So Eristavi says his family were forced to take part of the referendums in Crimea in 2014...and now he claims they’re forced to do so again? Where are they living now? None of the four regions where the referendums occurred are in Crimea (unless he means to imply his family chose to stick around in Russia-aligned areas for months, even though they ostensibly had problems with the Crimea referendum in 2014).
Something doesn’t pass the smell test.
But then again, he is part of the Atlantic Council, and his bio is rather telling: https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/expert/maxim-eristavi-2/
“He is the only openly gay journalist in Ukraine and has been an outspoken voice in raising civil rights issues of the region abroad. Eristavi is a 2015 Poynter fellow at Yale University with a focus on informational wars and pan-regional LGBTI civil rights movements.”
“But then again, he is part of the Atlantic Council”
For those who don’t know, the Atlantic Council is the Neocon mouthpiece.
Small world and gay too.
Damon Wilson, CEO/President of NED talking about a democratic Russia being the end goal.(regime change?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=424&v=kI4QDm5G-pE
He’s speaking at an Atlantic Council talk. Wilson lives in DC with his husband. He advised or worked for NATO, worked at the Atlantic Council and is now CEO/President of NED.

Congress funds the NED. NED funds the IRI(republs like McCain, Graham, Romney, Rubio) and NED funds the NDI(dems like Daschle, Abrams, Brazille) Quite the circle jerk.
