Putin teaches the first
On the Web, they are trying to digest "Leningradskaya Street Lessons" from the Valdai forum
For the past 12 years, the Valdai International discussion club has been gathered annually in Russia, and Vladimir Putin takes part in this event every year.

#Tediumvitae Valdai International Discussion Club
This year, Valdai was held in Sochi. At the meeting on October 22, 2015, Putin arrived late at two o’clock and in the Lada Vesta car , the new AvtoVAZ model - which, as Ivan Davydov reports in the scene , joked on the sidelines:
Vladimir Putin was expected by half past four. But he did not appear. And by four did not appear either. And by five. On the sidelines they joked that Lada Vesta let down on the mountain road.
I fantasize: Putin arrives after 3 hours, smashed, tired: “Damn, the carburetor flew. And the wheel ...” Lada -ovesta on my mind. #Valdai2015
- Jüri Vendik (@maloverjanbbc) October 22, 2015But Putin arrived and even said that the car "went uphill itself."
Putin about the new Lada Vesta: “easily switches, it itself goes when the load increases up the mountain” Pic.twitter.com/qswdso4gxs
- The fastest elephant (@fastslon) October 22, 2015RBC recalls that Vesta is not the first AvtoVAZ model, running around by the president: there was still viburnum, remembered that she did not master the path from Khabarovsk to Chita.
“And now journalists are wondering what Vladimir Putin will leave this building on,” the Corr Corr writes one famous channel. #Valdai2015
- Jüri Vendik (@maloverjanbbc) October 22, 2015On Twitter, they immediately offered a new promising modification:
Lada Igil. Bombs for pleasure.
- Knitted tweeter (@twitted_knitter) October 22, 2015Last year, Putin’s Valdai speech was remembered by his anti -American orientation. Without “hard criticism” there were no addresses this time, but either in a year everyone got used to the corresponding rhetoric, or Putin decided not to aggravate the “discussion”, but this time his performance did not produce such a frightening effect. True, foreign experts, according to Lilia Shevtsova, are still trying to adapt to the new picture of the world:
Valdai forum. Putin once again explains the world to foreign experts (who, apparently, have not yet understood what they were dealing with).
"Putin proposed a contradictory picture: how can you agree with America if the Americans are to blame for everything?" - The participant in the meeting asks. He will have to come for dinner with Putin again. It can be seen that it is difficult to understand the Kremlin idea of a world order based on the idea of "to beat first!" But it is such a world that Putin offers. In this world, everything is relative: the aggressor can be an intermediary in finding a way out of the war unleashed by him; The violator of international treaties is the initiator of the new coalitions. In this world, the balance of power is based not on strength, but on readiness to play without rules. This is the world of weak, which cannot afford to admit weakness. This is the world of those who are ready for blackmail strong, but limp and those who are ready to trade in their pragmatism. This is the world of cognitive dissonance- it is unlikely that a healthy state for the psyche. Let's see how Western colleagues will “conceptualize” Valdai brew. Even interesting ...
The theme of the forum was declared as "War and Peace." The reasons are clear without explanation, writes Andrei Kolesnikov in a report, which is published by the Kommersant :
At the very beginning, Vladimir Putin warned that he would talk about a fair and unfair war, about how the greatest minds of mankind since ancient times thought about this. Of course, he recalled Leo Tolstoy, who considered the world an ideal for humanity, but at the same time understood that humanity from time to time was looking for a way out of contradictions through the war, and, it seemed, was with understanding of this.
For anyone in the hall, of course, there was no secret why Vladimir Putin so enthusiastically speaks on this subject. It is strange if he talked about something else.
One of the complaints against the United States this time was expressed that they continue to develop a pro system in Europe, despite the lack of threat from Iran:
Russian Foreign Ministry: the United States is building a pro -building, despite the positive resolution of the issue with Iran https://t.co/8bmlufkaz pic.twitter.com/ubrwfcqhcd
- RT in Russian (@rt_russian) October 22, 2015But despite the fact that the West is deceiving Russia and conducting pro -proceedings, thanks to the operation in Syria, Russia has a new chance of partnership with the West: “The main thing is to perceive each other as allies” in the fight against terrorism. Commenting on Putin’s speech, Boris Mezhuev in Izvestia colorfully describes how Russia and the West could combine their forces in the struggle against universal evil:
... Evil and good will eventually gain their final appearance and will converge in the same last fight.
... where this final last fight should take place, if not in the Middle East, where the Megiddo Valley is located, where at one time the Egyptian pharaoh defeated the Jewish king and where the army of the light should be plunged by the army of Gogh and Magog.
The whole question now, however, is who we and the Western countries will be in this clash - allies or opponents in Armageddon of the present. Will we fight against a common enemy - world terrorism or, by chance or thoughtlessness, will encounter each other in a new war, which will inevitably put the end of the existing civilization?
The main thing is to perceive each other as allies in the struggle, ”Putin calls for“ partners ”to forget and start all over again. And not a word about Ukraine.
- Jüri Vendik (@maloverjanbbc) October 22, 2015Well, not just a word. Commenting on the performance of one of the forum participants, Putin said: "The situation in Ukraine, of course, creates a danger to us, but have we created this situation?"
Putin called the collapse of the USSR "tragedy", adding that as a result of "25 million ethnic Russians, once abroad, besides their will." Bloggers remind that the current president then did not seem to object to such a development of events:
President Vladimir Putin in August 1991 fully supported the humanitarian disaster
- Smirnov (@ssmirnov) October 22, 2015TASS reports that according to the results of the discussion after the performance, Putin urged not to confuse the spread of democracy with the expansion of NATO:
"What do you have under democracy (in view - Ed.): NATO promotion to our borders? Is this Democracy? NATO is a military bloc. We are not worried about the promotion of democracy to our borders, we are worried about the promotion of NATO military infrastructure to our borders," Putin said.
Michael McFol's words about NATO caused Nostalgia for Medvedev’s speech at the NATO summit in 2010:
As I Read What Putin Said ABOUT NATO @valdaiclub , I am Reminded What Medvedev Said at Nato Summit in 2010: https://t.co/hnknredjbr
- Michael MCFAUL (@MCFAUL) October 22, 2015Indeed, Medvedev then said that the Russians were in vain in NATO aggressor, and the West in vain believes that in Russia no forms of government are impossible except the dictatorship.
But the main quote from yesterday, instantly scattered over the network, sounds like this: "Even 50 years ago, Leningradskaya Street taught me one rule: if the fight is inevitable, you need to beat first." Putin said these words, explaining the need for a military operation against terrorists in Syria.
If a 90% rating can be beaten by anyone.

