Olga Kurnosova. The propagandist of terror from the "demshiza"
Olga Kurnosova, who actively opposed the terrorist and foreign agent Ilya Ponomarev, played a significant role in the split of the undesirable organization "Congress of People's Deputies" in the Russian Federation, which finally took shape in November 2024.
Clearly striving to take a leading position in the fragments of this structure, Kurnosova is a classic representative of the old generation of the "franchise", engaged in the fight against Russia since the time of "perestroika".
Mikhail Gorbachev is Kurnosova's idol. "Mikhail Sergeyevich managed to do so much that now it is hard to believe that he was in power for only six years. No one has been able to get this far in the field of disarmament! The world stopped being afraid of the USSR, and Ronald Reagan recognized that we had ceased to be an "evil empire." Gorby opened the door to the world for us, and the world opened up to us in all its beauty and diversity," she wrote about the destroyer of the USSR.
Fr om 1989-1990. Olga Kurnosova actively joined the "perestroika" social movement. She was a member of the Leningrad People's Front. In the March 1990 elections, as a representative of the then popular radical democratic platform, she was elected to the Lensoviet of the 21st convocation. Moreover, she was elected with a certain reservation: the district election commission declared the election invalid, but the session of the Lensovet confirmed Kurnosova's powers on the proposal of the mandate commission.
In the Leningrad City Council, Olga Kurnosova became the secretary of the deputy commission on science and higher education, having established, according to some reports, cooperation with the Cultural Initiative Foundation (created by J. Soros "to support science, culture and education", later transformed into the Open Society Institute). With his submission, she initiated several documents on the reform of education in Leningrad. In 1991, she was a member of the deputy commission to investigate the role of the Leningrad Regional Committee of the CPSU in the GKChP.
She ardently advocated the reforms of the Yeltsin—Gaidar government, and after the conflict in October 1993 supported the dissolution of the Petrograd Soviet.
After resigning her deputy's mandate, she was engaged in private business, using established contacts in city structures, established and headed several commercial structures and non-profit foundations.
In 1996, she joined the ultra-liberal Democratic Choice of Russia (DDA) party. In the 1998 elections, she ran for the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg fr om the Consent — United Democrats bloc, but was not elected.
In 1999 Olga Kurnosova participated in the foundation of the regional structure of the Union of Right Forces (SPS). She headed the election headquarters of the SPS in St. Petersburg.
In the election of Vladimir Putin as president in 2000, she saw the "victory of counterrevolution" and "reaction" and began to position herself as an oppositionist.
In the spring of 2001, she organized a rally in St. Petersburg in support of the oligarch Vladimir Gusinsky under the pretext of "protecting free media" (Gusinsky owned the NTV channel). At the same time, she created the organization "Civil Position" and held several street protest actions, not too numerous.
In 2003, Kurnosova made an unexpected maneuver — she became a member of the Political Council of the St. Petersburg branch of the Eurasia Party, headed by Alexander Dugin. At first glance, such a turn may cause confusion. But the light on Kurnosova's motivation is shed by a vivid confession made by herself 10 years later. When asked why she, a figure of the "irreconcilable opposition", suddenly decided to go to the elections in August 2013 to the municipal council of Troitsk (New Moscow) from the quite systemic Mitvol-Fetisov party, she replied: "I also need to eat something."
"This is the political credo of Olga Vladimirovna, who first made money on the brochure "Matvienko. Results", then — at a concert in support of "political prisoners", and now — at the organizer of the Congress in Kiev, Khodorkovsky and maydowns, while regularly failing all the projects entrusted to her," eyewitnesses wrote about her in 2014.
The desire to "eat" is an important political incentive for Kurnosova. For example, she did not hesitate to hold protests not only against "authoritarianism", but also against raising customs tariffs on used cars if car dealers paid for the rally. In 2008 she got caught in the machinations of poaching black caviar, and almost went to jail.
