El murid who is this? Interesting facts about blogger El-Murid - A.E.
Anatoly Nesmiyan, better known as El Murid, is a popular blogger and journalist who specializes in military-political topics. El Murid communicates with readers through the Internet platform Live Journal (LJ). A short biography of Anatoly Nesmiyan is presented in the article.
Blogger biography
Nesmiyan Anatoly Evgenievich was born on August 11, 1965 in the village of Krasilovka, Kyiv region. Almost nothing is known about our hero’s childhood. The guy grew up in his native village, which is located in the outback of the region. After the boy graduated from school, Anatoly Nesmiyan’s family sold their house in Krasilovka. The Nesmiyans left Ukraine and moved to the capital of the Russian Federation.
Here a boy from the outback decided to enter a prestigious university. While still at school, Anatoly became interested in chemistry. Therefore, the choice of the Moscow Institute of Chemical Technology did not come as a surprise to his parents. The future blogger successfully graduated from the chemistry department of the institute and immediately began looking for work: life in the capital requires a lot of money. Therefore, the Moscow Chemical Technology Institute graduate willingly took on any job.
Business projects
The guy rushed from one part-time job to another, looking for himself in different fields of activity. But all his efforts were in vain. Not a single job brought pleasure or the desired income to our hero: the young, competent and ambitious Anatoly Evgenievich Nesmiyan (El Murid).
When the 90s arrived, most people in our country had a hard time. Our hero's family also barely made ends meet. That is why in 1991, following the example of many of his comrades, Anatoly Evgenievich decided to go into business. This period of the last century allowed many entrepreneurs to rise in society. Those who were weaker could not withstand the competition and pressure, while the stronger people rose from their knees. Our hero belonged to the second group.
As it turned out, Anatoly Nesmiyan has excellent entrepreneurial acumen. He developed a number of projects that he successfully implemented.
A future Internet star, El Murid took up typography at the end of the 20th century. He became the head of Pechatny Dvor LLC, and later opened a printing company called the Business Documentation Center. Anatoly Nesmiyan’s next business project was a pub. Nesmiyan named his brainchild Bier-Hoff. The bar was quite popular among beer lovers and our hero’s business was developing rapidly.
Problems with law
Few of the entrepreneurs of the 90s did business honestly. Anatoly Evgenievich was also noticed for tax evasion and financial fraud. The enterprises of which he was the director were regularly subjected to all kinds of inspections. The sanitary-epidemiological service, firefighters, the prosecutor's office and other government agencies tirelessly visited the printing offices and our hero's bar, issuing more and more fines. Perhaps such attention to Nesmiyan’s person and his activities is due to great competition in the market and the tricks of envious people.
At some point, Anatoly Nesmiyan even came under arrest. El Murid was convicted of financial fraud in business and tax fraud. He spent some time behind bars, and upon his release he was forced to pay all the fines.
After this situation, Anatoly Nesmiyan decided to quit business. Journalists do not know what he was doing in the early 2000s. The blogger does not cover this period of his life in his LiveJournal.
When did the blog appear?
In 2008, our hero published the first entry in his LiveJournal. Anatoly Nesmiyan signed himself with the pseudonym El-Murid. He is known to the public by that name. And as an avatar (profile photo) I set an image of a man’s head in an oriental style headdress.
Initially, Anatoly Nesmiyan’s blog did not attract much attention. He published no more than 8 posts per month, the audience of subscribers was quite meager. Each new post had a general political focus.
El Murid (Anatoly Nesmiyan) began actively working on his LiveJournal in the fall of 2010. His journalistic writings on events in the Middle East attracted the attention of the general public. The blogger began to post much more posts - their number already exceeded 100 publications per month.
What is El Murid's blog about?
Initially, our hero’s blog was of a general political nature. He didn't elaborate on anything in particular. Later, El Murid began to describe the problems of the Middle East. In his LiveJournal, he covered military-political events in Syria, Libya and other countries.
Over time, Anatoly Nesmiyan devoted his blog to military-political conflicts, “color revolutions” in Ukraine, the West and the Middle East.
The people's journalist won recognition from his subscribers as an “expert in the countries of the East” and a “war correspondent.”
Recognition of excellence
Within three years, the popularity of El Murid's blog had become so high that the number of his subscribers was already measured in the hundreds of thousands, and the influence on the public was already obvious.
In 2011, our hero received a well-deserved award for his journalistic work. The authoritative commission of the Russian Biographical Institute awarded blogger Nesmiyan the “National Prize in the Blogosphere.” For his tireless work and enormous contribution to the development of the blogosphere and the formation of the civic position of the people, El Murid was recognized as “Blogger of the Year.”
A chemist by training, a former businessman, our hero did not even count on such success when he created his LiveJournal.
The following year, Nesmiyan's blog was devoted mainly to the acute military-political situation in Syria.
Independent expert at ANNA-News
After Nesmiyan was awarded the title “Blogger of the Year,” his popularity began to rise again. In 2012, Anatoly was invited to work at ANNA-News, an independent news agency. As an independent expert for ANNA-News, El Murid began to often appear in video projects and television programs.
