Famous Russophobes. Traitor-artists of Russia: who are they? List, photo. The only thing that can be opposed to this is honest information. Write about the Russophobic antics of movie actors and pop figures as often and as much as possible. Write with evidence
Searches for “Russophobia” in the works of Russian classics.
And in " Dead souls"You can find RUSOPHOBIA for a Russophobe (if desired).
The generalization to which Gogol’s artistic thought always gravitated is received in “Dead Souls” new uniform. “In this novel I want to show... all of Rus',” he wrote in a letter to Pushkin.
N.V. Gogol hated serfdom, therefore in the poem “Dead Souls” he angrily denounces serfdom, which leads to the impoverishment of the country, to its economic and cultural backwardness, to the extinction of the peasantry.
Moving with Chichikov from landowner to landowner, the reader seems to sink deeper and deeper into the “stunning mud” of vulgarity, pettiness, and depravity. Negative traits gradually thicken, and the gallery of landowners, beginning with the comic Manilov, is concluded by Plyushkin, who is not so much funny as disgusting.
Gogol reveals the great drama of the enslaved people. Feudal oppression, unlimited power over the peasants of boxes and plushkins cripples the living soul of the people, dooming them to ignorance and poverty.
The footman Petrushka and the coachman Selifan, Uncle Mityai and Uncle Minyai, Proshka and the girl Pelageya, who “doesn’t know where the right is and where the left” are depicted in a humorous manner. The spiritual world of these downtrodden people is narrow. Their actions cause bitter laughter. Drunk Selifan makes lengthy speeches addressed to the horses. Petrushka, reading books, watches how some words are formed from individual letters, not at all interested in the content of what he read: “If they turned him up to chemistry, he wouldn’t refuse it either.” The clueless Uncle Mityai and Uncle Minyai cannot separate horses that are entangled in the lines.
"Dead Souls" is a poem about Russia. The author successfully chose the plot and managed to realize his plan. Concept " dead souls"is refracted in a variety of ways in the poem, constantly moving from one semantic plane to another (dead souls - like dead serfs and like spiritually dead landowners and officials).
However, with the concept of the death of the human soul is connected the hope for a fervently desired revival. Therefore, we can say that the author’s main concern and concern was precisely living Russia.
Well, Russia will find the means to move its poor, homeless life spread over the widest expanses. Gogol does not know what means these will be, but he sincerely believes in the strength of the Russian people and the great future of Russia: “Rus! Rus'! I see you, from my wonderful, beautiful distance I see you: poor, scattered and uncomfortable in you, open, deserted and exactly everything is in you;...but what kind of incomprehensible...power attracts you? Why is your sad...song heard and heard, what does this vast expanse prophesy? Is it not here that boundless thoughts will be born in you? itself endlessly? Shouldn’t a hero be here when there are places for him to turn around and walk?”
Ardent faith in the hidden but immense strength of his people, love for his homeland allowed Gogol to imagine its great and wonderful future.
Russophobia in Lermontov?
Russophobes will find it!
Motherland
I love my fatherland, but with a strange love!
My reason will not defeat her.
Nor glory bought with blood,
Nor the peace full of proud trust,
Nor the dark old treasured legends
No joyful dreams stir within me.
But I love - for what, I don’t know myself -
Its steppes are coldly silent,
Her boundless forests sway,
The floods of its rivers are like seas;
On a country road I like to ride in a cart
And, with a slow gaze piercing the shadow of the night,
Meet on the sides, sighing for an overnight stay,
The trembling lights of sad villages;
I love the smoke of burnt stubble,
.........................
BUT!
In the poem “Motherland,” Lermontov talks about his love for the Russian people and declares his blood connection with them, as well as his love for nature. He, together with the people, experiences their sorrows and joys, therefore his love "strange". It contradicts the norms of that life: dislike for masters, autocracy, serfdom and love for the common people and nature. Lermontov was able to comprehend the shortcomings of the society of that time and was able to understand that only the people could save the country from the wrong path along which it was going. Lermontov is indifferent to military glory, to the cherished legends of dark antiquity. Both longing and love for one’s native land can be read in the following lines: “But I love—for what reason, I don’t know—its cold silence of the steppes...” Love and patriotism are heard in the poem “Motherland”.
Analyzing the poem “Motherland,” we can say that its poetic language is expressive. The poet experienced the suffering of the Russian people as his own, and therefore expressed his thoughts through personal perception. Epithets are used that reflect emotional experience, metaphors are used less. The poem is easier to read due to the relaxed form of colloquial speech.
Main idea poems: “I love my fatherland, but with a strange love!” Theme of love for homeland is emphasized by the repetition of verbs indicating the poet’s attitude: "but I love", “I love to ride in a cart”,"I love the smoke" etc.
20 apt quotes from Saltykov-Shchedrin: not in the eyebrow, but in the eye
Open any of his works - it seems that he is writing about today. You just wonder: did he manage to look into the future or has nothing changed in these 150 years?

Russophobe, sir! Screw up Shchedrin! ( Noway (http://antifa.p0.ru/publ/2-1-0-22)
What should we do with Kozlov? Is he a true patriot or a Russophobe? Should I hit him in the eyebrow or in the eye? Or - "Certificate of Honor"?
**************************************************************************************************************************************************
Let's get creative Noway, the author exclaims:
“And Nekrasov, Nekrasov!!!
And quotes:
“Finally from Konigsberg / I approached the country / Where they don’t like Guttenberg / And they find a taste in shit / I drank Russian infusion / Heard f..... mother / And they went before me / To write Russian faces.”
And he states:
And this, mind you, is a man whose soul ached for his native people. However, from the point of view of the “patriot” - Russophobe clean water. And “Who lives well in Rus'” is generally Russophobia from top to bottom (http://antifa.p0.ru/publ/2-1-0-22).
Marx (from the work “Exposure of the Diplomatic History of the 18th Century”): “Muscovy was educated and raised in the terrible and vile school of Mongol slavery. She was strengthened only by becoming virtuosa in the art of slavery. Even after her liberation, Muscovy continued to play her traditional role a slave who became a master. Subsequently, Peter the Great combined the political art of the Mongol slave with the proud aspirations of the Mongol ruler, to whom Genghis Khan bequeathed to carry out his plan for conquering the world... Just as she did with the Golden Horde, Russia is now dealing with the West in order to become a master. over the Mongols, Muscovy had to become Tatarized. In order to become a master over the West, it must become civilized... while remaining a Slave, that is, giving the Russians that outward touch of civilization that would prepare them to accept the technology of Western peoples, without infecting them with the ideas of the latter."
Engels (C) 1866: “As for Russia, it can only be mentioned as the owner of an enormous amount of stolen property, which it will have to give back on the day of reckoning.”
Engels (about Napoleon’s campaign against Moscow in 1812): “Cossacks, Bashkirs and other bandit rabble defeated the republic, the heir of the Great French Revolution.”
