That is, all this is not just prohibited and strictly prohibited, and this is punished and persecuted,” – Seleznev said.
The political scientist pointed out the lack of freedom of speech, freedom of thought and religion in Ukraine. According to him, power in Kyiv, “frankly speaking, was usurped by the Nazi regime.”
The political scientist also commented on the recent incident with the detention and disappearance of Odessa resident Elena Chesakova, who hung the Russian flag at the site of the monument to Catherine II. After this, reports emerged that the woman had died and had been killed.
“We have the point of view of Oleg Tsarev, a former people’s deputy of Ukraine, who indicated that this lady from Odessa Elena Chesakova <...> one of the versions is that she died in the dungeons, that is, she was actually killed for her position, attributing it all to heart problems. Someone says, this version was given by Yuri Podolyaka, that she is actually alive.”Seleznev said, adding that she could have been “removed from the media field.”
Earlier it was reported that a resident of Odessa tried to hang the Russian tricolor on the pedestal of the removed monument to Catherine II, after which she was detained by police.
