Кто бы что ни думал скажу парадоксальную вещь! Максим Шингаркин

Overview

The speaker argues that Russia has been (and/or is being) subjected to ongoing “coup d’état” processes aimed at ultimately dismantling the country. They claim this is not a single, one-time event, but a continuous transformation that happens “every day.”

Key Claims and Analysis

No legal accountability / selective silence around Chubais

• The speaker asserts there is “no criminal case” and no active order to bring Anatoly Chubais back.
• They claim key figures avoid investigating him.
• They contrast this alleged lack of accountability with Chubais’s alleged political importance.

A long-term plan of fragmentation

• The speaker claims the goal is to break the Russian Federation into new state entities, potentially not aligned with existing administrative borders.
• Examples given include:
  • creating new structures in western regions,
  • making the Caucasus independent,
  • splitting the Far East,
  • dividing the Urals,
  • establishing “external control.”
• They describe the approach as “cutting across” borders rather than following them.

Chubais as a “tool” of external/third forces, with limited personal agency

• Chubais is framed as not an independent political actor, but a functional instrument (“strings,” “drive belt”).
• The speaker connects this to forces allegedly planning regime change.
• They link those forces to a broader narrative of the Soviet collapse and a shift from socialism to capitalism.

State property and a legal/administrative paradox

• The speaker claims that despite privatization outcomes, everything inside Russia remains, in an abstract sense, “socialist property.”
• They argue the state could convert assets quickly into “Russian property” if it chose to.
• This is presented as evidence that large private holdings may be politically reversible rather than fully legitimate.

“Coup d’état” since 1993 and extra-constitutional power

• The speaker argues the 1993 political settlement created a presidential republic using mechanisms beyond the constitution.
• They cite the formation of the presidential administration with special powers.
• Chubais is depicted as central to creating and/or expanding this administrative structure.

Personnel networks and control of regional/economic power “grids”

• The speaker emphasizes building a “personnel reserve,” recruiting and promoting officials from aligned political networks (especially those linked to the “Union of Right Forces”).
• They accuse the system of training and placing governors/mayors through channels that allegedly contradict the constitutional idea of elections.

Continuity of beneficiaries from the USSR to modern Russia

• The argument is that individuals connected to the USSR’s destruction and the privatization era remained within the governing apparatus, changing roles and labels.
• Officials are described as “light oligarchs”—state officials with money and influence.

Development money lost and innovations sent abroad

• The speaker claims development funds were diverted or “gobbled up.”
• They allege promising research was dismantled or demotivated.
• They claim valuable know-how was transferred to the West.
• They cite approximately $100 billion in “negative results,” framed as corresponding to roughly $2 billion in development losses.

Rosnano, Rosatom, and misdirection of high-tech

• The speaker contrasts:
  • Rosnano (described as a place where development resources allegedly vanished with little outcome),
  • with Rosatom (asserted to have gained exceptions or deals).
• They argue that supercomputers and related spending are used for questionable or performative purposes rather than genuine modernization, and not for achieving real weapon-test parity with global standards.

Conclusion: a third coup with complete political enclosure

• The speaker describes a later-stage operation in which, as Nemtsov is portrayed as the main alternative, people seeking activism allegedly ended up inside the same network (SPS).
• They conclude that, despite the appearance of sovereignty, the system continues operating as a controlled structure.
