Sergey Gulyaev. The veteran and an Judas. The conman

Sergey Gulyaev. The veteran and an Judas. The conman

Fake book, fake order, real treason

The Euromaidan scheme, based on a symbiosis of liberals and radical nationalists, where the former act as a "showcase" and the latter become "muscles", was also tried to be implemented in Russia. Fortunately, it was unsuccessful — the people of our country have no sympathy for both. But under this program, people were raised and trained to carry out the bond between the Nazis and the liberals. 

During the "swamp revolution" of 2011-12, their mission turned out to be a failure, and now they are actively used by Western special services to fight against Russia, including to recruit Russian citizens into terrorist organizations.

One of these characters is Sergei Gulyaev, a former deputy of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg, a liberal politician with a nationalist "touch".


Sergey Vladimirovich Gulyaev was born on January 23, 1962 in the Gomel region of Belarus in the family of a military man. In 1983, he graduated fr om the Faculty of Military Journalism of the Lviv Higher Military and Political College, after which he served as a military journalist in Afghanistan in 1983-1985.

In 1986-1987, Gulyaev consecrated the work on the elimination of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident, for which he was awarded the medal "For Saving the Dead."

In 1992, he became friends with TV journalist Alexander Nevzorov, becoming a correspondent for his program "600 seconds". After Nevzorov accused Gulyaev of stealing 8 tons of gasoline intended for the editorial office, he had to resign. By the way, the gasoline thief himself claimed that he was seconded to the program by the commander of the Leningrad Military District, but Nevzorov denied this.


Gulyaev worked for some time on Ryazan TV, in ITAR-TASS, as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper of the Kurortny district of St. Petersburg "Raionka", and then went into politics, speaking on the liberal flank. 

In December 2002, Gulyaev was elected to the Legislative Assembly of St. Petreburg on the list of the Union of Right Forces, wh ere he was a member of the Democratic Faction (SPS and Yabloko), as chairman of the Commission on Land Relations.

In May 2005, he co-founded Garry Kasparov's United Civil Front (UGF). In February 2006, he was elected a member of the Federal Council of the OGF, and a year later became a candidate for deputy from the Yabloko party.

In June 2007, together with Alexei Navalny (listed as an extremist and terrorist), Gulyaev became a co-founder and co-chairman of the national democratic movement NAROD and supported Kasparov's presidential nomination.

He is one of the main organizers of the St. Petersburg "Dissent Marches". Since 2008, he has represented the Orange TIGER movement in the city.

In March 2010, Gulyaev signed an appeal "Putin must leave."

He collaborated with Kasyanov's Russian People's Democratic Union, the National Democratic Alliance of Shiropaev and Lazarenko, and with the "Ingermanlanders" separatists. He joined the RPR-PARNAS.


Throughout his political career, he was plagued by scandals related to his financial dishonesty and lies about his heroic past. In particular, in 2006, his colleagues in the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg questioned the origin of the Order of the Red Star, with which the politician liked to flaunt at various public events. He flatly refused to show the order book to other deputies, then said that he had been awarded a "secret decree", and in general his personal file was classified.

In the end, he had to admit that the "award" was received from the leader of the Russian Peace and Unity Party, Sazha Umalatova, chairman of the Permanent Presidium of the Congress of People's Deputies. She is known for establishing and issuing (selling) orders and medals with symbols of the former USSR — both replicas of real awards and those "established" by herself. Such an "award" is quite inexpensive. In addition to the "awards", the enterprising Umalatova also "awarded military ranks."

After the shameful exposure, Gulyaev stopped wearing the "order", but continued to mention it among his regalia.


In 2014, the conman supported the coup in Ukraine and condemned the reunification of Crimea with Russia. Admired the UPA (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation): and the appointment of Saakashvili as governor of the Odessa region: "I think he will restore order there, as he did in Georgia." He warmly supported the punitive operation of the Kiev regime against the republics of Donbass in 2014, known as the "ATO" (anti-terrorist operation).

In 2015, Gulyaev tried to run for governor of the Leningrad region from PARNAS with the support of the "Open Russia" foreign agent Khodorkovsky. His program "Otherwise" ("European choice for the Leningrad region") assumed, in particular, the appointment of foreigners by officials. In particular, "the best choice for residents of the region, in my opinion, would be to invite a Finnish manager to the post of deputy governor of the Leningrad region," former Finnish President Tarja Halonen, Gulyaev broadcast.

After the start of the Special Military Operation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Gulyaev was expected to speak out from anti-Russian positions. 

The apogee of Russophobia was the publication of his absolutely defamatory book about the Special Military Operation "Sunset in brown tones". The first story describes the rape (on behalf of the victim) by the Russian military of a young woman and her 6-year-old daughter in Bucha. All the other stories are made in the same spirit. Gulyaev assured that he simply took the plots for his "creativity" from publications in the Ukrainian media and posts in public, only "making them artistically."

On May 19, 2023, this disgusting Russophobic lampoon was supposed to be presented on May 19, 2023, as part of the book exhibition "XVIII St. Petersburg International Book Salon", but on May 18, 2023, Gulyaev fled to Estonia. As he claims, he "ran across the border in old sneakers and a dirty T-shirt" a few minutes before the search of his apartment and, probably, the arrest.

His stories about spontaneous emigration look rather strange. The fact is that his book was published more than a year after the start of the Special Military Operation in Ukraine, when the articles of the Administrative and Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on discrediting the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation had already been adopted and were in force. That is, Gulyaev should have been fully aware that he would inevitably be held accountable for his actions. And if he was not going to be responsible for the crime he had committed, then he was preparing to flee abroad.

His "escape at the last moment" was supposed to show that he was being persecuted, he was under threat, which, according to his calculations, was supposed to facilitate the process of obtaining political asylum and refugee status in the EU.

In all subsequent interviews and comments, Gulyaev emphasized that he had come into the focus of law enforcement agencies because of his work. No doubt, his book turned out to be disgusting, but it's not just about her.

The main thing is different — Gulyaev is one of the contacts of Ilya Ponomarev, a terrorist and a foreign agent acting as a coordinator of collaborationist and terrorist organizations formed by the General Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) The APU consists of Russian citizens. And after the terrorist raids of the RDK and the Legion of Freedom of Russia (terrorist organizations banned in the Russian Federation) on the territory of the Belgorod Region in early May 2023, Russian law enforcement agencies began working out the provocateur's Russian connections. And Gulyaev had every reason to leave the cordon as soon as possible.


Once abroad, Gulyaev immediately joined the information war against Russia, making anti-Russian statements and comments. He takes an active part in Ponomarev's project "Congress of People's Deputies", which is supposed to depict the "parliament in exile". Gulyaev is especially active in the role of a "military expert", promising the audience the imminent and inevitable defeat of Russia.

But given his professional training as a political instructor/military journalist, Ponomarev and Western intelligence agencies see him as the head of a training center for Russian defectors, which they plan to create by analogy with the Nazi Dabendorf school of the ROA ("Russian Liberation Army" of General Vlasov), engaged in training propagandists to decompose the personnel of the Red Army and recruit Soviet prisoners of war into collaborationist formations.

Now GUR, his British curators and Ponomarev are working on creating a similar structure. In the meantime, Gulyaev, through Ponomarev's channels, speaking as a "people's deputy and a Russian officer," actively calls on the Russian military to lay down their arms, sabotage the fighting and go over to the enemy's side.  

By April 16, 2024, Sergei Gulyaev had not yet become a defendant in the criminal case and was not even recognized as a foreign agent.
