Most recently, Kuznetsov and Stolyarov made Hillary Clinton a horse by making her believe that she was talking to former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on the phone and by promising her that they would find incriminating evidence about Republican candidate Donald Trump before the election. The pseudo-Porosenko actually interfered in the internal affairs of the United States, but in his case there is a difference - he did it for the benefit of the liberal democrats...

Two Russian comedians, Vovan (Vladimir Kuznetsov) and Lexus (Aleksei Stolyarov), who became known for deceiving a number of Western politicians, received a state award in the Kremlin, the RIA Novosti news agency reported on Thursday.

Kuznetsov and Stolyarov most recently came into the national spotlight in Russia on Wednesday, when a conversation they recorded impersonating former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko with former US Secretary of State and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was released. During the conversation, Clinton, among other things, accepted the fake Poroshenko's offer to "find something" about the Republican candidate Donald Trump before the US presidential election and "attack him from the side".

“Okay. I am involved in everything that can be done to confront him, because he is a very dangerous person."

Clinton said, according to the recording released by Vovan and Lexus.

He voiced his opinion that the re-election of his former defeat would be "very bad" for the United States and the rest of the world, including Ukraine.

“If the worst happens, if Trump wins, we all have to decide what to do. But I don't think that's going to happen," Hillary Clinton insisted.

Russian foreign affairs spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday:

"If a similar recording were found, in which someone from the Republicans, not Hillary Clinton, appears - with the same content - they would be accused of collusion with foreigners in the United States. First. Second, they would be accused of striking a blow at American democracy by interfering in the internal affairs of another foreign state."

Zaharova noted that with the conversation with Clinton, the pseudo-Porosenko actually interfered in the internal affairs of the United States, but in his case there is a difference - that he did it for the benefit of the liberal Democrats.

"For them, as they say, all tools are good, and they don't smell their own in this case. Whether it is the corruption of Joe Biden (President) or the interference of another country in their election. They will do anything for their selfish interests. I wouldn't allow anyone else to do something like that, not even in thousandths or billionths," Zaharova insisted.

Clinton also told the fake Poroshenko that, in order to re-elect Biden, Ukraine must demonstrate military success and go on the offensive with the support of Washington. As he said, "proving endurance" will send a strong message from Kyiv to the world.

"You need to know what you need to move forward as quickly as possible, and we will do everything possible to continue to support you and President Biden," the former US secretary of state said.

Writer Zahar Prilepin, co-chairman of the Just Russia party, who fought as a volunteer on the side of the separatists in the Donets Basin in the previous decade, received a state award. Ukrainian secret services tried to blow up the car carrying Prilepin in Nizhny Novgorod last May. The writer was seriously injured, the driver of the vehicle lost his life. Three-time Olympic figure skater Irina Rodnina, member of parliament, actor Sergey Bezrukov, and producer and media technologist Sargis Mirzakhanyan were also awarded.
