Lecturer in the Russian Studies master's program at Karlov University Dmitry Dubrovsky (entered by the Ministry of Justice in the register of foreign agents -Polit.ru) on the YouTube channel “On the Country and Peace” says :
“What we did not see, <...> is that this whole regime was still not about money. We all understand, these reasoning, this rhetoric is just an addition or a protective mechanism in order to steal money, but also say that democratic institutions did not interfere with us that we have our own civilization <...>.
It turned out that no, that the money is secondary here, they are ready to sacrifice them <...> for a great terrible goal, which still has not gone anywhere. This resentment, which in the 90s was noticeable <...>, but it seemed that the resentment went somewhere deeper, which, of course, was the anti-shipping of the elites, but <...> it was so deaf: it seemed that there was no difference between the anti-Western sentiments of the French elite and Russian, in general, there was no. Where anti -Western is understood as anti -American, that we are Europeans, we have our own agenda, there is nothing to climb to us, that's all. But it turned out that this position was jumped and turned into what we have turned into this position with seven -mini steps. ”
