Since the invasion Kagarlitskis YouTube channel and Rabkor s website have published antiwar content from Marxist positions aimed at the Russian left rather than the traditional liberal audience of opposition media. Other leftwing antiwar and even liberal forces began to appear during Kagarlitskis live broadcasts people who eight years ago were on the opposite side of his. As another antiwar blogger Alexander Shtefanov noted Kagarlitskis activities have become dangerous for the Russian authorities as they have created rallying points for a wide range of antiwar opposition and specifically for those who remained in Russia. In 2022 authorities declared him a foreign agent hinting that it was time for him to leave the country.
But Kagarlitski decided to stay despite the real risk of going to Russia Mobile Number List which has now happened.and honorable act. Against war against Putin Has Kagarlitski renounced his previous views Probably not. Kagarlitski adheres to the theory of absolute event according to which neither the failures nor the merits of the past matter when facing a crisis such as Russias war against Ukraine. Rather it is your attitudes and actions that matter. Kagarlitskis approach is very practical. Rather than excluding potential allies he assumes that the coalition against the absolute event will be open and inclusive. Kagarlitskis media activity since February 2022 has shaped the antiwar opinions of thousands of Russians.
In fact his posturing in 2014 and 2015 may have helped him allowing him to reach those with moderate patriotic views which would never have been won over by agitators with an ideal record and unambiguous position. Kagarlitski may have once supported sections of the Russian patriotic left who yearn for territorial expansion. But no other known leftist force has done more than Kagarlitsky to instill in thousands of Russians a simple idea Putins regime is criminal the invasion of Ukraine is criminal unjustified and must be opposed.
