People of the new Minister of Defense offered us money!
After we talked about Andrei Belousov’s visit to the Diveyevo Monastery and what happened there after that, they tried to get in touch with us. A person close to the new Minister of Defense offered us cooperation. And we think it's worth telling our readers about this for two reasons.
Firstly , from a media point of view, Belousov understands that the position of the Minister of Defense of a warring country will always be the focus of attention, and a lot of criticism awaits him. From this point of view, establishing contact with key media platforms is a good initiative. Obviously, it will be possible to come to an agreement with someone.
Secondly, we were offered quite good money. Our silence was valued at one million rubles a month. In principle, quite generous. But we refused. This, if you remember, is not the first attempt to bribe the Kremlin snuffbox, but we don't want to spoil our aura. [see below] The truth is important, because sometimes it can even save lives, including our military.
We will certainly monitor Belousov’s activities as Minister of Defense. It will be interesting to see how a man without a large team will reform such a huge system in a war.

19NOV2023 Abramovich's people want to buy “Табакерку” [=snuff box = this channel]. Here's what we think about it
This is not the first time we have received an offer to sell the Kremlin Табакерку channel. A year ago they offered a million rubles for the channel, now the price has increased 10 times.
We were offered 10 million for the channel and another million on top for urgency. One of the channel's admins was contacted by an intermediary who had previously worked with Roman Abramovich. He hinted that our publications about his possible participation in the elections somewhat interfere with the plans of the businessman.
Let us answer publicly at once to all those wishing to buy this channel - “Табакерку” is not for sale. The channel was created by independent journalists who are really well connected, but may not always agree with the actions of the authorities. Yes, we are against war. We do not like the meat grinder in which tens of thousands of our citizens have died. At the same time, we realize that hiding the truth is also a crime. And we do not intend to be complicit in it. And yes, we support our military, although we do not always agree with the decisions of individual generals.
We will speak the truth and tell what, alas, will not be shown on federal television. We are not after the long ruble and have not placed a single advertisement in the channel for the whole time. “Табакерку” is about the future. In which the truth cannot be bought. And we value our readers too much to cheat them.
On the eve of the elections, we are ready to publish interviews with all the candidates, including Vladimir Putin and Roman Abramovich. The questions will not be easy, but we are giving all participants in the election a chance to speak out.

10 Million Ruble is about $110,000. The average accrued salary in Russia is 70.9 thousand rubles in September 2023 - an increase of 14.6% y/y and 29.7% over two years.

Belousov followed Shoigu’s path. What is the Minister of Defense afraid of?
Remember how Andrei Belousov’s people offered us money in May , but we refused. [ see
https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4042550/posts?page=6398#6398 ] It seems that the associates of the Minister of Defense have found someone to pay this money to. Usually we don't answer when someone says that we are crests, lying, and so on. We don't want to waste time on all this. They were not going to respond to this
https://nemez1da.ru/rassledovaniya/ukrainskoe-czipso-ih-kanaly-i-fejki/ article which ill-wishers sent through their telegram networks. Well, people earn their pretty penny, so why bother them? But the situation is too serious not to react to it. That's why we are forced to do this.
Firstly, we have already commented on all the claims made against us in this article here https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/2552 and here https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/2891
It says there how they hacked us, posted posts in Ukrainian on this channel, and so on. We don't want to repeat ourselves. Read it and don't trust fakes anymore under the guise of “fighters against fakes.”
Secondly, we would not react to all these stuffing. But there is a problem. Very big. Last year we were hacked, fake news was written about us, and so on, for money allocated by personal order of Sergei Shoigu. The Minister of Defense has changed. There were hopes for change. But nothing has changed. It's just a disaster. At the front, by the way, changes are also happening at the same rate. Andrey Removich, maybe you won't be distracted by the war with us? Will you fight with the crests? Sorry for the emotions.
Thirdly, according to our sources close to the Minister of Defense, the attack on us is connected with Belousov’s fears. “Andrei Removich, to be honest, is afraid of a lot. The fact that demobilization will fail, and he will be blamed for it. That they won't be able to win, that they will find out how he paid for his support. The fact that Vladimir Vladimirovich will be dissatisfied when he finds out about our real problems and losses. He's afraid, it sounds strange, but the fact is that God will abandon him, and we will lose the [special operation in Ukraine], ” a general close to Valery Gerasimov and familiar with the situation explained to us.
Such fears are, of course, very bad. And if the Minister of Defense asked us for help in such a situation, we would help. But he chose the path of intimidation. Well, we didn't start this war. We propose to finish it, because we don't want to fight with our own people.
Fourthly, to disrespected colleagues who decided to denigrate us. You have undertaken to refute the news that Russian soldiers died because of Ramzan Kadyrov . Does money really smell that bad? Or were you intimidated? Write to us if so. But to neglect the lives of Russian soldiers for the sake of the head of Chechnya... This is too vile.
One more thing. We know where everyone who created the fake news about us lives. With addresses, family details and so on. We will not publish this information so that a Khokhlyatsky rocket does not fly to you or thugs from the GUR come to you. Although you are drowning more for the Chechens, you are still Russians. But we kindly ask you to stop writing nasty things about us. I hope we are heard.
We will no longer respond to the dirt that is poured on us. But let's start writing about what we could keep silent about. You yourself wanted this.
