"I did get a little bit of it". The world champion who betrayed Ukraine has become a laughingstock in Russia after being appointed to the Federation Council

World Rapid Chess Champion (Astana, 2012) and World Blitz Champion (Doha, 2016) Sergey Karyakin, who changed his citizenship from Ukrainian to Russian in 2009, became a senator from Crimea in the Russian Federation Council. On September 12, the republic's "parliament" voted in favor of this, prematurely terminating his powers as a deputy from the United Russia party.

The candidacy of a 34-year-old native of Simferopol was proposed by the "head of the region" Sergey Aksyonov.

In the comments, this position of a titled grandmaster caused Russians to mock him. Users recall how Karyakin humiliated himself in front of Putin.

"Seryozha has patriotized!", "And all he had to do was lick the bishop's ass", "What a deep ANALYSIS Karjakin conducted to become a senator!", "A pagan's multi-move... Deep analysis..." - users write.

As OBOZ.UA reported, last year Karyakin gave an interview to Russian military propagandist Semyon Pegov, where he drew new borders for Ukraine. The native of Simferopol was convinced that Russia should seize all regions except the western ones.
