What Is The General Manifesto of the Russian National Republican Army (NRA)?

 Well....off social media, this is the wording:

"We declare President Putin a usurper of power and a war criminal who amended the Constitution, unleashed a fratricidal war between the Slavic peoples and sent Russian soldiers to certain and senseless death. Poverty and coffins for some, palaces for others – the essence of his policy. 

We believe that disenfranchised people have the right to rebel against tyrants. Putin will be deposed and destroyed by us! 

Our goal is to stop the destruction of Russia and its neighbors, to stop the activities of a handful of Kremlin businessmen who have sucked on the wealth of our people and are committing crimes today inside and outside the country. 

We call on those who are ready to fight to follow our example and overthrow this inhuman, hypocritical and anti-people regime! 

We consider it unacceptable that Russians have begun to be defamed all over the world because of war crimes committed by those who have neither nationality nor fatherland, and who love only money and power. 

The world is not an enemy of Russia, and Russia is not an enemy of humanity, and we will prove this by deeds. 

We will give protection to all who follow our call. All those who carry out our program up to the change of regime are exempted from the responsibility provided for by the laws of the usurper. 

After our victory, we will immediately release all those illegally convicted by the Putin authorities. 

We will give freedom to all the peoples inhabiting Russia and build a new society - a society without oligarchs, without corruption, without arbitrary officials, without humiliating poverty. 

A society in which everyone is rewarded according to their work. Society without wars and violence. 

A society in which power will belong to the people, where citizens will choose their own leaders and organize the life of their cities and villages themselves. 

A society in which the rulers will not be able to sacrifice human lives for their own greatness, but will think about education, medicine and scientific progress. A society in which everyone will be proud that he was born on the territory of Russia and will want to live in it! 

Long live Free Russia! Wherever you are - fight like us, fight with us, fight better than us! 

Let's cleanse our Motherland from filth! Victory will be ours.

So, my BS-meter?  It's up near a '8'.  

First, it puts up the wording of being nationalistic in nature.  Then, there are various elements of socialism sprinkled around this.  So...yeah, it sound Nationalist-Socialist in nature.....and that leads to some Nazi-chatter.

It just sounds like a bunch of Putin propaganda thugs....who took the original script of Nazis in the Ukraine....built a new script for Moscow, and is playing out a another whole drama on the side.

Second, it does hint that the Oligarch 'crew' is part of the problem (not just Putin).

Third?  If it wasn't so nationalistic in writing, I'd say it was a group of older Commie guys who've survived the past thirty years and want a dramatic return to power like it was in the 1980s.
