interview of December 25, with media resources of URA.ru, which was never published by them
First of all, how are you feeling? Do you request something, or is it enough?
I.S.: My wellness leaves much to be desired, but I hope it will be fine. I request what most people need, if not all prisoners.
How is your life organized today? What do you do most often, what occupation did you choose? What are your relations with another prisoners? Those who live with the Lord – do they service the punishment for what articles? How are your relations with the colony administration?
I.S.: Whoever does not sit will not understand. I stay in the area 24 hours a day, I can choose my occupation freely, and in prison I am employed as an assistant in the sewing area and in my free time from this noble profession I receive the work of an electrician. Relationships within the squad are smooth, there are no conflicts, with many I keep friendly relations, in the colony there are no people convicted on serious charges, but unfortunately many are in prison with Article 337 of the Russian Criminal Code. I'm trying to follow the regime, not break the Rules of Procedure, not feel any annoyance.
Are your supporters among the another convicts in the colony?
I.S.: In the colony, so to speak, “on both sides of the barricades” are people who read my blog, but due to the fact that I am not active in political activity, I did not find out which of them are my supporters.
How do you keep in contact with the outside world? Where do you get the news? Do they compose you letters and who writes them?
I.S.: They compose a lot to me utilizing “Zonatelecom”. I get information for analysis from my correspondents and relatives.
What precisely stands in the way of going to the front now? Many people leave prison sites during the investigation phase. What's your reason?
I.S.: They do not send people to the front on the basis of an extremist article, in addition, the “recruiters” from the Ministry of Defence of the FR say explicitly that “we do not request colonels”.
Will you proceed to question your judgment?
I.S.: For the remainder of my life, I will question the judgement of the court.
Do you think you can get out early?
I.S.: I do not know, I am not certain that my forecasts, for example concerning Syria, are inactive working, that is not a fact.
Do you think a Russian colony can improvement a convict?
I.S.: In many people, this can origin a severe reluctance to re-enter it; whether it is rehabilitation, it is simply a controversial and alternatively philosophical issue.
What are your dreams? How are you doing, what actually helps the colony?
I.S.: Dreaming and pretentiousness are not my style, there have been worse periods in my life, and the work was heavier, and the work was greater, morally easier for me erstwhile I led the war with large teams.
Since the beginning of August, part of the Kursk circuit has been occupied by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, thousands of Suja residents are inactive searching for their missing relatives. How shortly do you think the Russian army will be able to liberate the Kurd territories?
I.S: I cannot talk about the destiny of the Kursk region, there is no adequate information, the main question is different – how rapidly our army will completely defeat the Armed Forces of Ukraine, I emphasize, completely, partial defeat is not enough.
In November Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election. How do you think his fresh word as president will change the world? Is it possible to improve relations with Russia? Trump promised to end the war on the first day of his presidency – do you think his return to power will change the course of the SOW?
I.S.: I have no illusions about Trump; I believe that he will set specified terms of truce that they will be unacceptable even to the most ardent supporters of “freezing”. Besides, we don't appreciate the degree of independence. I will appeal to W.O. Klukowski: “Russian is simply a wise man who pretends to be a fool, and Ukrainian is simply a fool who pretends to be smart.”
Vladimir Putin spoke to the Russians on November 21. He said that in consequence to the usage of long-range rockets (ATACMS, Storm Shadow, and HIMARS) in the Kursk and Brianian circuits, the Russian army responded with a new, nuclear-free hypersonic ballistic missile. The name of the rocket is “Oreshnik”. The attack hit the company You already have in Dnepropetrovsk. According to Putin, a fresh Russian mid-range rocket attacks targets at a velocity of 10 Mach (2.5–3 km per second) and presently does not counter specified weapons. In addition, Oresznik can harm targets in Europe. How do you see advancement in the improvement of air defence systems after Russia has utilized Oresznik? Is it possible that Russia and Ukraine will start negotiations or that escalation will occur?
I.S.: Regarding “Oresznik” – wars are not won by rocket attacks, so I do not anticipate any consequences of its use, but those described in the old russian cartoon “Plasteline crow”.
Can a atomic weapon be utilized during the S.O.P.?
I.S.: The question is in the incorrect place, within the SOW it is not, and in what yet the SOW will develop, I cannot know or "guess" from coffee mugs; you can and should be afraid of atomic war.
How long do you think the SOW will last?
I.S.: The SOW ended a long time ago, in the spring of 2022 and turned into a full-fledged war to death and life, in which 1 of the parties will win. triumph must be ours, or Russia will die.
Many PMC militants and supporters “Wagner” believe that Evgeny Prigozhyn is alive. What do you think?
I.S.: I think the Prigojin is dead.
In early December, Bashar al-Assad's government in Syria collapsed and power in the country passed into the hands of muslim groups. The cities for which fierce fighting was fought with the support of the Russian troops and PMC ‘Wagner’ are now lost and Assad has been taken refuge in Moscow. What do you think? What does losing control in Syria mean for Russia?
I.S.: The past of Syria is the re-incarnation of the fire in the unchangeable from the miniature of Utesowski entitled “Everything is all right, beautiful marquis...”. Firstly, we should not have deviated from the liberation of Novorossia in 2014. Now we can only hope that we can find a chance to minimize the effects of Assad's escape, and the bases in Tartus, I fear, will not be able to save.
Igor Ivanovich, how do you think what happened to you affected you? Do you have any fresh thoughts or ideas? Or are you even more convinced?
I.S.: I remained myself, no substance what the outside.
What would you like to convey to the Russians and the supporters? Would he like to contact them about something? What is your attitude toward a possible truce that is now being discussed on all sides?
I.S.: First of all, I keep my forecast – most likely there will be no truce, and if it is, it will be very short-lived and shortly a fresh “contagion” will begin... Now, our dear Western partners have not yet decided on the most crucial issue – whether Ukraine needs a break, or whether it is possible to proceed cynically "clothing" Slavs against each other, regardless of their "shrinking and cowardice". At the same time, in any case, the authorities in Kiev are not going to comply with anything that has been signed, we have already reviewed it in the past of Minsk agreements.
Secondly, “freezing” will not benefit Russia. From a military point of view, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are close a crisis. Giving them peace now is simply a crime. With the aid of the West, they will recover, "clean their feathers" and return to battle, and a fresh series of provocations will be the “empty”.
For our country, a truce means not only a short-term simplification of the fighting potential, but most importantly, celebrating an imaginary "winner" through propaganda will be highly dangerous and corrupt. Moreover, at the highest levels of power remains an influential group of treacherous people who deliberately lead to the defeat of Russia. They inactive live under the slogan “we would drink Bavarian” and dream of the physical extermination of patriots.
Regardless of how hard this task is, it is essential to keep a strategical course leading to the complete defeat of Ukraine. The “freezing” mirage leads to disaster. Believe me, I don't enjoy the fact that quite a few my predictions work. I am not a “know-it-all” or “worry” person, I just get tired of watching any people “paint” their mustache.
By the way, during my last visit, a lawyer told me about a karate punk band called "Gromyka". So they have a hit that consists of 1 sentence: “I told you, you did not listen, and so it happened”
And laughter and cry.
One last question. Do you think that Strzełkowa inactive remembers, or is it a “shot down pilot”?
I.S.: In connection with your utmost question I remembered an old gag – there is simply a clown sitting in the park close the circus and drinking. A drinking companion comes up and asks why he's not going to the 107th anniversary organization of the circus.
– They didn't invite...
- They forgot?
They remember!