Marx - speech at a Polish rally (C) 1867: “I ask you, what has changed? Has the danger from Russia decreased? No! Only the mental blindness of the ruling classes of Europe has reached its limit... Guiding Star This policy - world domination - remains unchanged. Only a cunning government ruling over masses of barbarians can now conceive such plans... So, for Europe there is only one alternative: either the MUSCOVITE-LEADED ASIAN BARBARY will fall like an avalanche on its head, or it must restore Poland by protecting itself thus from Asia twenty million heroes."
Engels (from the article “Democratic Pan-Slavism”): “Then the struggle, the RUTHLESS STRUGGLE for life and death WITH THE SLAVRY, betraying the revolution, the struggle FOR DESTRUCTION and RUTHLESS TERRORISM - is not in the interests of Germany, but in the interests of the revolution.”
Engels: "Europe [faces] an alternative: either its conquest by the Slavs, or the DESTRUCTION FOREVER of the center of their offensive power - Russia."
Engels (C) 1849: “There CANNOT BE ANY SPEAKING about German interests, about German freedom, about German unity, German welfare, when the question is about freedom or oppression, about the happiness or misfortune of ALL EUROPE. All national questions end here, here exists ONLY ONE QUESTION! DO YOU WANT TO BE FREE or DO YOU WANT TO BE UNDER THE FIFTH OF RUSSIA?”
Engels (from the work “Democratic Pan-Slavism”): “Peoples who never had their own history, who, from the moment they reached the first, lowest stage of civilization, had already fallen under foreign power or ONLY WITH THE HELP OF A FOREIGN YOKE WERE FORCED (!!!) RAISED TO THE FIRST STAGE OF CIVILIZATION, are unviable and will never be able to gain any independence. This was precisely the fate of the Austrian Slavs, to whom we also include the Moravians and Slovaks... never had their own history... AND THIS "NATION" , HISTORICALLY NON-EXISTENT, IS CLAIMS TO INDEPENDENCE?”
Engels (again from the work “Democratic Pan-Slavism”): “While the French, Germans, Italians, Poles, Magyars raised the banner of revolution, the Slavs, as one person, came out under the banner of counter-revolution. Leading the way were the southern Slavs, who had long defended their COUNTER-REVOLUTIONARY, SEPARATIST ADVANCES AGAINST THE MAGYAR, then the Czechs, and behind them the Russians, armed and ready to appear at the decisive moment on the battlefield"
In 1882, Engels still considered the Slavs the mortal enemy of the West and confided in Kautsky: “You might ask me whether I really have no sympathy for the small Slavic peoples and fragments of peoples, divided by three wedges driven into the Slavs: German, Magyar and Turkish ? Really - damn little."
In 1865, when proposing to the London Conference a draft program for the Geneva Congress of the International (International Workers' Association), Marx left only one question in the entire section “International Politics”: “On the need to destroy Muscovite influence in Europe by implementing the right of nations to self-determination and the restoration of Poland on democratic and social foundations"(Works, vol. 301, p. 409). Thus, the right of nations to self-determination is only for Poland, and not for its sake, but as a means of “destroying Muscovite influence in Europe” (how eloquently this word is “Muscovite”). This proposal was included in the agenda of the Congress as item 9: “The Muscovite threat to Europe and the restoration of an independent and united Poland.”
Few people in the USSR read the complete collected works. But part of the intellectual political elite, from which the perestroika cadres emerged, read Marx and Engels very carefully. And from these works they received a lot - a charge of Eurocentrism, and the courage of thought dividing peoples into progressive Western and reactionary Slavic ones, and calcined Russophobia.
Russophobia - a biased, hostile, suspicious, hostile attitude towards Russians and/or Russia; a special case of xenophobia, represents a specific direction in ethnophobia. The opposite in meaning term “Russophilia” is also known - love for everything Russian, for Russia, for Russian culture, as well as for the Russians themselves.
Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev. Portrait by Alexandrovsky
The word “Russophobia” was first used in 1867, in a letter from the great Russian poet and diplomat Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev to his daughter. Tyutchev’s remark turned out so well that it can be inserted into modern articles without correcting a single word in it:
“This is the Russophobia of some Russian people - by the way, very revered ones. They used to tell us, and they really believed so, that in Russia they hate the lack of rights, the lack of freedom of the press, etc., etc., that it is precisely because they love Europe so dearly that it undoubtedly has everything that is not in Russia. What do we see now? As Russia, seeking greater freedom, asserts itself more and more, the dislike of these gentlemen towards it only intensifies. And on the contrary, we see that no violations in the field of justice, morality and even civilization, which are allowed in Europe, have not in the least reduced the predilection for it. In a word, in the phenomenon that I have in mind, there can be no talk of principles as such; only instincts act here, and it is precisely the nature of these instincts that should be understood.”
The emergence of Russophobia in the West
Russophobia as a trend of ideology arose in the West in the 16th century, which was associated with the expansionist policy of Poland, which sought to subjugate lands in the East (that is, Russian lands).
Poland was the largest Catholic country closest to Russia, and much of the information about Muscovy came to Europe from the Poles, who worked hard to form in the West a negative image of “barbaric” “Asian” Russia, with which Poland fought repeatedly during the 16th-17th centuries. Then these Russophobic ideas were picked up by other Western countries, which came into conflict with Russia as its geopolitical positions strengthened in the 18th-20th centuries.
6 Most Famous Russophobes in Russian History
Chevalier d'Eon, aka Mademoiselle de Beaumont (1728-1810)
French secret agent, famous fencer, transvestite, spent the first half of his life as a man, and the second half as a woman. The question of the Chevalier's true gender remains open.
According to the publishers, d’Eon “discovered” the so-called “Testament of Peter the Great” in St. Petersburg and took it to France. This falsification was published in French in 1812 (immediately after the collapse of Napoleon’s invasion of Russia) in Lesure’s book “On the growth of Russian power from its very beginning to XIX century" According to the publishers, the document was a strategic plan of action for the successors of Peter the Great for many centuries to come, with the goal of establishing world domination by Russia; the goal was “to get as close as possible to Constantinople and the Indies.” This fake was originally created in the political interests of the French ruling circles and then was widely used in anti-Russian propaganda of the 19th-20th centuries, especially during the wars (Crimean and World War I). The origin of the “will” is not entirely clear, but at least some historians believe that d’Eon, who spied on the Russian Empress Elizabeth (daughter of Peter I) and tried to disrupt the Russian-Austrian alliance, could actually be involved in fabricating the original version of this forgery .
Michal Sokolnicki (1760-1816)
Polish general, participant in the Russian-Polish War of 1792, the Kosciuszko Uprising and the Napoleonic Wars on the side of Napoleon.
Written in February 1812 detailed plan attack on Russia and its subsequent dismemberment “On ways to rid Europe of the influence of Russia, and thanks to this, of the influence of England.” IN recent years it is believed that this document played a crucial role in the beginning of the War of 1812. In the summer of 1812, Sokolnitsky was seconded to Napoleon as the main “expert” on Russia, which he called in his writing the “Empire of Darkness.” At the same time, Sokolnitsky himself willingly passed off typical Russophobic myths as real intelligence data. Here, for example, is what he wrote, justifying the possibility of stirring up unrest on the outskirts of Russia:
"as for Crimean Tatars, then they could be easily influenced with the help of their neighbors - the Tatars living in Lithuania. For all their lack of education and downtroddenness, these nationalities are endowed with a certain natural ingenuity, and even a certain sublimity of feelings, which is not at all characteristic of the Russian nation.”
