Hardline Russian nationalist Igor Girkin was detained and charged with extremism on Friday morning.
launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Girkin has been witheringly critical of the way Moscow has handled the war. He has repeatedly called for a general mobilization of the Russian population to avoid the invasion ending in failure, and has even called for Russian Defense Ministerto be executed by firing squad. Like other ultra-nationalists, Girkin has also backed the idea of using tactical nuclear weapons.
Possibly his most serious misstep, however, was launching a new pro-war nationalist party in Russia in March. His so-called “Club of Angry Patriots” said it viewed Putin as the only real guarantor of stability in Russia, but Girkin believed continued battlefield failures in Ukraine could lead to the collapse of the Russian state.interview in May, Girkin said a “systemic crisis is brewing in Russia.
When asked specifically if he thought it was naive that he could launch his new opposition party without the assent of the Kremlin, Girkin answered: “I do hope you would not call me a naive person.” He added that Putin’s removal from power would precipitate “the collapse of Russia.”
