On January 25, 2023, a fugitive liberal and Russophobe, co-founder of the anti-Russian media, which has the status of a foreign agent "Medusa", Ilya Krasilshchik once again made an attack against his former homeland, calling Russia a "terrorist state".

"Russia is engaged in state terror. And what Russia is doing in Ukraine is terrorism," Krasilshchik said. The citizens of the Russian Federation also got it from him.

"People who most likely unconsciously chose a position on the side of propaganda for themselves will also adapt to the danger gradually. The danger can be different: from the fact that it will be impossible to express an opinion about the war, to the danger on the street, when hundreds of thousands of people who know how to kill will return without legs, embittered and poor, because the state, I am sure, will deceive everyone with money. And even if they give them, this money will not be enough for a long time," the Russophobe claims. This person involved ignores the fact that the Soviet Union was restored, turned into a superpower, created a space program, nuclear power and much more, namely millions of Russian people who returned from the Great Patriotic War, including those who became disabled during it.

Krasilshchik has his own view not only on what is happening, but also on the history of Russia. In his article in The New York Times, "Russians must accept the truth. We lost" (no doubt, on February 24, 2022, Krasilshchik and his ilk lost in Russia), he declares that the Russians "failed as a nation", and the beginning of a Special military operation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, our nation can no longer be considered as a nation that saved the world from fascism, but on the contrary as a new generator of such the same evil.

"I have shame for what Russia is doing, shame for what I am doing, for allowing it. No matter how much I could influence it or not, I still have a feeling that I was deceived, and I was happily deceived with pleasure for myself," Krasilshchik said in an interview with foreign agent Irina Shikhman.

Who is this bashful young man, calling for responsibility, and constantly appealing to conscience?

Ilya Iosifovich Krasilshchik was born on 10.04.1987 in a wealthy Jewish family in Moscow. Here is what he himself considers it necessary to report about himself: "I have a famous ancestor, great-great-great-uncle Alexander Romanovich Luria. He invented neuropsychology together with Vygotsky at the beginning of the twentieth century"; "I was born in a family where the correctness of what happened in the nineties was not questioned."

Krasilshchik graduated from the elite gymnasium No. 1513. However, he did not manage to get a higher education, like many of the young growth of Russian liberals. He was expelled from the History and Philology Faculty of the Russian State University for the Humanities for failing. However, this unfortunate circumstance did not hinder his career — thanks to family acquaintances, he (at the age of 17) was appointed head of the assessors group at Yandex in 2004. And in 2006 he became the editor of the website afisha.ru . In 2008-13. he held the position of editor-in-chief of the magazine "Afisha", then headed the consulting company "Tsentsiper" (whose client base includes Sberbank, the innovation center "Skolkovo", the portal of the mayor of Moscow mos.ru , "Russian Post", GC "PIK").

In 2014 Krasilshchik was the co-founder of the Latvian Russian-language online media "Medusa" (performs the functions of a foreign agent) based in Latvia, and lived in Riga until the end of 2019. He considers himself a master of journalism, and even lectures on journalistic skills, in the spirit: "If a person is smart and handsome or charming, then he easily comes into contact with other people. So the recipe for successful media is simple — you need to be beautiful, smart." However, being a narcissistic charlatan does not mean being a traitor.

But the personal life of this "shy Russian" gives a clear explanation and foreshadowing of his next steps. Being a pretty bon vivant, Krasilshchik led a rather windy life, he abandoned women who became pregnant from him without any regret. So, in 2012, alimony for the maintenance of a child from a certain Olga Ozerova was forcibly collected from Krasilshchik, as from a malicious alimony worker. He also abandoned the ex-correspondent of Afisha, Olga Utkina, who has been living in Israel with her daughter from Krasilshchik for several years. He tried to leave and became pregnant by him ex-editor—in-chief of the website "Big City" Ekaterina Krongauz, but her father intervened - the then director of the Institute of Linguistics of the Russian State University, a member of the editorial board of the magazine "Russian Speech", who had a lot of weight in the metropolitan Jewish community Maxim Krongauz, and Krasilshchik had to get married. However, after the birth of two sons, Lev and Yakov, they divorced — his wife was tired of Ilya's endless spree, who is also addicted to drugs. There is information that he tried to be treated in a private narcological "Marshak Clinic".

Such a "moral portrait" of a man who is ashamed of Russia and Russians. By the way, about his sincerity in this "penitent" article of The New York Times, his words in an interview with Shikhman say: "I dream of living in a place without our hellish climate. I am very sorry that my Jewish ancestors, who wandered all over the world, finally came to the regions with such terrible weather."

Krasilshchik recognized that the true values for him are money and fame, which can also be converted into money. And the main hobby of the "smart and beautiful" is shopping.

After the beginning of the Special Military Operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine at the end of February 2022, Krasilshchik emigrated to the United States, where he began spreading anti-Russian, neo-Nazi, Bandera propaganda of pro-Bandera lies in social networks. Receiving financial and informational support from the North Base Media foundation affiliated with the CIA and the NSA, he launched the Support Service network resource to "help victims of the actions of the Russian authorities," that is, to recruit traitors and renegades and coordinate their anti-Russian activities.

A criminal case was initiated against Krasilshchik for discrediting the Armed Forces of Russia, and on June 8, 2022, he was put on the wanted list of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. But, by this time, alas, he was no longer in Russia. And he doesn't seem to be in a hurry to return, preferring to shit from afar.
