RUSSIAN TSAR WANNABE(HATES EVEN RUSSIAN FLAG): Putin appoints even more fascist #2 Mikhail Degtyarev(also member of fascist Vladimir Zhirinovsky's Liberal Democratic Party) for replacement of Sergei Furgal(governor) position - this man individual went as far as asking for replacement of Russian flag with imperial Russian flag


On 16 July 2016, Degtyarev was introduced to the State Duma a bill on changing colors stripes of the national flag. Instead of the white-blue-red tricolor official status proposed to assign black-yellow-white flag of the Russian Empire. "Under the imperial flag, we scored a brilliant victory, he is able today to unite all the citizens of Russia" — he told the Izvestia newspaper said.[15]


With seeing what I see above, Russian politic no longer is for/about Russia, but instead all about power grab which will serve Western interests either way. I no longer support Russian Belarus union because of seen above and for that matter you can thank Mr. Putin - those who allowed it to be this way. If anything, I would prefer Belarus Lukashenko to become president of Russia as Putin did nothing other than divided/broke apart Slavic unity for the sake of his power ambitions. Zhirinovsky(a real anti Russian fascist - German agent) seems to be Putin's main factor - power engine as everything Putin is installing is from his political party. HORROR as it appears to be no Russian candidate who would take initiative in presidential elections(Navalny from Yale University and Russian communist party leader who was in bed with the same Western structures as Navalny was) !!!

Vladimir Putin has chosen a politician from Russia’s tightly controlled “systemic opposition” to run a far eastern region rocked by a week and a half of protests after the arrest of its popular governor. The appointment of Mikhail Degtyarev, a 39-year-old lawmaker from the nationalist Liberal Democratic party of Russia, as governor of Khabarovsk came after tens of thousands of people took to the streets at the weekend for the second Saturday running.  Protesters braved 30C heat and a bomb warning to demand that the security services release Sergei Furgal, the LDPR politician who defeated a Kremlin-appointed governor in an electoral upset in 2018. Demonstrators chanted slogans calling for Mr Putin’s resignation. In a sign of the Kremlin’s jitters over the unexpected wave of protests, officials let the crowds disperse peacefully but claimed people had been paid to attend. State television suggested locals had been egged on by paid provocateurs working for the US government.

Though Mr Putin won overwhelming support in a vote on constitutional amendments earlier this month that could potentially extend his rule until 2036, the protests indicate that anger with falling living standards and the Kremlin’s patchy coronavirus response have sent Mr Putin’s approval ratings to their lowest level on record.  Khabarovsk, a normally sleepy city of 600,000 on the Chinese border 8,000km east of Moscow, became the unlikely focal point for that anger this month after security services arrested Mr Furgal on charges of ordering two contract killings and a third attempted killing in the mid-2000s. Murky score-settling between businessmen was rife in the metals and timber trade where Mr Furgal, who denies the charges against him, made his money in Khabarovsk before going into politics. But it was the heavy-handed move against him that struck a chord in the region, which has long chafed against what locals see as imperious micromanagement of their affairs. Kremlin officials had warned Mr Furgal that his popularity was outstripping Mr Putin’s. Khabarovsk gave the LDPR a majority in the regional parliament last year and returned one of the lowest turnouts for Mr Putin’s constitutional amendments.

Yuri Trutnev, Mr Putin’s special envoy for the far east, said last week that “law enforcement would never have arrested a sitting governor unless they had 100 per cent ironclad justification” but admitted the Kremlin had “underestimated the extent to which people in Khabarovsk were sick” of the previous Putin-appointed governor. Mr Degtyarev, a native of Samara in the Volga region who ran for mayor of Moscow in 2013, has no previous connection to Khabarovsk or the far east and is best known as a youthful proxy for the LDPR’s ageing ultranationalist leader, Vladimir Zhirinovsky. He told Mr Putin in a video call on Monday that he was “ready to fly to Khabarovsk immediately” and asked the Kremlin for additional support for the region during the pandemic.

Mr Putin’s decision to appoint an LDPR member was “compensation” for Mr Zhirinovsky, a longstanding member of the “systemic opposition” the Kremlin uses to provide a valve for dissent and nationalist sentiment, political scientist Ekaterina Schulmann said. “We put one guy from your party in jail, so let’s make another one the governor.” Parties such as LDPR are becoming the focal point for protests “almost against their will,” Ms Schulmann added. “LDPR is quite a powerful political force in Khabarovsk — not because it’s LDPR, but because it represents what legal opposition is possible.”
