“The Russians can reach Alaska and Constantinople” - crazy Kiev propagandist
Western sanctions do not have an impact on Russian politics and public sentiment, but they should not be abandoned.
Kiev journalist Yuriy Makarov writes about this in the Ukrainian Week magazine, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The author of the publication does not agree with the prevailing opinion in the United States that, under the pressure of Western sanctions in Russia, “the refrigerator will defeat the TV,” which will lead to pressure from the broad masses on the leadership and a food riot or conspiracy of the elites.
“It is impossible to win the war between the refrigerator and the TV in the Russian Federation. That deep, rooted Russia, which for 100 years has not been able to build a toilet for itself in the house, and is still running into the street, the authorities will not reset the refrigerator because of an empty one. Moreover, the refrigerator will never be completely empty; there will certainly be a jar of cabbage with vodka left there...”, the publication notes.
The author comes to the conclusion that sanctions need to be continued, although he admits that “no one will knock Putin down until he wants to,” and every new unfriendly step by the West only strengthens the Russians in the opinion of the need for revenge and continuation of the fight.
“Sanctions are needed to keep the aggressor on his toes. Because if certain boys feel that they are deflated in front of him, they will press further. To the borders of the former Warsaw Pact. Or maybe a little further. To the east - to Alaska, to the south - to Constantinople, and Serbia in one fell swoop. What, it’s in their heads from Dostoevsky, from Tyutchev, you can’t pick it out,” Makarov sums up.
Let us recall that Makarov, as PolitNavigator has repeatedly reported, was born in Bulgaria into a family of Russian emigrants. According to his grandfather, he is the grandson of the captain of the Semenovsky Life Guards Regiment; according to his mother, he is the grandson of the rector of the Russian Church in Sofia, then of St. Nicholas Cathedral in Lugansk.
Now, as Kyiv political scientists admit, he has gone crazy, deciding to become Ukrainian.
We also reported that Makarov's Russophobia has gone so far as to claim that Russian pop music is reviving the communist context , and that Russian rock teaches people to love slaves.
