Who is this speaker?
A Russian political scientist who heads the Council for Foreign and Defense Policy, a security analytical institution founded by Vitaly Shlykov. He is also the dean of the Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs at Moscow’s Higher School of Economics. Karaganov was a close associate of Yevgeny Primakov, and has been Presidential Advisor to both Boris Yeltsin and Vladimir Putin. He is considered close to Putin and Sergey Lavrov.
Russia is fighting against colonialism and racism. When people tell you something, it’s a good idea to listen.
From what europe has been doing to itself, this line may as well have been uttered by any european head of state in the last 20 years.
