Hmm Hypocrisy 101.
I'm hateful but anyone who calls out my hate is truly hateful.
Wonder how long it will be before they all start coming down with monkeypox.
Russian politician who publicly opposed his country's invasion of Ukraine, has reportedly been detained at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Viktor Kamenshchikov, was a Communist Party member who served as a deputy at the Vladivostok Duma (Parliament) in the administrative center of the Primorsky region in Russia's far east.
RIA Novosti reported that a source informed the Russian state news agency that Kamenshchikov had been arrested, although "it is not yet known for what exactly, presumably for an illegal border crossing."
The report did not specify where he was detained and Newsweek has contacted U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for comment.

So a Russian commie was arrested trying to illegally cross a border. Hmm problems with illegals crossing wonder if there is a link.
Was a Communist Party member.
RIA said that Kamenshchikov had not appeared at Duma meetings since the end of February when he publicly opposed the invasion of Ukraine known in Russia as a "special military operation."
A Duma source told the newspaper Kommersant "we have no information over where he is now."
On February 27, Kamenshchikov, aged 31, filed an application to leave the Communists after his party recognized the independence of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics
He said, according to Kommersant, "I do not agree with the position of the party leadership" in its support for the "military operations in Ukraine and the use of Russian troops on the territory of a neighboring state."
"I am against war in principle," he added.
In a March 5 interview with sibreal.org, he claimed that politicians, including those from his party, deceived deputies into voting for a military invasion.
He said that Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov and the ultra-nationalist Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LPDR) leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky— who died after a reportedly long illness on April 6—knew about Vladimir Putin's war plans in advance.

>"resigned from the Communist Party as a protest" … the Communist Party of Russia is an opposition party, anti-Putin
It would appear that the Russian Communists back Putin's operation to defeat the natzees, and why wouldn't they. After all the Ruskie commies fought Shitler.
