Lunin, the soldier who warned about the army’s march on the Kremlin, boasted about his new car

“Now I have a working horse, a service car. The team of Vitaly Borodin, thank you for your trust, I won’t let you down,” Lunin said, showing off his new vehicle.

He claimed that he continued to provide humanitarian and legal assistance to the military. In response to accusations of “changing his tune,” Lunin responded to his followers:

“I went as far as I could and brought the information to the right people, unlike the air force. I put my life and my family’s life on the line. For the sake of the SVO fighters who are in a difficult situation. I owe you nothing. If you find even one video where I said, ‘Let’s go to Moscow, to the Kremlin, army, get up.’ If you find such calls from me somewhere, then I will apologize.”

In another video, he asked where he could buy a good body armor in Voronezh, as he was going to the “SVO”. Before that, he recorded a video message to Putin demanding to meet with him and give him the opportunity to speak together on the air, as thousands of soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces “are sitting in the dungeons, punished by their commanders,” and warning that if refused, “the army will turn its weapons against the Kremlin,”

Earlier, Vitaly Borodin, the head of the Federal Project for Security and Anti-Corruption, and a professional whistle-blower, posted a video of Lunin in his car on his Instagram account, accusing the “fifth column” and “traitors to the Motherland” of influencing the military man who recorded an appeal to Putin. Prior to this, a court in the Voronezh region arrested Lunin for 11 days under the Administrative Code for displaying extremist or Nazi symbols. The military man’s wife later expressed her full support for the policies of “our President Vladimir Putin.”
