On May 25, the head of the “LDPR” faction in the Russia’s State Duma, Leonid Slutsky, criminally arrived in occupied Sevastopol, not only in the role of a “welcome guest” for the fake “governor” Mikhail Razvozhaev, but also as the main “talking head” for the local “media”, and as for at least two days of “broadcasts and reports”.
Previously, Slutsky periodically “visited Razvozhaev,” but the current visit is distinguished by just propaganda hype, and without an obvious reason – they shouldn’t count the promise of a “monument to Zhirinovsky” in the very place where the occupiers had previously promised a “monument to Potemkin”.
Of course, all this deliberate fuss of Slutsky also takes place under the formal omophorion of “preparation for local autumn elections”.
Taking into account the fact that it was “presidential candidate Slutsky” who was given “an honorable last place” in Sevastopol in March, and in the group “photos against the backdrop of Razvozhaev” there was generally no place for the local three “legislative assembly deputies from Zhirinovsky” like Ilya Zhuravylev, this very question is clearly not so painful for the “chief liberal democrat”.
Most likely, his role as a “funny opposition” in occupied Sevastopol, unlike in Crimea, “is allowed to be preserved.”
Let us recall that on the “main” peninsula the cause of “party disasters” was a deep personal conflict between two old womanizers, Slutsky and Vladimir Konstantinov, which arose on the basis of last year’s categorical refusal of the “Crimean speaker” to give the “Crimean district for the Duma” to Slutsky’s protégé, terrorist Viktor Bout.
And the current public promenades of Slutsky and Razvozhaev are not so much and not only about washing the bones of their common “worst friends” from Simferopol.
They are indeed connected with the “autumn elections”, but not with their already approximately clear “results,” but with their real consequences.
It is no secret that Razvozhaev has long been striving to “convert” to Moscow, returning to a major federal position, which was previously promised to him “after the end of the war”.
Since no “end” is in sight, and Razvozhaev clearly does not want to “sit in Sevastopol until retirement,” his current “gambit” consists of “promotion” after obviously “even results on the ground” this fall. For a number of reasons, Slutsky is considered by Razvozhaev as one of the key contractors in his future career; however, we still need to at least survive until autumn.