It goes without saying that in Sokolnitsky’s plan there was a place for Poland from sea to sea. However, the real significance of this plan is that Napoleon, by no means sympathizing with such grandiose Polish plans, nevertheless took the derogatory characteristics given by Sokolnitsky to Russia and its people at face value and, as a result, started the War of 1812.
Astolphe de Custine (1790-1867)
IFrench aristocrat and ardent monarchist, allegedly bisexual; gained fame through the publication of his notes on Russia. “Custine is considered a classic of world Russophobia, its champion and record holder.”
The author of the Russophobic book “Russia in 1839”, repeatedly republished in Europe, where he described Russia as a country of “barbarians” and “slaves”, “universal fear” and “bureaucratic tyranny”.
The author of the meme about Russia as a “prison of nations”, in which Tsar Nicholas I is the “overseer”.
He accused Nicholas I of allegedly “being mired in debauchery and dishonoring a huge number of decent girls and women,” despite the fact that both contemporaries and historians consider Emperor Nicholas a man of extremely strict rules and a monogamous man who loved his wife all his life.
He colorfully described the severe Russian frosts, although he traveled around Russia in the summer.
Charles Stratford-Canning, Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe (1786-1880)
English diplomat. By 1832, he had created such a reputation for himself that Nicholas I flatly refused to let him into St. Petersburg when he was appointed ambassador to Russia.
Later, in 1841-1858. (with breaks in 1847 and 1852-1853) was ambassador to Turkey, where he contributed by all means to the beginning and growth Crimean War. Upon his retirement in 1858, he also wrote Russophobic articles on the Eastern Question.
Karl Marx (1818-1883) and Friedrich Engels (1820-1895)
The founders of communism. For many years they lived and worked with all the comforts in Britain - the center of world capitalism - calling from there for revolutions in their native Germany and in other countries. Due to the large number of Russophobic passages in their works, their complete collected works were never published in the Soviet Union (where Marx and Engels were considered luminaries of science and the highest authorities).
They considered Russia the main obstacle to the implementation of their plans for world revolution: “Slavic barbarians are natural counter-revolutionaries, special enemies of democracy” (Marx).
Engels created and spread the myth about the threat of Pan-Slavism to the “civilized nations” of Europe: “this is an absurd, ahistorical movement, which has set itself the goal of nothing less than to subordinate the civilized West to the barbaric East, the city to the countryside, trade, industry, spiritual culture to primitive agriculture.” Slavic serfs... Behind this ridiculous theory stood a formidable reality in the face Russian Empire... in every step of which one discovers a claim to consider the whole of Europe as the property of the Slavic tribe.”
Engels wrote that there was a need for “a ruthless life-and-death struggle against the treacherous Slavs, traitorous to the revolution... a war of extermination and unbridled terror.” “Yes, the coming world war will wipe out from the face of the earth not only reactionary classes and dynasties, but also entire reactionary peoples - and this will also be progress!”
Emperor of Austria, and later of Austria-Hungary almost until the very end of the latter's existence. In 1848, he was very close to the Russian Emperor Nicholas I, who considered Franz Joseph to be a literal son and even helped keep Austria from collapse in 1848 during the Hungarian Revolution. Franz Joseph “repaid” for this during the Crimean War, demanding that Russia accept the terms of the ultimatum of the Western allies.
Soon, Austria was severely punished for betrayal by proxy - a significant part of its possessions in Italy was immediately taken away from the country, which had lost its key ally, and then deprived of leadership in the German Confederation and turned into an unstable Austro-Hungarian Confederation, but Franz Joseph did not rest on this and accepted active participation in depriving Russia of any achievements based on the results Russo-Turkish War 1877-1878 Throughout his reign in Subcarpathian Rus' and, especially, in Galicia, persecution of Orthodoxy and local Russians continued. Under him, with the help of the specially created department of “history” of Lvov University and the NGO “Prosvita”, the history and ideology of “Ukrainianism” was composed.
In 1908, by exposing the insufficiently cautious Russian Foreign Minister, he provoked the Bosnian crisis. In 1914 he became one of the instigators of the First World War, during which he carried out the genocide of the Russian population of Galicia and Subcarpathian Rus. It is also famous for the fact that Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, the widow of Nicholas I, on her deathbed, in response to the priest’s call to forgive everyone, stated that “Yes, I forgive everyone except the Emperor of Austria!”
Top 100 Russophobes of the enemy you need to know by sight
For several weeks we surveyed readers and collected the opinions of the most authoritative experts in various fields. The result was a rating of the 100 most fierce Russophobes, both from the fifth column within the country and from among foreign haters. You need to know the enemy by sight!
Top 100 Russophobes
1. Arbatova Maria, feminist. “In general, we, of course, have a low legal culture and a slave psychology... For me, everything connected with the Yeltsin era is absolutely sacred, despite the fact that the snake loses its skin in a very painful and bloody way, and it is clear that everything what was criminal happened not because Yeltsin’s team was bad, but because we lived in the era of revolution.”
2. Mikhail Abyzov – Minister of Open Government. “Society and the state do not have the right to make cannibalistic decisions” - this is how he assessed the initiative to remove abortion from compulsory medical insurance. The minister apparently does not consider abortion itself to be cannibalism.
3. Arsen Avakov – Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, a Russophobe with blood on his hands. “And they will come to Canada: through the Arctic, through the ice, because of the conflict on the shelf. And they will come to Japan because of the conflict over Kuril Islands– they will be everywhere, because we allow” – about Russia’s plans to conquer the whole world.
4. Rustem Adagamov – photographer. “Why do we love you, Russians? Look at your gloomy faces... At your ugly and uninhabitable cities... Over the last thousand years, all you have been able to do is build a very ugly country. Unhappy at all times of its existence... Don’t just talk about literature, music and scientists - it’s all not yours... Your heroes are notorious scoundrels, murderers, scum, scum.”
5. Boris Akunin – writer and one of the organizers of the “Swamp rallies”. “This is an aggressive country, ideologically tyrannical, xenophobic and homophobic. Today's Russia is just such a country. And therefore, if France wants to fraternize with a political regime with similar traits, great, but this means that not everything is fine in France itself either.”
6. Evgenia Albats – journalist. “It’s unfortunate that in the city called Moscow there are so many people like that! Naturally, the classification of the ancient Greeks as “idiots” turned out to be 65.23%, or almost four million people. Even if we imagine that half of this number - again in the classification of the ancient Greeks - are “slaves” who live from the owner and do not have their own opinion, still two million is a lot. Just think: you walk around your favorite city, and every second or third person around you is either an idiot or a slave.”
