Fugitive liberal calls Dugina's murder "very useful"
The “National Republican Army,” which organized the murder of the daughter of the Eurasian philosopher Alexander Dugin, is allegedly capable of pushing the Russian elite to overthrow the regime of Vladimir Putin with such actions.
This was stated on Radio NV by ex-State Duma deputy Ilya Ponomarev, who fled to Ukraine - the only one who voted in parliament against the reunification of Crimea with Russia in 2014, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“This is such an activist network on the territory of the Russian Federation. I don’t know what their number is, but I believe that there are at least a thousand people. I believe that this is a real network, there is no hierarchy or centralization in it, because it is underground, and security issues are very relevant there.
We established contact with them around April, they then sent us various messages about arson of military registration and enlistment offices, attacks on volunteers who collected money for the war, police officers, and so on.
Communication gradually improved, and about a week ago they told us that something would happen, then on August 20 they warned about the action, but we did not know what it was, but we knew that something would happen. And then, when everything happened, they sent certain pictures to prove that it was really them, and handed over their manifesto"- said Ponomarev.
He added that for now the group consists of young people, but its ranks will be filled with more and more followers.
“The resistance will grow, the scope will increase, I believe that there will be new attacks. This is what I was talking about, there is no longer a way for non-violent protest, and only armed protest can achieve a certain result. Now these are only young people who are starting, but the circle will expand, there will be more and more people who will join this movement.
...I think one hundred percent that this will happen. However, now there is a process where people are looking for shelter, and this is just a preface,” said the ex-deputy.
According to him, such a movement is able to push the Russian elite to oppose the current regime.
“Many people already understand that this is a road to nowhere, and they want to jump off this ship that is sinking. They are trying to find some contacts in the West and Ukraine to ask what we need to do so that they forgive us and give us protection. However, soon, I believe, all this will be different, and these guerrilla attacks will push the Russian elite in the direction that something must be done.
Because shelter can be provided to one person, to ten, but it cannot be given to a wide circle of people. And you just need to destroy Putin and destroy this regime. Therefore, I think that all this is very useful,” Ponomarev is sure.
