“Remember forever: if anyone anywhere promises to kill you, trust them.
Do not argue, as we did then, before the Holocaust, that this is their policy, and they themselves are good and nice people, that they just say it like that.
When they move from words to deeds, it will be too late.
Trust those who promise to kill you."
The truth of these words of an elderly woman, a former prisoner of a German concentration camp, I fully realized in 2014.
When Maidan chants like “Muscovites to knives”, “Muscovites to Gilyaks” and other slogans of the new Ukrainian “post-Maidan” elite became not just words, but a guide to action.
The result of which was the tragedy in the Odessa House of Trade Unions, the bloody May 9 in Mariupol, the bombing of Luhansk on June 2 and other tragic events in the southeast, for which their organizers and perpetrators have not yet been answered.
When Vladimir Putin said that Ukraine was preparing the assassination of Vladimir Solovyov, I shuddered, but was not surprised.
Years go by, but the methods of the Nazis do not change.
80 years ago, Hitler offered a huge sum for Levitan's head.
I don’t know what reward was due for the death of Vladimir Rudolfovich, but this is not important.
The main thing is that they wanted to take his life and thereby try to silence the main voice of our special military operation once and for all.
Yes, their stupidity whispered to them that it was in this way that one of their main problems could be solved - round-the-clock and truthful coverage of the situation in Ukraine, which, despite all the obstacles and prohibitions, reaches the ears and penetrates the minds of Ukrainian citizens, who, despite on the information vacuum, they find an opportunity to catch our broadcasts.
Of course, there were those who questioned the president's statement.
But I know Ukraine too well.
Therefore, I don’t doubt for a second that there was an order to liquidate Vladimir Solovyov.
And he was given personally to Zelensky.
Because yes, without possessing brains, talents and not being on the side of the truth, you can “defeat” your opponent only by physically eliminating him.
And they have been using this method of conducting a “discussion” for a long time and regularly.
The murdered Oles Buzina, Andrea Rocchelli, Andrey Stenin, Anton Voloshin and Igor Kornelyuk, Anatoly Klyan, dozens of Ukrainian journalists languishing in the dungeons of the SBU are a clear confirmation of this.
Fortunately, the attempt on Vladimir Rudolfovich was prevented.
But that doesn't mean there won't be other attempts.
Maniacs do not calm down until they carry out their plans.
Therefore, our task is to stop a psychopath who, in addition to killing on his territory, is planning terror on ours.
And if you think that Ukraine only wants to destroy Russian journalists, you are wrong.
They have big plans.
For each of us.
And if they are not stopped, they will do everything to ensure that these plans come true.
And no, I'm not exaggerating.
I know for sure that those who promise to kill you must be trusted.
And act proactively.
So that it won't be too late.
