A mother of three, 40-year-old Ekaterina Duntsova lives in Rzhev (55,000 inhabitants), the second largest city in the Tver region bordering the Moscow region.

The biggest news of the last months in Russia and among every one else, who is interested in Russian Federation. She is running for a president of RF. She’s against the war.

Now it’s known, that she’s been denied some procedure to continue here move. Do you watch? Do you care? Do you support? I do.

Latest news, the Russian Election Commission refused her candidature because of a critical statement made by her. Any opposition there is swept off the table before anything can happen. Believe it or not but the whole world is helping, directly or indirectly. That...that is unbelievable.confused sigh
Helping... whom?

Another Svetlana Tihonoskaya or Juan Guaido.rolling on the floor laughing


Can you just live a peacefull life in Sweden and leave Russia alone.
Grow up!
I can. Thank you for asking. I don't disturb Russia in any way.

If you have something to tell me: do it. Though, keep in mind, you don't own this place. As you don't own Russia.

This is a USA site and they observe liberty of speech. Something a ziganaut cannot understand.

You live in a NATO country and act against it. This shoe doesn't squeeze anywhere? Should I alert Canadian authorities?

Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya speaks for the Belarusians in exile. Russian anti-putin anti-war exile would gain if it had one. But no, I am not one.
It's news to me and I'm interested.

Any time there is a possiblity of a woman against war in a leadership role I am interested.

I think she must be enormously brave and strong-willed just to put her name out there.

Maybe there is not much hope for her, but her challenge chips away at male, autocratic, warmonering dominance.

What woman, mother, or grandmother would not applaud her?
My impression is that your media inform on the subject. You can always follow. It actually will be more, than her supporter, like me, can hope for.
rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing Jac, does that mean you just looove Tulsi Gabbard?
Is that a put down from one woman to another...?
Does that mean you hate all women you can't overpower and feck up the arse?
Pardon?
My apologies.

Maybe an issue of translation and misinterpretation on my part.

Of course I hope for this brave young woman with all my heart.
Yes. hug
Well... the more people outside Russia know her and, can I say?, care, the more chances she has to survive.

Today they denied here registering as a runner for presidency in the same - the very same - words as they did to Navalny a few years ago: "You are too young... go and have a life..."

You know where Navalny is now, don't you? Well... I don't.
Eww.
Is there anything practical we can do to supprt her and help protect her?
If your government would express some concern about conditions and state of the political prisoners. I can provide a list. Would it help? I doubt it.

There's a reason for the word Londongrad.

If your government would express some concern about conditions and state of the possibilities or the current power to be changed in an election...



...everybody will die laughing.
If Ekaterina Duntsova had won
would she had pulled back the troops from "occupied land"?
Was that in her program?
Yes.

Are you waiting for "siloviki" to drag her by her hair so that you'd able to make a joke of humour?
I'm concerned about the safety of the about the millions of Russians
in Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts
if Russian forces are to leave them behind.
That comes across as too risky
so it's better to let Russia control that part from now on.
Agree?
Was gonna write about ten million but being it's a bit less I changed it, and.. yea.. i'ts late now-

a bunch, to let Azov come at them again is not ideal.

No.

People, both russophones or otherwise of those places you've named are either emigrated, mostly to Poland, some to the Western parts of Ukraine to relatives / friends or to Russia (because the"green" corridore was only open to the Russian side - you've read about it, didn't you? If not: "Important stories" provide a lot of information about it. Mariupol - read about it.) or farther to EU and USA and other part of the globe, and through Baltic counties westward and on... Point is: not possible to trace. Point also is: they didn't want to remain under the "Russian world". And it's Russian-speaking population, mind.

The thing you cannot grasp is: the Eastern part of Ukraine, the Russian-speaking one, it is the very part that is suffering in the war. It is this population that Russian army loot, torture, rape, kill. It is this population, that is in exile. It is that population, that does not - NOT - want to live under putin.

I don't want live under putin. He is KGBshnik, thief, killer, usurper, war criminal. Those, who support him, either do it for money or are just stupid people. (There are plenty of those...)

You?

You are one of those men, who are happy, when women, especially young women, get hurt. It's closest you can get to them. You are a nit.
You seem imcapable to speak about this topíc calmly.

