Putin’s United Russia loyalists are hunting for traitors. They look for them every day, everywhere.
Criticize Putin? You’re a traitor! They’ll put you on trial. Speak out against the war? Traitor! They’ll invalidate your passport. Leave the country? They’ll confiscate your property.
United Russia members see traitors everywhere. Medvedev has even threatened people with murder, saying that since we’re in wartime, assassins should be sent after the discontented. Quiet, flawless ones.
That’s the new Putinist ideology. But you and I know that Putin and his entire party have always had a different, real ideology — theft, lies, and hypocrisy. They tell you: go fight, kill, and die, and if you don’t want to, then you’re a traitor. But they themselves… Well, you know: “I’m Peskov’s son, actually — they can’t draft me into the war.”
You get a trench near Soledar, while they get Dubai. That’s where Defense Minister Shoigu’s son-in-law and daughter spent New Year’s.
And the same story repeats itself again and again: the louder a United Russia member shouts about patriotism and the “decadent West,” the more he steals and hides his money in that very same decadent West.
Sometimes, to expose a corrupt official, you have to travel to the other side of the world, obtain records, and spend weeks studying documents and financial schemes. But sometimes ordinary Google Maps is enough.
Let’s head over to Montenegro. Virtually, unfortunately. All around us are lush greenery and beautiful mountains.
We drive our virtual convertible toward the mountains. And stop right here.
Yes, next to a villa bearing a name dear to every United Russia loyalist: “California.”
Now let’s look closely at the photos. We see several houses: one of them, the one on the left, is rented out to tourists by the day, while the others are intended for permanent residence and are not available to rent.
In the next image, several parked cars are visible. One of them is a white Ford with... Russian license plates: A917OT777.
This Ford, conveniently captured on Google Maps, belongs not just to anyone, but to a member of the State Duma (Russia’s lower house of parliament).
And not just any lawmaker, but one of the ideologues of the United Russia party: Oleg Viktorovich Morozov.
This mustached gentleman is a veteran lawmaker: he served in the State Duma from its very first convocation and remained there continuously until 2012. After that, he oversaw domestic policy in the presidential administration, served as a senator in the Federation Council (Russia’s upper house), and of course Morozov is a regular guest on Solovyov’s TV shows.
Now, having been re-elected to the State Duma, he is dazzling everyone with new legislative initiatives. Morozov proposes bombing Kyiv.
He wants Russians who left the country to be given undesirable person status, and Western politicians to be kidnapped and forcibly brought to Russia for trial.
Naturally, Morozov’s official disclosure lists no property in Montenegro. The villa is registered not in his name, but in that of his own sister, Olga Nasibullina.
In 2015, Morozov’s sister became the owner of a house worth €300,000. The sister herself, of course, had no money for a villa like that.
Morozov’s house has 320 square meters (about 3,440 square feet), 100 of them a loft attic, from which he can come downstairs and take a swim in the pool.
All around there’s greenery, mountains, and the sea just ten minutes from the house.
It must be very pleasant to step out onto the terrace, take a deep breath, and threaten Poland with war — calling it “first in line” for “denazification.”
Naturally, Morozov considers NATO — the alliance his house is located in — a threat to Russia. And for his beloved Montenegro, Morozov predicts total economic collapse.
You might ask whether Deputy Morozov, whose family owns property on NATO territory, is himself some kind of foreign agent. Don’t worry — there’s someone to deal with Morozov. After all, the State Duma has an entire commission for countering foreign influence!
Our next hero is actually a member of that commission, so he’ll surely know how to deal with this Montenegro-based United Russia man. Meet Oleg Matveychev.
Also a lawmaker, and a member of the United Russia faction. On Wikipedia, apparently, he describes himself as a philosopher, writer, and political analyst. His political forecasts, however, are not exactly impressive. A year ago, he predicted that Kyiv and Odesa would be taken within three days, and all of Ukraine within ten.
He calls NATO “a cancerous tumor on the body of the planet.” On top of that, this patriot hates the opposition and calls for it to be crushed with tanks.
Matveychev, like our previous hero, also appears on Solovyov’s TV shows, where he says that the West is a land of harsh totalitarianism, ruled by censorship.
