The deputy chairman of the Security Council Medvedev believes that it is necessary to distinguish in time the “face of the traitor” of the Motherland from the patriot

Against the backdrop of the special operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev spoke about patriotism and called on in time to distinguish the face of the traitor from the Patriot. The official published his reasoning in Telegram.

“Those who love their homeland have very different faces. The traitor always has the face of the traitor. The main thing is to distinguish this face in time, ”Medvedev wrote, without specifying how these two statements are connected.

The official also noted that "patriotism is not an image of your thoughts, these are your actions." What he had in mind, the deputy chairman of the Security Council also did not explain. President Vladimir Putin also spoke about the “traitors” of Russia almost two weeks ago. During the meeting on the support of the Russian regions on March 16, he stated that the Russian people "will always be able to distinguish true patriots from scum and traitors" and "simply spit them out like a accidental midge." According to Putin, "such a natural self -cleaning of society will only strengthen our country",

At the same time, the president did not specify what he has in mind by “self -cleaning of society”, as well as how exactly the Russian people plans to spit out “scum and traitors”.
