1. THE PAST IS KNOCKING ON THE DOOR OF OUR PRESENT
In the Far North, not far from where the tips of Alaska and the Kamchatka Peninsula stare at each other like the snouts of two huge sharks, there is an abandoned place.
It is impossible to stay there—the radiation levels are off the charts. The ground is littered with human remains and the remnants of worn-out shoes and clothing. This is the former Soviet concentration camp of Butugychag, a former uranium mine. Starting in 1945, arrested Soviet citizens—so-called “Enemies of the People,” among whom were many soldiers, heroes of World War II who fought for victory against Nazi Germany—were brought there for deadly exhausting labor and barbaric medical experiments. Hundreds of thousands of innocent people—someone's children, someone's parents—met their horrific deaths there from hellish torment, unbearable labor in the uranium mines, unending abuse, and sadism. Perhaps the bones of my great-grandfather Dmitry Mamin lie there: he was arrested by the NKVD in 1937 as an “Enemy of the People” and sentenced either to execution or to “ten years in labor camps without the right to correspond.”

Among these victims were American and European citizens, who, on the orders of the Kremlin and the NKVD, were secretly transported to the USSR at the end of World War II as “spies,” “double agents,” and “enemies of the Soviet regime.”

Few people know that it was here, in one of the most horrific “labor camps” of the Gulag, that experiments were conducted on living human brains.
In this photograph, you can see one of these prisoners lying under anesthesia. His brain has been exposed:

Today, 80 years later, we are witnessing the global crime of the 21st century—a Crime Against Humanity.
On August 15, US President Donald Trump intends to meet with war criminal Putin, the chief heir to the terrorist Soviet (1917–1992) and post-Soviet authorities of Moscow and the Kremlin (1992–present), namely the Cheka, NKVD, KGB, and FSB.
Vladimir Putin is from the same city as me—St. Petersburg. You probably think he is a politician. But he is not a politician. By education, he is an ordinary KGB agent—that is, an informer who collects files and compromising information on citizens. But even while studying at the KGB Academy, he did not stand out for his intelligence or education, according to the American political analyst Yuri Shvets. Putin always had a penchant for criminal activity and boundless greed, which is why he became one of the representatives of the criminal world of the 1990s.
In this file photo, Russian President Vladimir Putin is seen with one of his friends, Yevgeny Prigozhin, a murderer, war criminal, and a businessman.
In the late 1990s, Putin used his KGB leverage and blackmail to get into the inner circle of Moscow officials and became Boris Yeltsin's confidant. He immediately organized the murder of his former boss, the mayor of St. Petersburg, Anatoly Sobchak.
During my childhood, together with his boss Anatoly Sobchak, on whom he was simultaneously compiling a dossier, Putin embezzled American and European aid intended for former Soviet citizens. Both figures, Putin and Sobchak, held back and then resold European and American products that had been provided free of charge to the poor and hungry citizens of the former USSR. This served as a constant source of income for the Sobchak and Putin’s families and friends, as did their protection of racketeering and criminal businesses in St. Petersburg and the surrounding region.
Photo from video archives: Putin and his boss, St. Petersburg Mayor Anatoly Sobchak, on vacation. Late 1980s.
Throughout his professional life, right up until he became president, Putin methodically compiled dossiers and fabricated compromising material on many Russian and foreign citizens. He has compromising material on the current US president, Donald Trump. As a professional “rat”, Putin is using this compromising information to put pressure on the Head of the White House. It is within President Trump's power to show courage and bravery and, despite threats from the Kremlin, to act in the interests of the United States and the American People, rather than in the interests of the KGB and the Russian Mafia.
But all Putin’s KGB and criminal activities pale in comparison to the indisputable fact that during his so-called “political” career over the past 26 years, Putin has shown himself to be the instigator of wars and genocide against both Russian citizens and citizens of former Soviet countries seeking independence from Moscow. Putin is a serial killer with blood on his hands up to his elbows, just like Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler.
