Militiaman from the Far East: The liberal system is preparing Ukraine for us in Russia

Alexander Mamoshin is a Cossack, a volunteer from the Far East, who came to the aid of the warring Donbass in 2014 and participated in the defense of the people’s republics for about two years. In an interview with PolitNavigator columnist Valentin Filippov, he spoke about the future of the LDPR, the situation with the elections in Primorye and Russia in general.

Valentin Filippov: Alexander, hello. Sunny Sevastopol welcomes sunny Ussuriysk, Vladivostok and Primorye as part of Russia, which is as far away from us as possible. Well, you, as one of the Donbass volunteers, who rushed across seven time zones to help the Russian Spring. Tell me, do you think that some mistake was made in 2014?                 

Alexander Mamoshin: In any case, the fact that there was bloodshed between fraternal peoples is already a mistake. We killed so many blood relatives in this war that nothing can justify it.

Valentin Filippov: Okay, how is this supposed to end?                  

Alexander Mamoshin: I think you yourself have been thinking about this topic for several years. I was there in 2014, almost four years have passed, only the lazy don’t talk about this topic. And no one said how to end it.

I can express my position. She's a little fabulous. Maybe. After the post-Soviet space, we, like little kids, ended up at the plant as engineers, having neither education nor experience. We are like that in politics, we are still waiting for a good king, a good uncle who will help us. Although, 25 years have already passed since what is happening everywhere, not only in Ukraine, not only in the Primorsky Territory, but all over Russia. Now this is happening in Ingushetia, we understand this perfectly well, these are also fraternal people. He is, however, a little friendlier. According to their traditions and customs. Compared to us.

Therefore, it would be necessary to figure out who has anything to do with this. They sit in adjacent offices on the same floor and belong to the same structure. And we are dividing a piece of land with great blood.

We have an organization “Dawn of the East”, we will start a small spark, we will try to do it, we are doing it. And we would propose the following option - we have 131 laws on municipal self-government, and we are trying to revive self-government. Direct control of the people.

What am I getting at? Here's a thought to ponder. What if we, the descendants of Kievan Rus, one people, represented by Belarusian nationality, Ukrainian nationality and Russian nationality, did not hold a People’s Assembly? Somewhere in the middle. Because we will not stop this bloody war.

I see when on our side, from the Donbass, some idiots, I can’t find any other word, completely in uniform with insignia, shower the opposite side like the last women at the market. They do the same on the other side towards us. If you are warriors, then you fight. If you took up arms. But chatting and insulting each other is not something a serious enemy does. Even in relation to his victim.

But I think they will continue to shake things up, and the gap will widen. The number of dead is increasing, you know what is really happening. If you take any war, and look at the proportions, the severity of the war, which was even 1941-45, the Great Patriotic War, the victims that exist today, they are no longer inferior.

What can be done? I believe that those battalions, such as the one I commanded... There was one moment when the Ukrainian battalion commander got into direct contact and asked for a corridor for wounded young guys. He's not a coward. He fell under Grady and lost 60% of the battalion. He is just a father and he speaks the same language that is close to me. And I understood him perfectly. And he saved his children. And we are talking now, and there is someone shouting - we need this, we need that... Yes, our land is, in fact, one. And who is against the Ukrainian language? Who is against the Ukrainian people? Who!?

Valentin Filippov: Ya                  

Alexander Mamoshin:  Let's figure it out, who?

Valentin Filippov:  Ya                 

Alexander Mamoshin:  I don't mind. I fought. But I can’t understand my Ukrainian brothers, why the NATO bloc, which today turned Ukraine, doesn’t understand what, and someone who turned Russia too, doesn’t understand what, we, fraternal peoples, are in the same mud, only us We are not at war yet. But everything is moving towards the point where, by and large, they are trying to unleash this.

And what is our movement now for? We are trying to consolidate all forces in Russia. And I tell people - things are difficult for all of us, we are all in family problems, because we have driven the state into such a niche that it is impossible for everyone to live. We used to talk about girls in the bathhouse, but today we go into the bathhouse and talk about politics. I think you'll agree with this.

