​The language of hostility, which is difficult for the civilized world to digest, was spread by Vladen Tatarsky in his Telegram channel, followed by more than half a million Russians. HotNews.ro made a brief analysis of the “professional activities” of the vlogger who died during the explosion in St. Petersburg.

You can’t help but wonder what Russians are thinking who follow military vloggers like Vladen Tatarsky and indulge in hate speech you’re unlikely to find on this planet in 2023.

The intrusion into the world of Tatarsky (real name Maxim Fomin), who died a few days ago after an explosion in a restaurant in St. Petersburg, is simply shocking.

HotNews.ro analyzed the video blogger’s Telegram channel, which has almost 570,000 subscribers, and some posts have been viewed by more than a million.

For the most part, the purpose of these posts was to justify the necessity of Russia’s war in Ukraine.

The latest posts are written by a new page admin. For example, I found an appeal to Vladimir Putin thanking him for posthumously awarding the video blogger the Order of Courage.

The last thing that Tatarsky managed to publish was actually a repost from another Telegram channel about the alleged preparation of the Ukrainian military for a counteroffensive. The post was made on April 2 at 4 p.m.

The last text, written by Tatarsky himself, also at 4:00 p.m., was accompanied by an image of a recruitment poster for the “Wagner” group.

“Moscow. It’s nice to see such outdoor advertising. I also saw “Wagner” billboards in Rostov. But in many cities these signs are still missing. I hope the reason is that they just didn’t have time to place the order,” Tatarsky wrote.

In the last days of his life, the vlogger made several posts about the course of the war, but one of them stands out for its horror.

It is about a video where “Wagner” fighters from Bakhmut humiliate a prisoner who seems to be no longer alive. One of them plays the violin and hits the prisoner on the head with his bow, much to the amusement of the others in the room. Another tugs at his ear.

Wagner’s fighters, who wear hoods over their faces (presumably so that they are not recognized by the captive’s colleagues), in this video say that he is a Georgian citizen who fought in Bakhmut, in the International Legion of Ukraine, and that now “he must listen to Wagner’s orchestra.”

Editor’s note. We contacted a Georgian from the International Legion in Ukraine, who said that the prisoner was actually a local resident of Bakhmut, so he was not a militant, he was tortured and probably killed.

What other horrors does Tatarsky show in his Telegram channel

On Tatarsky’s channel there was a daily column in video format “Evening Vladlen”, which the author himself advertised as “the most important military show in the country.” Each of the recordings lasted about three minutes and was filmed in the “selfie” format.

In the last video, made a day before his death, Vladlen Tatarsky talked about the death of a legionnaire in Bakhmut.

“Good news: a “rooster” with the call sign “Majahed” was eliminated near Bakhmut.

“He was a Belarusian schizophrenic who was either a Nazi or a member of ISIS. Both of these currents are directly related to hidden homosexuality, and sometimes to open homosexuality. It was the same with “Mujahed”. It is enough to look at the photo of his commander. But I’m not even going to tell you what’s in the photo,” said the video blogger.

Regarding the situation in Bakhmut, Tatarsky noted that “Wagner” fighters break records for “killing Khahols” (not Ukrainians), which he considers very “cool”.

Speaking about what is happening in the “Pechersk Lavra” monastery in Kyiv, Tatarskyi said that: “Ukraine is a demonic state. For everyone who believes that it is not necessary to speak against Ukraine, that Ukraine and fascists are two different things: Guys, you are degenerates, you are finished people, you are just people without eyes. We should have taken a radical position a long time ago, having no other option,” Tatarsky concluded.

From the editor: Kyiv authorities have ordered the evacuation of monks from the nearly 1,000-year-old Lavra monastery complex, as they belong to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which has remained loyal to the Russian Church.

In another entry dated March 31, Tatarsky claims that the fiercest battles between Russia and Ukraine, which will be final, will begin after Easter.

“There will be tough battles with these pigs. They will ride like pigs, like their spiritual ancestors, the Teutonic Knights, with all their equipment from the West. We still need this victory, we won’t have another chance,” said the video blogger.

In the same video, Tatarsky also mentioned the Ukrainian language, which, according to him, does not exist.

“Today there was a discussion on the Internet about whether Ukrainians (they don’t – and they live in Russia) should learn the Ukrainian language. Of course not. On a personal level, anyone who wants to can learn any language.

But the Russian state is not obliged to allocate money for this. That is, we should not spend money if some bastard wants to learn the Ukrainian language for his own strange reasons. This one should not. This is not the language of the Internet or technical language. This is the language of table songs. No one needs this language. This is a language from folklore,” said Tatarsky.

In another recording from March 30, Tatarsky talks to the church in the background and expresses the hope that the situation at the front will soon change and the Russians will face the Gahols in a decisive battle.

“Big events will begin very soon. Many people write to me that I promised grandiose events after the New Year, but nothing happened. Yes, guys, it happens, plans change. But not this time.

Patriots from the south, from what is still called Ukraine, write about the transfer of “roosters” to Kherson, Luhansk, near Kharkiv. Thus, grandiose events await us, in which we will have to participate.

Brothers and sisters, pray for us so that the Lord will help us to organize everything correctly,” said the blogger.

Tatarsky used such rhetoric in most of his Telegram posts. Another topic that the video blogger has repeatedly written about concerns the “Azov” battalion, which he predictably considers a “Nazi organization.”
