No one is immune from the Kremlin’s revenge, as the case of Alexei Navalny shows. Four compatriots are also listed as enemies of the state by Putin’s secret service.
Kremlin czar Vladimir Putin is currently looking for a total of 95,994 dissidents.
Putin is looking for the head of the Estonian government
For example, prominent politicians such as Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas are at the top of the revenge list. She caused an uproar in Russia for campaigning for the removal of Soviet-era monuments in the Baltic country.
Nearly a third of the people sought are Russian citizens, followed by about 10,000 Armenians and an equal number of Uzbeks.
Four local citizens
But of course the Kremlin’s long arm also extends to Central Europe. The “Krone” examined the data published by the exiled Russian news portal “Mediazona” and found a total of four local citizens.
A CB born in 1969 (name known to the editors) is mentioned, as well as an AM born in Australia who now has the red-white-red nationality.
Accusation: Fought for Ukraine as foreign mercenaries
Furthermore, two compatriots appear under the name “Rybar”. They are accused by the state of fighting for Ukraine as foreign mercenaries. Eleven foreigners currently living in Austria are also listed as ‘enemies’. The list ranges from an Armenian in Styria to the bearer of a dragon tattoo in Lower Austria.
The monument in front of the Russian embassy in Vienna is growing
Meanwhile, there was a constant coming and going on Saturday afternoon in front of the Russian embassy in Vienna, where members of the Russian community have been commemorating Navalny with a makeshift monument since Friday. Sometimes there were up to twenty people present at the same time on Reisnerstrasse, some of whom had also hung posters with very expressive criticism of Kremlin boss Vladimir Putin and his regime on a construction fence.
In contrast to a spontaneous demonstration on Friday afternoon, during which loud slogans against Putin were chanted, the silent memory of the opposition politician dominated on Saturday afternoon. Many, especially younger Russians, had tears in their eyes, leaving flowers on the sidewalk and hanging grave lights.