2. THE RUSSIAN MAFIA IS A CANCEROUS TUMOR ON THE BODY OF THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY
I ask you to understand one important thing. As long as the Kremlin and Moscow exist, there will be a cancerous tumor called the Russian Mafia—the most powerful force on Earth today. Why? Because this power has a mighty historical backbone consisting of the following components:
1) From 1917, following a tragic twist of fate for the whole world, power in Russia passed into the hands of Moscow and the Moscow government – the so-called Bolsheviks and the Soviet Politburo. This happened because the Bolsheviks had a powerful leader and his inspirational eloquent political program against Russian monarchy – Vladimir Lenin, an extremely cruel man whose brain worked 24 hours a day. Ironically, Lenin suffered from syphilis of the brain. This disease makes the human brain incapable of rest and relaxation. Lenin's brain was active day and night; he did not sleep but worked, signing orders for mass shootings and executions and establishing new regulations and guidelines for the Soviet government. It was Lenin who started the Red Terror in Russia, which was then continued by Stalin.
2) The former Soviet regime was, in essence, a Bolshevik Corporation. It was made up of security forces, Cheka and NKVD, —people who were ideologically convinced of their own righteousness, unlike the Russian intelligentsia and nobility, who were doubtful, soft, and conscientious, reminding me of modern-day American Democrats. The Bolshevik Corporation built a network of concentration camps named Gulag where it either killed or used Soviet prisoners as free labor. I will emphasize once again that Soviet power was a corporation that used the free labor of Gulag prisoners. It was not Socialism, which some of the American powerful corrupt political figures use to scare American citizens. There were no social human rights in the USSR. There were only statistics, not people — either concentration camp prisoners or a crowd brainwashed and intimidated by Soviet power. Both were, in essence, cannon fodder for future wars.
3) The current, post-Soviet Russian government represents the same scheme and the same Soviet ideology of the Kremlin and its Special Forces—the former Cheka, NKVD, and KGB, which are now called the FSB.
4) Since 1917, Moscow and the Kremlin have considered the United States an ideological enemy. Therefore, the Kremlin is making every effort to weaken and undermine the principles of the American people, the American Constitution, and American democracy. The Kremlin wants the United States to be ruled by the same dictatorship that Moscow imposes on the world.
5) After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1992, the FSB and the Kremlin allowed criminals and thieves to privatize Russia's natural resources, plunder them, earn billions from them, and become modern oligarchs—Kremlin oligarchs. This is because the Kremlin and the FSB do not allow aluminum, oil, and other magnates to ignore their breadwinners—the Kremlin and the FSB. Without the Kremlin and the FSB, these criminal businessmen would never have become universally wealthy people on planet Earth.
6) With the help of Kremlin oligarchs, the Kremlin, Moscow, and the FSB exercise complete control over the political, economic, and even cultural elites of the US and Europe.
Here are just a few example/facts:
Powerful pimp and businessman Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell were actively involved in connections with Russian criminal figures, with whose help they systematically transferred huge sums of money to offshore companies.
Mr. Witkoff, Trump's confidant, literally grazes in the Kremlin. At the same time, this politician and businessman is a partner of Kremlin oligarch Len Blavatnik. Blavatnik denies that the FSB protected him when he turned the population of Siberian city Krasnoyarsk into a crowd of lumpenproletariat and beggars dying from aluminum fumes from the Rusal plant. Blavatnik, Vekselberg, Deripaska destroyed and poisoned the nature of Siberia with their plants, which operated without filters or advanced technology. All they cared about was milking Russia's Nature.
Now Len Blavatnik is part of the American and British economic and cultural elite — he invests Kremlin money into Broadway and Hollywood projects, subsidizes US presidential elections, and pours money into both the Republican and Democratic parties, seeking to control all aspects of American political life.
