Fake Z-poet passed off Nazi poems as patriotic and befriended State Duma deputies

Popular among State Duma deputies, senators and pro-war public figures, Z-poet Gennady Rakitin turned out to be an anti-war project, the authors of which passed off the poems of Nazi poets from the time of Hitler's Germany as modern Russian "patriotic" poetry in support of the war in Ukraine and the Putin regime. This is what investigative journalist Andrei Zakharov writes .

According to him, the creators of the page "Gennady Rakitin" are his anti-war friends. The photo on the page of the "poet" was generated by a neural network, and his "works" are poems of Nazi poets, where Germany is replaced by Russia, Hitler by Putin, and NSDAP stormtroopers by Wagner PMC fighters.

These translations invariably receive praise from Rakitin's subscribers, among whom are not only Z-poets and "war correspondents", but also 95 State Duma deputies and 28 senators of the Federation Council, including Andrei Klishas and Dmitry Rogozin.

Thus, Gennady Rakitin has a poem called “Leader”, which is dedicated to Vladimir Putin:

You are like a gardener in his garden

He reaps the fruits of hard labor.

The people rejoice, flags are raised high

Soared. Time is quietly approaching.

According to Zakharov, this is a literary translation of the poem “Fuhrer” by Eberhard Möller, a Nazi, anti-Semite and member of the NSDAP.

"Rakitin" actively participated in Z-poetry competitions. For example, in June he reached the semi-finals in the nomination "Poems about the defenders of the Motherland" of the All-Russian Tvardovsky Patriotic Poetry Competition. The organizers even sent him a certificate and a portrait of the famous Soviet poet of the Great Patriotic War.

However, with their latest poem, the creators of "Gennady Rakitin" have deliberately given themselves away. Instead of another "patriotic" work, the Z-poet has published on his page the so-called "verse-pie":

Gennady mocked for a long time

Above the z-verses on the wall,

In the end, he drew a dick

War.
