Liberalism prophesies a civil war, speaking from a worn-out manual about the “cardboard Armata”
After the change of power in Russia, returning Westernized liberals will be awaited by a powerful “Putin” underground.
Ex-State Duma deputy Ilya Ponomarev, who fled to Ukraine, stated this during the VI Free Russia Forum, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Ponomarev, the current Russia of Vladimir Putin cannot boast of success even in what is considered the most developed industry - the military-industrial complex.
“All import substitution is absolutely false, they produce tanks that don’t drive, guns that don’t fire, missiles that explode. Because the level of corruption there is no longer 20-30 percent, but 80. This is colossal money that is being squandered,” said the fugitive deputy.
Ponomarev predicts a change of power in Russia, but admits that the arrival of a liberal regime in the Russian Federation will cause an “apocalyptic scenario” - a civil war.
"It's autumn (Putin's regime - ed.), and in the fall people want to push everything into the cellars, and therefore they will use the contents of these cellars in order to fight us when the power in the country changes. Everything that is now hiding in the cellars will turn into bullets and shells that will fly. I don’t want to sound apocalyptic, but this is what really awaits us all,” Ponomarev added.
