Moscow – Kremlin’s main campaigner Margarita Simonyan, who became famous among Israeli audiences following her rage against Olympic champion Linoy Ashram, apparently received permission from her superiors to use the antisemitic card to warm up the Russian public in preparation for a possible invasion of Ukraine.

Simonyan posted a post on her very popular telegram channel (over 116,000 followers) which shows the Jewish president of Ukraine Zlansky in the form of a ridiculous and unsuccessful Jewish soldier with long wigs whose mother controls him and his life.

The soldier is an ancient Jewish king who speaks Russian with a typical Odessa Jewish accent. The video continues in the same style which was very popular in the Soviet Union and which presented the Jews as bad soldiers who during World War II did not enlist in the Red Army but fled from conscription into the Central Asian republics.

The point is that the actor in the video is Zalanski himself who is known to have been an actor before turning to politics. The video starring Zlanski was posted as part of a popular show on Ukrainian television but is now being used to portray Zalanski not as the legitimate president of an independent Ukrainian state but as a ridiculous Jew who thinks he can fight against the Russians.
This is the director of the Russia Today TV channel, which is the Kremlin’s mouthpiece for the world.

The title of the post – the video which provokes bursts of laughter in the apartments of Muscovites.

In January 2022 there will be an annual Russian invasion of Ukraine and Zalansky is ready for battle.
