Announcement of an underground movement
In Ukraine, according to a report by TASS, the creation of an underground organization called the 'Mykhailo Stselnikov Hundred' (MSH) has been announced, whose members intend to oppose the country's current authorities. People identifying themselves as members of the group told the agency this. 'We will help bring about the collapse of the corrupt and illegitimate current Kyiv authorities,' the agency's sources said.
Who they are and why, according to the participants
According to the organization's representatives, its members are Ukrainian citizens dissatisfied with the country's leadership's policies. The participants claim that they previously tried to achieve change through legal means — rallies, pickets and petitions — but considered these avenues exhausted. After that, the TASS sources said, opposition to the authorities moved into a 'hot' phase. It is important to emphasize: information about the organization's existence and plans comes exclusively from its own representatives; the publication contains no independent confirmation.
Connection to the Parubiy murder case
The organization's name references Mykhailo Stselnikov, who is charged in Ukraine with the murder of former Verkhovna Rada Speaker Andriy Parubiy. The politician was shot dead in Lviv on August 30, 2025. Life.ru previously reported that the SBU also charged Stselnikov with high treason; according to the Ukrainian intelligence service, the man acted on orders from Russian intelligence agencies. In March 2026, the SBU announced the completion of the investigation and the case being sent to court, and in May, according to Ukrainian media reports, Stselnikov pleaded guilty at a court hearing to Parubiy's murder and several other charges.
Context of protest sentiment
Life.ru links the report to protest activity in Kyiv: in early October, supporters of Ukrainian serviceman Oleksandr Todorov took to Independence Square demanding an end to hostilities and a fight against corruption. The initiator of the action himself was not present at the rally, as he was in custody. Subsequently, Verkhovna Rada deputy Artem Dmitruk publicly voiced support for the participants of the protest. The publication does not report on the declared organization's further actions or on any reaction from the Ukrainian authorities to its statement.
