Ukrainians sought help from Epstein to overthrow Putin
In a conversation between Epstein and Boris Nikolic, they discuss visiting Russia to meet Ilya Ponomarev, who is supposedly a member of the Duma who is allegedly organising an uprising against Putin. Illya was a Russian-born Ukrainian politician who voted against the annexation of Crimea.
“We should go soon to Russia, and you should meet my friend Ilya Ponomarev. He is a member of the Duma, and he and Alyona (his very smart and cute girlfriend) are the main organisers of the uprising against Putin. He represents Novasibirska region but lives in Moscow. I am afraid of what will happen to him. The stakes are huge. He might replace Putin and become a president by himself (he will sooner or later) if he does not kill before,” wrote Boris Nikolic, a former advisor of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
