Medvedev writes and deletes post saying Georgia should become part of Russia, assistant says account hacked
On August 2, Dmitry Medvedev's post appeared in the Russian social network VKontakte, stating that Georgia should become part of Russia and genocide of Russians was organized in Kazakhstan. The post disappeared in a few minutes, although its screenshots were re-uploaded by journalist Ksenia Sobchak.
The post mentions that 'after the liberation of the territories of Kiev and Malorossiya from the nationalists, Russia will be united again'.
"We are on our next campaign to restore the borders of our homeland, which, as we know, does not end anywhere," the post said.
Medvedev wrote in the post that 'before 1801, Georgia as a country did not exist and it was created only within the borders of the Russian Empire':
"North and South Ossetia, Abkhazia and the remaining territories of Georgia can be united only with Russia as part of one state".
As for Kazakhstan, the post says that "this is an artificial state" and "a former territory of Russia", and the government is evicting various ethnic groups, which can be "considered a genocide of Russians".
It is not known whether this post really belongs to the deputy head of the Security Council. Sobchak suggests that Medvedev's account was hacked. Medvedev himself did not respond to the post.
"He probably wouldn't touch Northern Kazakhstan, considering his personal meetings with Tokayev. Rhetoric is too much even for him," Sobchak notes.
Later, Dmitry Medvedev's assistant told RIA Novosti that the account had been hacked.

"I would like to emphasize one circumstance that part of the society did not understand, part of it understood well, but it is trying to mislead the society. The Kartu and Bidzina Ivanishvili Charitable Foundation did not limit itself to handing over this space to the capital, all the works that will be carried out - landscaping, tidying, this person will take all the costs of rehabilitation. The municipality will not have to spend a single cent. The project is being implemented with the funding of Bidzina Ivanishvili and her family, for which I would like to thank her once again," said the mayor of Tbilisi.
