ussian President Vladimir Putin’s envoy told New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani that his collectivist method of governing has been “done before,” saying the new leader is “doing a solid job steering the U.S. toward Communism.”
Kirill Dmitriev, chief executive officer of Russia’s $10 billion RDIF investment fund and the Kremlin’s investment envoy to America, emerged as a “key player” in negotiations on Moscow’s war in Ukraine, the Associated Press reported in November.
He took to X on Friday, the day after Mamdani’s inauguration, to share takes that garnered attention from Americans.
“We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism,” the NYC mayor said as he addressed his new constituents.
Dmitriev responded to the clip, writing, “Dear Comrade Mamdani — just a friendly reminder that this has been tried before.”
When conservative influencer Ryan Saavedra shared a screenshot of the Russian envoy’s post saying he was “dunking” on Mamdani, Dmitriev responded by blasting the “Bidenesque leftist woke world.”
“Not dunking—just observing. Comrade Mamdani is doing a solid job steering the U.S. toward Communism,” he replied. “The EU & UK are already there. Which leaves Russia as the bastion not only of traditional values—but of capitalism—in this Bidenesque leftist woke world.”

Putin rehabbed Stalin’s likeness everywhere. This is doublespeak.
Sounds like the Babylon bee
Funny.
Communism a political and economic ideology that promotes common ownership of the means of production and aims to create a classless society. Collectivism, in this context, refers to principle of prioritizing the group over individual interests, a key aspect of communist theory.
He’s one of us.
Who would have ever thought that the Russians would be the saviors of western civ and capitalism!
Ouch.
You m-effers here who tell me Putins not a commie anymore. Or that Russia isnt socialist anymore. They never changed. Just because thenussr fell doesnt mean its all gone or everyone simlly stopped being one. He was and is a KGB guy and that hever changed. Same with this guy that works for him.
But Mahmdani has the experience to make it work for reals this time.
LOL, You forgot the /s
New leader is doing a solid job steering the U.S. toward Communism.
Democrats say we have the midterms wrapped up the lemmings are obeying our propaganda.
Meaning you are a communist?
What 'dilemma' is that? People haven't been phased by your nonsensical propaganda over all of these years - still are not. This is the same guy re-erecting statues to Soviet leaders in the areas he conquers and praises Stalin, as you know. You actually think this is a defense of him?
It’s amazing he actually thinks anyone would believe he has an argument:
