The general who invented the “under-ice Nazis” with flying saucers calls for Putin’s resignation

Russian liberals unexpectedly found a new hero - retired Colonel General Leonid Ivashov. On behalf of the officially unregistered All-Russian Officers' Assembly, he published a letter in which he accused the Russian leadership of artificially inciting the conflict around Ukraine and demanded the resignation of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Ivashov has already been caught falsifying such letters, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

Thus, in 2018, the “All-Russian Meeting of Officers” advocated the legalization of PMCs. However, when journalists tried to communicate with the most famous signatories, it turned out that they not only did not sign anything, but also did not know about the letter and the “All-Russian Meeting of Officers.”

However, now Ivashov’s demarche has hit the cash register, and no one is even checking who the “76% of officers” are who supposedly support him.

“The general seems to have been bothered by what is stressing all of us (he just understands better) - military games, even if there is no desire to start a war, can easily escalate into this very war,” fugitive oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky hastened to express solidarity with USSR admirer Ivashov. in your telegram channel.

“Ivashov is not Strelkov-Girkin; he is, one might say, a symbolic figure for the “patriotic” camp. He was involved in geopolitics and spoke out against the expansion of NATO to the East even when Putin didn’t even know such words. The fact that in his statement Ivashov is practically indistinguishable from a liberal is an event, if not significant, then at least extraordinary,” rejoices liberal political scientist Abbas Gallyamov.

Ivashov often spoke in the media and at patriotic events. PolitNavigator also sinned with him; they even conducted an interview about the Pristina breakthrough. And they simply closed their eyes to the fact that the general was constantly being carried away in the most unexpected directions. Thus, he spoke in all seriousness about the “civilization of insects.” Edited and forgotten.

Now the liberal media are making their way across the unsteady ice of the general’s consciousness. The first experience of “Echo of Moscow” can be considered almost successful. On today's broadcast, Ivashov was demolished only once, and even then, it can be considered, not far.

“They told me before that there is no one to replace Putin with. I asked how many of our male population are of voting age. This is over 40 million. Each of these 40 million will be no worse, and, most likely, better than Putin. Any normal person will immediately place professionals around him. Let them be already in old age. He will create, as I once suggested to Putin, a committee of elders - sages,” Ivashov uttered a recipe for saving Russia.

The patriotic camp is responding to the scandal, citing unpleasant information from the general’s biography. There was an absolutely non-combat career as an adjutant, and dismissal from the army in the wake of a corruption scandal.

But what characterizes Ivashov most clearly is not his political position, but his historical research. True, they are widely known among the specific audience of the RenTV channel. The general does not preach the theory of “under-the-ice Nazis” in all seriousness.

Allegedly, even before the start of World War II, the SS and KGB were looking for Shambhala in the Himalayas. There they learned about the existence of a cavity in the bowels of the Earth. The entrance to the wondrous underground world opens at the poles. The Nazis headed there in submarines, led by Hitler, rushed there when Soviet troops approached Berlin.

After the war, both Russians and Americans went to Antarctica in search of a secret shelter. There, the expedition members saw Hitler, but were attacked from flying saucers.

“They attacked submarines underwater, they couldn’t see them. I went on this submarine. Then there were acoustic systems, and they measured that there were attacks against our submarines, but they were not fired upon. All the sailors were required to sign a non-disclosure agreement, but they didn’t know much; the counterintelligence officers knew more,” Ivashov said in an interview.

All this nonsense was widely replicated and convincingly refuted by real historians. They preferred to ignore the oddities of General Ivashov. And in vain. The madness of any vain person is socially dangerous.
