The most famous official planted by the Russians in the Kherson Region, Kyrylo Stremousov, declares in a delirious video message that Bucharest, and the whole world, is Russian land.
“I see mountains and valleys. I see rivers and fields. These are the expanses of Russia, this is my Motherland. I see Prague and Warsaw, Budapest and Bucharest. This is a Russian nation. How many favorite places are there!” – exclaims Stremousov.
“I see pagodas in Sri Lanka, I see Korea and China. Where I go in a tank, there is all my beloved land! I see the Amazon River, I also see crocodiles! This is Russian land, this is my Motherland! The pyramids are located nearby, the water-rich Nile flows, washing the Russian coast. My Russians, I am proud of you!” – continued the official planted by the Russians in the occupied territories of the Kherson region in the south of Ukraine.

“I see Washington in the valley, I see Dallas and Texas! How nice it is here in Russia to drink delicious kvass (not fermented drink made from rye or rye bread)! The sun rises further [orașului] Sydney, the platypus swims in the pond! The anthem starts playing from the loudspeaker! I will start my day with the Russian national anthem!” he exclaims euphorically.
No: at the end of August, it was the national anthem of Ukraine that sounded in Crimea after Ukrainian pirates hijacked the air of the peninsula’s main radio station, Radio Crimea.
“Look at the Indians smoking a pipe and offering it to me,” Stremousov declares as a swastika flag is visible behind him, a symbol that has a different meaning in India than it does in Europe and the West.
“The whole world loves Russians in my homeland,” the Russian official concluded his message.
“It’s truly one of the strangest things I’ve ever seen,” BBC journalist Francis Scarr said of the video.
A day ago, one of the most prominent media commentators in Russia spoke about the broadcast of a video on Russian television that left him “speechless”, proof that Russian propaganda is reaching new heights.
Who is Kyrylo Stremousov?
Despite the fact that he is only the deputy head of the administration established by the Russian troops to invade Kherson, Stremousov is much better known even to the Russian public than his direct boss, Volodymyr Saldo, thanks to numerous video messages published on his Telegram channel, statements. provided to state media in Russia and interventions on Russian television.
In addition, Saldo was transferred to a hospital in Moscow on suspicion of poisoning in early August, and Stremousov remained the de facto leader of the Russian occupiers of Kherson just as the Ukrainian armed forces began to carry out numerous airstrikes in the region, which received HIMARS from the United States.
It was Stremousov who announced to the Russian press on July 27 that the strategic Antoniv bridge over the Dnipro had been closed due to Ukrainian attacks, and on August 22 he complained that the Ukrainians had hit him again, just as it was being repaired.
The video, released by Stremousov on his Telegram channel, went viral, including on Russian social networks, and was widely ridiculed for filming on August 30, a day after the Ukrainian press announced the start of the long-awaited counteroffensive in the south of the country. country, a clip in which he talks about the “useless” attack by Ukrainians, and the church in the background shows that he is actually in Russia.
Stray messages of a Russian official
Later, in early October, when the Ukrainian army managed to break through the Russian front in Kherson at several points and advance tens of kilometers in one day after more than a month of fierce fighting from static positions, Stremousov filmed himself with the Antonivskyi Bridge behind him. to show that he had not fled the region.
In mid-September, as Russian defenders tried to defend their fortifications in the region, Stremousov tried to support them, warning that the Ukrainians were “ready to eat our children” if they succeeded in retaking the territory.
Stremousov also stated live on the Rossiya-1 channel in early October that Russian troops are actually advancing when they are retreating.
Most recently, a few days ago, he explained on his Telegram channel that the evacuation of civilians from Kherson, which was requested by Volodymyr Saldo, his boss, who returned to his post after being discharged from the hospital, is actually a “vacation” in Russia. .
“To avoid casualties among the civilian population of the Kherson region during the “clearing” of the territory [de forțele armate ucrainene]the administration of the Kherson region strongly recommends taking advantage of the possibility of a humanitarian trip to the Russian Federation for rest and recovery,” he said last Friday.
His comments came just a day after Saldo called on Moscow to organize the evacuation of civilians from the Kherson region, where he heads the occupation administration, due to Ukrainian strikes.
“Take your children and leave,” he urged the people of Kherson in his statement published on social networks.
