Debtors, unemployed and alcoholics. What collaborators do in Kherson against the background of the Armed Forces success, - says a local journalist

Stella at the entrance to Kherson (photo: Reuters/Alexander Ermochenko) collaborators who would not have any significant position before the Russian invasion, now felt "power" in occupied Kherson and consider it the pinnacle Kherson Sergey Nikitenko. - We have fresh messages from Kherson that powerful explosions have been thickened.

What do you know about these explosions can you tell you in more detail? - We have not received the second confirmation so far, but according to preliminary data shells hit the territory of the school of higher sports skills in the neighborhood of the ship, according to our information, there was a large accumulation of Russians. But I repeat, the data is still previous, we have not received confirmation.

Video of the day - also the day before it became known that in Kherson the Rector, which cooperated with the invaders, was blown up. Is there any final confirmation of this information? And who is it at all, what is it for a person? - This is not a rector, but a pseudo -sector, yesterday there was an explosion in the dwelling of a self -rector of the "Kherson State University", as they call it. She did not die, the wounded, according to our information, is in intensive care.

Although the Russians have already confirmed information about her wounds and say that she has mild injuries, according to our information, it is at least contusion and shrapnel wounds. What is known about her? She has been fighting the old "Russian world" fighter, since 2015 with the mythical "biolaboratories of the United States", which she has not found, has not yet found, even in the captured Kherson.

She has ever become not that the Rector, and even the Dean of a Faculty, she used Russia's attack to satisfy her ambitions, let's say so. - What is known about the activities of such collaborators in Kherson? - Yes, most, a percent of 80 are people who would never be able to realize in any competitive environment, would never be able to hold any positions solely in their personal, intellectual qualities, etc.

It is clear that most of these people were unemployed, debtors of banks, alcoholics, not the best representatives of society. It is clear that now they are glad to serve the Russians, because they receive some "symbols of power" from them. Men are given pistols, they are demonstrated in the city, demonstrating that they have a gun on their belt. They are given armored vehicles or just some cars, security. They rightly consider it the top of their careers, their lives, but all this will stop.

- What you know that these collaborators and representatives of the occupying power say, given that the Armed Forces we see how they are actively moving in the eastern direction. But in the south, the same, in Kherson region. How does this affect their moods? Are they already packing suitcases? - It is difficult for me to talk about their moods, because I do not communicate with them.

But from what we see - they have panic, especially those who are smarter, they have a clear panic, they are constantly telling that "Russia is here forever", that everything is normal, no one is going anywhere. But you can see that they do it with panic moods, it is very noticeable, and it is clear why.

- Is there an opportunity to leave the occupied territories of Kherson region now? Considering that the Armed Forces will continue to move if people want to go, do they have any opportunity to do it? - Yes, there is an opportunity to leave Kherson, even two. One - through Vasylivka, through the collision line. The second opportunity is to leave the Crimea. Both are difficult, because the departure through Vasylivka is long, with humiliating searches, filtration.

Departure through Crimea is also not very pleasant, where people are increasingly delayed for a while, and even for a long time, arrest, interrogate, check. But people still go, people are going a lot, lately a lot of people go. - How many people still remain in Kherson, estimated, and in what conditions do they live? - It is hard to say about numbers. According to various estimates, half to 60% left. As a rule, it is the population of cities: Kherson, New Kakhovka, Holoky Pier, Skadovskaya.

About 30% of the population remained in Skadovsk, the mayor told me. It is very difficult for people to live, you understand that the occupiers continue the policy of intimidation, theft of people. Literally, information about the abduction of the famous local historian Alexei Patalakh, is just as innocent as possible, who was engaged in science, research. He was stolen from the house and nothing is known about it. People see it, it has a great impact on their psychological state.
