Longtime pro-Kremlin operator turned lawyer, 42-year-old activist. For years he was a reliable ally of the Russian president who smeared independent journalists but now abruptly turns on Vladimir Putin with an online manifesto demanding his prosecution as if "a criminal for war crimes." Remezlov argues that time has come to speak out and claims there are five specific reasons why this betrayal is necessary, stating explicitly: 'The system was about collapse.' This rare public reversal marks a significant shift from years of defending the regime's actions against critics.