At the same time, in collaboration with his friend and part-time head of the agency, Marat Musin, Anatoly Nesmiyan wrote the book “Syria, Libya, then everywhere.” For this work they received an International Prize from the Union of Writers of the Russian Federation.
Later, Nesmiyan published a number of books, including “If Tomorrow is War”, “Wahhabism in Russia. Theory and practice of terror". In his works, Anatoly speaks openly and sharply about the military-political situation in the country and the world as a whole. Calls on the Russian government not to interfere in the Syrian conflict.
Anatoly Nesmiyan about events in Ukraine
Despite the fact that Nesmiyan positions himself as an orientalist, he did not ignore the military-political conflict in Ukraine. A native of the Kyiv region, he nevertheless does not support the country's government. In his blog, El Murid openly expressed sympathy for the people’s militia and Mr. Strelkov, in particular, and mocked the Minsk agreements. Regarding the participation of the Russian Federation in the conflict, he says that Russia is afraid that, following the east of Ukraine, Europe will demand the return of Crimea. At the same time, El Murid suggests that Europeans are not interested in either Crimea or Donbass in themselves. These are just levers of pressure on Russia. As for the Ukrainian side, according to Nesmiyan, the Verkhovna Rada does not want to regain the territories of the LPR and DPR, but it also does not want to give up these lands.
El Murid considers the murders of prominent militia leaders Mozgovoy, Dremov, Batman and others to be attempts to drain Novorossiya. And the blogger calls the current rulers of the unrecognized republics Russian puppets.
Vivid political, economic and even military events often attract the interest of many users. Most of them want to stay informed about certain events and keep their finger on the pulse. All this is possible thanks to numerous popular journalists, streamers and bloggers. This is exactly what the well-known Anatoly Nesmiyan is, publishing posts on LiveJournal under the nickname El Murid. We will talk about it further.
Brief biographical information about the blogger
Nesmiyan Anatoly Evgenievich (his biography is associated with a number of contradictory data) was born in August 1965 in Ukraine. His native village, where he spent his entire childhood, was at that time called Krasilovka. This small village was located in the Kyiv region. However, it was still very far from the capital itself. It was here that the future blogger graduated from school.
Later, Anatoly Nesmiyan moved to Russia with his parents. Having settled in the capital, he submitted documents to the Moscow Institute of Chemical Technology. Having passed the exams, our hero entered the Faculty of Chemistry. After graduating from university, Anatoly went in search of work.
First earnings and self-employment
While living in Russia, Anatoly Nesmiyan changed not one, but several jobs at once. However, none of the professions he mastered took root. The strict and serious young man could not find a suitable place for himself that fully met his needs and capabilities.
This continued until 1991. From that time on, the author decided to open his own business and engage in private entrepreneurship. At that time, he managed to develop a number of projects related to media and printing. For example, under his strict leadership, Pechatny Dvor LLC and the printing Center for Business Documentation were created. A little later, Anatoly Nesmiyan even opened his own pub, which he called Bier-Hoff.
Trouble with the law and taxes
Despite the fact that Nesmiyan managed to reach certain heights in business, his business was not going as well as he would have liked. Whether because of envious people or competitors, representatives of various services began to visit the entrepreneur’s offices and representative offices more and more often.
A little later, he was even accused of tax evasion and conducting various financial transactions in business. Because of this, Anatoly Evgenievich Nesmiyan (El Murid) was taken into custody. After a small scandal and trial, the blogger was released, agreeing to pay the fine agreed upon by the court.
However, this administrative offense slightly spoiled the biography of our businessman, who decided to change his activity and do something calmer. At least that's what he thought.
Starting a Blog
Since 2011, Anatoly Nesmiyan (El Murid) began to maintain his own blog on LiveJournal. At that moment, he came up with the nickname El Murid and an avatar in the form of a man’s head in an oriental headdress. By the way, in miniature this image resembles a fly. That’s why many ill-wishers call this blogger an “annoying fly,” but more on that later.
Blogger topics and interests
In his LJ, blogger Anatoly Nesmiyan (El Murid) described the problems associated with the political and military situation in the Middle East. Here he wrote about Libya, Syria and other countries. The author covered real events related to civil wars and “color revolutions.” Later he began to position himself as a “military expert” and “orientalist.”
First awards and recognition in the blogosphere
As it turned out, Nesmiyan’s activities as a blogger were highly appreciated not only by the rapidly growing number of his subscribers, but also by recognition from other prominent figures in the blogosphere. Thus, in 2011 he was named “Blogger of the Year” and awarded the “National Blogosphere Award.” This award was presented to him by representatives of the Russian Biographical Institute. They also praised him for his specific contribution to the development of modern civil society.
Work for ANNA-NEWS and new responsibilities
Exactly one year after receiving his first award, El-Murid was invited to join an independent news agency called Anna-News. According to some reports, he was called by the head of the channel himself, Marat Musin, who had repeatedly expressed sympathy for the blogger.
Later, Nesmiyan began to position himself as an expert of this news agency. On his behalf, he increasingly appeared on various video projects, wrote on the pages of the Vzglyad publication, and starred in the Neuromir and Den-TV programs.