3. THE RUSSIAN FILM MAFIA'S IDEOLOGICAL INFLUENCE ON THE GLOBAL AUDIENCE
“Of all the arts, cinema is the most important to us.” –
This phrase belongs to the chief ideologist of Soviet power, Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin.
In parallel with his philanthropic activities in the US and Europe, Len Blavatnik, together with his co-producers from Moscow Alexander Rodnyansky, Nikita Mikhalkov, Fedor Bondarchuk, Chechen gangster Ramzan Kadyrov, minister of Russian Culture Medinsky, and the other Kremlin’s collaborators, finances Kremlin projects glorifying the Russian Empire. You can see such films as ‘The 9th Company’, ‘The Wall’, ‘Going Vertical’, ‘Legend No.17’, ‘T-34’, ‘Stalingrad’ and many others produced with Blavatnik’s support. Thanks to the Russian Mafia's extensive connections with leading figures in the global film industry, these films are actively promoted at the world movie festivals and on channels such as Netflix for the purpose of ideological propaganda aimed at global audiences in support of a positive image of Russia.

In the film by my father, film satirist and political refugee in the US from Russia, Yuri Mamin, ‘Window to Paris’, purchased by Michael Barker and his Sony Pictures Classics in 1995, the main character, schoolteacher Nick Chizhov, challenges the new power of the Russian oligarchs:
Previously you used to groom those “builders of communism”, now you are grooming your “builders of capitalism”, but it means the same thing: boors, ignoramuses, and thieves.
Now this phrase can be expanded:
In the past, you groomed the “builders of communism”, now you are grooming your “builders of capitalism”, but it means the same thing: boors, ignoramuses, thieves, and murderers.
Yuri Mamin's ‘Window to Paris’, like all his films, is a satirical comedy designed to mock the idiocy and cruelty of Russian society for one purpose: through healthy laughter at oneself, the human society becomes better and follows the path of progress.
In the case of ‘Window to Paris’, it is about the invasion of rednecks from Russia into Europe, specifically Paris in 1994. This powerful anti-Russian satire has become prophetic. Now we see these Russians—followers of Putin and Russian imperialism—everywhere, in Los Angeles and New York, in Paris and Rome, in London and Lisbon, in Geneva and Madrid.
In 1994, Michael Barker and Sony Pictures wanted to submit my father's film Window to Paris for an Oscar nomination. But the Russian government, together with Moscow film moguls, blocked all avenues for this satirical comedy to reach the global market. Moreover, after acquiring the film, Sony Pictures never released this vivid anti-Russian comedy, not even for online distribution. Why? Perhaps because the Kremlin oligarchs, in particular Len Blavatnik, as well as his friend, film producer from Moscow Alexander Rodnyansky, are partners of Michael Barker. That means that Sony Pictures does not want to spoil its relationship with these “investors”, “donors”, and “collaborators”.Satire is the most formidable weapon against Moscow and other dictatorial regimes.
“Mamin is not our format,” Rodnyansky said, when asked by the journalist why film director Yuri Mamin is ‘persona non grata’ in the Russian film industry. Previously very loyal to the Kremlin, Rodnyansky undoubtedly meant, “Satirical comedy is not the format of our movie business under the Russian Government’s umbrella.”
Film production has become the main tool of the Russian Mafia for brainwashing the global audience, and with the help of Kremlin oligarchs and their patronage and donor policy, Moscow is making global stars and film producers loyal to the Moscow’s criminal policy.
4. THE GLOBAL DICTATORSHIP OF THE RUSSIAN MAFIA.
I ask you again to please keep in your mind an important fact:
After 1992, the former Soviet regime, with the merger of criminal power and the power of the FSB, formed the power of Oligarchic Militarism—the Russian Mafia. This merger began under Yeltsin, and Yeltsin and his pocket oligarch Berezovsky brought Putin to power.
