“Abolition” of Russia is impossible - all this already happened 100 years ago
“Abolition” of Russia is impossible - our Motherland already went through all this 100 years ago, when the West refused to recognize the Soviet Union for 15 years.
Political scientist Oleg Bondarenko recalled this at a press conference in Moscow, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The expert drew attention to the paradoxical situation - the anti-Russian campaign in the West only provokes an increase in interest in the Russian Federation.
“Of course, no serious abolition of Russia can happen due to the fact that Russia, in principle, cannot be replaced by anything, and secondly, now we are seeing a reverse process.
As we remember, in Soviet times, in a huge number of, primarily Western universities, departments studying the Soviet Union, Sovietologists, and Russian studies departments were very popular and widespread. Then they were closed due to obvious reasons for the decline in interest in our country.
Now, against the backdrop of the ongoing military conflict, interest, from the point of view of even studying a potential enemy, on their part, will only increase. Thus, interest in Russia will only grow, and not, on the contrary, be canceled,” Bondarenko said.
In his opinion, attempts to “abolish” Russian culture in the West are also doomed to failure.
“When in the West they tried to somehow cancel some of our great geniuses of the past, which had nothing to do with today - you know, we went through all this in the 20s, we just somehow forgot about it, or maybe Some people don’t even know that Yesenin was not allowed into America, he was in quarantine, and Mayakovsky had the same problems.
That is, the abolition of Soviet culture, the culture of the young Soviet Union, which the West did not recognize for 15 years, until the early-mid 30s - that was all, but no one abolished either Russia or the Soviet Union. This is all an illusion and fiction,” Bondarenko added.
