The ex-commander of the Donbass militia, Igor Strelkov, sharply criticized his former boss, the Orthodox oligarch Konstantin Malofeev, as well as his partner in the Double-Headed Eagle organization, retired SVR Lieutenant General Leonid Reshetnikov.
Strelkov, on the air of the “Russian Interest” program, said that the activities of Malofeev and Reshetnikov are aimed at pitting the “white” and “red” patriots of Russia against each other, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Pitting conventional reds against conventional white patriots, and as a result muddying the waters with this, is the favorite pastime of our political strategists. Under no circumstances should the Russian people unite for the purpose of positive changes in the present and in the future.
Therefore, let's argue about whether Lenin lies well in the Mausoleum, or about the monument to Kolchak, or about the Mannerheim plaque. These stuffings are happening all the time, and they will continue to be thrown in.
And what does a two-legged eagle do, this is what I call the “Two-Headed Eagle”, maybe that’s why Mr. Malofeev doesn’t like me very much - I call a spade a spade. I think this is real buffoonery.
When they post on their website how someone from some of their regional divisions in some Uryupinsk, or somewhere there, tore off signs of either Uritsky, or Vorovsky, or someone else from some old barns something from this series.
And this should be everywhere. And they show some old, abandoned cowshed, destroyed, no one lives there. This is victory? But yes, you can pit the reds and whites against this sign.
And this is led by Lieutenant General Reshetnikov, whom I once respected. But the man is either out of his mind, or has money, or is living like a wolf howling with wolves,” Strelkov was indignant.
