On February 27, 2004, Rossiyskaya Gazeta published the program of Oleg Malyshkin, a candidate for the post of President of the Russian Federation from the Liberal Democratic Party. Interspersed with statements that the Liberal Democratic Party is against inciting ethnic hatred, it contains the following passages:
* "1. Russia is for everyone, so that everyone lives well, so that there is no discrimination ...
... The Russian nation is a state-forming nation. And from the very beginning of its history, the Liberal Democratic Party argued that the Russians - the most oppressed of all the peoples of the former Soviet Union - in the current humiliated and robbed country should get rid of the complexes imposed on them by the occupiers and oppressors of the so-called "small peoples" and feel like the masters of the whole country. There will be no Russian people - there will be no Russia itself. And if there is no Russia, there will be no Tatars, no Udmurts, no Yakuts ...
... The Liberal Democratic Party does not establish a monopoly on patriotism for Russians. A Tatar, a Jew, and a Yakut can love Russia...
You cannot live in isolation. It is imperative to have international ties, and mainly with fraternal peoples (Slavs and Orthodox). There would be a good corridor: Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Serbia and Bulgaria. Here is the union of Slavic and Orthodox states. Because in the Czech Republic - Catholics, Poland - Catholics. But the corridor to the Balkans is quite possible to make, and the Romanians will agree, we will formally return Bessarabia to them ... (! - ed. )
We have a negative attitude towards any expansion of NATO... What will we get? NATO troops will stand from Smolensk to Belgorod. The Chinese will stand in the Far East, the Turks will approach Kazan and Voronezh ... "*
