- Ilya Remeslo, known for his pro-Kremlin views, criticized Vladimir Putin and ended up in a mental hospital, which may be part of a planned action.

Pro-Kremlin blogger Ilya Remeslo recently criticized Vladimir Putin and later ended up in a mental hospital. This is likely a specially prepared action.
Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister and diplomat Volodymyr Ogryzko told Channel 24 that someone wanted to show that part of Putin's entourage was not happy with what was happening. However, it is currently unknown who exactly came up with the idea.
Why is this beneficial for Ukraine?
Volodymyr Ogryzko suggested that certain movements are currently unfolding around Putin. This could be an internal quarrel. As of now, it is unknown how it will end.
It is known that Ilya Remeslo has always supported Putin and spread Kremlin propaganda. Therefore, his post criticizing the Russian dictator may indicate a planned story.
My version is that this is a prepared story that was given the opportunity to publish by such a crazy, half-crazy or not crazy Z-blogger. In order to show that part of Putin's entourage is not happy with what is happening. Because it is impossible to see any goals here,
– the diplomat believes.
It is difficult to say now whether this is the right-wing radical part that wants even more blood, or the pseudo-liberal-democratic part that simply wants an end to the war and the restoration of contacts with the West.
“This is a sign that certain movements are beginning around Putin. This is an unambiguous conclusion. So, it is good for Ukraine if a quarrel begins there inside,” the former Foreign Minister emphasized.
Interestingly , former SBU employee Ivan Stupak suggested why z-blogger Remeslo spoke out against Putin. He voiced two versions. The first is that Ilya Remeslo was raising funds, giving links to crypto wallets that are not working. People believe that this is a reason. The second is that Remeslo's parents work in mental hospitals, so they made up this story so that he would be taken to the hospital to protect him from the fate of Prigozhin or Girkin.
What did Ilya Remeslo say?
-
Ilya Remeslo is known as a consistent supporter of the so-called head of the Kremlin. However, on March 17, he spoke out against Putin and published a post titled “Five reasons why I stopped supporting Vladimir Putin.” One of the reasons he cited was Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which, he said, “took 1-2 million lives” and is currently continuing “exclusively because of Putin's complexes.”

In particular, Remeslo criticized Putin's long rule. He stated that he “does not respect” his voters. According to him, the president needs “endless wars in which his children and relatives do not participate, not the Internet and high salaries.” Therefore, the blogger concluded that “Putin is not a legitimate president,” therefore “he must resign and stand trial as a war criminal and a thief.”

On March 19, Remeslo ended up in a psychiatric hospital in St. Petersburg, which specializes in men with newly diagnosed psychotic disorders. Before that, the blogger did not answer calls and messages from journalists.