“Your families will wash once a week, and in winter you’ll sleep in fur coats,” he threatens Europe. You’ll say Matveychev is a clown and a madman? You’d be right, of course. But that’s not all. Haven’t you forgotten United Russia’s main “traditional value”? HY-POC-RI-SY.
Here is Matveychev, in yet another fit, declaring the following: “We need children to grow up here who have never heard the names Grebenshchikov or Pugacheva” (two iconic Russian musicians). And it seems he has figured out how to achieve that goal: simply raise your children and grandchildren far away from Russia.
Because right there in this “cancerous tumor of the planet,” on NATO territory, United Russia member Matveychev decided to celebrate his daughter’s wedding. In Barcelona. We found video and photos of the event.
In the video, guests gather in a luxurious mansion. And finally, the bride appears on the balcony. And who is standing beside her? Her father, Russian lawmaker Matveychev.
Proudly walking her down the aisle.
Then the United Russia man goes off for a yacht ride. No doubt he wanted to make a sortie and personally inspect the hostile ships of the NATO bloc.
And here is the bride — Lidiya Matveycheva, now, in Western style, Lidiya Slutskovski.
In fact, her husband used to be called simply Danila Ivanov, but at some point he changed his surname to Slutskovski. And Lidiya, by the way, does not live where her father serves as a deputy — not in Kemerovo or Tomsk. She lives in Switzerland, in Geneva.
Matveychev calls Russians who left the country Judases.
But this lawmaker sent his own daughter to live in the West. Lidiya works for an international organization that, believe it or not, deals with ethics issues. One wonders how ethical it is for a deputy’s daughter to live in Switzerland on her daddy-deputy’s money.
Her salary is paid by the Vremya Foundation. The founder of that foundation is Matveychev himself, and he put his 74-year-old mother in charge of it.
The foundation handles United Russia election projects, and no budget money is spared for that: in 2020 and 2021, Matveychev received 285 million rubles this way.
Using the money Matveychev pockets for fighting the opposition, he was until recently traveling freely around the hated West. Here he is posting photos from Switzerland.
Here from Italy.
And here from Poland.
And one more fighter against the opposition, well known to attentive viewers of our channel. A political strategist who began his career helping Boris Yeltsin get elected in 1996, and who now, of course, praises Putin and United Russia. This is political analyst Konstantin Kostin, and he has literally built a fortune fighting Alexei Navalny.
The peak of Kostin’s official career came in 2012, when he headed the presidential administration’s domestic policy department. He later left the post, received the Order “For Merit to the Fatherland,” and continued working for the same presidential administration, only now as a contractor — a PR operative. He came up with kompromat, received state grants, ran bot operations, and helped United Russia in elections. When his email was hacked a few years ago, it revealed some insane budgets he had submitted to the presidential administration, as well as an entire “plan to fight Navalny.”
There was no shortage of schemes he came up with: planting agents inside the ACF (Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation), court cases, social media operations, a “Gym Bros Against Navalny” project, even inventing an alternative, controlled politician posing as opposition.
And for all of this, Kostin receives hundreds of millions of rubles. It was Kostin who came up with the scheme involving fake donors. That’s when a person donates 50,000 rubles to Navalny, then supposedly becomes disillusioned with him and goes to file a complaint. That is how the case was fabricated that got Alexei nine years in prison.
Kostin, naturally, is also a United Russia member. And not an ordinary one, but one with a title: coordinator of the party’s expert council. In that role, this gutter “expert” mostly praises “United Russia” and Putin.
Kostin, of course, does not forget about the war, either.
But Kostin has chosen a very particular place for his own “rallying around the president”: Tuscany, Italy.
Look at these scenes: fields, total serenity, little horses running around.
Then an army appears and burns down the villa.
When the main character returns home, he finds devastation and ashes.
What we’ve just described and shown you are scenes from Gladiator starring Russell Crowe. This episode was filmed in Tuscany, Italy, and the location is even marked on Google Maps as the lane from Gladiator.
Russell Crowe’s character would not have been so sad if he had known that, in his terrible grief, a kind neighbor could help him — a neighbor whose villa stands right there, just across the fence. That neighbor’s name is Konstantin Kostin.