7. Amnuel Gregory - director, about his ideological opponents: “Those who are sick should not be convinced, but treated. Moreover, in this case, it is desirable for as long as possible and in completely closed medical institutions. There is little chance of a cure, but at least society will be isolated from a harmful and contagious disease.”
8. Henri Levi Bernard - philosopher. “We in Europe are showing ourselves too weak in relation to Putin... The Kremlin is stealing that part of Europe whose heart beats in Ukraine... We need to put pressure on Putin, using his weaknesses.” About Crimea: “Initially it was a Tatar land, which was also under the Ottoman Empire, then under Soviet rule, and then in Ukraine. But this is not Russian land, that’s all.”
9. Akhedzhakova Liya is an actress who previously accused Russia of an attack on a Malaysian Boeing, and this year decided to apologize for “this country” to Nadezhda Savchenko: “Glory to the heroes! Glory to the heroes! I haven't put Ukraine to shame! But, of course, I feel bad for the country. This is a shame. Disgraceful. Dirty politics, vile politics. I could never imagine who Joan of Arc was. It turns out that there are such people in the history of mankind. Nadya, I ask you, do not kill this beautiful creation that God gave us. Live."
10. Arkady Babchenko – journalist. “The Immortal Regiment action terrifies me. Tens of thousands of people walking along the river with photographs of the dead. Well, once again this can be understood. To visually imagine the number of deaths that the war took. But from year to year... I don’t want to look at it. “I have so many photographs of people who are no longer alive, collected in one place, that causes an extremely negative physiological reaction.”
11. Belkovsky Stanislav – political scientist. “Once upon a time, we also wanted to be good. Well, for democracy, not to take bribes, and to cross the street when the light is green. Just like in Europe. But all this turned out to be: a) very difficult; b) very boring. What should we do in such a situation? It's clear. Two things: 1. isolate yourself from the rest of the world so that you have nothing to compare with; 2. convince yourself that the rest of the world will soon collapse, but we will remain. Because we are Holy Rus'. By our own scale of holiness, of course.”
12. Brzezinski Zbigniew - ex-adviser to the US President, who has not lost hope of seizing complete power over Russia: “A constructive US policy should be pursued persistently and taking into account the long term. The United States should strive for results that would contribute to the gradual understanding in Russia (apparently, after Putin) that it can become an influential world power exclusively as part of Europe.”
13. Bilzho Andrey - this year he is waging a fierce fight against the heroes of the Great Patriotic War, not disdaining outright lies and abusing the title of psychiatrist. “The historical truth is this: Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya more than once spent time in the psychiatric hospital named after. P.P. Kashchenko and was experiencing another attack against the backdrop of a severe, powerful shock associated with the war. But this was a clinic, and not a feat of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, who had been suffering from schizophrenia for a long time.”
14. Konstantin Borovoy – entrepreneur and failed politician. “The Mariinsky Theater concert with Gergiev in “liberated” Palmyra is the pinnacle of hypocrisy and meanness. Somehow I’m not surprised that ISIS is there now.” “This is how people have to be brainwashed! Voting on Radio Komsomolskaya Pravda: Yeltsin is an extremist - 95%, Yeltsin is a reformer - 5%. No, these propagandists cannot be forgiven. They must be tried publicly."
15. Dmitry Bykov – poet, presenter of “Echo of Moscow”. Addresses Afghanistan veteran and now journalist Sheinin: “I still haven’t shown a patriotic spirit. And how can I achieve this? The homeland doesn’t give you a chance. After all, a patriot is always a murderer. Otherwise he is not a patriot. But I will say, Comrade Sheinin: My taboo is not forever. It’s not in vain that your whole friendly horde calls me to accomplishments. I'm looking at you. I'm freaking out. A hand reaches for a weapon, And I’m not killing yet. But that’s it, you know, for now.”
16. Vladimir Varfolomeev – deputy editor-in-chief of Ekho Moskvy. “Do I feel sorry for the “clean” athletes who may not be allowed to participate in the Olympics? In general, yes. But which one of them should I sympathize with specifically? Everyone, or just Ivanov and Petrova, who had never come across them before? What if they weren’t caught only because certain state security majors, on orders from the relevant ministry, peed in jars instead of them? Now the existence of this fraudulent scheme seems to be considered proven at the international level.”
17. Ilya Varlamov – blogger, businessman. “You can beat yourself in the chest with the Bulava or Iskander as much as you like, but there are no people. There is no one to fly into space. There is no one to govern the cities. The ghouls sitting in the Duma are competing to see who will pass the law more deliriously. Are people leaving? “Let’s get exit visas! Let's demand that all foreign accounts be closed! And it’s time to cover up dual citizenship too!” With each such initiative, some group of people packs their bags and takes a one-way ticket. Every one-way ticket purchased is a defeat for Russia.”
18. Alexey Venediktov, editor-in-chief of Echo of Moscow, in 2016 called the people of Russia “sick.” “The return of Crimea and possible unification with South Ossetia is a kind of return of the humiliation that Russian citizens experienced as imperialists,” Venediktov is sure.
19. Gaidar Maria - daughter of Yegor Gaidar, Ukrainian official. “Any Russian in Ukraine definitely needs to become a little more Ukrainian, because there are things that are common to all Russians and that can be parted with. This is the kind of sovereign chauvinism that we have, although we don’t even believe it ourselves. And also the idea that Ukrainians and Russians are very similar. This is absolutely not true. Yes, we are really similar in some ways, we speak similar languages, but we are completely different. Once in Ukraine, I was able to see totalitarian parts of my own thinking that I had not noticed before.”
20. Matvey Ganapolsky is a journalist who believes that “ main enemy Russia is Russia itself.” “When the word “scoop” appeared, many were offended. But oddly enough, this capacious word reflected the entire country - both its leadership, and how the people live in this country and the mentality of the Putin majority... A good law can spell out a lot of good things. Of course, if you are not a great-power scoop.”
21. Anton Gerashchenko – Advisor to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, one of the creators of the “Peacemaker” website, which publishes denunciations against “separatists”, according to which anyone they dislike can be kidnapped or killed. This, unlike his Facebook posts, is Russophobia in action. He also posted the data of Russian citizens there: “Their faces will be enough so that the ISIS sheep and their brothers in Russia can find them and take revenge according to the canons of Sharia.”
22. Gerber Alla from Memorial. This year, it was remembered for its attacks on Russophiles, “who swear allegiance to the Motherland,” and the publication of the NKVD archives in order to find the “descendants of the executioners.” Selected quotes: “Anti-Semitism is not in every Russian, but in Russia it is genetic... - The Pale of Settlement was abolished in 1917. Why did anti-Semitism persist? – Genetics and the influence of the Church.”
23. Leonid Gozman – politician. “Pro-Russian candidates won the presidential elections in Moldova and Bulgaria because a monument to Prince Vladimir was erected in Moscow - the prayers of the Orthodox began to reach the Lord faster and more effectively. This is not from the humor section, it was said by a respected expert. In the same place, by Mikhail Delyagin: recognition of the responsibility of the Soviet Union for Katyn is a provocation by Gorbachev that requires investigation! Those. It wasn’t the NKVD who killed, maybe the Poles shot themselves?.. Savagery and meanness accompany and support each other. Where next?
