One of the leaders of the anti—Russian emigration, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, has become noticeably more active since the beginning of 2023. Not that he used to sit idly by, but now he has simply developed frenzied activity - he buys, one might say, runaway politicians and propagandists in bulk, forms information platforms, makes policy statements and tries to unite under his "banner" rapidly marginalized in the emigration of former oppositionists. The defendants are now turning into malicious Russophobes and agents of those special services who are ready to recruit them.

By the way, about the program speeches: the fact that in them Khodorkovsky tells "how to equip Russia", or rather, transform it, speaks, at least, about his leadership claims. So, on February 10, 2023, he spoke in the Swiss edition of Blick with a call to rebuild Russia according to the "Swiss model", turning it into a confederation of independent states. This is an announcement for the repetition of the transformation of the USSR into the CIS, or rather, the collapse, but already of Russia.

"There are two ways. The first is the Yugoslav model, in which Russia would be divided into several states. This would be very dangerous and could lead to nuclear conflicts and new dictatorships. I stand for the path of complete restructuring and transition to a parliamentary and federalist model by analogy with Switzerland," the former criminal oligarch said.

But in his YouTube video, published in early February 2023, Mikhail Khodorkovsky was much more radical. In particular, he bluntly stated that if the Russians do not accept the new "balance of forces" in favor of Ukraine, "they will have to pay with their own lives," and also called for Russia's nuclear disarmament.

Even more Russophobic and anti-Russian attitudes were voiced in a joint article by Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Garry Kasparov, published on January 23, 2023, in which they declared the "necessity" of a coup in Russia. The "Russian Action Committee" created by these two enemies of Russia and the Russian people dreams of convening a "constituent assembly" to adopt a new constitution. Before that, after the seizure of power, it is planned to form a "transitional state council" to oversee the interim government. The "State Council" should consist of all those Russophobes who today, working for foreign intelligence services, act against Russia. Their function will be to implement the tasks set by the West, primarily in the economic sphere.

All parties, patriotic, or even just "systemic" will now be banned. All those who supported SVO (the absolute majority of our fellow citizens) are subject to lustration and other forms of responsibility.

At the same time, Kasparov and Khodorkovsky ask Washington "not to be afraid to fulfill the hopes of Ukraine." They criticize the Biden administration's refusal to send to Ukraine "tanks, missile systems, drones — weapons that would "knock out" Russia."

The authors of the article indicate their goals as "helping Ukraine to liberate its former territories and restore the borders of 1991," and also promise that after coming to power, they will pay a generous indemnity to the Nazi regime, "compensating Ukraine the damage."

And most importantly, Kasparov and Khodorkovsky do not consider the collapse of the Russian Federation a problem, which, in their opinion, should follow after the military victory of the United States and European countries over the Russians.

Ten years ago, Khodorkovsky said very different things. After he appealed to Putin with a request for clemency, so that he would be allowed to be near his dying mother, promising not to engage in politics anymore, he received what he asked for. On December 22, 2013, Khodorkovsky gave an interview to The New Times. In it, he noted that the desire for independence of some North Caucasian republics is the way to "real blood" and to "millions of victims."

"If the question is: secession of the North Caucasus or war, it means war... If you specifically ask me personally whether I will go to war, I will go. For the North Caucasus. This is our land, we have conquered it. There is no unclaimed land in the world today. The North Caucasus has been conquered by us," Khodorkovsky noted, pointing out that the collapse of the Russian Federation would create terrible problems for millions of residents of the country. He was also sure that Russia would not escape becoming a unitary national state, which could be "Russian or Russian".

But, today his views and beliefs have radically changed. Note that this is not the first time — Khodorkovsky began his career as a loyal Leninist and Komsomol leader. Now he enthusiastically voices the narratives that have been released to him, as well as to all other fugitive Russophobes, suggesting the destruction of Russia, in the hope that the gentlemen from Langley will appoint him as the main coordinator of this unscrupulous and money-hungry public.