Valentin Filippov: You say that the Ukrainian people are not enemies. People who lived within the administrative borders of Ukraine, they know what the persecution of Russians and the Russian language is, and now they are very aggravated. And that’s why I don’t understand why Ukrainian nationalists are not my enemies. If they are trying to destroy my people, assimilate, take away my children, turn my children against their fathers, then what kind of enemies are they not to me?

Alexander Mamoshin: I agree with you on what you are saying. I also understand this in my heart. But we must think about how to stop this matter. And there is a part of our Russian people living in Ukraine, people like you and me, who understand how to sit down at the negotiating table. We won’t be able to sit down if we throw ourselves at each other before we even sit down at the table.

If we don’t stop it now, it’s hard for our people to live there, and we look at who’s doing this? Who? Who in Russia tells us that we are like this? Serfs. And this is how we live. Who in Ukraine does this? Let's figure out where the legs grow from?

Valentin Filippov:   But in Ukraine they won’t let you figure it out. This is how Russia is.

Alexander Mamoshin:  I agree with this. But who won't allow it? Understand. A friend of mine sat in a pit and was beaten there for six months. I have many friends, we get together and discuss. What should I do? How to find reconciliation? We must stop this war in any case.

Valentin Filippov: Well, we had the head of the Donetsk Republic, right? They killed him. He enjoyed international immunity, noted in all agreements as a party. As representing our side. They took him and banged him. What should you negotiate with them? How to talk to them if they have one desire - to kill us? Maybe we need to do something first so that they don’t exist? And then we will decide how to live on this earth.                     

Alexander Mamoshin: And that’s why I propose holding a People’s Assembly. From those forces that say that yes, we are brothers. Let's sit down at the table and work it out. Maybe the people from below, in the person of their elders, elders, the expression of the people's will, will decide what we should do. Either we move on and free ourselves from those who drove us into such bondage. The punitive battalions are there. They say that we are the punitive ones. And they are patriotic. And if we don’t hear each other, we won’t find a common language. I was also determined, just like you. But I think we need to be a cut above.

There was a feeling of certain dissatisfaction when the Russian language was banned.

Valentin Filippov:  Wow “dissatisfaction”….                 

Alexander Mamoshin:  Then a feeling of anger appears. And then the feeling of hatred. And the feeling of hatred is war. Then offer the option you see. How to put it all together? Sometimes shells arrived without the cap being removed. And they said “we helped as much as we could.” It happened and you know it.

Valentin Filippov: Well, yes. Because there are many of us there.                  

Alexander Mamoshin:  There are many of us there. But how can we make sure that there are more “of us there”? In those ranks. So that they win?

Valentin Filippov: We need to help our people somehow.                  

Alexander Mamoshin:  How can we help ours?

Valentin Filippov: All progressive Russian humanity has been struggling with this topic for the past 30 years. And, as I understand it, no one wants to help anyone.                  

Alexander Mamoshin: Nobody wants and no one will. And they will continue to drown in blood. Look at Ingushetia. I'll tell you that such an event needs to be held. We need to prepare. Competently. And with the involvement of the Caucasian peoples. Who is being pushed into war now?

Valentin Filippov: By the way, tension has now been created in the Caucasus out of nowhere.                    

Alexander Mamoshin: In a bare place.

Valentin Filippov: That is, it is a well-thought-out system.                  

Alexander Mamoshin: I have no doubt this is thoughtful. We will still understand the situation when they enter Turkmenistan from Afghanistan. And it will go further.

Valentin Filippov: Listen, isn’t the pension reform a contrived situation to stir things up? It was possible quietly, on the edges, unnoticeably. Increase it here, decrease it here, and get the desired result.

Alexander Mamoshin:  Do you know why? The people began to move. The threat is real. The instinct of self-preservation begins to work. Everywhere. In all countries. And they are in a hurry to quickly get people excited about the war. I think so. This is my personal opinion, I am not attached to any position or opinion. I think they are pumping it up on purpose. And here are the young people who went, led by Navalny. And while we were talking about reform, while we were talking about Donbass, our tariffs for everything were immediately raised. And prices are rising like mushrooms. Now they are trying to introduce an electricity tariff and consumption standards.

