Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev spoke at the congress of the ruling United Russia party in Moscow’s Megasport arena on Khodynka Field with a sharp message for citizens who, after leaving the country, wish Russia defeat in the war against Ukraine. According to his statement, such people should not rely on the possibility of returning to their homeland. aktuality.sk ↗
Medvedev’s remarks came as part of the campaign ahead of parliamentary elections, which are to be held from September 18 to 20. The speech had a mobilizing character and was aimed mainly at a domestic audience supporting the ruling party. In it, the former Russian president and prime minister hardened his rhetoric toward Russians who left the country after the start of the war or during it and publicly opposed the Kremlin’s policy.

News article headlines also used terms describing these people as defectors and pests, reflecting the harsh tone of Medvedev’s speech. The essence of his message was that citizens who, in his view, stand against their own country should not expect the right to an unproblematic return. teraz.sk ↗
The statements fit into the broader pre-election rhetoric of Russian officials, in which the war against Ukraine is linked to loyalty to the state. Similar themes are expected to be part of the ruling party’s campaign until the September vote.
