Who is Valery Solovey
Valery Solovey is a political scientist, Doctor of Historical Sciences, a former employee of the Institute of Russian History of the Russian Academy of Sciences and a former lecturer at MGIMO. He himself comes from Ukraine – the city of Happiness in the Luhansk region.
Known for his harsh statements on socio-political topics in the Russian Federation. He criticized the Russian authorities for hiding the true numbers of deaths from coronavirus. In September 2020, Nightingale was detained by police in Moscow after he organized a solidarity rally with protesters in Khabarovsk and Belarus, as well as Alexei Navalny. But a few hours after the arrest, the political scientist was released.
In November 2020, the British tabloid The Sun, citing Nightingale, suggested that Vladimir Putin may have Parkinson's disease. The Kremlin denied this information. A few days ago, Nightingale expressed a version about the illness of the scandalous Vladimir Zhirinovsky: supposedly the politician could have been poisoned.
Despite the fact that Nightingale criticizes the Russian authorities and Putin personally, he supports the Kremlin's aggressive policy towards Ukraine. In particular, the political scientist said that he considers Crimea to be the territory of the Russian Federation, and he called the terrorists in the Donbas “militia”.
Recall that Russia has included Navalny's associates in the list of extremists and terrorists.
