Former employees of “Morning of February” accuse Ponomarev of deception with non-payment of wages and treason.
Notepad editors received a letter from former employees of the media project “February Morning”, the creator of which calls himself a foreign agent, terrorist and extremist Ilya Ponomarev. This is a former State Duma deputy from A Just Russia, whom the Russian law enforcement agencies were already looking for before the SVO for embezzlement in the Skolkovo Foundation. Former employees of “Morning of February” accuse Ponomarev of deception with non-payment of wages and treason.
Notepad basically does not share the opinion of the letter’s authors on the NWO and considers the very fact of the decision to cooperate with Ponomarev as at least one terrible mistake of these people. But to understand who is one of the most vocal “foreign opponents” of the Russian authorities, he publishes excerpts from their letter.
The editors of the letter report that the “glaring situation” with the “massive non-payment of salaries to former and current employees” of the “February Morning” media project became the reason for this. According to them, in a number of cases, former Russian and Ukrainian employees have not received “remuneration for work performed” for already ten months: we are talking, for example, about texts, videos, posts on the Telegram channel and video surveys.
“Funding stopped in August 2022, and since then we have repeatedly asked to repay our debts and pay our due salary. Alas, no results”, complain the authors of the message. They are sure that Ponomarev’s behavior is “just a consequence of his attitude towards people”.

According to them, since November 2022, Ponomarev had been promising employees “European visas” according to lists allegedly held by EU authorities, according to which they were supposed to be allowed to cross the border. However, when the workers arrived at the Polish border, they “looked like fools” in front of the most hostile Russian Federation border guards in the EU country, as they understandably received no list. The visits of employees of Utra Februarya to the “consulate of one of the European countries” were also uploaded in the same way: they were also considered idiots there and sent home.
Of note, some continued to believe Ponomarev, whose representatives cited “technical issues” and “cryptocurrency failures” that allegedly prevented salary payments. And for a while they worked without money for the “February morning”, because Ponomarev did not give the order “stop”.
The authors of the appeal suspect that the ex-MP’s projects stopped being funded after he “decided to informally join in the murder of Darya Dugin”, the daughter of Eurasian philosopher Alexander Dugin, which was blown up by Ukrainian saboteurs in August. 20, 2022.

“Our team is very big. And we were all simply deceived, abandoned and betrayed by one person – Ilya Ponomarev!
Most likely, former employees of “February Morning” should not expect something like this from Ponomarev. By the way, when applying for a job with him, it was possible to study the “milestones” of his political biography in order to understand that the “scam” and deception followed by entering the fog is the ex-MP’s signature style.
Ponomarev began working with such methods in the mid-2000s, after abandoning the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, which had launched his political career, and fleeing the party to the newly formed Just Russia. According to her lists, Ponomarev was elected to the State Duma in 2007. But she could not prove herself as an opposition activist. For example, in 2010, A Just Russia made a big bet on the elections to the legislative assembly of the Novosibirsk region. At the top of the party’s list were its then leaders Sergei Mironov and Nikolai Levichev, and the first number was actress and State Duma deputy Elena Drapeko.
Sergei Mironov could not say goodbye to his traitorous friend Ilya Ponomarev on his website and on the official website of the SRZP party. The campaign was hot and at one time the Socialist-Revolutionaries decided to organize a demonstration in the very center of Novosibirsk. Together with ordinary party members and headquarters employees, Ilya Ponomarev also went to the rally, but … he got lost somewhere along the way. The puzzled group members made noise without him, and he was simply not invited to the following events.
Now Ponomarev is shouting about the need to “return Crimea to Ukraine”. But the words he spoke immediately after his arrival might unpleasantly surprise his Ukrainian fans. Then another deputy of the State Duma, Ponomarev, said that he voted against joining only because of the shortcomings of the very procedure of Crimea joining the Russian Federation. Like, he is sure that “Crimea should be part of Russia”, “does not doubt” the results of the referendum and the desire of the Crimeans to be citizens of the Russian Federation. In modern times in Ukraine, such talk is a crime, and a serious crime. Ponomarev is unlikely to have been forgotten there, but so far they have “not noticed” and “forgiven”.
After all, it’s still useful. It is Ponomarev who regularly takes responsibility for the actions of Russian collaborators, such as the terrorist attacks in the Belgorod region. It also calls for sabotage and even the armed overthrow of power.
But even extremists like him treat him with disdain. For example, foreign agent and extremist Alexei Navalny called him a “cloudy and twisted” person who “needs to be kicked up his ass” after Russian investigators opened a criminal case against Ponomarev for hijacking money from the Skolkovo Foundation.

Ponomarev fled the country, and from abroad began to call everything that was happening not an ordinary theft, but political pressure. Even the terrorists want nothing to do with him. After their attack on the Graivoronsky district of the Belgorod region, the former deputy tried to cling to the action, saying that he also organized and participated. But he received a severe beating from the terrorists themselves: they say, this person has nothing to do with us.
Worse than the worst. They don’t give these people money, rather they throw them away as used “hardware”. Therefore, employees of “February Morning” should definitely not wait for their money.
