Russian writers accused of supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine due to reckless autographs that brought money to the Legion of Russia
Russian writers Vladimir Sorokin, Lyudmila Ulitskaya and Viktor Erofeev were forced to justify themselves because of reckless autographs that brought money to the Legion of Russia as part of the Armed Forces. The book signed by the Russians was sold at a charity auction.
The Russian Federation was already preparing to repress the authors, so they refuted the accusation of supporting the Ukrainian army. Their public "repentance" was published by propaganda media.
On October 18 this year, a presentation of the book "Slovo Novo. The Exodus" was presented in Berlin, which was attended by the above-mentioned writers. All of them left an autograph on one of the copies, which was given to the "foreign agent" gallery owner Marat Gelman.
Later, the new owner decided to donate the book with the authors' signatures to help the Legion of Russia in the Ukrainian Armed Forces. "Slovo Novo. Exodus" was sold at an auction in early November, which was reported by Russian "patriots".

Since they cannot get to the "foreign agent" and the new owner of the book, the organization "Call of the People" filed an application with the IC and the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation with a request to check the writers for "support of terrorism", as the Legion of Russia is considered a terrorist organization in the country.

It should be added that before this incident, the writers' position was somewhat different. For example, in 2022, the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung published an article by Sorokin in which he wished Ukraine victory and called the Russian dictator "crazy."
A similar anti-war stance was expressed by Ulitskaya, who emigrated from Russia and talked about the "trauma" for the people. Viktor Erofeev called Vladimir Putin a "gopnik" but "whitewashed" the Russian people.
Earlier, OBOZ.UA wrote that comedian Pavel Volya proved that he is a mouthpiece of the Kremlin propaganda by telling a monologue about "I love Russia" in the new issue of the Comedy Club show on the Russian TV channel TNT.