Coverage of events in Ukraine
After the coup d'etat in Ukraine, the blogger's informative collection included the political, economic and military intrigues of Kyiv. The topics of his posts increasingly became Crimea, Donetsk (DPR) and Lugansk (LPR). Despite the fact that bloggers most often take a neutral position, Anatoly increasingly supported the militia, Strelkov and harshly criticized the Minsk agreements. According to some reports, he even came to the conflict zone several times and personally met with Strelkov.
She compiled a report for senior Russian leadership on the state of affairs in Crimea. Tymchuk is an interested and impartial person, but the content of the report does not contain the slightest sensation; it basically repeats what was known three or four years ago, and only today it has become so widespread that it is easy to hide anything impossible, especially after the disaster in Armyansk (which meanwhile continues).
A separate issue is that in Russia itself this report will never be published (at least while Putin is in power), but everything is in order here - the crimes that his regime committed can be publicly announced only after its collapse. And in full - only if a tribunal is held to investigate them.
The main and absolutely insoluble problem of Crimea is the discrepancy between the available water resources and the population. The Crimean Canal is the only solution to this problem, since there are not enough sources of groundwater, and most importantly, their use will gradually lead to salinization of the productive layer of soil and its degradation, followed by the disappearance of agriculture as an industry in the region. Industry that consumes significant amounts of water poses additional challenges.
Transferring water to Crimea through the strait via a water pipeline is impossible - in the Russian regions surrounding Crimea there are no sources corresponding to the scope of the task. The nearest large river, the Don, is already “drained” dry. The option of building desalination stations in Crimea itself looks technically feasible, but firstly, in Crimea, even with the commissioning of new capacities and the transfer of energy from the mainland, there are still no sufficient power reserves, and secondly, the construction of a nuclear power plant on the peninsula is for geological reasons looks like a non-controversial decision. The main thing is that all this takes time, which is no longer available. The emphasis on the use of underground sources has already created an irreversible situation of degradation of farmland in northern Crimea, which in a few years will lead to its desertification. Simply put, they were late.
Putin, when making the decision to annex Crimea, did not take into account the entire range of emerging problems. Most likely, he didn’t even know about them. Gaps in his career and giant leaps between positions held at the district-regional-federal level have led to the fact that Putin simply does not and cannot have experience in systemic leadership, and therefore he is blatantly ignorant on most issues. The sycophantic advisors did not dare to question the genius of the decision, and as a result, the situation itself slipped into its current sad situation. Not only is it sad, it is hopeless. Autonomous from the mainland, Crimea is not self-sufficient in terms of resources for all vital resources; at the same time, it was not possible to solve the issues of energy and water supply for Putin’s half-dead economy.
In Ukraine they say that there were aggressive plans for Crimea long before its annexation. However, given the Kremlin’s failures to provide Crimea with basic resources, we can say with confidence that there were no sane or any well-developed plans. Even script ones. The decision to join was made, as is customary in today’s management paradigm in Russia, on the knees. A week before. (By the way, this is quite consistent with the information that was voiced earlier - the Russian General Staff received instructions to develop the operation of sending troops into Crimea only on the twentieth of January 2014, that is, the political decision was made no earlier than mid-January) In the same paradigm, all other decisions - on the Turkish Stream, on the "Minsk Truce", on the "turn to the East" - are everywhere outright convulsiveness and reflexivity with intellectual elaboration of the task at the level of infusoria.
At the end of his text, Tymchuk reports that the Kremlin has a point of view on the problem of Crimea in the complex of solving the problem of Ukraine - if in 1919 it is not possible to obtain a “pro-Russian” leadership in Ukraine, then even a military scenario is possible. Here, perhaps, one can disagree with Tymchuk (especially considering, as I wrote, his obvious impartiality and interest).
Firstly, regardless of the outcome of any elections in Ukraine, it is absurd to expect that some abstract “pro-Russian” leadership will come to power. The train left. If anyone in the Kremlin has illusions on this score, then the degree of inadequacy there is clearly off the charts.
Secondly, a war with Ukraine (even a limited one) is no longer possible for the Kremlin - neither for military nor for political reasons. The army is being drawn deeper into the Syrian adventure. Any aggravation of the situation in Ukraine will lead to an obvious solution for the West - the defeat of the Russian interventionist corps in Syria and the naval forces of the Russian Navy involved in its support. Secondly, carrying out a general mobilization for a war with Ukraine can lead to the opposite effect - today the Russian population does not have unanimous support for the issue of killing Ukrainians in the interests of the Putin clique, such a war will become unpopular from the first day.
Thirdly, in the event of war, the Kremlin will instantly be isolated from the rest of the world, a trade embargo will be introduced, the payment system will be disabled, the property and assets of the Russian mafia abroad will be confiscated and used to finance the war with Russia.
All this is so obvious that the threat of Russian aggression in Ukraine looks extremely unlikely. Of course, nothing can be ruled out, fortunately the Russian leadership is capable of any idiocy of any intensity, however, in matters of preserving their own skin and loot, they are guided not by the brain, but by spinal instincts.
