Orwell did not write about the USSR. He wrote about the society in which he lived, about the collapse of the idea of liberalism. And they imposed on you that he wrote about you,” Zakharova said. — Western liberal totalitarian system will kill civilization.
Maria Zakharova was asked if ideology is important to Russia. One of the arguments in her speech was the famous story of the temple, which was never built on the site of the square in Yekaterinburg.
– When we arrived, I asked: “Tell me, please, that story around the temple. Where was it supposed to be? They said it was on the waterfront. Yesterday I went to this embankment and only then remembered this story. That is, I didn’t go looking for anything, I just went out to walk along the embankment at nine in the evening. There is a fountain and two ponds. Where the temple should have been. One of the ponds – a drake sits in the center. And in all corners there are such mountains of empty bottles of alcohol. Do you understand?
In what law should it be written that in such and such a city, the largest, historical, filled with everything: temples, museums, fantastic people – there is a pond in which you just need to pull it out, throw it away and clean it up? .. And there are probably hundreds alcohol bottles.
