A Daily Beast Reporter went to where the fliers said to register. On Talking Points memo, and The Daily Beast I found:
..the fliers that bore Pushilin’s signature called him the “people’s governor,” a moniker he told the Ukrainian press he does not use to refer to himself. The fliers were also met with skepticism beyond the separatist leader’s public disavowal.
The U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt, told CNN’s Jake Tapper that the leaflets were likely distributed by radicals.....
And when Anna Nemtsova, a reporter for the Daily Beast went to the administration office where the fliers instructed Jews to go pay the registration fee on Thursday, she found the room was empty.
The fliers “could have been the work of provocateurs hoping to discredit the pro-Russian movement” in Ukraine, according to the Daily Beast.
Thanks for your post at #53
You left out some bits from that daily beast story. Like the fact the spokesman for these russian nutballs is a well known anti-Semite according to a local Rabbi.