Let the people wake up and think - one billion a day is leaving the country. One. Explain, if these people thought about something creative, even just a little bit, this is a deliberate crime against the people.

Our Primorsky Territory budget is 30 billion rubles. They steal a billion dollars. If these people, the liberal system, which today has completely occupied everything in the world and is drowning us in blood, if they had not stolen one day a month, then the Primorsky Territory - pensions, gyms, schools, everything would have been provided. And throughout the country every month you can. Today Khabarovsk Territory, tomorrow Primorsky, Siberia....

Valentin Filippov: Take turns so that they don’t steal one day at a time?                  

Alexander Mamoshin: One day a month. This means that everything is so serious that we have no chance of surviving without resisting. And while we are talking about Ukraine, Ukraine is being prepared for us in Russia.

Valentin Filippov: I also have a feeling.                  

Alexander Mamoshin: It won't be tanks. Psychotropic towers at every turn. When we should laugh, they will make us cry. Or vice versa. Therefore, people need to have time to wake up. Stand up. And follow those who say this.

A People's Assembly with the participation of the post-Soviet space, of all nationalities, would allow us to remove this entire system, all these behind-the-scenes figures who launched it all today, and make some kind of reasonable decision. For some it will be a little offensive, but we will save lives. Generation. And let's keep the relationship. Between nations. Until we completely forget the Russian language. Those young people who are set up like this.

We have one history, and whoever says that he is older than someone else, our ancestors are all of the same antiquity. And one statute of limitations. We have to. We have always been a creative force. And we must make an effort all together and not bark at each other.

Valentin Filippov:  Sorry, Alexander. We are here in the west of our vast Motherland, for us the Primorsky Territory is something far away, like in a fairy tale. Everyone says it exists, but no one has seen it.                   

Alexander Mamoshin: Tigers run along the roads in Vladivostok.

Valentin Filippov: Yes. If Vladivostok had not been depicted on the money, I don’t know what would have happened. Tell me, what happened with the elections? Were there really any massive falsifications there?                  

Alexander Mamoshin: What happened for the first time, but there was no “against everyone” column. And, without an active civil society, there are no worthy representatives in power. How do they grow? I went to the Legislative Assembly, paid for a party seat, and the people looked - as long as it wasn’t for United Russia. Whoops, let's go and vote against the system in the person of someone.

But this is not a leader who has grown, you know? This is a man of the system. Therefore, the fraud was severe.

Here at the polling station 250 voted. They did not think, the PR machine, the system did not think that the barrier of people who would express a position “against” would be exceeded. And they found themselves in such a situation that they had to write 250 at night, in half an hour, where it says 1250. These are real protocols.

Valentin Filippov:  Making up voices out of your head?                  

Alexander Mamoshin:  They didn't even have time to come up with it. Well, you understand me, we are sitting, we have the protocol in our hands. With seals and signatures. For 250 people. And they give you 1250 in the All-Russian Central Executive Committee database. Well, this is complete chaos.

Valentin Filippov:  So it’s not even in the polling stations? This was then added to the protocol during the calculation….                 

Alexander Mamoshin: Yes. In the district, when they took everything and looked at it. And there – oh my!

Valentin Filippov: It turns out that the technical candidate defeated the government candidate?                  

Alexander Mamoshin: Yes. But, no, he is not technical.

Valentin Filippov: Well, conditionally technical.                  

Alexander Mamoshin: Technically they forged it later. When they saw that the communist was bypassing, they started juggling. It is clear that somewhere there is a supply, somewhere there is a bribe. Both of them. Election system. And let no one say that it didn’t happen.

But the delivery means a person came in and signed. He cast his vote. Right? But when you just write stupidly, it’s chaos. This is a crime against the state, for which someone should be sentenced to five years. Otherwise, we expressed our opinion, and he was simply sent away.

So you say - the Far East. Our meat costs 500-600 rubles per kilogram. Yes? Do you know how much the Sakhalin bison costs?

Valentin Filippov: How many?                  

Alexander Mamoshin: 1200! 1200 dried. What are we talking about today? What's happening? The same system is liberal. One to one. Ignores opinions completely. Now he puts a suit on a cancer patient, powders him... remember the “Potemkin villages”, that’s how it was for the tsars, but now it’s all for the people. With the transfer of the capital, and what not. But fish costs more than meat. And here we have it. And this has been happening for decades.

