paid tribute to Tsar Peter the Great on the 350th anniversary of his birth on Thursday, claiming that modern Russia is once again on a historic quest “to return and fortify” its lost lands. Erasing any doubt about the true motivation of his invasion of neighboring Ukraine, Putin told an audience of technology students in Moscow that the lot of re-conquering Russia’s former territories fell to their generation.
Solovyov’s frequent guest, Andrey Kartapolov, head of the Russian Duma’s Defense Committee, who previously served as the Deputy Defense Minister, eagerly agreed: “Yes, we will restore and fortify... The world has changed. The period of American colonialism has come to an end and will never return. In this new world, Russia will be the power, the moral compass, the landmark of purity, truth and correctness, to which sensible people will flock from all over the planet.
He criticized Western voices for questioning whether countries without nuclear weapons should submit to the mightier nations brandishing nukes, asserting that might makes right. Admitting that his take is cynical, Shakhnazarov argued: “If you aren’t capable of creating such weapons to defend yourself with, if you don’t have capable engineers and scientists or the industry, then you have to take into account that there are other countries that will be determining how you live.
