A Ghost is haunting Kiev

September 17: The new Ukrainian sanctions list includes a lot of people. On the list, for example, are the 81-year-old artistic director of the Academic Chamber “Vivaldi Orchestra,” Svetlana Bezrodnaya, and 90-year-old academician Boris Rounov. On this list are Israeli journalists, Communist deputies from Greece, and many others. But one name on the list, at number 307, really stands out among the others:

To this day, Alexei Borisovich Mozgovoi represents a strong threat to the current political system of Ukraine. He is still considered a danger to the territorial integrity of Ukraine and still contributes to terrorist activities. It is noteworthy that the Council of Europe recently removed Alexei Mozgovi from its sanctions list, precisely because of his death. After all, he was killed in an assassination attempt in May 2015.
