In October, Semen Pegov accused “generals and individual military commanders” of compiling a “blacklist” of Russian media bloggers, whom the Ministry of Defense wants to prosecute for “discrediting” the work of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and the Russian special operation in Ukraine.

The Russian news aggregator Mash reported on October 14 that the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Federation Valery Gerasimov personally signed an order to investigate the famous Russian media blogger Igor Girkin (also known as Igor Strelkov), Semyon Pegov (WarGonzo) and Roskomnadzor. , Yuriy Podoliaka, Vladlen Tatarskyi, Serhiy Mardan, Igor Dimitriev, Kristina Potupchyk and the authors of Telegram channels GreyZone and Rybar.

Famous after the virus

Pegov, who is sometimes quoted as Too Western or ISW, became famous after a video clip that quite clearly shows how Russian propaganda works.

In the clip, Pegov prepares to record, looks at the operator of the anti-aircraft gun installed on the truck behind him, waves to him, and he nods approvingly.

Pegov then starts filming the intervention and the cameraman starts firing from the anti-aircraft gun to create a background suitable for a military video clip.