24. Gref German – head of Sberbank, who continues to finance the regime in Kyiv. “The era of hydrocarbons is a thing of the past. How Stone Age ended not because the stones ran out, but the oil age has already ended. We lost the competition, to be honest, and this is technological enslavement, we simply ended up in the camp of countries that are losing, in the camp of downshifter countries.”
25. Grybauskaite Dalia, the President of Lithuania, who called Russia a “terrorist state”, is adding to her collection of Russophobic actions and quotes. “We are on the front line, the first stage of confrontation is taking place, I mean information war, propaganda and cyber attack. So we've already been attacked. Will this develop into a conventional confrontation? Nobody knows. But now we must protect ourselves from this aggressive behavior.”
26. Vasily Gritsak – head of the SBU, responsible for the kidnappings of Russian citizens in Crimea and numerous provocations of saboteurs. “Today there were two explosions in Brussels, and according to preliminary data, there are 12 victims... I wouldn’t be surprised if this is an element of Russia’s hybrid war, although they will point to the Islamic State.”
27. Gudkov Gennady – ex-deputy, businessman. “Lev Shlosberg, who criticizes the authorities for treacherously sending our soldiers to their deaths and then SECRETLY burying them, is an enemy of the state in the eyes of frostbitten “patriots” who are ready to sacrifice half of Russia for the sake of its “imperial greatness.” Therefore, you can poison him and openly threaten to kill him. In a country where lies reign and the principles of legality are replaced by political expediency, there will definitely not be civil peace. But everything else - hostility, civil wars, revolutions - is always welcome.
28. Gudkov Dmitry - son of Gennady Gudkov, ex-deputy. “Don’t talk or even stammer about spirituality, about the “traditions of defending the Fatherland.” Stop fighting with your neighbors, putting innocent people in prison and torturing them there. Stop "nightmare" business, rig elections and spend billions on propaganda. In reality, and not on paper, abolish censorship in the country, prohibit the state from owning media (leave it TASS - let it rejoice). So much for the doctrine, and then the information will be safe. From the state."
29. Arkady Dvorkovich – Deputy Prime Minister, gives advice to Russian citizens: “ General feeling My feeling is that we all need everyone in the country, first of all, to work harder and better and to enjoy it, perhaps due to less time for breakfast.”
30. Denisenko Filaret – Kyiv false patriarch. “You shouldn’t think that the population of Donbass is innocent of this suffering. Guilty! And he must atone for his guilt with suffering and blood. Did you vote for federalization in the referendum? Voted. Have you sinned? We sinned. This is the consequence of this sin.”
31. Boris Johnson - British Foreign Secretary. “The attitude towards Russia in the world is deteriorating... If they continue to do what they are doing, they will lose any sympathy. They drop a bomb and wait for the rescuers to arrive, for civilians to start pulling the wounded out of the rubble, and five minutes later they drop another bomb.”
32. Roman Dobrokhotov – chief editor The Insider: “In Montenegro they tried to set up a “Novorossiya” (and failed). They were preparing the same nuclear mixture of neo-Nazis, bikers, priests and combat veterans. Of course, not without Russian deputies and generals. But I couldn’t.”
33. Erofeev Victor - writer and another supporter of the theory of bad people and good genes. “Back in the 30s, we see quite decent Russian faces in photographs, and then they begin to break down, and a Soviet person appears, truly a special caste of people. But even in pre-revolutionary Russia there lived “slaves” who “did not have their own tradition.”
34. Mikhail Efremov is an actor who puts on a show with the reading of Russophobic poems by the poet Orlusha: “He lived in the country of Russey (nah) The absent-minded President He sat down on the bed in the morning and began to draw a map. Crimea draws with a pencil, They tell him: not ours. On the outskirts of Russia He paints the city of Kyiv, And here we have Melitopol and Donbass. That’s how absent-minded the President of Russia is, nah!”
35. Zimin Dmitry – businessman. “I see with regret that there are elements of savagery in society. Orthodox are fighting with Orthodox. We have fallen out with a significant part of the civilized world, and all this under the brand of some people... The country is gripped by hatred. On the one hand, some kind of hysterical love, and on the other, hatred. This is some kind of abnormal phenomenon, this is a disease. It is dangerous to raise children in such a sick society. Everything is very bad."
36. Andrey Zubov – “professor”: “Hitler is an angel Russian history" “Back in the “Coffee Maker” of our institute, I told my friends how annoying it was that Stalin did not lose the war to Hitler. Because all the same, in the end, the allies would have liberated us, but then the British and Americans would have established democracy in our country and replaced the cannibalistic Stalinist regime.”
37. Kantor Maxim, a writer and artist who fled abroad, called Russia “the flagship of fascism,” and the “Russian world,” in his opinion, “is a world where lackeys serve the bar, and the bar eats lackeys with porridge. And all day long you invent new arguments to reconcile your soul with the shit in which you live and justify complicity. And you won’t get out of this cesspool - only to war, where you kill your neighbors and justify yourself by saying that your neighbors are bad, and you are all responsive.”
38. Carter Ashton is the outgoing head of the Pentagon. “Until now, Russia has shown aggression, mainly in Europe. This was the case in Ukraine and Georgia. We need to remain resolute against possible aggression from Russia in Europe, in Syria.” "Everything the United States does - on its own and with NATO - ensures that we continue to resist Russian aggression and that we are prepared for a long-term competition."
39. Garry Kasparov – chess player and politician. “Rejection of the imperial concept is a fundamental task for Russia. The country must be vaccinated against the imperial virus and finally get rid of the phantom pains of “lost greatness.” After the collapse of the Putin regime, Russia needs a period of “cleansing”, during which people must understand that everything – for supporting Putin, for Georgia, for Crimea and for Donbass – will have to pay.”
40. Kasyanov Mikhail – former prime minister, and now the chairman of the opposition party Parnas. “Citizens are finally beginning to understand that their problems are related to the sanctions that Putin imposed against his own people... The West did not impose any sanctions against Russian citizens, against the Russian Federation.”
41. Evgeniy Kiselyov is a journalist who fled to Ukraine and in recent years has glorified the Kyiv junta there. For his recent dismissal, he blamed the special services and Vladimir Putin personally: “Your humble servant was removed from the Inter TV channel on direct orders from Moscow. And the President of Ukraine Petro Alekseevich Poroshenko told me about this.”
42. Clinton Hillary - ex-Secretary of State and ex-candidate for the presidency of the United States: “Our 17 intelligence agencies, both civilian and military, came to the conclusion that these espionage attacks, these cyber attacks were organized in the highest echelons of the Kremlin, and they were directed to influence the outcome of our elections." “We must respond to evolving threats from states such as Russia, China, Iran and North Korea, and from criminal and terrorist groups such as ISIS.”