I’ll joke a little, don’t let them be offended by me - the thieving people have the thieving power.

Valentin Filippov:  Yes.                 

Alexander Mamoshin: We all say “we are out of politics.” We're somewhere on the sidelines. We didn't do anything. True, we sold our vote for a bottle of vodka.

Valentin Filippov: No, well, in the end, it's our right. It's one thing to sell your vote for a bottle of vodka. It’s another matter when someone painted my voice and took the bottle of vodka for themselves. By and large, what did they do? A thousand voices equals a thousand bottles of vodka. They were like that, and with the stroke of a pen they stole a thousand bottles of vodka from the people.                  

Alexander Mamoshin: Valentin, are you from the provinces?

Valentin Filippov: Yes.                  

Alexander Mamoshin: And you think like us, professional guys.

Valentin Filippov: Well, if you happen to be born in an empire, it’s better to live in a remote province by the sea.                  

Alexander Mamoshin:  Well, we can no longer enter the forest with weapons, we can no longer graze cows. And you can only fish for five kilograms of fish.

Valentin Filippov:  Well, if it’s 1200 rubles per kilogram, then nothing. I went, caught five kilograms, and that was it. Five thousand a day is a good salary even in Moscow. But, you tell me, what now? Elections in Primorye governor in December. What's happening? Did these election commissions go to hell? Are they recruiting new ones?                  

Alexander Mamoshin: Vice versa. They left everyone. Just to deceive the people, they reinforced them with more competent specialists. Now they will invest more money.

The people, not like Ilya Muromets, have three roads. He was at a crossroads. One road is being prepared for the people. Like sheep in one direction. Going nowhere.

Valentin Filippov: Are the candidates the same again?                  

Alexander Mamoshin: Well, we don't discuss candidates. They may be good guys. But they fulfill the tasks of the liberal system, which rules here throughout the country. These people are just performers. They do the will. He may personally be a good person. He can do something useful. Bring some benefit from yourself personally. But as a man of the system, he will carry out the assigned task.

Let me give you a simple example. As a former member of the Legislative Assembly, I was on the economic policy committee. We patched up the road, helped everyone, gave everyone a free lunch. And we have the Yaroslavl Mining and Processing Plant. There are 200 years worth of waste reserves there. In Soviet times, 20% were removed from the periodic table. We have academicians who have developed a program for the comprehensive processing of this entire economy. Harmless, acid-free. We can make aluminum alloys and titanium alloys for aircraft. Five thousand tons are needed for Primorye alone. Here we have these people, I personally drove them, said - give them. No. The Chinese do everything for us. Everything is being developed.

The academician is asked how much more interest you will get? One says 20%. And grandpa says, I’ll pull out 80%.

I talked to the owner. I say, let people work, and Primorsky Krai will bring back jobs.

We have Dalnegorsk. And such a privatization plan that everything went for pennies. And these people are sitting now. For this privatization plan. Dalnegorsky GOK, datolite ore. Space industry. Electronics industry. Two enterprises in the world. Tell me, can he be bankrupt? If these enterprises are launched, there will be jobs in the Primorsky Territory.

An economic forum took place today. I have guys who participated in it with program documents. Very smart guys. A “great economic ring” has been created. Mongolia, Korea, China, Japan and Russia. Centered in Korea. What's happening? Russia has the option of becoming a full-fledged partner in this large economic ring. And not a raw material appendage. Now the whole of Vladivostok, the entire suburb, is being built up with retail warehouses. What are international corporations doing when they don’t pay taxes here? Our business is still silent. They do not understand that entry into Vladivostok will soon be prohibited for freight transport. And everyone will unload there. And, as usual, only offshore companies will remain. And the budget of the Primorsky Territory will not be filled. At all.

Our population outflow is 90 thousand per year. We are already one cripple per square kilometer. And the numerical population of Chinese is critical. Here are my gold mining comrades. Magadan. We went out and looked. Their gold mining was closed. And now they all rushed here. They are given five million yuan each, these working groups, so that they go and explore the Far East.

