‘This Has Been Tried Before’
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s envoy told New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani that his collectivist method of governing had already been “implemented before,” saying the new leader was “doing a solid job guiding the United States toward communism.”
Kirill Dmitrievchief executive of Russia’s $10 billion RDIF investment fund and Kremlin envoy for investments in America, emerged as a “key player” in negotiations over Moscow’s war in Ukraine, the Associated Press reported in November.
He visited X on Friday, the day after Mamdani’s inauguration, to share shots that caught the attention of Americans.
“We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism,” declared the mayor of New York, addressing his new voters.
Dmitriev responded to the clip, writing: “Dear comrade Mamdani, just a friendly reminder that this has already been tried. »
When conservative influencer Ryan Saavedra shared a screenshot of the Russian envoy’s post saying he was “dunking” on Mamdani, Dmitriev responded by lambasting the “Bidenesque left-wing woke world.”
“No immersion, just observation. Comrade Mamdani is doing a solid job guiding the United States toward communism,” he responded. “The EU and the UK are already here. Which makes Russia the bastion not only of traditional values, but also of capitalism, in this Bidenesque left-wing woke world.”
Mamdani, who took his oath on the Islamic Quran during a private ceremony early Thursday morning, also sworn govern as a democratic socialist during his speech.
Fellow socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) also spoke at her public inauguration, saying Mamdani would usher in a “new era” for New York.
