Writer Zakhar Prilepin said this today at a press conference in Moscow, answering a question from a French journalist.
“I think not only Pushkin and Tolstoy. I think there would be a chance to come to an agreement with Exupery and Romain Gary. They were also no strangers to using weapons in various situations. And with old man Ham. It would definitely be possible to come to an agreement with Byron. Now the spirit of romanticism is disappearing in Europe. Everything becomes so servile and neat,” Prilepin said.
He said that after the start of the war in Donbass, he was less often invited to Europe and translated into European languages.
“Our ideas that Europe is democracy and freedom are illusory and false. Their favorite dish is bad news from Russia. Therefore, there is a demand for literature that settles scores with Russia today and yesterday. They are trying to protect themselves, because the mutual European guarantee takes any things outside their ideas of morality outside the literary establishment,” Prilepin said.