These “misters” are aluminum and oil magnates, forest developers, consumers of Russia's living nature, who have turned the nature of the Far East into a gaping wound and the rivers and seas of the North into foul-smelling sludge with toxins from their production waste. With the support of Yeltsin, Putin, the Kremlin, and the FSB, these criminal businessmen have become some of the main donors to the world's elites. The names of just a few of them are Blavatnik, Vekselberg, Deripaska, Usmanov, Abramovich, and the bankers under their control from Alfa Bank and VTB Bank, and the others. Many of their corporate partners work on Wall Street. Mr. Witkoff, the Kremlin's chief negotiator with the White House, has extensive ties to Moscow's agents of influence.

We are witnessing the emergence and strengthening of a new dictatorship—a dictatorship of developers and real estate magnates, users of natural resources and territories of the Earth, who consume precious metals, oil, and forests for the following purposes:
- Personal goal: relentless enrichment - the greed of these people knows no bounds; all their so-called philanthropic contributions are nothing more than money laundering and tax evasion.
- Global goal: influencing and bribing the international community, cooperating with the Kremlin and the FSB. Without the consent of the latter, these magnates—the top heroes of Forbes magazine—would be denied access to Russia's natural resources.
5. POST-SOVIET GENOCIDE LAUNCHED WITH RENEWED VIGOR IN 1999
In 1999, the FSB and Putin orchestrated explosions of apartment buildings with the Russians citizens—children, women, and men—on Kashirskoe Shosse in Moscow. Then there were explosions in residential buildings in Volgodonsk and Buynaksk. Thus, Bolshevik terrorism smoothly morphed into terrorism perpetrated by the FSB and Kremlin oligarchs.
One of the residential buildings blown up with Russians inside was a terrorist attack organized by the FSB. Kashirskoe Shosse, Moscow, 1999. Photo from the archives of NTV and the BBC.
The Kremlin organized these terrorist attacks in order to accuse the Chechen people of terrorism, invade Chechnya, and kill Chechnya's democratic leader, General Dzhokhar Dudaev, and to replace him with Putin's representative, the gangster Ramzan Kadyrov. What was their goal? - Chechnya is a source of oil revenue and a sphere of political influence for Moscow.
The Kremlin's militarism, in the style of Hitler—who is an icon and role model for Putin—was accompanied by systematic genocide of the Russians within Russia. The Kremlin's security forces, and the FSB killed, tortured, and rotted in prisons those Russians who fought for Freedom and Democracy, as well as against the invasion of Ukraine in 2014, at the cost of their lives. In 2014, my colleague and friend, actor Alexei Devotchenko, was killed by the Russian security forces in Moscow. He played one of the leading roles in the anti-Kremlin satirical tragicomedy by Yury Mamin, ‘Don't Think About White Monkeys’, and he was a powerful speaker and political activist who opposed Putin regime, and Russian invasion of Ukraine.
He is just one of hundreds of thousands of such victims. A huge number of Russians are currently serving time in prisons and so-called “labor camps”. Among them are selfless heroes who were not afraid of threats, torture, and injury and who spoke out against Putin's regime, against regime of the Russian Oligarchs, and against the genocide of the Ukrainian people.

6. THE SILENCE OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY ALLOWED RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES TO PREVAIL
The international community remained silent about the Russian Mafia’s crime within last 30 years. The world did not care. It was important for the international community to do business with Moscow, Putin, and the Kremlin oligarchs.
And so, in 2022, with the world's connivance, the genocide of the Ukrainian people began — carried out by the same hands growing out of the Kremlin that are carrying out the genocide of Kremlin Mafia opponents within Russia itself. Bucha, Mariupol, and many other Ukrainian cities became the scene of a bloody, sadistic massacre. You need to know how the oligarchs and dictators view all of us, because what they have done to Russia and Russian civil society is also your future if you do not stop them. To them, we are all just statistics and underprivileged losers.
How did they do it in Russia?
