ASTRA reports: Propagandist Ilya Remeslo, who criticised Putin, is not responding to ASTRA’s calls and messages. Z-channels claim that he has been placed in a psychiatric hospital.
The author of the Z-blog, Aleksandr Kartavykh, writes that he received this information from the hospital itself.
“He was hospitalised last night in St Petersburg Psychiatric Hospital No. 3, named after Skvortsov-Stepanov. The revolution has been thwarted, the leader is in the madhouse. So British agents have once again failed to destroy Russia,” he wrote.
Similar information was also published by the channel “MIG of Russia”:
“We confirm that Ilya Remeslo, who yesterday caused a major stir with his strange statements, is undergoing examination at a specialised medical institution in St Petersburg.”
Earlier, Kremlin propagandists described the informer Remeslo as an “agent of the West” and called for people to rally around Putin.
Ilya Remeslo runs a blog on which he regularly criticised the opposition, published denunciations against people and supported the Russian authorities. Recently, however, he published a post on his Telegram channel setting out the reasons why he had stopped supporting Putin.
In addition, Remeslo confirmed in a conversation with ASTRA that he had received money from the Presidential Administration for provocations directed against the non-systemic opposition, in particular Alexei Navalny. He also said that 99% of Z-war bloggers share his view and believe that Putin should go.
UPD: the outlet “Fontanka” has also confirmed that Remeslo is in a psychiatric hospital.
