Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council, has publicly called for the creation of a database to list individuals he deems enemies of Russia, reports Hotnews.
According to TASS, Medvedev’s proposal targets those he accuses of supporting missile strikes on Russian soil or advocating violence against Russian citizens.
"Russophobic"
In a recent Telegram post, Medvedev criticized Western figures, labeling them as “Russophobic” and accusing them of inciting attacks against Russia.
He emphasized the need for revenge and highlighted the importance of ensuring that those who commit crimes against Russia feel the inevitability of retribution.
Medvedev warned that these individuals should live in constant fear, suggesting they might have to change their identities or live in paranoia.
Medvedev also proposed the controversial idea of a public database listing personal details of those he considers enemies.
He justified this by stating it would serve practical purposes in preparing for potential revenge.
Hungry for revenge
This call for a database follows Medvedev’s previous incendiary remarks. In June, he urged Russian citizens to actively retaliate against Western countries imposing sanctions on Russia, encouraging acts of sabotage against their economies, institutions, and leaders.
Medvedev called for relentless harm to these nations, citing the need to address their vulnerabilities and instill fear.
Recently, Medvedev also threatened to use non-nuclear weapons to destroy Kyiv in response to Ukraine’s use of Western long-range missiles.
His rhetoric aligns with President Vladimir Putin’s claim that Western support for Ukraine’s missile strikes constitutes a de facto war between NATO and Russia.
