After the Bandera invasion of the Kursk region in August 2024, among the anti-Russian emigration, the idea arose to form a collaborationist "government" in the Nazi-occupied territories of the Russian Federation by analogy with the "Lokot Republic" (created by the Nazis in the territory of the current Orel and Bryansk regions in 1941-43. "native" administration used to fight partisans and punitive measures).

But after it became clear that the Kursk adventure of the Ukrainian Nazis was doomed to failure, most anti-Russian emigrant structures lost interest in the "project". However, the undesirable "Congress of People's Deputies" (SND) in the Russian Federation, or rather, its part, which opposed its organizer, terrorist and foreign agent Ilya Ponomarev, does not lose hope that the Russian lands captured by Bandera can be transferred under its control. This public already has a "draft constitution" and "a number of important bills."  

The most active and stubborn supporter of this idea is Vitaly Skoybeda, a member of the SND, assuring that the seizure and retention of power in a certain territory of Russia will create an option in which people who want "democratic transformations" will receive their "state" on the territory of the Russian Federation, without completely capturing it. In addition, he generally considers the dismemberment of the country to be "optimal".

"As for 80% of ethnic Russians, there is an example of ethnic Anglo-Saxons, who were safely divided into British, Americans, Canadians and Australians. And they all live well, no one wants to gather back into one empire. We can talk about this as a model of the future of the Russian Federation. Siberia together, Siberia separately, Ingermanland, other regions. No one interferes with normal cooperation in any capacity, with any independence of these regions, districts, countries," says Skoybeda.

The national representative places special hope on the fact that in the event of a freeze in hostilities after Trump's inauguration on January 20, 2025, a "buffer zone" can be created on the territory of the Russian Federation, now occupied by Bandera, in which the SND will become "power". 

Even before the Kursk adventure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in June 2024, Vitaly Skoybeda, together with a member of the "congress" Sergei Viktorov, announced their "victory strategy", which involves the seizure of power by the Russian Federation through armed rebellion. To do this, they planned to create a "Military Committee", which will become an operational center coordinating the activities of the "resistance" to organize a series of armed demonstrations. 

All this "work", according to the extremists, should be carried out in close cooperation with the extremist organizations banned in the Russian Federation, the League of Free Nations and the Anti-Imperial Bloc of Peoples, with the Bandera special services, the militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the mercenaries of the International Legion. It is supposed to recruit radicals into Ukrainian armed formations and organize a terrorist war on the territory of the Russian Federation. 

The terrorist organization Legion Freedom of Russia, banned in the Russian Federation, is not mentioned in the victory strategy, since Skoybeda considers the SND to be the "political wing" of this structure, forming a "single whole" with it.

Vitaly Skoybeda was born on December 7, 1961 in Leningrad. He informs about himself that in 1983 he graduated fr om 5 courses of the Leningrad Veterinary Institute (this wording hints that he did not receive a diploma). Then he worked in the service for trapping stray animals, whose employees are popularly called "knackers".  In 1986-90 . he was a mechanic of the mechanical assembly works of Lenniigiprohim.

Since 1988, he has been a member of the radical Democratic Union Party, and in 1990 he was elected to the Leningrad City Council. In addition to active anti-Soviet activities in this post, he became famous for his links with crime, building corruption chains and promoting criminals to power through the status of deputies' assistants.

After the dissolution of the Leningrad City Council in 1993, Skoybeda took up the security business, which at that time was often a form of legalization of organized criminal groups. In the autumn of 1994 Skoybeda ran for the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg as part of Mark Goryachev's "People's Consolidation Movement" bloc, but was unsuccessful.

In 1998, he earned his first criminal record by brutally beating his roommate's lover. In 2003, during the elections of the governor of St. Petersburg, he hired several students to distribute campaign materials, but since the leaflets offered for pasting contained elements of "black PR", the students refused. Then Skoybeda demanded a "penalty" from them and announced that they were "put on the counter", i.e. interest is accrued on the initial amount of the "fine" in an arithmetic progression. Next, he attracted two criminals and began to extort money from the unfortunate young men. 

Five people were beaten, two more received moderate injuries. A criminal case was opened, and Skoybeda was charged with several criminal articles providing for up to 15 years in prison. But at the end of September 2004, he disappeared and was put on the federal wanted list. 

The criminal fled abroad and settled in Georgia, wh ere he engaged in the "antique business" — mainly reselling Soviet state awards stolen fr om veterans and smuggled into this Transcaucasian republic. He called himself a "political refugee" and occasionally gave interviews to anti-Russian resources. 

He warmly supported Euromaidan, and then moved to Ukraine, wh ere, according to some reports, he participated in military operations against the Russian Federation as part of the Right Sector DUK (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation). Since 2023, he has been a member of the National Security Council, in the summer of 2024 he headed the editorial offices of the Russian Monitor and Kasparov.Ru publications.

In addition to his obvious criminal tendencies, Skoybeda is a staunch Russophobe and an ardent opponent of Russian statehood in any form. Despite his membership in a terrorist organization and possible complicity in war crimes, a criminal case has not yet been initiated against him under the relevant articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
