Terrorist Girkin-Strelkov (currently in Russian jail) has decided to run for president of Russia. He posted the list of his benefits as potential president on his Telegram channel:
"ON THE NOMINATION AS A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OF RUSSIA
Here are my advantages compared to the incumbent president under the circumstances of the Special Military Operation:
1️⃣. The president refuses to lead military actions, and considers himself incompetent in military affairs. I consider myself more competent in military affairs than the incumbent president, and certainly more competent than the current defense minister, so I could perform the duty of commander-in-chief as required by the Russian Constitution.
2️⃣. Our president is an extremely gullible person, he has been led on for 8 years - together and separately - by Obama, Trump, Macron, Merkel, Poroshenko and Zelenskyy. They fooled him in Minsk and in the Normandy format, in Istanbul and in many other places. For my part, I can note: since 2014, I have never called those persons who led the acting president on "dear and respected partners". On the contrary, I have never believed them for a second.
3️⃣. The current president is too kind. When the SMO began a year and a half ago, he was quickly able to see that he had been led on not only by his "respected Western and Kiev partners", but also by the heads of our security agencies, intelligence agencies, and military-industrial complex. It turned out that neither Russia as a country, nor the army, or the industry were ready for the war, while the so-called Ukraine was not at all a "straw dummy" in military terms. Nevertheless, all the heads of these structures (as well as of the others, such as the Central Bank) have remained in their places and continue to amaze us with their incompetence.
I am not so kind at all, as I can prove in practice.
4️⃣. Our president has a lot of friends - billionaires and other businessmen, to whom he cannot refuse anything (due to the above-mentioned kindness and generosity of soul). As a result, the export of capital from russia continues, while the military production grows much slower than the capitals of the president's friends. I don't have a single friend who is even a millionaire, I don't have many friends who are businessmen, I don't have many friends in general, and most of them are not rich people. Accordingly, I will not have to give in to the wishes of my friends to the detriment of russia's economy.
5️⃣. Vladimir Vladimirovich is a highly moral person, always true to his word and firmly fulfills the promises made to those who brought him to power at the end of the turbulent "nineties". I promised nothing to anyone and can therefore ignore all personal guarantees of all presidents of the Russian Federation from 1991 to present days, if I consider that beneficial to the people and the state.
6️⃣. I am not as athletic and healthy as Vladimir Vladimirovich was in my age, so simply physically I will not be able to bore you, dear voters, for 20+ years, even if I suddenly desire to deal with you after the military crisis and its most severe consequences are overcome.
Igor Strelkov. August 30, 2023."

Vladimir Solovyov was furious about Ukraine's latest drone attack. Blinded by rage, he revealed that Russian experts are urging the Kremlin to end this war and came close to admitting that Russia can't win with conventional weapons.

Propagandist Salavyov is hysterical again. He shouts that it is necessary to "destroy the Baltic region! Wipe it off the face of the earth!"
By the way, these clothes are marked USSR. Imagine a German journalist sitting in clothes with a swastika. It would be a scandal. But its russia...