Let putin have that part cos its dominated by Russians that Zelensky never cared a heck of a lot about.
If they had not fired upon his forces february 2022 everything would have been much better.
I don’t believe that as long as in a country where there is no freedom of speech and press, there are no independent courts, where bandits are in power, where oppositionists who are inconvenient to the bandits are kidnapped (Navalny, for example) and killed (Starovoytova, Nemtsov), something could be changed. The fact that Duntsova was eliminated so easily confirms all this. The West, especially Great Britain, which is loyal to Putin, will remain silent. no support will come from there. Opposition to the bandits must first come from within Russia, but the blinkered and downtrodden people of Russia are not yet ready for the changes. they will not rebel against the bandit tsar. It's a dead end for now... Unfortunately crying
Grandsy, you know that I agree with you on many topics, but when it comes to Russia and Ukraine, I am completely not on your side. you are 100 percent misinformed.
Tulefell, it was said that Putin would block any candidate who posed a risk to him. Ekaterina Duntsova wanted to run on an anti-war basis. This was far too controvercial for Putin because he has worked hard to convince the people that the war was justified and the soldiers were doing their patriotic duty. Ekaterina Duntsova would have been informing the people of the truth and Putin couldn't allow that.
She may still work as an protest activist but she will be arrested or assassinated without doubt.
Tulefell, with regard to Ukrainians fleeing from danger here is a video from earlier about that. Read the comments too.



Yes, exactly this. Putler can't allow an anti-war candidate have a campaign and freely speak against his war. And it his and only his war. No one in Russia needs it and never did.

Diversion: a few weeks ago, relatives to a mother, living in a remote region (Buryatia) to a son, who died in this war, told her that her son died in a war with NATO. They say that she would never believe that he died in a war with Ukraine. That's outside her understanding.

But back to Duntsova. She is a very brave decent woman, who have both moral and courage. A lot more than you can say of many men, both in Russia and elsewhere. I don't believe she'll be "allowed" - you need allowance from huilo, never mind the constitution - to run, though she is still trying this and that... latest attempt: she asked Yabloko (an established party) to have her as their candidate, on which the old prostitute Yavlinsky (leader) answered he doesn't know who she is... Well... everybody else knows, but him...

Nonetheless, don't forget her! The more people remember her, the more hope she'll survive until putin's death or the court in Hague.
Thank you for this video, I watch Deusche Welle now and then, but in Russian. I do follow this war from the very beginning and there was no new information for me in it. I looked briefly through the first 15-20 comments. They all are in English. What people does it come from? Anglophone Ukrainians and Russians? Located where? Would you explain your point?
The most of what you say is truth and I am grateful that you care to know and express your attitude. The only thing I am not agree with is "dead end". Duntsova is not the only, she is a tiny tip of an anti-war anti-putin iceberg. There's still some hope for Russia.

At last, from the moral part of view.

The demographic and the economic perspectives are dreadful, though :/
Confirm: I cannot speak about this topic calmly. I have too much emotional connection to Russia. Still.

I am also a woman.



Zelensky ran and won as a Russian-speaker. He spoke Russian until 24th Feb 2022. After that he switched to Ukrainian (and still makes errors).

I am wondering about your opinion on what to do with Russian-speaking population in the Baltic countries. For ex: ca 40% of Lithuanian population have Russian as native and now Lithuanian authorities, chosen during democratic procedures, want those people to have some basic Lithuanian or leave the country, thank you. Should putin start a special military operation of looting, raping, killing the Lithuanians in order to support Russian-speakers there? What's about Latvia and Estland? Or Kazakhstan?

In Sep 2022 putin started mogilization and ca 500 000 (lowest estimate) people, mostly young men, some with families, left Russia. A lot of them went to Georgia. Some to Serbia. Some made it to Thailand. What are conditions for learning and maintaining Russian language there?

Aching for the answer.
I'm pleased to see you on here, very best wishes from the coming new year fantazyiyawave
Ok, so you mean to say that if Russia pull back its troops it will be safe to be Russain speaking in Ukraine. Ok, let's hope that is accurate.

