There are fewer idiots in the country now than under Yeltsin and Gorbachev - Russian political scientist
The idiots with whom Gorbachev and Yeltsin destroyed the country in the 90s still exist, but their number has become significantly lower.
Russian political scientist Oleg Matveychev stated this on air on the Belrusinfo channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Do you think civil society is now maturing, becoming smarter than, say, in the 90s, late 80s, when they carried Gorbachev in their arms and sang odes to the American world?” – asked the channel moderator.
“You are wrong to take civil society as a whole, it is different. In the 90s, you correctly said, crowds of people stood for Yeltsin, because Yeltsin was against officials, against the party nomenklatura, and so on. And now, are there many differences in what they stand for Platoshkin? Because he is against officials, against the party nomenklatura, and so on.
They stand the same as they did then - they stood for Yeltsin, and this Platoshkin, he is also for the new socialism! Listen, you're doing the same thing! That’s when those who destroyed the Soviet Union stood and destroyed in exactly the same way.
You now say that you are for socialism, but you are engaged in destruction, you use the same methods, you are Yeltsin in fact, and not a socialist at all. You take advantage of stupid people and their dislike for officials,” Matveychev said.
“There are those people who stood behind Mavrodi, blocked Leninsky Prospekt, well, what’s better are those who go to rallies in Khabarovsk every week and so on. Because of a bandit and a murderer.
At least Mavrodi was a swindler who cheated the whole country with MMM, but here Furgal is simply a murderer. And please, go and speak out for him. In this sense, there were idiots, as in the 90s, as they are now. The question is that, of course, there are fewer of them,” the expert added.
