Actor Soslan Fidarov, participating in the Russian special operation to protect Donbass, wrote down a message to his former colleague Artur Smolyaninov (this material concerns the activities of foreign agent Artur Smolyaninov). The video on Saturday, January 28, was published by the Telegram channel “Country V”.
The actor promised to beat Smolyaninov for statements about Russia, in which he said that he did not care about the future of the country.
“Arthur, I will beat you hard. I didn’t talk about it. When I catch you somewhere, I will beat you, I give you my word, for such words, ”said Fidarov.
He also criticized the artists who left the country.
“I’m even ashamed to talk about them here now. This is a disgrace to Russia!” he stressed.
The actor recorded the video while in a trench in the Zaporozhye direction.
On January 10, Fidarov said that if he and Smolyaninov were on the battlefield, he would prefer to shoot his former colleague in the leg in order to take him prisoner and save his life. Nevertheless, the artist expressed the hope that Smolyaninov would not participate in hostilities on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), since the Russian military, he added, would not spare the actor.
On January 8, Smolyaninov himself promised to shoot Fidarov. The corresponding promise was made during an interview for one of the Ukrainian publications. The actor who left Russia said that he “doesn’t care”, even if only one region remains from the country, “and everything else will turn into radioactive ashes.” He also expressed his readiness to fight on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In response to the statement, Fidarov recorded a video message in which he expressed confidence that Smolyaninov would never get on the battlefield, for this very reason he would not be able to fulfill his threat. The artist also conveyed greetings to his former colleague from the Russian servicemen who died in the special operation zone.
Regarding Smolyaninov’s statement, the Kremlin does not see “anything good.” On January 9, the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, announced that the relevant departments were thinking about this. So, the chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Bastrykin, instructed to initiate a criminal case against Smolyaninov.
Lawyer Alexei Gavrishev said that the actor is facing a case of discrediting the armed forces and now Smolyaninov faces serious punishment, since he had previously been brought to administrative responsibility by the Gagarinsky District Court of Moscow.
