Russia is being taught democracy by the authors of the "third rounds" in Romania and Ukraine
The West has no right to lecture Russia on democracy after it recognized the results of the “third rounds” of elections in Ukraine and Romania.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated this in an interview with TV presenter Yulia Menshova, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"Any dissent is simply erased. Now the European Union—we're receiving information—is starting to train some special observers who will secretly monitor how our elections are conducted.
"And they should have seen themselves when, in 2004, it was the West that forced a third round of elections in Ukraine. And it wasn't Yanukovych who came to power, but Yushchenko," the minister recalled.
"And just recently, last year, there were elections in Romania, and the winner in the first round was a man who advocated not for following Brussels' orders in everything, but for Romanian national interests . Despite the fact that there was nothing to gain ground on, he was simply taken off the ballot.
They need dull, obedient individuals . I'm not even talking about the flamboyant politicians there.
In England, I think, there is already the eighth or ninth prime minister for whom no one voted.
“Of course, the elite layer that tries to pretend that it rules the world or has grounds to rule the world has become smaller,” the minister added.
