". In a long video interview from May 2014, Fyodorov predicted a violent coup d'état in Moscow and Russia within a couple of years, organized by Western countries. He stated it would be a US-European-supported "color revolution" (as those previously taking place in Georgia or Ukraine), with collaboration from a local "5th Column". The aim of such a "revolution" would be the grabbing of Russia's natural resources, after abolishing the state as such, which would lead to a dramatic population reduction, as a result of civil war, children's sterilization, LGBT agenda, famine, etc., "like it happened with the American Indians, also as it happed with the African Americans during age of slavery and segregation". This would take place as a continuation of NATO's policy towards the former Warsaw Pact countries, he stated. However, he stated, newborn "People's Republics" in Donetsk and Lugansk (collectively also known as "Novorossia") were a hindrance to NATO's strategy and an ostensible sign of Ukrainians' popular reaction against US-EU's imperialism, able to encourage other former Soviet citizens in Ukraine to break free from the government in Kyiv, and turn the course of events away from Western world dominance. Fyodorov also said that genocide and terror, sponsored by NATO, were taking place in Ukraine to a much larger extent than generally thought, using foreign mercenaries and Neo-Nazis to terrorize and subdue the local population. Fyodorov said that his mass movement PLM (People's Liberation Movement, in Russian NOD, Национально-освободительное движение, sometimes known also as NLM, National Liberation Movement) had 100,000 members. No such coup ended up occurring. In January 2022, during the Russian-Ukrainian crisis, he proposed, among other things, to use nuclear weapons against the
