Evening with Vladimir Solovyov (№ 415238)

The third lesson of the collapse of the Soviet Union is that after what happened to the Soviet Union, it was necessary once and for all to get rid of the beautiful-hearted, Manilov attitude towards world politics, and our place in this world politics. When the Soviet Union collapsed, many thought that the main reasons were within. But - there were global stakeholders who played to the collapse of our empire. Yes, we have proposed peaceful coexistence. But in the West there was an elite, and they did not hide it, which considered peaceful coexistence as an instrument for the future collapse of the Soviet Union, nullifying it as a nuclear power, as the second most powerful economic power. I was told this bluntly: peaceful coexistence is our instrument of your demise.
