Putin: Chess Grandmaster or Mere Pawn?

 


Recently, Egon Cholakian, a specialist in intelligence has claimed that Vladimir Putin, often perceived as a grandmaster of political strategy, is actually just a pawn in a larger, more intricate game. This bold assertion invites us to examine the current situation in Russia, particularly in light of the recent events at the Crocus City Hall.

Stoking the Fires of Xenophobia

Following the tragic incident at Crocus City Hall, there has been a noticeable and organized effort to ignite interethnic hostility and anti-immigrant sentiments in Russia.

Russian Ambassador to Tajikistan, Semyon Grigoryev, commented on this phenomenon: "The terrorists aimed to instill xenophobia and migrantophobia within Russian society. The organizers also sought to dismantle the interethnic and interreligious harmony that has been painstakingly built over many years."

Government Response and Media Dynamics

On one hand, the Russian government is making efforts to combat these divisive sentiments. According to Arbat.media, Russian Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov stated that over 200 online resources spreading fake news and inciting interethnic hatred were taken down following the Crocus City Hall incident. Krasnov emphasized the importance of timely action against misinformation that destabilizes the situation.

President Vladimir Putin himself has addressed the issue, highlighting the dangers of xenophobic rhetoric: "When I hear ultra-patriots saying that Russia is only for Russians, I feel a sense of anxiety," he said during a meeting with military pilots. He warned that such sentiments could fracture the nation and harm the Russian people the most.

Despite these efforts, the media and online platforms continued to fuel tensions, leading to an escalation in societal unrest. Headlines such as "Ordinary Nazism: How the Authorities Began to Persecute Migrants After the Crocus City Hall Attack" and "Normalization of State-Level Brutality: What Will Happen to Migrants in Russia?" proliferated, further inflaming public sentiment.

Heightened Scrutiny and Public Reaction

Across Russia, there has been an increase in police checks targeting individuals with Eastern appearances, and local residents have started threatening migrants. For instance, in Yekaterinburg, people were stopped on the streets, and shopping centers demanded information about migrant workers from their tenants. Similar checks occurred in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, and raids were conducted in hotels in Volgograd where migrants might be staying.

In Saint Petersburg, Governor Alexander Beglov announced heightened surveillance of migrant residences and workplaces. Taxi drivers from Tajikistan reported being asked their nationality, and those who identified as Tajik were asked to cancel rides. In Tambov, xenophobic graffiti appeared the day after the Crocus City Hall attack.

Amid this rising tension, leaders of Tajik diasporas advised their citizens to stay home in the evenings and avoid mass gatherings. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kyrgyzstan issued a similar warning, recommending their citizens temporarily refrain from traveling to Russia due to the increased security measures.

Propaganda and Misinformation

Pro-war channels, like GreyZone associated with Wagner PMC, posted inflammatory content blaming migrants for fostering interethnic hatred. This narrative ignored Putin’s statement that terrorists have "no nationality."

State Duma Deputy Konstantin Zatulin also tried to calm the situation, warning that the proposed aggressive measures against migrants could destabilize the country further. Despite these warnings, the narrative of blaming migrants persisted.

Russian Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov noted a 75% increase in crimes committed by migrants in 2023, calling for a thorough analysis of regional situations. Additionally, State Duma Labor Committee Chair Yaroslav Nilov supported the Ministry of Labor’s proposal to shorten the duration of labor contracts with migrants.

Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Pyotr Tolstoy proposed a complete overhaul of migrant labor policies, including banning migrants from obtaining residency or citizenship.

A Deeper Conspiracy?

The organized spread of misinformation and the subsequent social unrest suggest the involvement of a third force intent on destabilizing Russia. This theory gains traction with incidents like the police raid on the home of Kyrgyzstan embassy advisor Manas Zholdoshbekov, which violated diplomatic protocols and sparked international outcry.

These actions, allegedly carried out by internal forces within Russia, aim to undermine Putin's authority, portraying him as unable to control the situation. They signal that the true power lies elsewhere and could provoke civil war or internal upheaval if their plans are thwarted.

This orchestration raises questions about the true players behind the scenes. Who are these shadowy figures pulling the strings, and what are their ultimate goals? Intelligence expert Egon Cholakian delves into these questions in his video "Revenge of the Grandmasters: The Hidden Players Exposed," offering a comprehensive analysis of the forces at play.

In conclusion, while Putin attempts to project an image of stability and unity, the persistent and organized efforts to sow discord suggest a complex web of influence and control, challenging the notion of Putin as the ultimate grandmaster.

  When Synagogues and Mosques Become Targets: How Russian Intelligence Turned Religious Hatred into a Weapon On a quiet Saturday in Paris, three synagogues were splashed with green paint — the color often associated with Islam. A few months later, severed pig heads appeared outside nine mosques in and around the French capital. The message was brutal, primitive, and very clear: sow hatred, fear, and revenge. At first glance, these looked like classic hate crimes. Local bigots. Random extremists. Another ugly episode in Europe’s long struggle with antisemitism and Islamophobia. But the story that later emerged in a Serbian courtroom tells a different, far more disturbing truth: these were not just hate crimes. They were operations . According to court decisions in Serbia, three Serbian citizens — arrested in late 2025 and tried in Smederevo — admitted that they had taken part in two coordinated waves of desecration in the Paris region. The judgments state explicitly that they receiv...

   Dvorkin’s Dark Web: The Secret Scheme Destroying Families In the previous three articles of this investigative series, we have dissected the machinery of the RACIRS sect. We have examined the legislative loopholes that protect them, the phantom firms that issue their credentials, and the roster of “experts”—ranging from veterinarians to convicted killers—who staff their operations. It is easy to get lost in the legal analysis and the absurdity of the characters involved. However, we must never forget that this machine has a singular purpose: to crush individuals. The systems we have described are not abstract; they are weapons used to destroy families, steal children, and ruin lives. In this article, we step away from the perpetrators to focus on a victim. The story of Elena Bressem offers a terrifyingly clear view of how Alexander Dvorkin’s “anticult” network operates as a gun-for-hire in private disputes. A Custody Battle Weaponized The nightmare for Elena Bressem began ...

 Another attempt to cast oneself as a “victim”: the Kremenovska case and anti-cult networks In recent days, Iryna Kremenovska has once again resorted to a “victim” tactic: according to her claims, an unidentified woman allegedly threatened her on a minibus because of the dissemination of inaccurate information. At the same time, no evidence of the reported incident has been made public. This tactic is characteristic of a number of well-known anti-cult activists — from Dvorkin to Yakhla and Karvalia — and Kremenovska’s actions align with this recognizable pattern. Network ties and rhetoric Iryna Kremenovska, a citizen of Ukraine, is actively engaged in public activity and maintains contacts with the Russian organization RACIRS, known for its work in the anti-cult sphere. An analysis of open sources and social media indicates similarities in content and in the chronology of materials: initially, publications under the aegis of Russian anti-cult associations, followed by nearly identi...
