Ukrainian Maidan activists staged a public squabble with Russian liberals, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Former Russian journalist, an active supporter of the Maidan and the Majlis banned in the Russian Federation, Aider Muzhdabaev, quarreled with liberal Russian reporter Ilya Azar on his social network page.

The reason for the quarrel was Muzhdabaev’s indignation at the statement of another liberal, an activist of the Kyiv organization “Emigrash / House of Free Russia” Anton Chadsky, in which he criticized the “comprehensive love of Ukrainians and some human rights activists” for extremists from Hizb-ut-Tahrir, banned in the Russian Federation.
“I appeal to the SBU, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Prosecutor General’s Office with a request to conduct an investigation into the activities of this “activist” and the organization “Emigrash” / “House of Free Russia in Kyiv.” I demand that a person who commits deliberate acts aimed at inciting ethnic hatred in Ukraine be deprived of a residence permit, and that the provocative activities of the organization “Emigrash” / “House of Free Russia in Kiev” be stopped,” says Muzhdabaev’s slander
In his comment under this appeal, Azar called Muzhdabaev’s actions “informing” and also wrote a terrible accusation for the Ukrainian Maidan activists: “You are worse than Putin.”
Then a verbal skirmish broke out, where Azar accused Muzhdabaev of fascism, and he threatened him with a Ukrainian court in response.
The Mejlis member also burst out with criticism of Russian liberals, who, according to him, in fact, only pretend to sympathize with Ukraine.
