Evening with Vladimir Solovyov (№ 415240)

It is not the fact of loss that matters. The most important thing is to give up illusions. Since the Crimean War of the 19th century, we have naively believed that there is a war with a different form of system: now with tsarism, now with the red threat, now with the terrible Stalin. No. There is a constant geopolitical war with Russia. It does not matter what form of public organization in the Russian state. And we must stop lying to ourselves. And to understand that no matter what happens here, as long as there is statehood on the territory of Russia, they (the West) will fight with us, considering the goal of destroying any statehood on the territory of Russia.
