Nobel laureate asks to help financially “victims of perestroika”
Nobel laureate and Russophobe, Belarusian writer Svetlana Alexievich, spoke out in favor of introducing benefits in Russia for “victims of perestroika” and citizens who survived the 1990s.
She stated this in an interview with URA.RU, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I know a lot about the 90s, I have a book on this topic “Second-Hand Time”, those years and all their hardships are well described there. Therefore, I think that, of course, it would be good if the state somehow helped the people who survived that difficult time,” Alexievich said.
Alexievich is known for her support for Ukraine in the conflict with Russia and her condemnation of the “aggressive world of Beria, Stalin, Putin and Shoigu.” She recently became vice-president of PEN International. The Belarusian writer was also included in the list of 50 scientists, philosophers and writers “who changed our lives” by the British magazine Prospectmagazine.co.uk.
“One cannot deny the courage and artistry of the writer, who counts Vladimir Putin among her opponents,” says the caption under the portrait of Alexievich.
Boris Chernyshov, deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Education and Science, deputy from the LDPR, proposed to single out the category of “victims of perestroika” and provide benefits to the corresponding people.
