Showing yet again that he can go in depth in a way that others in the media can’t or won’t, Mark Levin on Sunday night unloaded the long — and bloody — history of Vladimir Putin’s murderous hold on power. Fox News’ Mark Levin. Life, Liberty and Levin, the radio star warned of what he called a “Putin wing in the media.”
Levin began, “So Putin came to power and has held power through assassination. How do we find that information? Because it is very, very well-documented.” He explained, “He killed diplomats. He has called 122 journalists whose deaths were arranged by operatives of Putin and his regime.”
Citing various sources, Levin detailed just a few of Putin’s victims. Click “expand to see more.
Here are a few examples.
“Boris Nemtsov, 2015. He was one of the “young reformers” who led Soviet Russia in the 1990s. He was elected Deputy Prime Minister, and for some time was considered a possible candidate for the presidency. However, it was Putin who succeed Yeltsin as president in 2000. Nemtsov supported this choice at first, but then he became increasingly critical and was forced to the margins.
In February 2015, during military intervention in Ukraine, Nemtsov received four bullets to the back from an unidentified assailant. This was within the Kremlin’s view. Putin assumed personal responsibility for the investigation, though the suspect remains unknown.
Boris Berezovsky, 2013. He was self-described as a tycoon and was an integral part of Yeltsin’s inner circle during the 1990s. A media campaign in which he was accused of smearing Boris Nemtsov (who was to succeed Yeltsin) was part of Putin’s rise.
Berezovsky quickly fell out with Putin, and he fled Russia to seek a life of self-exile in England. His distance from Russia encouraged him and he pledged that he and all his substantial wealth would work to overthrow Putin. He also led a campaign for the investigation of the London killing of Alexander Litvinenko in November 2006. Litvinenko was a former KGB agent and a prominent critic of Putin. A British Intelligence Investigation in 2018 revealed that Litvinenko was murdered by two agents from the FSB. This is the successor KGB group. This is what you remember?
However, Berezovsky was discovered dead in a London bathroom. He had a noose wrapped around his neck. The death was initially ruled suicide by the coroner.
It goes on.
Levin slammed, “We have a Putin wing in the media. In the Democratic Party, and within academia, we have a Putin core. And you’ll hear them and you’ll see them and they talk about how the United States may escalate war against Putin.”
He scolded anyone, in the media, or in politics, who would blame America for all this: “But why does this matter? Because ladies and gentlemen, I personally am sick and tired of hearing the excuses for Putin and the attacks on the United States that we somehow are going to escalate something.”
Levin closed with a warning: “This has to do with America. Are you sure Putin will be content with Ukraine more than he is with Crimea? Or more than with Georgia? We know what Putin wants..”

MARK LEVIN. I do not often agree with Lindsey Graham regarding a range of issues such as immigration, judges, etc. However, he made a comment on his brother Sean Hannity’s program. Hannity said that he was taking in a lot of input from the Putin wing, the Putin Pravda linked American press and, of course, the American Marxist, the Democratic Party.
What is the point?
So many times, he said that it would be nice for a hero to step in and replace Putin. This caused great controversy. It’s not clear why this caused controversy.
Lindsey Graham has been accused of using murderous assassination to maintain power.
This is a section from “The Daily Mail,” Ukraine President Volodymyr Zeleskyy was spared three assassination attempts. Plots were filed in two agencies, one of which is now called the FSB.
The Wagner Group (which I’ll talk to shortly) is responsible for two attempts. A Chechnya hit team is also behind one attempt. They were sent by Putin.
The Wagner Group is said to have 400 members. It is located in Africa and is a secretive mercenary hit group. They were there before the war began. The Daily Mail reported this.
“KGB’s successor, the Ukrainian Secretary of National Security and Defense, confirmed that the attempted murder was being carried out. The shadowy Wagner Group with 400 members in Kyiv was one group believed to have tried to kill him. With a 24-name kill list, they infiltrated Ukraine.
The assassination targets they’re supposed to carry out for Putin are on their hit list.
The other group consisted of Chechnyan, which is why our Russian National Garden elite soldiers are well-known for their brutal tactics. Zelenskyy, of course is our number one target.
Putin came to power by assassination. So how can we be sure of that? This is because it’s very, very well-documented. Our country warned the United Nations that Russia had a killlist of Ukrainians. If they captured any, Zelenskyy and his Cabinet members, Parliamentarians, journalists, and so on, the United Nations was well aware.
Homeland Security Newswire has compiled a list, which I did my research on, of Putin’s victims. A long list of disappeared and murdered people, who were willing to ask Putin questions.
There have been — “…his intelligence operatives had killed many domestic critics and opposition politicians as well as journalists, investigative reporters, artists, and academicians. In London, there were more than twelve Russian defectors including Alexander Litvinenko. Russian intelligence agents have also murdered Russians, even those who do not criticize the regime. This has led Russian experts to suggest that Putin may be using a more mild version of Stalin’s random killings to create fear in the Russian elite.
The list includes 16 businessmen, politicians, opposition politicians, and others who won’t follow Putin’s ideologies, but also those that aren’t so inclined and would not give Putin any of their efforts.
He killed diplomats. Putin’s operatives called the 122 journalists killed by his regime. The call covers their names, where they live, what they did to them and how it happened.
It seems serious to me. Let me give you just a couple of examples.
“Boris Nemtsov, 2015. He was one of the “young reformers” who led Soviet Russia in the 1990s. He was elected Deputy Prime Minister, and for some time was considered a possible candidate for the presidency. However, it was Putin who succeed Yeltsin as president in 2000.

