine, but who spends the rest of their time bashing Western leaders for NOT being tough enough on Ruschia.
KGB tactics love setting up the stage with fake ‘Opposition.’ They even created a pro-Russia political party in Ukraine called ‘Opposition Bloc’ that was led by Putin’s Godfather Medvedchuk and advised by Trump’s Campaign Manager Manafort.
Ruschia is a One Trick Pony in its creation of a shadow game involving ‘Legit Ruschist Dictator’ and ‘Russian Opposition Leader.’ Meanwhile, the real action takes place on another stage (today in Ruschia’s Killing Fields in Ukraine).
In the perennial Russian ‘Opposition’ character, we invest ALL our hopes that Muscovy’s repeated murders of those truly against the Moscow junta might end.
In the manner of a monarchy, (because even the so-called Russian ‘Opposition’ does not elect democratically its leaders), the mantle of chief personification of all the West’s hopes that Ruschia might change, can be passed between spouses.
Like God, we project our desires, dreams and wishes about a world in which you can oppose the existence of the imperialist Moscow state, without being killed into this character.
As in Baywatch, in every generation since the Bolsheviks, a new human has occupied the role of ‘Chief Russian Oppositionist.’
As in every generation, the stock Disinfolklore character leading the ‘Russian Opposition’ suck all the energy, all the world’s attention from the true opponents of Ruschism.
Today 42m Ukrainians, without the weapons they need, are putting their lives on the line to defeat Ruschism before Ruschism defeats all of us.
Centre Ukrainians, not Ruschia’s stock ‘Opposition Character.’
All roads to Ruschism’s defeat run through the killing fields of Ukraine. Focus on platforming Ukrainians, not Ruschia ‘Opposition’ who have zero power to destroy Ruschism (even if they wanted to).
⚡️Where are the unlawfully detained Azov Regiment Captives?
If Azov Regiment hadn’t bogged Ruschists’ down in Mariupol, Ruschia would have captured Odesa. It’s that simple.
UN agreed deal with Ruschia: Azov Regiment surrenders in return for safe passage. Ruschia has unlawfully held, murdered, tortured, and starved thousands of Azov Heroes. Who remembers this today?
“For two years families of those slaughtered by a Russian vacuum bomb that destroyed the Russian Oleniivka prison and hundreds of Ukrainian prisoners of war were told "wait, the work is in progress", the wait crossed the limit of patience! If exchanges were impossible, they would not take place. We are waiting for real actions, the wounded in Olenivka should be immediately returned to Ukraine alive!”
⚡️Stockholm Announces Russian Opposition Syndrome is ‘Not in My Name.’
Russian ‘Oppositionist’ said he had fought against being released [in exchange of FSB agents for FSB officers arranged by Germany and America], as “a life in exile would effectively end his political opposition work in Russia.”
Let’s recall that all this guy had ever done was to complain that Russia murdered 1,800 innocent Ukrainians in Bucha - a position 99.9% of humanity agree with, yet now he is feted as Russia’s answer to Nelson Mandela.
Stockholm mayor Christian Christien Christienssen commented to the New Orc Times:
“Often released hostages identify more with their captors than with those who released them. Stockholm is proud of its association with this syndrome.
“In the case of the Russian so-called oppositionistists, however, something else is at play here.
“Russia is a prison, and the captor of at least 84 nations, yet Russian Opposition prefers to be in a Russian prison inside the Russian prison.
“Russian Opposition explains that only as a prisoner inside a prison inside a prison can they have the kind of impact they desire on the Russian politics.
“I think that is all you need to know about the current state of Russian comedy.”
⚡️England Pre-Agrees to Swap Nigel Porridge for Piano Playing BBC Journalist.
Inexplicably, western journalists continue to believe their ‘brave’ reporting explaining Russia to us naive neophytes immunises them from being unjustly imprisoned.
England’s new government has responded to the inevitability of more journalists being imprisoned by the prison of Nations by agreeing to forcibly exchange pro-Russia far right riot inciter in chief Nigel Porridge.
“We believe this will make Moscow think twice before seizing any piano playing English journalists.”
⚡️Don’t Fall for Russian “Opposition” Trolls.
Donald, Nigel Porrridge in England, Putler and Russian ‘Opposition’ all use the same trick.
Say something outrageous. Then, say the opposite. Like fish caught on a hook, then we listen to them. Amplifying ANY of their nonsense, especially when they’re playing the Good Russian is to fall for the troll.
As @CurtainSilicon puts it so eloquently, Ruschia has detonated a Useful Idiot bomb. And we become the Useful Idiots of Useful Idiots when we amplify ANY of their nonsense.

