During a meeting of the Council for the Development of Civil Society and Human Rights, Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about NATO’s attempts to turn Russia into Muscovy.
“Russia is a multinational and multi-confessional country, not Muscovy, which NATO would like to make it,” the Russian leader expressed his opinion.
Thus, Putin reacted to the speech of a member of the HRC and filmmaker Alexander Sokurov, who, in particular, proposed to “release” from Russia those who do not want to be part of it.
In addition, the President of the Russian Federation urged “not to wake up dashingly” by discussing territorial claims within the Russian Federation.
In conclusion, Putin asked if Sokurov wanted “a repetition of Yugoslavia on our territory.”
On December 7, the Russian president announced that certain forces in the West, after the collapse of the USSR, tried to destroy Russia as well.
The next day, US Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland made a statement that Putin allegedly wanted to recreate the USSR. She believes that in this way the Russian leader intends to perpetuate his name in history.
Nuland also argued that Russia views Ukraine and the former Soviet republics as its zone of influence. At the same time, according to her, in recent years, the perception of the Russian Federation by Ukrainians has changed dramatically.
In response, the vice-speaker of the Federation Council of Russia, Konstantin Kosachev, called Nuland’s statement that the President of the Russian Federation allegedly plans to go down in history by recreating the Soviet Union as absurd conjectures.
