This is hardly just Putin. I knew Jewish emigrees from the Cold War who beiieved the same thing.

"Appearance with guilt." Runet reads "manifesto of Russian fascism" | RFERL |

Igor Gretsky:

Let me remind you, this is the same political technologist who for many years selflessly worked on pro-Kremlin projects like Prokhorov or Yanukovych. Since the early 2000s, he has voiced Putin's already familiar theses about Ukraine: its "external governance," its "civil war"; about hints at the consequences of decommunization and de-Sovietization in the form of loss of territories, etc. He also pushed the idea of Ukraine as an "instrument of shock to Russia." After the Orange Revolution, he predicted a "lemon revolution" led by Yulia Tymoshenko, which was supposed to make Ukraine a "completely puppet state."

And now about the article itself. It is absolutely cannibalistic. Following in the footsteps of the Italian fascists and the German Nazis, the author justifies national violence. The text essentially justifies the genocide of Ukrainians. But the article is not just about Ukraine. There is an equal sign between Nazism and Europeanization. Consequently, the search for "Nazis" will be not only in Ukraine, but in Russia as well. That is, Russians who considered the European path of development possible for their country will be forced to "part with their pro-European illusions."

Vadim Fulmacht:

In 1999, I had the opportunity to listen to Timofey Sergeytsev's speeches at Artek [Арте́к],  where I was briefly involved as a young man as part of the Street Television project (this was a preparation for Kuchma's election campaign, which I did not yet know about). Sergeytsev spoke very brightly. Dmitry Kulikov, if I'm not mistaken, was also there. These are not some half-witted fanatics like [Alexandre] Dugin and [Sergei] Glazyev, but real intellectuals, very erudite.

Sergeytsev and Co. are professional political technologists, absolutely cynical. However, as shown by the results of their wards in the elections in Ukraine (for example, the result of Yatsenyuk in 2009), they are not able to influence the voter, but are well able to enchant the customer. Hence the obvious conclusion: Sergeytsev's manifesto reflects the main customer's ideas about beauty (in the opinion of Timothy). I do not rule out that this customer has not yet made a choice and has not provided a budget, so Sergeytsev's text is something like a "test task".

Dmitry Shusharin:

Timofey Sergeytsev's article is useful in its own way, both for its frankness and the author's belonging to a fraudulent and fascist - yes, this combination - subculture associated with the names of father and son Shchedrovitsky. The younger one has been training Sergei Kirienko for more than twenty years, which is very significant.

Ukraine MP election: Removing Oligarchs ... Some

The Rise And Fall (And Rise?) Of Arseniy Yatsenyuk | ECFR - Oct 19, 2009 |

Yatsenyuk was suddenly no longer omnipresent on the Inter TV channel then close to Firtash. Pinchuk became the more important sponsor, and replaced Yatsenyuk's Ukrainian team with Russian-connected "political technologists:" Timofei Sergeitsev, Dmitry Kulikov, and Iskander Valitov.

As well as working for Yanukovych's controversial campaign in 2004, the new Russian team came from the Duma Expert Council under Konstantin Zatulin. It is headed by Sergei Markov and notorious for its attempts to set up Russia-friendly NGOs and politicians throughout the CIS. If Russia cannot control or confront Ukraine directly, it has an interest in helping to build up a "satellite ideology."

The new team pushed a version of a Russian "third way" ideology, which stretches from the nationalist right to earlier campaigns for the Union of Rightist Forces and Anatoly Chubais's infamous "liberal imperialism." It combines business-friendly policies with attacks on the bankruptcy of the West and Western liberalism, the consequent degradation of structures based on them like the EU, and the rise of an alternative pole centered around Russia in the east.

'Greater Europe'

Yatsenyuk shifted from his plague-on-both-your-houses rhetoric and so-called "New Ukrainian Pragmatism" to something more like a new Ukrainian isolationism, suddenly repositioning himself as the Sinn Féin ("Ourselves Alone") candidate and lambasting the EU and everything non-Ukrainian. His campaign slogans - "Productive Village," "A Battle-Ready Army," and "New Industrialization" - suddenly sent a different message, one that also sounded more like "feed and support Russia."

Ukraine Caught Between East and West, Red and Blue | by Oui Thu Oct 3rd, 2019 |

• RIA is state-controlled but is not an official communication of the Russian government.
  
• Nevertheless, everything published there is "acceptable by the State", even though not "official" discourse.
  
• Russian prime time national TV shows are choke full of "freaks calling for murder, genocide, nuclear war. This has been the case for years. Leaving ordinary Russians unmoved." (I've seen some sample of this: armchair warriors casually discussing annexation of the Baltics, carving out Poland and nuclear bombing of Germany. Fox News looks like a Sunday church picnic in comparison)
  
• Timofei Sergueitsev doesn't have any official position (free electron), but it shows "the idea of the necessary extermination of Ukrainians is growing within Russian society." It's not impossible this discourse might be adopted by the Russian leadership at some point.
  
• No official policy yet, but setting the stage.
