Marats Kasems wrote that among Leonīds Ragozins' supporters was Anatolijs Golubovs, who, according to him, led the Russian-language version of Delfi for 25 years, as well as Berezovska, Buzajevs, the so-called "good Russians," and Sputnik employees. Kasems noted that he had researched the list of Ragozin's fan group members and published the first part of the article; he promised the second part would come later. He categorized the people mentioned in the list into three groups: the so-called good Russians, Sputnik employees, and journalists from the Russian-language version of Delfi. Kasems wrote that some of them were offended by Latvia or felt that they had been treated unfairly, while others had publicly expressed hatred towards the country for years. He also mentioned comments from Mamikins and former deputy editor of the Russian-language version of Delfi, Kim Kosmachev, noting that neither had signed Ragozin's statement of support. Golubovs, according to Kasems, had signed. In the list, Kasems mentioned Lev Kadik, describing him as a leftist anarchist and a former newspaper employee, as well as a former commentator for the Russian-language version of Delfi. He indicated Iļja Kozin as a former employee of Latvian public media. Regarding Mitrofan Slobodjans, Kasems wrote that he had been a member of the Harmony Center party and, according to KNAB data, had donated money to the party. He also claimed that Slobodjans, along with Antonina Nenaševa, had been an assistant to Saeima deputy Holostovs, and Holostov was evaluated very derogatorily. Kasems described Iļja Azars as a "good Russian" and claimed that in an interview, Azars had tried to convince him of Russian discrimination in Latvia. He also mentioned Delfi and LSM journalist Maria Kugela and Aleksandrs Giļmanis. Regarding Giļmanis, Kasems claimed that he had urged Latvian school students' parents to teach their children to fight against fascists, meaning Latvians. #Ragozins #vatņiki #sputnik #propaganda #delfi #Ragozins #propaganda #delfi (translated)

As reported by the Latvian media LSM, citing claims from Janis Sarts, director of NATO's Strategic Communications Centre in Riga, this group is allegedly just a cover for Russian or Belarusian intelligence agencies, allowing them to carry out sabotage or other hybrid operations. #CrnaRus #Bjelorusija #hibridneOperacije (translated)

Marats Kasems criticized the Progressive Party's actions regarding the scandal involving former Riga City Council deputy Mārtiņš Eņģelis. He claimed that the party leadership did not immediately go to the police after reports of the sexual exploitation of a minor girl, citing the girl's request to remain silent about the incident. Kasems suggested that the decision may have been influenced by the upcoming elections, which, according to him, were expected in a few days. Kasems pointed out that before the scandal, the party's public stance on Eņģelis was related to workplace burnout. He also accused the public media LSM of allegedly defending the party and presenting sexual offenses as a tool for political struggle. Kasems wrote that he took this case personally, as he had been an orphan since the age of 11 after his mother's death and had sought help from the municipality. He expressed hope that the law enforcement agencies would continue to review the case. #Progresīvie #bārene #LSM #RīgasDome #StambulasKonvencija #Progresīvie #bārene #RīgasDome (translated)

Eriks Stendzenieks wrote that Leitāni, Neimanes, and LSM acted contrary to the fundamental principles of journalism, turned against the whistleblower and those who publicized the scandal, as well as justified and covered up individuals associated with the concealment of sexual crimes. He characterized this behavior as particularly harmful to journalism and pointed out that it is especially catastrophic that LSM is a publicly funded media outlet. #žurnālistika #sabiedriskajiemediem #medijuētika (translated)

Ansis Pūpols asked why the LSM journalist Eva Johansone's association Ascendum distributed what he believed to be a radical pro-Palestinian ideology, pointing out that the association received 222,000 euros from the state budget last year. He linked his question to Satori's news editor Agnese Radziņa, claiming that she had previously been a candidate for the Progressive party's Saeima deputy and had worked in the association ProtestsYouth, which Pūpols described as a radical pro-Palestinian organization. Pūpols asked Eva Johansone whether Satori publications are written in the "Bakery" and whether Ascendum collaborates with the State Security Service in preventing radical extremism. He concluded the post with the hashtag "StateMoneyForOwn." #ValstsNaudaSavējiem #Žurnālistika #Propalestine #Sabiedrība (translated)

Jānis Citskovskis wrote that in the published declaration of the former Director of the State Chancellery, Kronbergs, a compensation of 78,982 euros for 4.5 months of work in 2026 was indicated, although his monthly salary, according to Citskovskis, was 6,346 euros. He called on Andris Kulbergs to find out whether, with Prime Minister Evika Siliņa and Kronbergs agreeing on the termination of civil service relations, Kronbergs was also paid a severance allowance of three months' salary — more than 19 thousand euros. Citskovskis pointed out that the KNAB detained Kronbergs on May 14 of this year in a criminal case involving the timber industry, and Siliņa initially suspended him from office. Referring to what Kronbergs told LSM, he wrote that Kronbergs initially wanted to submit his resignation, but Siliņa urged him to reconsider. Later, they agreed to terminate civil service relations as of May 18. In Citskovskis' view, if Kronbergs had left voluntarily, he would not be entitled to the allowance, but the agreement might have allowed him to receive it according to paragraph 3 of section 12.¹ of the Compensation Law. Citskovskis mentioned court decisions in criminal cases regarding, in his opinion, illegal allowances paid to departing employees, including cases involving the former rector of the University of Latvia, Muižnieks, and the former mayor of Mārupe, Enci. He suggested that the agreement between Siliņa and Kronbergs might also be evaluated by the Prosecutor's Office. He also claimed that the amounts paid to Kronbergs were not listed in the salary lists published by the State Chancellery for May 2026, but the SRS only published his declaration submitted on July 5 on the evening of October 2. Citskovskis called on Andris Kulbergs and Mārtiņš Gruškevics to address the officials of the State Chancellery, whom he believes have repeatedly violated the requirement to publish paid salaries. He asserted that the lists tend not to be available precisely in the months when bonuses and cash prizes are paid, such as in December 2025, and that they are published with significant delays. #ValstsKanceleja #Amatpersonas #Transparence (translated)
