Key points of the future speech by Member of the Executive Council of the Congress of People’s Deputies Ilya Ponomarev at the 6th Free Nations of PostRussia Forum April 25-28 in the USA
The Putin system must be destroyed, the Russian Federation dissolved
The Congress of People’s Deputies allocates 2 years of a transitional period for de-imperialization, denazification, demilitarization of the country, wide lustration and prosecution of war criminals, after which the state must be restarted
During this time, each national republic, each region will have to decide whether it participates in the establishment of a new state instead of the Russian Federation or not. The right of nations to self-determination is an unshakable principle; whoever wants it gains independence, whoever wants integration in one form or another participates in a new federal treaty
Deconstruction of the Putin regime and removal of its representatives on the regions by peaceful means is impossible. In order to obtain legitimacy – national and regional movements shall now take part in the fight on the side of Ukraine, as the Russians do in the Legion “Freedom of Russia” and the Russian Volunteer Corps, as well as the Ichkerians in the Chechen battalions, or as the Bashkirs do in the “Bashkort” unit. I call on other national movements to join the liberation struggle of the Ukrainians, which in the final stage will turn into a struggle for the liberation of Russia and the formation of a new governments both in Moscow and in the regions
