He explained that he hated Kabets so he would refer to him as “you”.
“Here you are, what task are you up to other than trying to lick your boss’s ass when you do that? Do you think he’s smart? That means Kabets accepted the idea of killing Solovyov and called it that. And he’s hosting it here. Kabz’s power blew my mind. cut?” Solovyov continued to be angry.
According to the TV presenter, they recently “took another one from the group of killers hired by Zelensky” in order to “eliminate” Solovyov.
“And here you are crawling with your sword so joyfully. Just for safety reasons, do you think people should work from now on?” he concluded.
At the same time, Solovyov praised the mayor of Pervouralsk for supporting the Russian military special operation in Ukraine and helping to collect humanitarian aid for those in need.
Kabets so far left the cartoon on his page on the social network, but Bilalov deleted it from his official account.
Solovyov VS Sverdlovsk Region
The conflict between Vladimir Solovyov and officials of the Sverdlovsk region began on April 27. On that day, a live TV presenter called Yekaterinburg a “despicable liberota center” and is where “the scumbag currently hiding abroad” comes from. These words received a strong reaction from the local population, and the district officials began to criticize Solovyov. Kuyvashev urged the presenter to “watch your tongue”.
“Vladimir Rudolfovich, my fellow countrymen, compatriots, I am very sorry for how you talk about the inhabitants of Yekaterinburg. I’m mostly sorry for you. Because after these explanations – I don’t even want to repeat – your significant fan base and audience has decreased significantly. I hope it was thoughtless and thoughtless. And in the Urals, let me remind you, this is the fortress of the state, they love and appreciate people who pay attention to their language. Therefore, I wish you to be careful with your language, ”the governor said in a video message to a journalist.
In response, the TV presenter more than once insulted the authorities and residents of the Sverdlovsk region. He called them “Satanists”, then “scumbags”, “scumbags” and “cowards”. And once the head of Chechnya offered to send Ramzan Kadyrov to Yekaterinburg so that he could “teach logic” to the governor of the Sverdlovsk region.
The famous Ural bard, chansonnier Alexander Novikov defended his compatriots and denounced Solovyov for using the thieves’ vocabulary.
“I believe that if you were scolded by the Uralmash group, who are also patriotic towards our city and region, they would tell you differently. They’d tell you, “Listen, you striban, you’re catching the grunts about our city. Better yet, bite your filthy needle.” But they told you wrong, ”she recorded a video message to the TV presenter.
On May 5, news agency URA.RU reported that businessman Sava Rapic, Serbia’s plenipotentiary representative in the Ural Federal District, suspected foreign intelligence services were behind the journalist’s statements. He urged the FSB to check Solovyov’s statements.
On May 17, the head of the Yekaterinburg City Duma, Igor Volodin, told Kommersant that he had signed an appeal from senior organizations regarding Solovyov’s statements about the Ural capital and sent it to the city prosecutor’s office.
On June 2, URA.RU reported that the Sverdlovsk prosecutor’s office did not bring the TV presenter to administrative responsibility. The complaint of the City Duma was referred to the Moscow prosecutor’s office for consideration at the place of residence of Solovyov.
“First, the complaint (of Duma speaker Igor Volodin) was sent to the city prosecutor’s office, then to Moscow through the district prosecutor’s office. Because local prosecutors felt that if they took action independently against Solovyov, there could be consequences. In addition, from a procedural point of view, everything seems justified: after all, Solovyov is there, in the capital, ”a source close to the supervisory authority told the agency.
