Sobchak is alive or how Putin saved his goddaughter and family friend

Goddaughter and notarized oppositionist Ksyusha Sobchak fled the Russian Federation.  One could simply feel sorry for the fact that the favorite of a large female audience was finally delegitimized. However, this sudden escape is a harbinger of serious processes in Russia – where everything must go strictly with the party line and there is no place even for decorative opposition

The video of Ksyusha crossing Belarusian-Lithuanian border with an Israeli passport was shown half an hour later in excellent quality, image and sound by state Russian mass media. Which shows that "a camera, a motor and a recording" were waiting for her there. On the one hand, it seems that this is the story of a First Channel propagandist Marina Ovsyannikova, but in a new way. However, for her five minutes of fame in the West, Marina drew a poster and stood with it behind the presenter Katerina Andreeva for 15 seconds.  Sobchak is about extortion and blackmail. Not a good resume for trying to pretend being opposition journalist and get an internship at Die Welt.

We definitely do not have to feel sorry for Sobchak. This is the flesh and blood of Putin’s regime, its flower and its fruit - perfect product of the period when Putin and his henchman Medvedev wanted to pose as friends in the West.

On February 4, Ksenia Sobchak appeared on Ukrainian 1+1 TV channel broadcast wearing red lipstick and viburnum on her ears. Emotional background of Ukrainians a few days before the invasion simply went off the scale — an increasing percentage of citizens in all polls were ready to repel captured Donbas, annexed Crimea, and kick Russians asses. But Ukrainians were offered to listen to a compromise regarding Crimea. And the statement that neither Putin nor any future president can return the stolen peninsula.  "Abandoning it will be considered an extremely unpopular measure, such a political suicide for any president, not only for Putin", Ksyusha said.

During the first days of Russian invasion, Sobchak posted fakes from Kadyrov in the style of "they took National Guard in full force" and "peasants in Chernihiv region are kneeling in front of Russian tanks." All Sobchak social network sources were peppered with statements that Zelenskyy is a puppet and Russian occupying forces just quietly came to replace him. You just don't have to resist. And on the YouTube channel, which was watched by all manicurists and Vedic feminine women, there were more and more episodes about sufferings of Russian refugees in Georgia and Armenia.  Everything emphasized their pain - absence of makeup and dirty hair. For a greater trigger, she released an interview with imperialist Rosenbaum titled: "I would sing to wounded Ukrainian soldiers".

Sobchak case is the removal of any taboo on repression against Putin's closest and dearest persons by himself. It is unlikely that stories about the special relationship with "Uncle Vova" were pure Sobchak's self-promotion. And it is unlikely that in Russia you can come and simply register as a presidential candidate. Ksenia was allowed to do this - because a woman, like a liberal journalist and a more or less recognizable face in Russia - allowed to make a picture of Russian democracy for export.

Putin's address at Valdai with another statement that "only Russia can be the real guarantee of Ukrainian sovereignty", because Russia "created" Ukraine, assures that Moscow continues not to accept thoughts of military defeat. Ukraine cannot slap Russia. And that's why there was also a call to the USA to "just press on Kyiv." However, there are also difficulties with this - because the USA does not believe any of Putin's statements. And quick placement of new nuclear bombs by Americans in Europe due to Putin's constant threats is therefore a vivid statement.

It becomes really difficult to sell Russian people the idea of ​​why it is already October and Donbas still has not been taken. Why don't they want Russia in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa and even in Kherson, everything is really difficult. Russian people want blood. They want to shout with their tsar "Huzzah!"  and that is why in today's Russia they will increasingly look for those who do not contribute enough to the victory.

Ksyusha Sobchak was swept away like dung from the threshold because she wanted too much to be special, liberal and simply forgot who her Pygmalion was. Who essentially became her father, mentor and sponsor of her long-term creativity. Not even the detailed instructions from lawyers on her YouTube on how to properly mobilize did not help. Nor advertising rallies for "reunification with the Russian Federation of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions."

All her creative life, the blonde Ksyusha emphasized that for all the democracy in Russia, shopping in Milan and handbags from Parisian fashion houses are much more expensive for her. Putin gave his goddaughter a chance to escape to the West, albeit with a bribery-soaked reputation.

Although now, the role of Ksyusha Sobchak has finally become clear - black PR and commissioned materials for everyone who was an enemy of Putin. Ridicule and media oppression of everyone who even lightly raised the question that Russia is going somewhere wrong. Ksenia was given life only because of close blood ties, otherwise she would have met the fate of Stalin's entourage.

The best thing that Ukrainians can do now is to break away from Sobchak forever and put a block on her. So that no guest editor would be tempted to call Ksenia for a conversation, as it was at the beginning of February, to ask if Crimea is Ukrainian or Russian.

This week, Sobchak's best friend, propagandist Anton Krasovskyi, advised drowning Ukrainian children who might stutter that "Russians occupied Ukraine."  And at this moment we understood what we have done wrong.

In December 2013, Sobchak and Krasovskyi put on theatrical Ukrainian costumes and went to establish a fraternal dialogue at the headquarters of the Maidan - Kyiv City Council. Two propagandists had a hard time about Bandera's poster and asked if everything was fine with us, since we were heroizing him.

Unfortunately, Ukrainian society at that time did not yet know elementary rules of hygiene - that guano is not invited home. Moreover, after any contact with it, you should wash your hands thoroughly with soap. It was the moment when Ksyusha Sobchak gained great popularity in Ukraine. And then she used it to talk about peace, brotherhood, to promote Poklonska and to declare that Crimea is Russian, because we seized it, and it is not right to give it back. Therefore, Sobchak must suffer. And although she is cunning enough not to be in The Hague, she was the one who was actively throwing more logs on the fire. Which forever changed the fate of millions of Ukrainians.