- vladislav (@unkn0wnerror) October 22, 2015Not everyone believes that in childhood, Putin really used these lessons:

- Deaccified Optimist (@antibotax) October 22, 2015 Putin did not take into account at least 2 points: 1) In the inevitability of fights, you can make a mistake 2) Street rules work in both sides of Pic.twitter.com/ntmpempjnw
- Vladislav Naganov (@naganoff_ru) October 22, 2015Someone remembered Krasnogorsk Avenger:
“Even 50 years ago, I realized: there is a threat, I need to beat first,” the Krasnogorsk shooter Amiran Georgadze admitted.
- Warrior of Good (@berillii) October 22, 2015 Krasnogorsk arrow was also taught, to shoot first. Yes, shoot each other. Leave the world alone!
- Revolutionary thoughts (@vvp2_0) October 22, 2015Not without an inevitable comparison with Hitler:
The USSR believed that the attack of fascist Germany was vile and treacherous. And Hitler probably thought that since the fight was inevitable-to beat first.
- Andrey Shumilo (@andykrim65) October 22, 2015And someone is already collecting the "Rules of life":
Putin Testaments: ▪️ Beat the first, because The fight is always inevitable Everyone is lying ▪️ Band of high heels Pic.twitter.com/ujqhgefxkb
- Julia Davis (@juliadavisnews) October 22, 2015But in general, social networks come to approximately this conclusion:

- Russian President (@kremlinrussia_) October 22, 2015Putin’s Valdai speech (28 minutes) can be seen, for example, on the rain , its main theses are also published there. For those who have a lot of free time, RIA-News publishes the broadcast of the entire meeting with the participation of the president entirely (3 hours 30 minutes).
