I find it remarkable that the GOP wer once wary and vocal in their dislike of Russia. How is it that the MAGA minions watched “The Americans,” yet fall for Russian propaganda and eat it up like candy. Many events were staged by Russia in 2016… and… many Russian state linked figures are doing it again. I highlighted names and underlined the group they are members of or write for.
Sergey Gladysh and Elena Branson garner support on Facebook ; Vladimir Rodzianko on the website TheDuran.com. They spread Russian disinformation, advocate violence and militias uprising since it was established in May 2016. Rodzianko remains its managing director, Gladysh stepped down as its editor in Mar2017 but can be seen writing on RussianAmerican.org
The Russian-Speaking Americans for Law and Order Facebook group has published posts promoting violence against demonstrators protesting police violence. ‘two US-based figures involved in the Russian Community Council, Sergey Gladysh and Elena Branson, became administrators of Russian-Speaking Americans for Law and Order, a Facebook group with over 8,000 members. This Facebook group has promoted an upcoming “Trump 2020 Labor Day Cruise Rally” in Portland, Oregon.
One example posted by a group moderator on August 17 features the text “Don’t Brake for Communists.” The image shows a cartoon of a driver wearing a “MAGA” shirt running over a protester.
Alex Kuzmenkoga (AKA Alex Kuzmenko, Alex Kyzik, Alek Kyzik), attended events for Slavic Youth Boise, an Idaho group between 2012-14, organized the Portland cruise and encouraged concealed carry. (Which made the event deadly, literally)
Alex and members of his family are immigrants from Belarus and Ukraine, however Alex has also gotten himself a very distinct American accent … that he makes sure to emphasize at the end especially…
They yell “God loving Americans,” “tRUMP2024,” “12 more years” and oddly, “born in America,” which may or may not be true… in English (but turn to a whisper and speak in Russian (or Ukranian which may be where their wives are from) and here s a longer Video of that event on YouTube:
After the closure of Russian consulates, and the indictment of the Russian troll agency… they had a visit from the FBI. Maybe, it is time for another…
‘In 2018, Gladysh told Russian State outlet Sputnik News that individuals who helped him organize a World War Two Victory march for the Russian diaspora in Seattle were visited by the FBI’
Portland and protests go hand in hand, but this year, there is something amiss…Violent /alt-right factions are showing up with militias and guns… like Proud Boys and Back the Blue PDX. The normally peaceful protests became violent. So much so that tRUMP felt obliged to intervene using his awesome ability to abuse his powers.
WaPo picked up from there … Alex Kuzmenko organized the Portland cruise with a few clicks... from BOISE Idaho.
“With little more than a Facebook log-in, private citizens have been able to tap into an existing appetite for protest and partisan faceoff.”
This is what Manafort and Russians did in the Ukraine. Make fake patriotic groups that support “local “ people vocal and advocate for violence… and be proUkraine AND pro Russia but also paid agents! See also tRUMP’s HHS mouthpiece, Michael Caputo who worked for Russians and Rudy Giuliani’s interference … and who knows who else who is getting paid to do it. When there is chaos, always look for Roger Stone as well…
As intelligence officials warn of foreign efforts to inflame divisions ahead of the Nov. 3 election, the work of Kuzmenko and his relatives, who organized the activities using online accounts that did not reveal their full names, shows how little-known individuals with no recorded history of political engagement can seize an outsize role in the campaign.
They deny they are paid by anyone and say they are simply exercising their rights as Americans. They also insist they fled communism and religious prosecution, which they insist tRUMP is fighting against in America.
Alex Kuzmenko and most of the other rally organizers are members of an extended family that came to the United States in 1993 from near Chernobyl, Ukraine, multiple family members said. Alex Kuzmenko’s mother, Lyubov, said she is originally from Belarus.
Alex Kuzmenko is also the Dad’s name. He is listed as the director of a real estate company that advertises the opportunity to “Sell Your House For Fast Cash.” They say they embrace tRUMP because they fear communism and and being attacked for their Evangelicalism again?
Sounds more like they embrace his style … Russian sympathy, possible influence and GRIFTING!

In the weeks leading up to the Portland cruise, he and his relatives also posted repeatedly about opportunities to purchase flags and other gear for the event. American flags and Trump flags went for $5 to $15, while the price for “thin blue line” flags was $10, according to screenshots of their various advertising announcements on social media. Kuzmenko’s sister-in-law, who goes by Julie on Facebook, offered “CUSTOM MADE” hitch mounts, capable of holding up to three flags, at $60 apiece.

And this was interesting:
Almost all of the rally’s hosts used pseudonyms or variations of their names to host the Portland event on Facebook. Nikolay, who appears to operate multiple Facebook accounts, goes by Nik Kuz. Nikolay’s wife, Yuliya Kuzmenko, goes by Julie Kuz. Another host, Tina Berezhnoy, shortened her name to Tina Bere. Neither woman responded to requests for comment
Now why would the non racist or bigoted MAGA minions care if they were Russian/Ukrainian?
Alex says on this couch-sufring site that he was then 20, living in Nampa Idaho, fluent in English, Russian; learning Belarusian, Ukrainian and from Belarus. He says HE IS FROM Belarus. if the quote from Alex’s mother is correct, that the rest of the family is from the Ukraine, it sounds as though hiding accents and real names, is not all some of the family may be hiding.
In August ,intelligence agencies warned
Russia was helping tRUMP, but also China, Iran, India and trolls from all over the world who like his brash style, nationalism, and
Vote with landslide numbers so that is impossible!