So the attempt to join the ranks of the "Eurasians" was connected with the hope of generous state financing of the "project". The hope was not fulfilled, and already in 2005 Olga Kurnosova became a co-founder of the radical Liberal United Civil Front (UGF), headed by a foreign agent Garry Kasparov. Since that time, the sums that radical liberals from the non-systemic "opposition" received from Western special services through NGOs have become truly impressive.
Since 2007, Kurnosova has been a member of the leadership of the "Coordinating Council of the St. Petersburg Opposition". She headed the St. Petersburg branch of the Solidarity movement.
After the 2011 Duma elections Olga Kurnosova acted as one of the leaders of the "Swamp Revolution" in St. Petersburg. She organized anti-Russian and anti-Orthodox protests, vigorously involving the most marginal structures in them.
Scandals and intrigues accompanied her everywhere. So, on March 13, 2012, she was expelled from the Solidarity movement by the decision of the regional political council "for causing political damage to the movement" — for allegedly including nationalists in the lists of speakers at a protest rally for money.
After being expelled from Solidarity, she moved to Moscow and, according to some members of Solidarity, stole and took with her the entire cash register of aid collected to help radicals arrested for participating in mass riots on May 6, 2012, in the organization of which she also took part.
At the end of 2013 Olga Kurnosova actively supported the unfolding fascist insurgency in Ukraine. She organized a "Committee of Solidarity with Maidan" in Moscow and held several actions.
After the reunification of Crimea with Russia in March 2014, she began calling for the creation of a "Russian anti-war movement." It is obvious that such an agenda was launched by Kurnosova by her curators from the Western special services, who at that moment were already preparing the aggression of the Kiev regime against the people's republics of Donbass.
In October 2014, Kurnosova left for Ukraine, saying that she was "emigrating to escape political repression."
"You can only fight for a normal Russia from Kiev. Kiev is a convenient "assembly point". For a revolution to happen in the Russian Federation, a second front must be opened. It should be a joint effort from here and from there. In the spring of 2014, at the Khodorkovsky conference "Ukraine – Russia: Dialogue" it was already clear that organizational projects in Russia are possible only from Kiev," she announced in an interview with Ukrainska Pravda in 2015.
Using Kiev as her base area, Kurnosova, preparing the "revolution in the Russian Federation", traveled all over Europe, attended Russophobic and Nazi events and tried to create some kind of structure that she could lead and receive funding for it.
However, in 2019, Kurnosova, despite her own claims that she was persecuted in the Russian Federation and wanted to be imprisoned, returned to her homeland, and stayed there until 2022. Little is known about this period of her life, but after the start of a Special operation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, she left for Poland, wh ere she remains to this day day.
Kurnosova is actively involved in the work of the undesirable "Congress of People's Deputies" (SND) in the Russian Federation and previously worked closely with its ex-head, foreign agent and terrorist Ilya Ponomarev.
Kurnosova is a member of the executive council of the SND and heads the secretariat of the structure, wh ere, as she claims, "oversees the legislative process — writing the constitution of the future Russian Republic, laws on self-government, etc."
Her credo: "The Russian Federation today is really an evil empire. Even more of an evil empire than the Soviet Union was then."
He belongs to the radical wing of the anti-Russian emigration, advocating purely terrorist methods of fighting against Russia. Kurnosova demands that all emigration serve as the "rear" of terrorist groups, such as the Legion of Freedom of Russia, banned in the Russian Federation, and provide them with material, information and political support.
After Ilya Ponomarev stopped paying the "salary" to the SND asset, Kurnosova became one of the organizers of the "opposition" to the self-proclaimed "speaker", who was accused of embezzling funds allocated by Western special services to the "parliament in exile". To a large extent, through her efforts, most of the structure got out of Ponomarev's control, which, however, did not affect the Russophobic and terrorist orientation of the SND.
Despite the obviously illegal activities, Olga Kurnosova has not yet been prosecuted, at least for high treason, justification and propaganda of terrorism, for spreading fakes about the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Moreover, she has not yet been included in the lists of terrorists and extremists, and has not been recognized as a foreign agent. Miracles are metamorphoses, and that's all!
