Putin Envoy Blasts Zohran: ‘Comrade Mamdani Is Doing a Solid Job Steering U.S. Toward Communism’Olivia Rondeau 2 Jan 2026
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s envoy told New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani that his collectivist method of governing has been “done before,” saying the new leader is “doing a solid job steering the U.S. toward Communism.”
Kirill Dmitriev, chief executive officer of Russia’s $10 billion RDIF investment fund and the Kremlin’s investment envoy to America, emerged as a “key player” in negotiations on Moscow’s war in Ukraine, the Associated Press reported in November.
He took to X on Friday, the day after Mamdani’s inauguration, to share takes that garnered attention from Americans.
“We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism,” the NYC mayor said as he addressed his new constituents.
Dmitriev responded to the clip, writing, “Dear Comrade Mamdani — just a friendly reminder that this has been tried before.”