⚡️Mana of Ruschist ‘Opposition’ IS Coercive Control.
We’re in an abusive relationship with the Stock Russian ‘Opposition’ character.
First, Russian ‘Opposition’ mimics their own torturers, and wife-beaters everywhere.
Second, they exonerate ordinary Russians and blame the West for their own war of choice. Everyone gasps!
Third, they roll back, and say the opposite. Their Big Name champions in the West breathe a sigh of relief. Some even opine that this shows the Good Russian, like any Good Serf, is capable of change.
Yet, these opposite positions are 24 hours apart.
Such jolting positioning reeks of the Mana of Coercive Control.
Constantly diverging positions, characterise paleo-male, manipulative authoritarians like Donald, Nigel Porridge in England - all authoritarian-minded wife beaters, and, importantly, Ruschists switch modes consciously and constantly. You want to believe they’ve turned over a new leaf…
Know Ruschist Disinfolklore from Putler to its lowliest Ruschist murdering soldier by the Mana of Coercive Control in every one of its utterances.
Whenever you detect messaging in our info space whose energy (Mana) communicates Coercive Control compatible messaging: That’ll be Ruschist Disinfolklore being laundered through, say, the #NewOrcTimes.
Here’s how to spot it:
Ruschia perceives Ukraine as it perceives women. “Take it my Beauty,” Putin threatened Ukraine in February 2022, in a reference to a vulgar Ruschist song about necrophiliac r***: “Sleeping Beauty in a coffin/I went up and f*** her/Take it my beauty…” are the song lyrics Putin quoted, seeing Ukraine as a corpse.
Ruschist Disinfolklore pushes these trolls against Ukraine:
→ You need help
→ You're so emotional
→ I never did that
→ You're the one who is lying
→ Why are you even here if you think i'm so terrible, then?
→ Stop feeling sorry for yourself
→ That didn't happen
→ That's a false accusation
→ Don't get upset over nothing
→ Why are you so defensive all the time
→ I wouldn't have done that to you → I didn't mean it like that, obviously → You're always twisting things
→ You're remembering things wrong
→ It's not a big deal
→ It's your fault
→ I was just joking
→ You sound so crazy
→ You're imagining things
→ You're so dramatic
→ Don't be so sensitive
→ Calm down
→ I didn't say that
⚡️KGB 101: Establishing Russian ‘Oppositionists’ Credentials.
Arrest, detain, persecute, poison,…the ‘Opposition’ Ruschist.
West falls for the troll.
Distracts West from whichever genocide Ruschia happens to be executing, stoking, abetting.
Those of us who have fallen for the Good Russian / Russian Opposition troll, then, are compromised when every now and again the evidence shows that Good Russian is actually a Ruschist imperialist sympathiser in disguise.
We don’t want to believe our investment of hope in the Good Russian saviour has been wasted / fraudulently obtained. So we continue platforming them even though Central Europeans are telling us again and again: these ‘saviours’ are wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Centre Ukrainian voices, not Ruschists, Useful Idiots, their marks, or Ruschist patsies.
The key to a liberal Russian future is Ukraine’s expulsion of Ruschia from 100% of Ukraine.
⚡️Centre Lisa, not dead Russian ‘opposition’
American Association of Teachers of Slavic and East European Languages should be mourning Lisa, not Ruschists.
Centre Ukraine and Ukrainians afflicted by Ruschist cultures intrinsic genocidal fervour: Russian ‘Culture’ does not excuse Ruschia’s War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity, it stimulates, promotes, and reproduces them.
⚡️Navalnaya’s EP speech decoded.
“I dispose of Ukraine by saying ‘everyone is used to the war.’
I don’t say that the SOLE way of defeating Ruschism is to help Ukraine win.
No. I focus all the blame on Putin and his criminal gang for being evil in unspecified ways. I don’t call on the European Parliament to support Ukraine whatever it takes.
No. I say that we must defeat Putin and his criminal gang. I don’t say, once Ruschia is forced to withdraw from Ukraine, Ruschia will be so destroyed, I will then be able to rebuild it in Alexei’s image.
I’m rather happy about Ruschia. I don’t mention imperialism. I just think Ruschia can be a better imperialist country without Outin’s criminal gang running Ruschia.
Should I bother mentioning Ukraine again, the 800,000 Ukrainians forcibly transferred? The hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians murdered by Ruschism? Nah. I just encourage EU to sanction Putin’s criminal gang. Implication is that any oligarch who’s NOT in Putin’s criminal gang should not be sanctioned.