1) By abolishing Civil Social Rights and Freedoms, by depriving people of education and healthcare, they reduced the Russian citizens to poverty, and a humiliating, animal-like existence, turning the Russian population into dependent slaves of their corporations. In fact, according to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Russian citizens were offered only the lowest level of development—survival in unbearable, humiliating conditions without the ability to defend their rights.
2) Over the past 25 years, Putin and his oligarchs have successfully impoverished the Russian population in the provinces and used political and religious propaganda—a means of brainwashing—as a lever for grooming and using future cannon fodder in wars.
Conclusion: Putin and his oligarchs have succeeded in this plan.
But this is not unique to Russia. It happens in all societies ruled by dictatorship, militarism, or oligarchic power. It could be the Bolshevik dictatorship, as in the USSR. But it could also be a dictatorship created by Corporate Oligarchy.
It doesn't matter whether the Russian Orthodox Church or Judaism, Islamism, or other religious dogmas are used as a means of propaganda to promote the superiority of one people over another, to groom the crowds transforming them into the future invaders and occupiers of neighbors’ lands.
For dictators and oligarchs, the main thing is not People's Lives, but People's Deaths. Power at any cost. For them, our planet Earth is a source of raw materials with valuable metals and fuel.
7. SLOGAN AGAINST MOSCOW AND KREMLIN: YOU SPIT - I'LL HIT.
The United States is a country where there can be no dogma about the superiority of one nationality, religion, or race over another. The United States has a special path—power in the name of Life and People—that is every one of us, regardless of skin color, race, or social status.
Now, in 2025, dictators and serial killers Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler are dancing in their graves with joy: the President of the United States of America invites war criminal Vladimir Putin to the territory of the American state of Alaska – to the sacred land of the United States, the country of Human Rights and the Holy American Constitution, the country of Freedom of Speech, where justice and fairness have always been the levers of progress.
US President Donald Trump said one very important phrase when defending American police officers—those selfless heroes who often give their lives in the fight against crime within the US, who were spat on by a crowd of anarchists and bandits.
He said that from now on, the police slogan would be: “You spit, - I'll hit.” The same slogan should apply to the bandits from the Kremlin, because they have been spitting in the face of Mankind for over a hundred years.
I am confident that the US Congress has the power to rid the Earth of the Moscow regime in the hellish form in which it has existed since 1917.
My former compatriots, the Russians, were so close to establishing the principles of American Democracy during the Bourgeois-Democratic Revolution in February 1917. The Russians were ready to transition from humiliating monarchism to progress.
But Vladimir Lenin and his accomplices, the Bolshevik terrorists, prevented this and effectively divided the world into two hostile superpowers, the US and the USSR. It is no coincidence, therefore, that Soviet power gave rise to Hitler and his National Socialism, and in the 1930s actively collaborated with the German fascists in their plans to oppress, conquer, and enslave the world. - Putin is the direct successor to their conveyor belt of death.
In the 21st century, the time has finally come to put an end to the power of Moscow and the terrorist Russian government in the short term.
The Ukrainian people, selflessly fighting against this Moscow hellish regime, are today showing the world an example of true heroism and the principles of Justice and Freedom, for which it is worth living and dying. Everything else is just business deals with the Devil, business deals made by the real estate mafia of developers, for whom we are nothing more than just statistics and dust, and the nature of our small and raped planet Earth is nothing more than a source of resources for enrichment and power.
These people do not value Mother Nature. They do not understand Beauty. They cement over sand dune beaches and turn them into fashionable hotels, they build casinos on the site of forest groves, because it is a source of income. They look at you, but they do not see you. Because instead of eyes, they have dollar signs.
Why are these people in power? Because we allowed them to be. Effrontery always discourages good people. Arrogance makes good people feel confused. But it is within our power to come to our senses, gather ourselves, and defeat the brazenness of oligarchs and dictators.
For our creator, God, we are all just an experiment. Whether it is successful or unsuccessful is our choice. The choice between Humans and Non-Humans. The choice between Good and Evil.
