On Russian state television, there is merrily being dished out against NATO, Germany and last but not least against Ukraine.
This time it is about President Zelenskyj in a drastic choice of words.
Munich/Moscow - They are the TV voices of Moscow ruler Vladimir Putin: propagandists on Russian state television who put up confused theses in the Ukraine war and are supposed to help justify the Russian invasion of the western neighbor in the population.
And: You reach many people in the huge country with its 144 million inhabitants.
Vladimir Putin: His TV agitators are dishing out attacks on the West and Ukraine
First and foremost is the Russian journalist and Putin's number one TV agitator, Vladimir Solovyov.
Just one example: In June he railed against Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) and the German Air Force chief, Lieutenant General Ingo Gerhartz, and asked about the “air defense of Berlin”.
However, he is not alone in his diatribes.
Entire programs revolve around casting a bad light on Ukraine and the West.
Now the next example followed - in a particularly drastic choice of words.
This is reported on Twitter by Julia Davis, a journalist and columnist for the online portal
The Daily Beast

"Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, claimed that Russia's war is not against the Ukrainian people, but against their government," Davis wrote in her tweet. including President Zelenskyy.” Along with the tweet, she posted a clip from a program with political scientist Mikhail Markelov.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy: Russian TV guest calls for the death of the Ukrainian president
He publicly called for nothing less than the death of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
And not only from him.
“Zelenskyj will never sign a surrender in any way whatsoever.
That much is clear.
We should seriously consider liquidating the Nazi leadership of this country," says Markelov: "Not only Zelenskyy and his inner circle, but the entire Verkhovna Rada (
the Parliament of Ukraine, ed
.).
And the government that commits total genocide against its own people.
That should be our number one target, just as terrorists are the number one target for Israel.
They destroyed them all over the world.”

To put things in context: the alleged genocide of the pro-Russian separatists and the comparison with the Nazis are stylistic devices that the propagandists tried a lot that the West has not yet been able to verify.
Markelow, whose interpretation contradicts essential technical criteria of science, talked himself into a rage in a loud voice on state television.

“This is the way we should destroy criminal Nazis.
It's no use bringing them to court and chasing them all over Ukraine.
Our goal is to liberate this country from the Nazis and enable normal, peaceful life there," he said, according to Davis' translation: "No one is fighting for Ukraine today, there are no such people.
Even the common people see this, a sadly disintegrated country ruled by an inadequate regime.”
When Markelow was obviously unstoppable, the moderator interrupted him - and put up a confused thesis herself.
"We will patch it up (
the country of Ukraine, ed.
), medically treat those who should get help," she said, according to the translation: "And the rest of them should live in Poland."
