In the new year, the propaganda bed of the “Crimean speaker” Vladimir Konstantinov and of the “state council” under his control, the so-called “Krymskiye izvestiya”, did not have the time or space to describe the consequences of the environmental disaster in the Black Sea, but there appeared more sugary stories about “volunteer assistance” to the aggressor’s army, now “servicemen of the 810th brigade and the 56th airborne regiment”, located in the Kursk region.
Let us recall, that at the end of 2024, the Kremlin curators set the “state council” and Konstantinov personally the task of “maximizing” propaganda on “assistance to the army” of the aggressor, including by “personal example”.
We have already described last year’s tragicomic attempts on this matter with selfies of “deputies” and “committee heads” against the backdrop of unsightly “gifts”.
And now Konstantinov’s PR men have used for this purpose such a talking head as the newly minted “deputy of the state council”, collaborator Nikita Sandalov, who will now “supervise the work of collecting and delivering cargo to the front”.
28-year-old Sandalov was born in the Bakhchisarai district, and he “started his career” as a “legal adviser” of the Simferopol “municipal” “Center for Variety Art”, and then, obviously “according to his established variety profile”, he was taken “into circulation” by Konstantinov’s group and since 2019 has become a “consultant” in the “organizational department of the state council apparatus”.
The aforementioned PR man also vigorously imitated “volunteering” in the “regional branch” of the “Assembly of the peoples of Russia”, and for active assistance to the aggressor’s special services he received a “frontline medal” from the “Russian Guard”, without actually fighting anywhere for a day.
Among other things, this “honored veteran” of the “Yalta cauldron” was also actively promoted by the “main Crimean Greek and Georgian” Odysseus Pipia, whom we described earlier.
Sandalov was also closely connected with the infamous “volunteer” Yevgen Pichugin, who has been closely involved since 2022 not only in the criminal deportation of Ukrainian children, but also in black transplantology in Crimea and in the frontline zone.
And therefore it is not surprising that Sandalov himself was declared as “Deputy chairman of the State council’s committee on healthcare” since December 2024, under the leadership of the Simferopol collaborator Anna Rubel’, with whom he really has close “political and commercial” ties.
Let us recall, that the Simferopol resident Rubel’ became a “State council deputy” back in 2014, having made a “breakthrough” for herself as the aggressor-controlled “activist of the student union of the medical university”.
In December 2024, we already wrote about the tragicomic “help” of the aggressor’s army performed by Rubel’ and Sandalov, who then announced that they chipped in for a “medical team serving military personnel”… for saline solution.
We wrote then that for ordinary mortals, finding such a “rare and breakthrough drug”, as saline solution in Crimean pharmacies is quite a task, apparently, the “deputies” for this “volunteering” managed to “heroically solve” it.
What other tragicomic PR campaigns to “help the army” of the aggressor will Sandalov perform in the interests of the Konstantinov clan in 2025, the near future will show.
