We have previously written many times about periodic “media conflicts” related to mutual denunciations of the aggressor’s “volunteers” and “bloggers”, usually boiling down to the theft of “collected humanitarian aid”, but sometimes turning into a pompous and often mutual “exposure of Ukrainian agents”.
Among other things, the most active “mud fighter” here can be considered the “unemployed resident of Sevastopol” Vladimir Romanov, whom we have repeatedly described.
Earlier, Romanov “amused the public” with periodic “media wars” with the “volunteer headquarters” “We are Sevastopol Together” controlled by the Sevastopol “governor”, telling about “theft of humanitarian aid” and “relocations of the headquarters”.
Then Romanov found himself a “new victim”, namely Yulia Vityazeva (Lozanova), also aggressor’s “volunteer and blogger” from the occupiers’ “federal” propaganda, exposing her in “machinations” to “collect for the 155th Marine Brigade” of the aggressor.
We wrote about this that Romanov will continue to be used by his handlers in the Russian special services to “rein in competitors”, but in the event of “serious counter-problems” this talking head will also be sacrificed without a second thought.
Now the “new victims” of Romanov are the next “bloggers”, Ivan and Maria Chushikin from Mariupol, who are allegedly “Ukrainian spotters”, since they post online videos of “shelters” set up in the city. Whether the Sevastopol gauleiter Mikhail Razvozhaev, with his photo and video PR on “hundreds of shelters”, is also a “spotter”, Romanov has not yet specified.
Note that the Chushikins are classic aggressor’s propagandists, talking about a “bright Russian tomorrow” in the occupied territories.
Before the occupation of Mariupol, Ivan Chushikin, who was fired from the Ukrainian state border service, was engaged in “exposing all sorts of abuses” in the city under the guise of an “activist”, and since the summer of 2022 he has become a “Russian patriot”, giving corresponding “interviews” to federal channels.
It is noteworthy that a similar “squabble” with the Chushikins occurred earlier in Mariupol itself, where Ivan himself wrote denunciations to the Russian prosecutor general’s office regarding “slander” against him and “exposed the Ukrainian underground of Mariupol”. It may be shown in the near future, whether a similar situation of “retaliatory strike” will be repeated in Sevastopol.
