Now, however, Girkin is being accused of “public calls for extremist activities” online, Russian state news agencies reported. On Friday evening, he appeared in a Moscow court at a pretrial hearing where investigators asked that he be jailed for two months.Article content “Recently, after the events of June 24 of this year, Igor consistently sought condemnation at the state level of the actions of an illegal armed group – PMC ‘Wagner’ and the activities of its leader Prigozhin, and received open threats for this,” the statement said.
Activists of the ‘Club of Angry Patriots’ nationalist group pose outside the Meshchansky Court during a hearing to consider a request on the pre-trial arrest of Igor Girkin.In addition to permitting their criticism, Putin even granted some top pro-war commentators several personal meetings to hear their grievances. But the case against Girkin signals that the Kremlin’s tolerance may have worn out.
Girkin also directly accused Putin of indecisiveness, and he criticized the president’s increasing absence from the public eye and the country’s poor performance on the battlefield. “The country will not survive another six years with this cowardly mediocrity in power,” Girkin wrote. “And the only useful thing he could do ‘before the end’ is to ensure the transfer of power to someone truly capable and responsible.”
