According to Fyodorov rock music is "U.S.-instigated sabotage". After Russian rock musician Andrey Makarevich performed for Ukraine's internally displaced people in the Ukrainian town Slovyansk during the war in Donbass in August 2014 Fyodorov vowed to introduce legislation to strip Makarevich of all Russian state honors because his performance in Slovansk was "collaborating with the fascists".
In September 2012, he stated that Russia and China were the leading powers in ending an alleged "colonization" of the world by the USA, where "everyone still plays by the American rules" .
In a long video-interview from May 2014, Fyodorov falsely predicted a violent coup d'état in Moscow and Russia within a couple of years, organized by the Western powers, this is, a US-EU funded "color revolution", (as those previously taking place in Georgia or Ukraine), with collaboration from a local "5th Column". The aim of such a "revolution" would be the grabbing of Russia's natural resources, after destroying the federation as such, which would lead to a dramatic population reduction, as a result of civil war, children's sterilization, LGBT agenda, famine, etc., "like it happened with the American Indians, also as it happed with the African Americans during age of slavery and segregation". This would take place as a continuation of NATO's policy towards the former Warsaw Pact countries. However, he stated, newborn People's Republics in Donetsk and Lugansk (collectively also known as Novorossia) were a hindrance to NATO strategy and a sign of popular reaction against US-EU's imperialism, able to encourage other former USSR citizens in Ukraine to break free from the Kiev government, and turn the course of events away from Western world dominance. Fyodorov also said that genocide and terror, sponsored by NATO, were taking place in Ukraine to a much larger extent than generally thought, using foreign mercenaries and Neo-nazis to terrorize and subdue the local population. Fyodorov said that his mass movement PLM (People's Liberation Movement, in Russian NOD, Национально-освободительное движение, sometimes known also as NLM, National Liberation Movement) had 100.000 members.
In March 2015, he claimed that the recent assassination of the Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov had been organized by the CIA.
In June 2015, he claimed that Russia´s acknowledgment of the independence of the Baltic states in 1991 had been illegal, and took initiative to the Russian State Prosecutor´s investigations on this subject .
In September 2017, he stated in an interview that the crisis surrounding North Korea´s nuclear program was that of a situation with freedom fighters battling against the world hegemony of the USA, who however seemed to be acting increasingly cowardly, when facing even small threats.
In January 2022, during the Russian-Ukrainian crisis, he proposed, among other things, to use nuclear weapons against the Nevada Test Site or to bomb American army laboratories as a warning.
In June 2022, during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Fyodorov called for the independent, free status of Lithuania to be repealed. Lithuania got its independence back in 1991 after it was occupied by the Soviet Union in 1940, but Fyodorov claimed that when Lithuania got its independence back, this was done in an illegal way, because it was Russia, as the successor state of the Soviet Union, which should have been granting Lithuania freedom. His argument about Russia being a successor state was based on an amendment to the Russian constitution in 2020. He also argued that the State Council of the Soviet Union, which granted the independence, was not mentioned in the Constitution of the Soviet Union, and therefore was unconstitutional. Further, Fyodorov claimed that Lithuania is a "disputed entity" and therefore according to article 6 of the North Atlantic Treaty cannot be a member of NATO. A spokesperson for the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry characterized his claims as "absurd". On June 14, the day of the 1941 deportation by the USSR of tens of thousands of people to Siberia from occupied Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, he threatened to propose similar laws to the Duma regarding Estonia, Latvia and Ukraine.
