A special operation is made ridiculous in terms of content and form, mainly because of the objects confiscated by the authorities.
The sequence looks like something out of a bad action movie. This Monday, as the Russian invasion of Ukraine began more than two months ago, Moscow released a video showing Spetsnaz, members of the Russian police’s special intervention group, intervened at a Moscow apartment to arrest several people. According to the official version, the latter, neo-Nazis paid by the Ukrainian security services, were planning an attack on the pro-Kremlin TV presenter Vladimir Soloviev.

But the operation, organized and filmed by the FSB, the Russian secret service, the direct successor to the KGB, sounds false. From the first seconds of the video, instead of using force and surprising the occupants, we can see a police officer knocking on the door, which opens almost immediately. There the person in the apartment seemed to be waiting behind the door as warned.
The loot seized by the authorities during the search also causes a stir. Explosives, drugs, new Ukrainian passports, a portrait of Adolf Hitler, a T-shirt with the Nazi swastika and a copy of Mein Kampf, the perfect neo-Nazi inventory were confiscated, perfect for all to see. The book emblazoned a dedication with an “unclear signature,” as if the intelligence services had taken at face value a tip urging them to sign illegibly.
Even more surprising is that several boxes of the famous game The Sims were confiscated. There, several hypotheses are put forward by specialists. The first would be that it’s a snub to the hated western culture, an extension of this game that was banned in Russian territory last February for its LGBT content. On the other hand, the agents responsible for this scene had confused a cell phone SIM card with the game of the same name.

disinformation
As in the heyday of the Soviet-style kompromat, this disinformation is being made here to feed Russian propaganda and the special military operation still underway in Ukraine, by the Kremlin’s name. Since the conflict began last February, Vladimir Putin had used the term “denazification” of Ukraine to justify his military intervention. The “discovery” of these nationalist objects is therefore a godsend for the Kremlin.
For his part, Vladimir Soloviev has little idea why Ukraine wants him dead. According to him, this is a direct revenge on President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who he says was fired from his TV station in the past when he was looking for a job.
