Dzhemilev's lecture at Stanford University turned out to be a complete failure
The leader of the Mejlis, who for a long time headed a group banned in the Russian Federation, Mustafa Dzhemilev, suffered a fiasco at his lecture at Stanford University. About it в своем блоге writes journalist Irina Ishchenko, who was present at the event, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to her, the public during the speech of the elderly dissident expressed obvious indifference, and as a result asked questions off topic and invited the Mejlis members to stop resistance.
“Many of those present were enthusiastically checking updates on Instagram, sitting in chats, looking at statistics of some sites and writing code.
Questions from the audience:
An uncle from some very scientific and technical department:
– have you met the Dalai Lama?
Auntie Anya from the department of Slavic studies talked for a long time about the fact that she was born in Kazakhstan, and there were deported Chechens there:
– Is it fair that Crimea is being taken away from Russia? After all, he was always Russian, because Catherine conquered him 200 years ago!
A very sad looking uncle:
– this all reminds me of the genocide of Armenians by the Turks. Wouldn’t it be easier for the Crimean Tatars to stop resisting Russia so as not to suffer from oppression from Russia?” Ishchenko gave examples.