Here is what is inclear to me, yes I still have things to learn to get a deeper understanding of the background here. Being you have more insight to the situation I wonder of you can tell me in simple terms, how did the unrest start in Donbass in 2014. One side say the russia backed seperatists wanted to go out of Ukraine and start a state of their own of no perticulart reason and that Russia was pushing on that for own reasons: to get hold of rich mines and factories in Donbass.
The other version is that Kiev was going too fast westwards and Donbass people felt threthened and with support from Moscow they started a self defence uprising towards Azov bulles sent from Kiev. Was Kiev afraid to lose taxes and income from Donbass?
This stuff is unclear to me but I know the Americans was already being hangarounds and usually that can make for a regime change that not always is to the bast of a land. Often then corrupt leaders tend to sell out a lot of rights to multinational mega concerns in return of personal wealth.

So that story is not very well understood by me.
What I can understand is that Putin felt threatened by Nato and always felt disrespected by the neverending eastern expansion and draw the line here. That reason I get.
But the Donbass stuff going on since 2014 with many civilian deaths, I could learn more about.
Here is a link to the summary on the topic. If you are interested in facts, that is.



Still aching for your solution for pacifying Russophones aroung the globe. Especially in those countries, that consider Russia as occupier and suppressor. Either former or latent.

Yakutia, aka Sokha enters the chat :)
Don't know what you're talking about, but it's not what I need.

See you later.
You are taking farewell as if this train is going any time now. It is not. So, please, no need.

You typed a lot about "dombing bambass" and all that putin's propaganda stuff about "8 years". I provided a link, with English subtitles, to the summary on the very same matter. This summary is based on facts. The said facts are provided in the said summary. But of course, it's for the people, who want to know facts. Not for those, who want to repeat propaganda. (In Russia, those, who believe in propaganda, are called "shit-eaters". Inherited from Brezhnev times. But you are not supposed to know.)

I also wondered about your solution for the Russian-speaking population in the Baltic countries, Kazakhstan, Georgian and in every other place, there Russian speakers leave. Estimation: 20-30 millions currently. Or is it only Ukraine, that matters. Why?
@OP it strikes me that anyone outside the Putin immediate inner circle is most unlikely to have or to acquire any meaningful power. Here is a year old article by the Australian ABC

Apart from the recent article about the barring of Duntsova I suspect there has been no news here in distant Australia.
On the other hand two of the recent American presidential candidates also seemed unlikely, for racial/gender reasons, yet one famously succeeded and one famously failed. Russia of course is a totally different kettle of fish and Russian succession is simply not in the hands of the people. Defenestration is a method known to have been used on occasion to discourage opposition.
Again I feel the need to repeat a line from the late Sinaed O'Connors Emperors New Clothes:
"through their own words, they will be exposed".
What you reveal is anger towards Putin. That is fine, you have your reasons.
But it is not what I need here. I know many hate him, I have just not seen myself what makes him so bad.
The same with Trump: they say he is bad but everytime I ask what it is I gat some weak woolen answer.

Predictable your link is one and a half hour long. I was after your own assesment, cos that is blogs to me.
You might think I will use what you say against you but no, I was from a neutral standpoint genuinly interested of what you (who is on the other side of the viewpoint here than me) think about it, personally. So I maybe could learn something from it. However I'll skim through the 1.5 hour long anti-Putin doku to see what is the conclusion. Perhaps I can see in comments and save some time.
Grandsi,it seems to me the problem is in a mutual misunderstanding between you and Tulefell because she cannot or does not know how to convey the truth to you because of her hyper-emotionality... just like me sometimes. And you, even though you are neutral, you have still heard the truth from the wrong people. and everything you know about Putin and Russia is not what it really is. you just need to talk to intelligent people from Russia, some of whom are in Putin’s concentration camps, and the other part of whom fled beyond the borders of Russia.
Russia is a country of bandits. It’s not a secret that former KGB employees created gangs there. Putin, as a former KGB person, is exactly like that. just his scale is all of Russia, and not individual regions. then he wanted to take control of Ukraine, which was and still is as corrupt as Russia, but it decided to head west direction... of course it will be a long journey, more than one decade, but that’s what the people of this country decided. the main KGB bandit didn’t like it... it’s just like some group of a mafia gang got out of his control. That's the truth in a few words . in fact, there are many more nuances and details that you can learn when you are ready for it
Ok Salamuna,
I think I understand.
The people of Donbas themselves what do they feel,
do they feel robbed of EU membership most of them?

Anyhoo, cool.
I suppose one day the truth will come about,
when the smoke clears.