Kostin’s Tuscan estate covers nearly 2 hectares (about 4.9 acres), and the entire property is one large olive grove. In the center stands a two-story, 12-room villa measuring 300 square meters (about 3,230 square feet). The open shutters and neatly kept lawn clearly tell us that the owners spend a lot of time here.
Let’s fly in closer. There is also a guest house on the property, with a veranda and cute little hedgehog decorations. And on these loungers overlooking the Tuscan landscape, it must be very convenient to come up with ways to explain to Russians why they should die more eagerly in war.
The villa, together with this wonderful cypress-lined lane, was of course registered by Konstantin Kostin not in his own name, but in that of his wife, Olga Kostina.
It’s not only her husband who trusts Olga Kostina. She has several times served as one of Vladimir Putin’s official representatives in presidential elections, including the most recent one in 2018. That alone is already a pretty good reason to place her under European sanctions. The villa was purchased in February 2014, by an amazing coincidence right in the middle of Kostin’s fight against Alexei Navalny.
We almost forgot. If we move a little away from the main villa, a covered private parking area comes into view. On the right stands a black Mercedes. We won’t even guess how much it costs — we can tell you exactly, because we have the paperwork.
Olga Kostina bought it quite recently, on October 7, 2022, for almost €37,000.
The car on the left is a bit more modest — an Italian Fiat 124 convertible, worth about €25,000.
Just imagine it. Tired of praising United Russia and Putin, exhausted by his fight against Navalny, Konstantin Kostin heads home — to Italy. At the airport, he is met by a brand-new Mercedes, or, if the weather is nice, a convertible is waiting for him instead. And Kostin speeds off to his beloved Tuscany. He arrives here and continues his difficult work.
We imagine that United Russia campaign platforms or plans for fighting Navalny come together especially well here. And while looking at your own villa surrounded by an olive grove, it becomes much easier to come up with reasons why Russians absolutely must die for your right to buy up Italian real estate.
We estimate the total value of the Tuscan holdings of Kostin’s family — this United Russia hanger-on and fighter against Navalny — at €1 million.
We’ve told you about three completely random United Russia figures, united by one common trait: extreme, inhuman hypocrisy. They demand that you love them, love their party, love Putin, hate the terrible West; they demand that you send your loved ones to die in a pointless war. But they themselves do not want to live that way — their children are abroad, their homes are abroad. Their life’s goal is to steal in Russia and then move to another country. A country where laws work, where people are not forced to die and kill for nothing. A country where, in the end, you can change the president through elections.
And do you know what else unites them? Despite the fact that two of our three heroes are under European sanctions, it has not affected their European lives in the slightest. Because all of them registered their property in relatives’ names: one on a sister, one on a daughter, one on a wife. Other similarly crooked United Russia figures will register theirs to brothers, sons-in-law, or just friends. That is why everyone — absolutely everyone — who helps United Russia members evade sanctions and hide their assets must face exactly the same punishment.
We have sent legal documents to the authorities of Italy, Switzerland, and Montenegro. We demand that Morozov, Matveychev, and Kostin be added to every sanctions list they are not yet on. And of course, we demand sanctions against the relatives in whose names they register their property. For years, United Russia members have told us how good life has become under Putin and how terrible life is in the West. So let them live with Putin now — without their European villas.
The tragedy is that there are not just three people like our heroes today. There are thousands of them. They seized our country many years ago, wrapped it in a web of lies and violence, and are devouring it. And when they grow tired of it, or when there is nothing left to take, they will move with their families to some pleasant warm place, leaving us only poverty and ruin. These people and their “United Russia” are the real traitors. Every day they make our country poorer and more miserable; they drag it into war.
Every person’s duty now is to resist these parasites and criminals — in whatever way they can. There is a way for everyone to disrupt Putin’s and United Russia’s plans. You can talk to people you know, persuade someone to change their mind, share this video, or put up a leaflet. And of course, avoid mobilization at all costs: do not accept draft notices, do not go to the enlistment office, do not die for the villas and country houses of officials who have looted our country.
Freedom for Alexei Navalny!