We mine almost 300 tons of gold per year. Only gold, not counting anything else. And we live in such a way that we cannot open factories. We talk a lot. But these titanium alloys, titanium alloys are prohibited in China - the output is harmful acids. And our production is harmless. People worked for 30 years. This is what we need to talk about.

That’s why we need to try to create people’s governance. Otherwise, we won’t be able to change the system in Russia, and we won’t be able to change the system everywhere. We will end up in complete poverty. And those who say so leave for another world for various reasons. Do you understand what I am talking about. And they start throwing mud at people like us, remembering how many rotten teeth there are in our mouths...

By elections. I'll add. I’m just sketching out the situation in the Primorsky Territory. Because it is now planned, in addition to the coal terminal in Nakhodka, where there are already black crabs and black crab meat, a decision has now been made, which will be carried out by any governor, this one or that one, on the construction of a million-ton metallurgical plant. With China. And do you know where? This is all a recreational area. The warmest waters. Trepang, scallop. An oil refinery will be built in the direction of Slavyanka. Can you imagine what will happen to the environment?

By election.

Valentin Filippov: By election.                  

Alexander Mamoshin: Now this system has all the resources. You can understand how jittery they are. It will be very embarrassing to burst the second time. And all of Russia, and the whole world is watching this. Therefore, the system breaks down harshly, they talk harshly. And, mind you, having the financial resources, they installed a municipal filter. Represented by 150 deputies. Try it - dial it. And the command was given. Now they will start five or six people. They will dig up everyone who is barely remembered from the political trash heap. Who has been involved since Cherepov’s times? And they will create this crowd so that those who are second today, and those for whom the people are today, will pass. And everything will be technically correct. But that's my opinion.

Valentin Filippov:  Well, in fact, there is nothing left at all before the elections. We need to come up with combinations very quickly somehow.                   

Alexander Mamoshin: Well, what's the combination? So I decided to go, the people are behind me, but try, sign 150 deputies. The people need to stand up and force their MP to sign it. And try to do it.

In England, fox hunting was once banned. I was just in London. They almost turned everything over there. Because this is culture, traditions, customs. And everything was returned to its place.

We don’t have a single deputy, he wasn’t even identified, no one even took a printout of his vote, what, guys, is this about reform. I voted like this. There is a right of revocation.

Valentin Filippov: As I understand it, you are going to engage in the formation of civil society.                    

Alexander Mamoshin: This is the primary task. Because, without forming a civil society, without seating it at the table, the active part of all social strata, we do not pull under us, we are a creative force. And then they began to say that I was going to be governor...

Valentin Filippov:  And they told me that he was ready.                 

Alexander Mamoshin: Understand…. Do you want me to not cheat? I'll tell you what's in your heart?

Valentin Filippov: Yes.                  

Alexander Mamoshin:  The chance to gather in a month, to raise society, is not realistic. If society stands up, I will go on its behalf. Or maybe a worthy person will come into the movement, there is Valentin from Sevastopol, he may, by all indicators, be more worthy than me. And we will move it.

Valentin Filippov: No no. I won’t get there, I won’t get there in this time.                    

Alexander Mamoshin: I don’t want to take such a load on my shoulders, right? Listen, I’ll tell you, you know, the strongest and strongest in spirit, they are either quietly imprisoned or sent to war along with their loved ones, and they die there for commercial interests. For pipes in Syria, for coal mines. Why are they dying? We now need to send everyone to three letters, this entire Western system. NATO is not NATO, you understand. Keep everyone away. Close Mother Russia. Bring order to the country. For the people to restore order in the country. It is necessary to bring statesmen to power who will negotiate with the whole World, but on equal terms. As it should be. We need to revive production and the economy. We need to stop the theft. And today, to some people, I would apply punishment according to the laws of martial law. Because our children are dying. And our brothers are dying. Our country has perished. This is my opinion, and I will never give it up anywhere.

Valentin Filippov: Fine. On this optimistic note, I want to thank you for the sparkling interview. And for the fact that you brought us up to date on what is happening there in Primorye. And how are gubernatorial elections organized?                  

Alexander Mamoshin:  Well, if anything happens, don’t blame me. Best wishes. I have the honor.