43. Alfred Koch – Yeltsin’s Deputy Prime Minister. “The Roldugin medal is costly for the Syrians.” Favorites: “The Russian man is the most vile, most disgusting and most worthless type of man on Earth.” “Russians can’t earn anything... They admire themselves so much, they still admire their ballet and their classical literature XIX century, that they are no longer able to do anything. Raw material appendage."
44. Kucher Stanislav – journalist. “It is impossible to offend the feelings of a believer.” How I waited for this axiom (yes, I am sure that it is an axiom) to be voiced not by philosophizing intellectuals, but by those who dedicated their lives to serving God. In St. Petersburg, priests held single pickets against an article that is shameful for a healthy society. They write: “These are not representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church!” And what? Do only representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church serve God? In general, Arkady Babchenko said the best about these photos: believers insult the feelings of “believers” (quotes are mine).”
45. Larina Ksenia – journalist. In an interview with a Ukrainian publication, she compared Russian patriots with patients in a mental hospital: “Today’s new sincerity, new love, new patriotism are more reminiscent not of Soviet times, but of Germany in the 30s. These people who are now speaking in the media continue the same line in their private lives. They are not held back by fear. They firmly believe in Putin, geopolitical interests, and the fact that everyone wants to conquer Russia. In all seriousness. That's where the mental hospital is!"
46. Yulia Latynina – writer, journalist. “Who is Konstantin Raikin? Who is Tabakov, who is Posner, who spoke out in his defense? This is Russia's elite. This is the artistic elite of Russia. Between them and the guys on motorcycles and wearing rivets, the gulf is not even civilizational, but evolutionary. This is the gap that distinguishes chimpanzees from humans.”
47. Alexey Lebedinsky – musician. “I consider people only those Russian politicians and journalists who, when asked “what to do with Crimea,” answer unequivocally and without hesitation: “Immediately return it to Ukraine and apologize.”
48. Lobkov Pavel – journalist. About Easter in Moscow: “If a Russian person wants to make something beautiful, he creates a funeral wreath. Our favorite combination: living and dead. Here are dead geraniums and living ivy. And how beautiful it looks, yes. And the main thing is that only Pushkin seems alive in this situation, because everything around him smacks of some kind of monstrous carrion, even though it is called “Moscow spring.”
49. Sergei Lukashevsky - director of the Sakharov Center, where an exhibition dedicated to the Ukrainian punitive forces was held, about the destruction of the exhibition: “With the connivance of the authorities, the radicals are terrorizing everyone who does not live in their value system, in their paranoid, conspiracy world. This is a terrible symptom of the decay of society and the state.”
50. Andrey Makarevich – leader of the “Time Machine” group. His main Russophobic statements came in 2014, but even now he periodically reminds himself. About Natalya Poklonskaya: “Things are really bad for her... Are there not enough people in the world who haven’t completed their studies? What should I do now? I am surrounded by people who have completed their studies. I exist with them in my circle. I'm quite happy with that."
51. Michael McFaul is a former US Ambassador to Russia. “Putin has a vendetta against Hillary Clinton, and this has long been known. He wants to discredit American democracy and weaken us as the leader of the liberal democratic order. And, of course, he likes the views of the future President Trump in relation to Russia.”
52. Malgin Andrey – journalist. About the death of Russian nurses: “And let’s not forget that the deceased, Sergeant Major Nadezhda Durachenko and Junior Sergeant Galina Mikhailova, were military personnel. This is not their first business trip to Syria. It used to carry through. I sincerely feel sorry for their orphaned children, but, in principle, a soldier going to war must understand that he can be killed there. In any case, the probability of this is much higher than that of a pilot dropping bombs from a height onto residential areas.”
53. Maltsev Vyacheslav. The new “star” caused a split in the PARNAS party, because Maltsev is famous for his xenophobic statements and outright conspiracy theories. But he also has own idea: “I kept trying to explain that the liberal needs to come to an agreement with the nationalists so that Putin’s power does not last forever.”
54. Maciejczuk Tomasz – Polish journalist. “Russia is only able to attack defenseless opponents who have nothing to respond to. We saw what happens when the enemy has something to respond to in the case of Turkey, which shot down a Russian plane. Many were afraid that Putin would punish Ankara; Russian patriots even dreamed of taking Istanbul and returning its name to Constantinople. But everything was limited to the destruction of a batch of Turkish tomatoes. What a pathetic sight..."
55. Antony Macierewicz - Minister of Defense of Poland, author of vivid statements about Russia as an aggressor, threatening the security of Europe and the whole world. “Russia could create, and therefore supports, radical Islamic terrorism. The answer to this question is fundamental for our civilization. I encourage everyone to think about this."
56. Merkel Angela – Chancellor of Germany. At the Brussels summit: “Russia, Iran and the Assad regime are responsible for targeted attacks on civilians and hospitals. These are crimes that must be punished. Those responsible must be brought to justice with no option to avoid it.”
57. Mitrokhin Boris, devoted a year to the fight against the construction of churches in Moscow. “The law to protect the rights of believers is an inquisition.” “If a beautiful place is discovered somewhere, then except the priests, no one has rights to it. God created beauty not to give it away for admiration. ordinary people, but for the needs of his priests. As many as they want, let them eat it. And they are entitled to as much land as they can grab. Truly a new direction in theology. Gundyaevskoe."
58. Mogherini Federica, the chief diplomat of the European Union, argued that Russia is not providing humanitarian assistance to Syria: “We will never recognize Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea and will not accept the destabilization of Eastern Ukraine. We will strengthen the EU, build the resilience of our eastern neighbors and support their right to freely determine their approach to the EU.” “We (the European Union) are the only ones, not one of, but the only ones, who supply Syria and neighboring territories with humanitarian aid.”
59. Nevzorov Alexander – journalist. “For patriots, urine and feces are the arguments to which they resort most readily,” - this is how he assessed the action against the pedophile photo exhibition. Russia, in his opinion, is “dropping bombs on humanitarian convoys” and “sponsoring Donbass criminals.”
60. Nishchuk Evgeniy – Minister of Culture of Ukraine. “The situation in the East and South is an abyss of consciousness. Moreover, when we talked about genetics in Zaporozhye and Donbass, these were imported cities. There are no genetics there, these are deliberately introduced cities. Cherkasy is a glorious Hetman and Shevchenko region. The city of Cherkasy itself is half-imported. Why? Because they were afraid of Shevchenko’s spirit. It was the technology of the Soviet Union."
61. Okara Andrey – Ukrainian political scientist. “The Russian world put on the mask of the Horde. Or vice versa: was it the Horde, until a certain moment, who put on the masks and decorations of the Russian world? Or is the Russian world a slightly outwardly Slavicized Horde?”
62. Hollande Francois - President of France. “I ask myself: will the meeting be useful? Is it necessary? Can pressure be applied? Can we get him (Putin – approx. edit.) stopped doing what he is doing together with the Syrian regime?.. That is, providing support to the air force of the regime, which is dropping bombs on the inhabitants of Aleppo? So I ask myself the question: should I accept Vladimir Putin? And if I meet him, I will tell him that this is unacceptable and seriously affects the image of Russia.”
