Kirlian Camera – Part Two

Just a small update on Kirlian Camera.

Remember when Angelo Bergamini was posting a video documentary of Mariupol from italian ‘reporter’ Vittorio Nicola Rangeloni?

Well, our friends at Vatnik Soup have published a lovely article about that ‘reporter’, which, with their gentle authorization, we reprint partly here. You can go to their website to check the full article.

Rango grew up in Lecco, Italy. His mother was Russian, and because of this young Vittorio was told about the virtues and wonders of Russkiy Mir and the superiority of the communist system.

In his early 20s, Rango was yet to discover his role in this world. He enjoyed traveling, and decided to take his humble savings of 3000 EUR to relocate to his dream destination in the newly formed and completely made-up Donetsk People’s Republic.

While there, he met Janus Putkonen, a Finnish master vatnik/propagandist in charge of now-closed Doni News and the largest Finnish pro-Kremlin fake news blog MV-Lehti. Janus took the young Italian under his wing, showing him the ropes of the daily “journalism” he was doing.

Vittorio, aged 24, aspired a similar path and got into reporting himself. Vito would later state the militia had enough soldiers, probably due to the generous funding coming from the Kremlin, but that there weren’t enough “journalists” to cover the Kremlin’s lies.

Both Putkonen and Rangeloni were featured in VICE’s 2017 documentary about rave parties in DPR, in which they could freely spread false narratives about the culprits of the war (or the civil war, as they referred to it). Both of course claimed that Ukraine was the aggressor.

During his trip, Rango also met the DPR “Prime Minister” and terrorist Alexander Zakharchenko. Zakharchenko was notorious for his human right abuses, stating in an interview that he “won’t feel sorry for the civilians or anyone else”. In 2018, a bomb in a café took his life.

Rangeloni set up his own “news agency” called LNR Today-Italia, that covered news from the puppet states of Donetsk and Luhansk. It was organized information warfare targeted for the Italian-speaking audience. Soon after this, Ukrainian and Italian intelligence services started to take interest in the young Italian. In 2021, he was awarded with “One of the most important honours” of the Donbas. This strategy of awarding made-up medals is commonly used by the Kremlin and even the Defense Minister Shoigu has made up hundreds of medals.

Politically, Rango seems to be all over the place. While he has strong communist sympathies, he’s also leaning towards far-right ideologies, thus confirming the famous horseshoe theory. Some have suggested that his Kolovrat tattoo might be connected to Russian Rusich group.

In 2023, Rango was producing propaganda around Mariupol, and accidentally showed bodies lying on the streets of the city. Naturally, this caught the interest of Ukrainian officials, who downloaded the report as potential evidence for Russian war crimes. Oops!

In Italy, he sympathizes with Lega, a political party that had a strong alliance with Putin’s United Russia before the full-scale invasion.

In 2019, Buzzfeed revealed that the Kremlin attempted to funnel millions to Lega to support their political ambitions.

To conclude, Rango is a pro-Kremlin propagandist serving the typical bullshit propaganda for Italian-speaking audiences. Together with the likes of Janus Putkonen, Graham Phillips and Patrick Lancaster, he produces biased “journalism” for Russia.

So, Angelo?

Also, something worth mentioning.

On 23 April, so just one week after we published the first part about Kirlian Camera, Mia Winter Wallace, the bassist of Kirlian Camera but also Abbath / Nervosa, announced she was leaving Kirlian Camera due to “irreconciliable incompatibilities and differences of views at many levels”.

Well, we wonder what these incompatabilities could be.

Kudos to her for standing with Ukraine.

Italian band Kirlian Camera, fronted by Angelo Bergamini and Elena Fossi who actually runs the social networks of the band, has been very very shy regarding the full scale invasion war of Ukraine by russia, but reading between the lines makes it quite clear.

28 February 2002, “No comment to say” and a list of US bombings since the 1950’s is all that Angelo Bergamini could post on his Facebook private account. The usual whataboutism always used by vatniks.

Angelo Bergamini blocked comments on this post on the several next ones, but one could have listed to him the numerous wars ran by russia in the same period.

1937-1947 – Poland
1939-1940 – Finland
1939-1956 – Estonia, Lituania, Latvia
1940-1958 – Romania
1944-1946 – Bulgaria
1946-1954 – involvement in the first Indochina War
1948 – Czechoslovakia
1950-1953 – support for North Korea in the Korean War
1955-1975 – support for the Vietnam war
1953 – suppression of uprising in East Germany
1956 – suppression of the Hungarian revolution
1961 – Albania
1968 – suppression of the Prague Spring and invasion of Czechoslovakia
1969 – the China/USSR border conflict
1969-1970 – the war of attrition of Israel, with Egypt
1975-1991 – civil war in Angola
1977-1978 – Ethiopian/Somalian war
1979-1989 – invasion of Afghanistan
1986 – uprising in Kazakhstan
1989-1991 – Azerbaijan
1990-1991 – Lithuania
1990-1991 – Latvia
1991 – Estonia
1991-1993 – suppression of the civil war in Georgia
1991-1992 – South Ossetia
1992-1993 – Abkhazia
1992-… – Moldavia & Transnistria
1992-1997 – civil war in Tajikistan
1994-1996 – First war in Chechnya
1999 – Dagestan
1999-2009 – Second war in Chechnya
2008 – Georgia
2014-today – Ukraine
2015-today – Syria
2018-today – civil war in central African Republic
2021-today – Mali
2024-today – Burkina Faso’

We could expand the list with Finland again, Tannu-Tuva, the Basmachi movement, Armenia, the North Caucasus republic, the Bashkortostan, the Tatars of Crimea, the Don Republic, the Tatar republic of Idel-Ural, Belarus, Kalmykia, Mongolia, Karelia, the Tungus Republic, the Sakha nation, the Khazyms and Dolgans in Siberia, the Nenets… from 1917 to the 50’s.

Ah yeah, a Dostoevsky portrait, “I don’t comment and I don’t explain”. That’s what Zimone should probably do. “People talk too much” indeed, same goes for the rest.

But we see clearly where we’re going with that April 2 2022 post, with a video report from Mariupol by pro-russian vlogger Vittorio Rangeloni who has been covering the russian-occupied side of Donbas for years (and made his business out of it).

There we go with some Assange shitposting.

What’s worth mentioning here in the vatniks comments is that the person – Elena Fossi – who runs the Facebook page of Kirlian Camera puts some little hearts on some of the comments, like that Edward Snowden “safe in russia” or others…

Back to Angelo Bergamini’s private Faecbook account with this.

What do you think about CSTO, Angelo?

One more post about Assange by Elena Fossi on the Facebook page of Kirlian Camera.

Still worth to mention that our dear Elena has put little hearts/likes on all of the comments – ALL except one : the one that says “Free Ukraine”.

We know where your heart is, Elena & Angelo.

And let’s finish with this lovely post from Angelo to his “dear friend” Tucker Carlson.

Is your idiot brain getting fucked by stupid?

Oh noes, poor kitty elena has a sad, kirlian camera can’t play in russia. Also, elena’s butt.
