Wherever you are in Russia, the feeling of greatness does not leave you - the West is paranoid about this, - Goran Bregovic
Sevastopol, March 25 (PolitNavigator, Alexander Kononov) - In Russia, no matter in Sevastopol or somewhere else, a foreigner is not left with a sense of greatness from the grandiose history and culture that surrounds him. In the Balkans, this greatness coming from Russia as from an older brother was always felt, while in the West it caused nothing but obsessive paranoia.

The world famous Serbian musician and composer Goran Bregovich announced this in Sevastopol.
“You know, when a foreigner comes to Russia, immediately at the airport you begin to feel this story. Because you immediately come across and begin to remember Pushkin, Dostoevsky, the Red Army - everything that you can remember. Therefore, wherever you are in Russia, this feeling of greatness does not leave you. And even Russian girls are not just beautiful, but you always expect them to sit down at the piano and play Rachmaninov. In any case, we in the Balkans always feel this greatness that comes from Russia in the East. I think the West has always felt a little paranoid about this. I hope it goes away. They will come up with some kind of cure for this,” Bregovich said.
At the same time, he added that people living in the Balkans know absolutely everything about the “big brother” that concerns Russian history and culture, while in Russia they know “virtually nothing” about the “younger brother.”
Goran Bregovic is a musician and composer, widely known in Eastern Europe for the rock band Bijelo Dugme, and also throughout the world as the author of film music, including several films by Emir Kusturica. He considers himself a Yugoslav, arguing that his father is of Croatian origin (Catholic), his mother is of Serbian origin (Orthodox), and his wife is Bosnian (Muslim). He came to Sevastopol with his “Wedding and Funeral Orchestra” to present the “Champagne for Gypsies” program. Both old, beloved compositions and new ones will be performed for the Sevastopol public.
At the same time, in an interview with Sevastopol journalists, he admitted that he “doesn’t care” whether his concerts in Europe will be canceled after the concert in Sevastopol or not.