63. Gleb Pavlovsky – political scientist, TV presenter. “A dense, ignorant layer of the population is trying to authoritatively teach the country how to live. And they should go to the bathhouse first... A deeply rural style of life is being imposed on a gigantic country. Here is the Tsar-Father, and crowds of some supposedly church old women with mustaches sticking out from under their kerchiefs... And they all demand something, extort, call. Where is the great power here? It no longer looks like Russia has risen from its knees.”
64. Parkhomenko Sergey – journalist. “On what did Putin’s Russia break, how is it now clear, on what did it go downhill? It's funny - she rolled on these jars of urine through a hole... She rolled on this insane tension of all her strength with the idea of winning the Olympics... As we now understand, they won it with the help of urine through a hole... And then it broke . Then hysteria began, which was expressed in the annexation of Crimea, in attempts to unleash civil war with half of Ukraine... And off we go, off we go, and as a result, we have now come to a situation where the head of Russia is spoken of as a war criminal.”
65. Samantha Power – US Representative to the UN. “What you did in Aleppo will rank alongside events in world history that define the modern understanding of evil and will remain a stain on the conscience of the international community. This is the same crime as the gas attack on the Iraqi Kurds in 1988, the genocide in Rwanda in 1994 and the massacre in Srebrenica in 1993... Your barrel bombs, shells and airstrikes allowed armed forces in Aleppo to surround thousands of civilians and force them to a noose around their neck. Do you even know the feeling of shame?"
66. Andrey Piontkovsky – publicist: “The Syrian adventure ends before our eyes with the tragedy of Aleppo. Putin and the whole country are branded war criminals... This is a zombie regime. This is life after death because he is economically disabled. Kleptocracy cannot ensure technological growth, economic development, or living standards. He suffered a foreign policy defeat. And in the coming months, a year... 2017 is a very symbolic year, by the way. We will watch how events develop.”
67. Podrabinek Alexander - dissident: “Misunderstanding and condemnation - this is how we can briefly characterize the reaction in Russian society and social networks to the news of the murder of Russian Ambassador to Turkey Andrei Karlov. Most commentators agree that this was a terrorist act and there is no justification for it... The Russian average person is pleasantly misled about Russia's peacekeeping mission, the humanity of its army, the impractical generosity of its foreign policy... A similar situation occurred in Nazi Germany, when millions of Germans were We are sure that Adolf Hitler is deservedly called “Chancellor of Peace”... They knew nothing about the death camps and no wonder: German newspapers did not write about it, they did not talk about it on the radio. Then, after a military defeat, they tried to justify themselves by this ignorance, and in response to this occupation authorities arranged forced excursions for them to death camps... The Russian average person has yet to see the light and look at themselves and Russia from the outside, through the eyes of those who experienced the real consequences of the Kremlin expansion, who saw real life, and not a false television picture from the Ostankino Tower.”
68. Bozena Rynska – blogger. “Or there are the Slavic peoples - a layer of animals, thick, fucking mother. How the Balts managed to preserve this anti-casualism during the Soviet years and remain a nation of educated people, I don’t know.”
69. Petro Poroshenko is the “president” of Ukraine, continuing the war against his own citizens in the Donbass. " Soviet Union continues to live and it needs to end. Don't believe it. The USSR is not in the document and not in Belovezhskaya Pushcha. The Soviet Union is in our heads. And in this sense, the USSR is still not buried, and Ukraine is now fighting to finally knock the idea of resurrecting the USSR off the “sick” heads. “For us, this is the unification of Europe.”
70. Prosvirnin Egor – journalist. “We believe that the possible collapse of the Russian Federation... is not a danger, but a BONUS, a chance for the renewed Russian nation to build a state that suits it, no longer shackled by the bonds of an ugly post-Soviet formation.”
71. Raikin Konstantin – director. “I don’t trust these groups of indignant and offended people whose, you see, religious feelings are offended. I don't believe it! I believe that they have been paid for. So these are groups of vile people who fight for morality in illegal vile ways, you see.”
72. Ryklin Alexander - journalist: “Two years ago, their “Russian world” killed many innocent people in the skies over Ukraine... Children, women, men... All - civilians... Damn him, this one " Russian world”... Because this is not a world at all. This is war. This is the “Russian war”. A dirty, stupid, vulgar, criminal, merciless war against everything living and bright... And here in Russia we have to fight not for fair elections, not to raise the economy from ruins... We need to stop the “Russian war”... At any cost ..."
73. Svanidze Nikolai – historian. “Specifically, these 28 that knocked out 18 German tanks were not there. Why continue to stupidly say what it was? Did we have so few real exploits during the war that we cling to imaginary ones? Let them exist, for God’s sake, say that this is a myth, a holy myth, but so what? We still believe that Yegorov and Kantaria raised the red banner over the Reichstag. They didn't raise it. They talked about the feat of the Young Guards. The feat of the Young Guard looked different."
74. Kirill Serebrennikov – director. “Don’t we live in a country of unabolished slavery? Are we free? Serfdom and the Gulag archipelago dissolved in Russia, they are inside, they were not vomited, not thrown out, not poisoned - and they gradually infected everyone with themselves... Russia today is an incredibly dark country, ignorant, and it is becoming even darker, more obscurantist, this is completely looks like a disaster."
75. Ksenia Sobchak is the daughter of the mayor of St. Petersburg Anatoly Sobchak and senator Lyudmila Narusova, of unknown occupation. He sees the situation in Russia this way: “The regime that established itself in Russia in the early 2000s is scientifically called “elite autocracy.” In this construction, the authoritarian state, together with the elites - economic, intellectual, creative - opposed the dense and wild people our country."
76. George Soros – speculator and puppeteer of “color revolutions”. “The Putin regime faces bankruptcy in 2017, when a significant portion of its foreign loans come due for repayment. Because of Western sanctions coupled with plummeting oil prices, Russian authorities are unable to keep any of these promises. The Russian budget deficit is 7% of GDP, and the government will have to reduce it to 3% to prevent inflation from getting out of control.”
77. Sotnik Alexander is a journalist for whom Russophobia has also become a diagnosis. He considers Russia to be hell, the people to be cattle, and the authorities to be “terrorists who have seized the Kremlin.” “I propose to the Turkish authorities to transfer the pilot (if he survived) to territory controlled by opponents of the Assad regime. The trial will be swift."
78. Suvorov (Rezun) Victor – traitor, defector, pseudo-historian. “After the collapse of Putin’s power, Russia will collapse. Far East the Chinese will take over... The Chinese are already populating it. If the Chinese capture Siberia, and they will capture it, then all the natural resources are located there. And besides natural resources there is nothing in Russia.”
79. Suvorov Dmitry – journalist. “Our people are Ukrainians, not Novorussians. Novorossians are genetic garbage. For me, a person who takes up arms against his country is genetic garbage. Vlasovites, Novorossians and so on. I am ready to apologize to all residents of Donbass if they took this remark at them. Of course I didn't mean them. I repeat once again - I meant the people who took up arms against my country. And I do not refuse these words. I will call atheists and murderers as I see fit.”
