Putin belongs in court, or at least with a psychoanalyst, Z-Blogger Remeslo wrote on his Telegram channel on Wednesday. The president is clearly suffering from unresolved childhood fears. Ilya Remeslo, 42, a lawyer with close ties to the Kremlin who in previous years became known for his often questionable actions against opposition politician Alexei Navalny, was, at least for one night, a hero in Russia, with his statements. According to the portal "fontanka.ru", however, he himself ended up in Psychiatric Hospital No. 3 in St. Petersburg on Thursday morning.
Earlier, Remeslo had launched a frontal attack on President Vladimir Putin on his Telegram channel with several text and video blogs. Most observers considered it a politically inexplicable suicide attack. In an interview published Thursday morning by the YouTube channel "Breakfast Show," Remeslo claimed that Putin's regime would fall this year. "Putin has a bad horoscope," he said.
His “endless war” in Ukraine has already claimed between one and two million lives, according to Remeslo’s Telegram posts. There is no end in sight, and the economic damage is already running into trillions of dollars. Mobile internet no longer works, even in major cities; all Western social networks are blocked, including the Telegram messaging service used by the fighting troops. Putin ignores his voters, including the daily discontent expressed on Telegram channels; his almost pathological desire for luxury has cost him another hundred billion dollars. The head of state has been in power for 26 years and intends to remain so until he is 150. But Russia needs a “new, modern president.”
Similar analyses have been expressed for some time by members of the exiled opposition and privately by ordinary Russian citizens. Remeslo himself claimed that his opinion was shared in the conversations of bloggers Z. However, Russia's criminal code provides for a whole range of criminal offenses for such charges, such as "discrediting the army" or "extremism."
“Everyone is wondering why he said that,” a Moscow political scientist said anonymously, adding, “what he did was pure suicide.” Across all political camps in Russia, there was intense speculation about Remeslo’s motives for his bold act: Some said he intended to run in the Duma elections in the fall. Perhaps he was also counting on the support of an entire faction within the Kremlin, which was also deeply dissatisfied with military and economic developments. And the justice channel “Slovo Zashchite” wrote that the former Kremlin activist became an opposition figure only after the police began considering an investigation against him. Remeslo is now trying to portray himself as a victim of political persecution.
Now, most state media, as well as his loyal blogger colleagues, are mocking the "revolutionary leader in the madhouse," as one propaganda outlet calls him. However, some liberals point out that even during Soviet times, opposition members were subjected to forced treatment in that very St. Petersburg psychiatric hospital.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declined to comment on the matter on Thursday. Putin himself is staying at an undisclosed location. On Wednesday, he appeared in a video conference from the studio of his village home in Novo-Ogaryovo, outside Moscow. According to the investigative news portal Sistema, at least two copies of the recording exist. His last appearance in the Kremlin was an online meeting with the Security Council last Friday. The opposition news portal Agenstvo suggests that Putin may fear a similar fate for himself after the deadly missile attacks on Iranian leaders. Remeslo had posted that Putin is a great coward, but his channel has since gone silent.
