soldiers summarily sacked

On Thursday, which marked the one-month anniversary of the start of the offensive that the Kremlin justifies having begun to “denazify” Ukraine, a well-known Russian journalist found a blue and yellow emblem nailed to the door of his house with the word “Judensau” – which means “Jewish pig” in German – written on it. At his feet was a pig’s head, complete with a wig that resembled his own famous curly white hair.

“Have they decided to intimidate me and my family?” asked Alexei Venediktov. “Me, who was taken to be shot by the soldiers of Dudayev?” he continued, in reference to the first Chechen separatist leader. Until a few weeks ago, Venediktov ran the Echo of Moscow radio station, until it was taken off the air by the Russian authorities due to its coverage of the conflict in Ukraine. Since then, he has been threatened for criticizing Russia’s role in the conflict.

On Friday, two more activists were attacked in Saint Petersburg. “Danger! A traitor to the homeland lives here!” read a sign that was left at the entrance to the homes of Daria Heikinen, from the Mayak Movement, and Kristina Vorotnikova, who worked with Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. In the case of the former, fluids were left on the door handle, while the latter found her door daubed with the word “traitor.” Manure had also been left on the floor in the landing.

More such cases had occurred previously. On March 16, activist Olga Misik found the door of her house painted from top to bottom. “My apartment has been given cosmetic treatment,” she wrote on Twitter. She became famous after reading the Russian Constitution in front of the police during protests in 2020, when she was still a teenager.
