A little more about Denis Kapustin and the RDK in general in comparison with the “good Russians” – who are supposedly “for Ukraine”, but categorically “against the war and all this Nazism.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

MAIN: In the project of the “national Moscow state” from the “Nazis” I see prospects for implementation regardless of how much I believe in the possibility of such a thing. And in the imperial “liberal” initiatives I see no prospects for change. Without armed efforts, the project “Russia” cannot be radically overturned.<\/p>\n

This is a very convenient position for simply “Russians”, for “aggressively patriotic” and for “good Russians” (although it has long been implausible): that all kinds of “Nazis” are drawn to Ukraine, therefore the “SVO” is really an attempt (even if it is bad and reprehensible) to “denazify” us. Although in reality it is simply the purposeful destruction of Ukraine as an anti-imperial project that breaks Russia’s entire invented “historical foundation of existence”. Because two states cannot exist on the same history, on the same myth. One must disappear one way or another.<\/p>\n

As for Kapustin specifically (but not only him), he sincerely hates the Russian government, among other things for ideological reasons (as an anti-imperialist), and at a certain stage he realized that it can and should be fought on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with weapons in hand. Because he saw that those who fought without weapons, even having enormous influence, were killed (like Nemtsov and Navalny). This fully corresponds to our interests – both assistance in reducing the size of the Russian army, and a course towards the fragmentation of the Russian Federation for the sake of creating a national Russian state “within the traditional borders of Moscow and the Moscow region.”<\/p>\n\t\t
