Today I received thousands of messages saying that I must

respond to the statements of Solovyov, who on a federal

channel, on the TV channel Rossiya, said the following.

What was said today by the press secretary, by President

Minister Sergeyevich Peskov, is the pure truth.

All these topics that this female citizen is presenting in this

form are well known in the Kremlin and have been dealt with from the first

minute.

And it is not for this bedraggled slut to open her filthy

mouth and pollute the space.

I wanted to ask us, women, when did

we lose this fine line, that now on a federal

channel women are being insulted?

Milonov.

I sincerely believed that Bonya was some kind of Dubai

cattle girl.

It turned out she is not from Dubai, it turns out she lives

in Monaco.

That is, she is saying something inarticulate with her lips

with her own, she moves it.

I think that “Bonnie” is one of those generic names

for women who accompany foreign tourists from the Middle

East in Dubai.

Because before that they only had camels to itch with.

And then they saw that there are fair-skinned girls,

so now they go with them.

Who in every other interview insult women

of Russia, call them prostitutes, escorts, and so on.

Then just recently, Artemy Lebedev, girls,

came on the show and live on air said,

when asked, “So what am I supposed to do if you are not

answering my questions in this round?” he said, “Suck.”

“So what am I supposed to do the whole round?”

“Suck.”

Seriously?

So, let us sort this out little by little.

So, Mr. Solovyov, I will call you Mr.

Solovyov, I will not stoop down to your level, I will not

to touch your child, because I am a mother, I could

do that, but I will not.

You are asking what status I have in Monaco?

I am a single mother raising a teenager.

What about that does not suit you?

I am an elderly woman, I am 46, so it turns out

that you, Solovyov, are addressing all the women of Russia

and saying that they have no right to vote and they are elderly?

It seems to me that in this context you look like an enemy

of the people, and in no way like someone who represents their interests.

Next, about taxes, I had a tax audit

for two years, we have all the reports, no

violations were found.

By the way, I studied economics, so I am financially

literate, thank God, I have never split up any

taxes or hidden them, never stole bribes, never took them.

So, I want to address women, us, you and me,

this is how they love and respect us, and keep in mind, in me

Further, this is about all the women of our country.

We women, I believe, must respond.

I think it is enough, it is over.

I think that just as easily as these people today insult

a woman mother, a woman of Russia, they must just as easily apologize,

also on federal channels, also on their shows.

And I will be preparing a lawsuit, definitely, I will be preparing

a class action lawsuit.

All those women, public women, who have encountered

these people who insulted them live

on air and so on, or, say, somewhere in the media,

join the class action lawsuit, I will definitely

be filing it.

Enough, that is enough.

For a long time we were silent, we let it slide, we pretended it would pass,

but I think it is time to make sure that today these

people are held accountable for their words.

And I will say it once again, I have spoken about this, but I will say it again,

Milonov is in charge of family and women’s issues in United Russia,

that very same woman-hater.

And I think that next time there are elections

to the Duma in Petersburg, for those who live there, women and men

who think adequately, I think it is necessary to reelect

someone else to that post.

Next, people like Artemy Lebedev, a girl, a young

girl, emotional, just could not answer.

I believe that shows with such people should not be watched.

And what he said about dogs is a completely separate story,

but I am not going to cram that in here yet, but look it up,

google it.

Next, Solovyov, I think you are also allowing yourself

far too much.

I understand that it is very hard for you to handle the fact

of who this Bonya is.

Who is Bonya?

Throughout your entire career, where you broadcast there on the federal

channels and sat on YouTube with your legs spread for years,

you have never gained the kind of audience I easily gain.

And what does that mean?

It means, who is Bonya?

I think now you will find out who Bonya is.

Viktoriya Anatolyevna Bonya, for you.

Please give her your love and respect.

So, I believe that such things must not be left unchecked,

because our children are watching all this.

Our children, Russian children, watch television, and we

see what kind of example those who broadcast from there set

toward women.

And what will they think?

Oh, so this is how you are supposed to talk to girls,

to women.

You are raising a generation, you must be an example.

I want to address all women, I want to address

all caring men who still have something manly.

I want us to unite and, together with you, just one

time at last, even Murochka, right, Mura?

Even Mura is already speaking up.

To finally, just once, fight back, give a worthy response,

which, of course, will stay within the legal framework

and within the bounds of our own choices.

What to watch, whom to follow, which shows to choose

for ourselves.

This is very important.

This is exactly how we can teach those who think

that we are rags they can use to mop the floor to respect us.

That is all I wanted to say.

Honestly, I wanted to spend the weekend differently, but

I got literally thousands of messages.

And yes, by the way, Solovyov, who am I?

Well, in a month I got half a billion visits

to my Instagram page.

I am also a blogger, in addition to being a mom.

And there are a lot of other moms like me

who raise their children alone.

“When you insult me, you insult all of them.”

I will explain how.

When Milonov, for example, talks about women like that,

what women’s interests can he possibly represent?

And Solovyov, when he speaks, your ears just curl up.

Because this was also on a federal channel, there

he already said plenty more on his own

shows.

I have not seen it, I do not watch it.

I am not interested.

People do send it, of course.

But I have heard about it.

I believe that we women, especially elderly women

over forty-six, like me, must defend our rights, must

teach these clowns—good word, by the way,

“clowns.”

There is no insult, and it says it all.

These clowns must learn to behave with dignity.

And if you want a dialogue, anyone, then have a dialogue.

If you do not know how to have a dialogue, you have no business

on a federal channel, in the Duma, or anywhere else.

Thank you.

Your deeply respected Viktoria Anatolyevna Bonya.