Boris Berezovsky, 2013. He was self-described as a tycoon and was an integral part of Yeltsins’ inner circle during the 1990s. His role in Putin’s ascendance to power included a media campaign to discredit Boris Nemtsov, who was expected to succeed Yeltsin.”
Berezovsky quickly fell out with Putin, and he fled Russia to seek a life of self-exile in England. His distance from Russia encouraged him and he pledged that he and all his substantial wealth would work to overthrow Putin. He also led a campaign for the investigation of the London killing of Alexander Litvinenko in November 2006. Litvinenko was a former KGB agent and a prominent critic of Putin.

Putin is a serial killer, we know this. We have information about his assassins. We are aware of his intentions in relation to the Russia-adjacent countries. We also know that he would like to rebuild Russia’s Soviet Union. Over the summer, he wrote an extensive essay on it. It all has to do with our lives. Everything.
There is a Putin-wing within the Republican Party. There is a Putin wing within the media. There is a core of Putin in both the Democratic Party (DPP) and academia. You’ll be able to hear and see them talk about the United States’ potential war on Putin.
It’s them, Lavrov, as well as other Putin-related lapdogs, who have discussed nuclear war. Putin has spoken about nuclear war. We are not. They rarely criticize Putin, or use it to make a point about America and the stupidity of our generals.
Biden, the Commander in Chief is possible. His actions are a complete disgrace and an utter disaster. He has actually got the Russians working with Iran to reach a nuke deal.
Is that a foolish thing to do? It is something I won’t ever know.
As I speak, he imposes more sanctions upon the American oil sector and none on Russia’s oil industry. How can we use oil to cripple the Russian economy, Putin’s economy, and war machine, rather than you, Mr. America? The White House is a fool. It is obvious that we have an idiot in the White House. And we shouldn’t be building up our military to meet any eventualities. Despite having hundreds of trillions in debt, the United States is not building up its military.
Russia, China, Iran, The Axis Of Evil.
This is why it matters. Ladies and gentlemen! I am tired of the excuses made by Putin for attacks against the United States and that somehow we are going to escalate.
In the face of Putin’s actions, we have been extremely passive. Diplomacy? Diplomacy? See who are the diplomats? He is deplorable, just look at Secretary of State. The National Security Adviser is pathetic. It is quite pathetic.
Never in American history has there been a more pathetic team against genocidal, murderous maniacs.
Xi is the Iranian regime and, yes, fascist Putin. He’s busy calling President of Ukraine and Jewish leader, President of Ukraine, a Nazi. Take a look at that.
Russians are evil and the bad guys. They are not the Ukrainians. They are not American troops. They are not NATO forces. What bothers me most is that the Ukrainians require weapons to protect themselves. The pilots of the Ukrainians were given MiG 29s. They use it.
Then, all of a sudden they were pulled back. The idea of sending American soldiers into Ukraine isn’t something that I support. Is anyone? Lindsey Graham isn’t convinced. A no-fly zone with American Air Force aircraft and other such things is not something I support. Can we not at least allow these freedom fighters to defend themselves?
These women are being killed, raped, and shot on the streets. The women of these communities are being raped. Terrorism is also taking place.
This has to do with America. Is Putin going to be happier with Ukraine than he is with Crimea or Georgia? He told us exactly what he wanted to do.