80. Troitsky Artemy – liberal publicist. Over the past year, one phrase of his is enough to characterize him as a nonentity: “They grabbed Motorola with a death grip - as if they were some kind of hint of a modern Russian hero. Naturally, he makes a hero, like a bullet from a f***.”
81. Alexander Turchinov - the first leader of the Kyiv junta. “For me, the “Russian world” is Russian tanks, Russian multiple launch rocket systems, thousands of killed Ukrainians. And anyone who is “for” such a “Russian world” is subject, excuse me, to long-term imprisonment or destruction.” “History should teach us. Teach that an aggressor cannot be appeased. Having created a conflict in Transnistria and Chechnya, he will go further - to Abkhazia, and from there to Georgia, then to Ukraine. And it depends on the civilized world whether to wait for the aggressor’s next step or to neutralize it.”
82. Oleg Kashin – journalist. “Several years ago, when Nikita Belykh became governor Kirov region, I talked to one of his comrades in Vyatka and asked him casually: “What do you think is worth waiting for in politics, in our social life?” To which he said: “You know, all hope is for a big war in the Caucasus. Because the country will not survive another war and will disintegrate, and in some of its parts that have fallen off, there will probably be good life. But here, in Vyatka, there will always be an ass, because, apparently, Vyatka has such a fate.” Then I laughed at his words, now I think that I have no other forecast about the future of our country.”
83. Ulitskaya Lyudmila - writer. “I have said this more than once, we were very lucky, because Albert Schweitzer had to buy a ticket, leave Bach and go to treat dirty, wild, sick savages. We don’t need to go anywhere - just leave the entrance and here we are already in Africa... Remember the wonderful conversation between Abraham and the Angel: how many righteous people must there be for the city to stand? There was a long trade, but in the end the righteous were not found in the required quantity, Sodom and Gomorrah were burned by heavenly fire. Donetsk and Lugansk are burning, and what idea was thrown out by people hungry for power is not so important.”
84. Ulyukaev Alexey - ex-minister-poet. It was under him that Russia plunged into an economic crisis instead of development. “The later we start raising the retirement age, the more radically we will have to do it.” “Our trade and economic relations are going through hard times, but history is like that: there are never good times, times are always difficult.”
85. Uspensky Eduard – children's writer, who back in 2014 said that 90% of Russia is idiots, now believes that Kyiv does not bomb its own country and criticizes Russian news “which show how mercilessly Ukrainian soldiers destroy Donetsk, where angels with big wings live, good people who only dream of raising bread and children.”
86. Teacher Alexey for the film “Matilda”, which not only discredits the memory of the last Russian emperor, but also slanderes the Russian aristocracy. “These are two minutes of individual footage in which there is nothing that could confuse believers or church ministers... There is a certain fantasy present - it is acceptable in any work of art. It amazes me that this is non-state censorship.”
87. Fomenko Nikolay – actor. “It’s very difficult for Russians; world civilization has fallen on them literally over the last ten years. The Germans and Mercedes have been together for 110 years, do you understand? And they all grew up with it, it’s inside the genotype. And then imagine, ten years have fallen upon a person: he can buy a car, he can go, he can get a license, he can go abroad... He doesn’t know any of this, so he’s quietly going crazy... There are more crazy people. And these crazy people, unfortunately, sometimes exist in those places that are trying to manage culture.”
88. Anna Fotyga is a member of the European Parliament, the initiator of a resolution equating the Russian media with the propaganda of banned Islamic organizations like ISIS. “I have dedicated my life to fighting Soviet propaganda" About Russia in Syria, comparing with Grozny: “I still have before my eyes the sight of complete destruction and atrocities committed in the name of geopolitical influence with complete impunity for the criminals.”
89. Fallon Michael - British Secretary of Defense. “I am ready to work with the new US Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, resist Russian aggression against NATO, reduce tensions in relations with Moscow, and continue, as I said earlier, cooperation with Russia to resolve the situation in Syria. But this does not mean that we should treat Russia as equals. Russia is a strategic rival of the West, and we must be aware of this.”
90. Mikhail Khodorkovsky is a businessman. “If we take away the elderly, children, people too preoccupied with their own problems, then of the remaining ones we need approximately 40 million people. Among them there are those who are ready to go out and stand until the end, and those who are ready only to take individual steps. So, if we want to unite 40 million people, we should not talk about particulars now. During the transition period, it is necessary to resolve only those issues that cannot be resolved, without which holding fair elections is impossible. Everything else can be put aside. For example, the question about Crimea, which I am constantly asked, can be postponed until the elections.”
91. Khomak David – Internet activist. “We were trained to be astronauts. I was an October child, I was a pioneer (not for long, though). By inertia, we were trained to be astronauts. Instead, we had to master the Internet. It turned out well too. We came and mastered it. And those who came after us mastered more and better. And now Russia doesn’t want space, science, the Internet, or to be part of Europe and the world. But he wants to pray, fast and listen to Radio Radonezh. And plant, plant, plant.”
92. Anatoly Chubais - head of Rusnano. “We have a lot of money. There are just so many of them. And that’s why we have the opportunity not only to “handle” a lot of money, but also to invest it in our long-term strategy! Which, as you know, was not only accepted, but also completely solved all the problems, including the problem of the potential financial failure of 2017. He's gone. We're fine. We will not fail in 2017."
93. Chubais Igor – brother of Anatoly Chubais, historian. “We now know for sure that the blockade (of Leningrad. - editor's note.) in the traditional sense it did not exist. There was no ring around the city, not only aircraft entered the city, but also 60 kilometers of the Ladoga coast were under control Soviet army. A wide strip of several tens of kilometers remained, which connected Leningrad with Ladoga, and further along Ladoga there was a path to mainland. There was no blockade... Some memoirs show that in fact there were large food reserves in the city, but this still needs to be sorted out.”
94. Shenderovich Viktor – writer-humorist, TV presenter. “The country is already deteriorating before our eyes. It just might turn into this piece of oil and gas real estate somewhere on the edge of the globe.” “People who have been watching federal channels for 15 years and haven’t vomited yet, they no longer understand anything. You can feed them anything."
95. Shekhtman Pavel – publicist. “Is it good or bad that the Russian ambassador was wounded in Turkey? It’s good that you’re wounded and not intact. It’s bad that he’s wounded and not killed. Dialectics! One cannot rejoice at the death of a person. But if you really want to rejoice at the death of the Russian ambassador, then you can."
96. Shuvalov Igor - Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, involved in a high-profile series of scandals - with apartments in a high-rise on Kotelnicheskaya, with the transportation of dogs by plane to exhibitions under the guise of government business trips, and surprise that citizens have too small apartments: “Today we were shown apartments in 20 square meters, it seems funny, but people buy such housing..."
97. Schulz Martin – President of the European Parliament. “Russia and the Assad regime must cease all attacks against civilian targets and civilian and medical structures, they must take credible and immediate action to end hostilities and allow unimpeded humanitarian access to populations in need.
