Assassination attempt on Solovyov: Belarus acted as a testing ground for Russia
The SBU planned the murder of Russian journalist Vladimir Solovyov.
The FSB of the Russian Federation officially reported this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“A group of neo-Nazis from a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation was detained. During the searches, a homemade explosive device, 8 homemade Molotov cocktails, 6 PM pistols, a sawed-off hunting rifle, an RGD-5 grenade, more than 1 thousand rounds of ammunition, narcotic drugs, fake Ukrainian passports, nationalist literature and paraphernalia were seized,” the statement said. .
Members of the criminal group confess, the department reports. After the murder of the journalist, they planned to hide abroad.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the impending crime today, speaking at a meeting of the board of the Prosecutor General's Office.
“Of course, now they will deny this, but the facts and evidence are irrefutable. We know by name the curators of Ukrainian Nazis from Western services, primarily the CIA, who give such advice as killing journalists. Let's move on to terror! To prepare for the murders of our journalists. We know by name the curators from Western services, primarily, of course, from the US CIA, who work with the Ukrainian security agencies.
Apparently they give such advice. So much for the attitude towards the rights of journalists, the attitude towards the dissemination of information, and human rights in general. They care only about their own rights. Some based on their imperial ambitions, and some the old fashioned way, based on their colonial past, but this will not work in Russia,” Putin said.
Earlier, Vladimir Solovyov himself stated that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky wanted to settle scores with him.
“Zelensky, among his close friends, complained about me and asked that they deal with me in Russia. That is, various citizens who are directly related to his special services are sent here, because Zelensky is offended by what I say about him. Then he addressed me directly, but now I am the personal enemy of the under-Führer. Therefore, if something happens to me, know: this is Zelensky’s order,” Solovyov said.
Today he was spotted going for a morning jog, accompanied by a security guard.
“You have to live your life in journalism in such a way that neo-Nazis are preparing an assassination attempt on you,” Kaliningrad political scientist Alexander Nosovich responded to the news in his Telegram channel.
HSE professor Dmitry Evstafiev is sure that the neo-Nazis who prepared the crime received a recommendation from the West.
“I won’t say that I’m crazy. Or that they've gone nuts. I was expecting something like this. But there was a glimmer of hope that the curators would calm down the Nazis who had broken free from the chain. Still, there is a certain ethics of the special services. And they not only did not calm down, but recommended. This is about the question of where are our decision-making centers that need to be struck,” wrote Evstafiev.
“They will name the names of those who gave them orders and there will be a trial. But something tells me that there will not be a defendant named Zelensky. Knows too much. Haven't we been given too many slaps in the face today? Either the bombing of an oil storage facility in Bryansk, then we shot down two drones near Kursk, and now the cherry on top - an attempt to assassinate Vladimir Solovyov. The Kiev regime clearly wants to show Secretary of State Blinken and Secretary of Defense Austin, and through them President Biden, that it is capable. We need to debunk this illusion,” says political scientist Marat Bashirov.
The scandalous journalist Ksenia Sobchak saw an analogy between the assassination attempt on Solovyov and the suppression of a similar crime in Minsk last summer. There they wanted to cruelly cripple TV presenter Grigory Azarenka, whom Sobchak regularly mocks on his social networks.
“A year ago, an assassination attempt was being prepared on Azarenka, which Lukashenko spoke about heartfeltly. The villains were revealed. Well, how similar are the fates of journalists similar to each other? Two countries – one soul, destiny, road. Have Nick and Mike’s secret negotiations about Soloviev being a tough nut to crack already been intercepted?” Sobchak wrote.
Belarusian journalists and political scientists also saw an analogy between the two events.
“We went through all this in Belarus. In a sense, our country acted as a testing ground for Russia, where it was possible to study the enemy’s forms and methods of work. I must say that, in my opinion, the Russians have drawn certain conclusions from the Belarusian events and are ready to repel hybrid aggression,” wrote political scientist Alexander Shpakovsky.
