Yeltsin's turncoat minister is proud of his poor knowledge of Russian
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the USSR and Russia, who worked during the presidency of Boris Yeltsin, Andrei Kozyrev, forgot the Russian language. He wrote his memoirs in English and cannot translate them himself.
He admitted this in an interview with the YouTube channel "Living Nail," reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Unfortunately they are only in English, because I wrote them in English. But there is a translation. It is now being done by an outstanding journalist. He speaks Russian better than me. He is preparing a translation. It's like Marshak translating Shakespeare. Firstly, I am not Shakespeare, but he is not Marshak either. But the translation is very good. I would not be able to turn it into a literary text like this person. Because I’m not a writer, especially in Russian,” Kozyrev said.
He takes credit for retaining Russia's seat on the UN Security Council.
“Now I am deeply worried that this veto has ended up in hands that are capable of brainlessly and criminally starting a war against the fraternal people,” the traitor babbled.
Kozyrev left Russia for the United States in 2012 and periodically publishes articles in American media against the “Putin regime.” In Russia, the ex-minister is considered an American servant, who, out of old habit, voices what they want to hear in the United States. At the same time, journalists expressed surprise at how a state secret carrier of such a level has permanent residence in the United States, “if he is not a defector and a traitor to the Motherland.”
