A prominent Russian poet, actress and singer criticized Vladimir Putin as a “terrorist” and the “main maniac of the 21st century.”
Vera Polozkova, 36, told how she felt “crazy pain and shame” over the war in Ukraine, warning her people that they must be ready to acknowledge their crimes, repent and pay reparations to Ukraine.
Speaking from exile, he said: “My country is occupied by a terrorist group, it is very uncomfortable to be there because you are their hostage.”
Her powerful attack on Putin and his regime has sparked demands for revenge against her by Russian law enforcement.
Polozkova, who has performed in London and is especially popular with educated Russians, regretted not heeding long ago powerful warnings about Putin from his enemies, such as politician Boris Nemtsov, shot dead near the Kremlin, and dissident Valeria Novodvorskaya.
He branded Putin, 70, “the leading maniac of the 21st century,” suggesting he reveled in the bloodshed he is causing.

“I just know that happy people don’t kill and don’t enjoy blood,” he said.
‘If someone thinks he’s a happy, rich and powerful man, no, he’s not, he’s in hell.’
Speaking from Cyprus, he told interviewer Yury Dud that he could never live in Russia again after Putin’s carnage, saying he was raising money for the Ukrainian army who were “fighting for me… and for my children.” .
She said: “If they win, and they will, we will have a chance to return to Russia one day.”
But Polozkova, who has been called the most popular modern Russian-language poet, warned: “When Putinism ends, a terrible interregnum will begin.”

The ‘could be even scarier than the last year of Putinism’.
She said: ‘The country that did this to Ukraine, if it’s very lucky, will own up to it, repent and pay reparations.
‘But making it habitable after everything that’s going to happen to it… this is just the beginning.
‘I can’t imagine how long it will take.
‘Maybe it won’t happen in our lifetime.’
Putin had pushed Russia “so far back” that it was hard to see how it could re-emerge in the world.
He added: ‘All the achievements, everything that was created with such care and love, all these children born after the previous demographic collapse [in Russia] – dozens of these children are now being thrown into the oven…
‘Do you think that after this everyone will be able to stand up, dust off the ashes and walk towards a bright future?
I really doubt it.
“I’m sure it will happen to Ukraine because the truth is on their side.”
Polozkova, also a playwright, said of Ukraine that the damage would remain after reconstruction: “the destroyed psyche of the people, their traumas and the children, scared forever.”

However, ‘everyone will help him, everyone saw and heard him, he will soon be restored.’
But Russia is “going full steam ahead towards a very unpleasant future.”
Putin was a ‘liar and manipulator’ who shamed the memory of WWII veterans who died to build a better future.
The Russians and the world did not realize the truth about Putin, he said.
“Globally, not all of us did enough to make it not happen,” he said.
‘We underestimated the threat level, we did not understand that we were really on board a plane captured by terrorists who will then do something irreparable with our lives and those of our children.
‘It seemed like they were just thieves, losers and idiots. But they really are maniacs….
‘My country is occupied by a terrorist group, it is very uncomfortable to be there because you are their hostage…
‘The entire population of Russia that stayed within the country has also “moved” to a different country…
‘These people are now immigrants in their own homes.
‘Formally things haven’t changed… but everything changed completely, it’s a different state with different laws and rules…
“The country now exists as a totalitarian sect.”
Putin’s supporters are demanding that he face legal action for ‘discrediting’ his country and ‘treason’ for backing the Ukrainian army.
