Sunday evening with Vladimir Solovyov (№ 398898)

I will say a few words about June 22, because it seems to me to ignore this day. One of the lessons from June 22, is that first, the powder should be kept dry always. Regardless of who and what thinks about it and says. We must be prepared for the worst options. Always. We must hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. This is the first. And second. One of the sad lessons of the Second world war, the great Patriotic war, that we should not overestimate the significance of any of any international agreements. And no international organizations.
- To not trust anyone. [remark of Vladimir Solovyov]
- Unfortunately, I can not trust anyone. We were quite active in the diplomacy, referring to the Soviet Union. Sometimes she was successful, sometimes less successful, sometimes not successful at all. The Soviet Union did try to negotiate in different directions, and build a security system. Not only for themselves but also for the whole of Europe. There were hopes for the League of Nations, there were hopes for agreement with the Western democracies, there were hopes that you can somehow restrain Nazi Germany. But the conclusion that's what. Happened the most terrible war in human history. For our country this war was incredibly destructive. As coronavirus is also, among other things. We must hope for themselves. It is necessary as much as possible, to ensure themselves that you can do for yourself. All this talk about international security configurations, about trust, about the systems of international law, international organizations... it's All good. Optional. Put it in the spotlight, make it the basis, the Foundation of policy, count on it, to think that in an emergency, we will cover the UN, or in the case which we met with so-and-so President, and he told me that would not expand NATO to the East - it's all nonsense.
