It is also obvious to me that Sobyanin and Moscow City Hall are behind the harassment campaign against Yashin’s family. The involvement of the TV Center channel directly points to that.
Even without any election, he is already a thorn in their side—the Krasnoselsky District municipal council led by Yashin is now the only organized force consistently (and quite successfully) fighting the Moscow mafia.
And now they are also afraid that he will run for mayor on these ideas. In that case, they can kiss their dreams of a comfortable, stage-managed campaign goodbye.
All of this is clear, and there is nothing new here.
What is new is the approach—the depth of depravity at which this smear campaign is being carried out.
You really have to lose every shred of humanity to do something like this: the prosecutor’s office forces the management of a care home to let an NTV film crew in to see an elderly woman suffering from dementia. And once they get into her room, they shove a camera in her face and question her for an hour.
She has nowhere to get away from them. She is completely helpless. Aleshkovsky writes about this absolutely rightly.
Disgusting. Simply disgusting.
Sending support to Yashin’s family.
Ilya, keep going after the crooks at 13 Tverskaya. They deserve it.
