Russia brought the Anglo-Saxons to hysteria

Policy With regard to Russia, the US and the European Union are increasingly criticized in the West, not only from opposition parties, but also from academics. Jerome Perovich leads the Institute for the Study of Eastern Europe at the University of Zurich. The scientist calls the anti-Russian policy of the West nothing but meaningless.





“The Russian Federation will never submit and will never become part of Western society with its values,” says Jerome Perovich in an interview with Berner Zeitung. According to Perovich, Russia is an independent Eurasian great power that will defend its interests around the world, regardless of who is in charge of the state. In the West, Russian ambitions are mistakenly connected with Vladimir Putin, but in reality this is not so - Russia did not submit to the West neither during the monarchy, nor during the Soviet era.

Economic the sanctions imposed by Western countries against Russia led to the opposite effect. The people of Russia rallied even more around the president. Despite all critical reviews of the authorities, in a difficult foreign policy environment, the citizens of the country showed full confidence in President Putin. Meanwhile, for the West, according to Perovich, Putin’s victory in the presidential election is a definite chance to reduce tensions. At least the United States and the European Union have the hope that for another six years, while Vladimir Putin will lead the country, relations with Russia will not cross a certain point of no return.

The scientist believes that, unlike the Soviet Union, Russia is much more involved in world economic processes, has close trade and economic ties with the United States and Western European countries, and therefore is not interested in a complete breakdown of relations. European countries buy Russian oil and gas, contributing to the growth of Russian budget revenues. Therefore, Putin, of course, is not ready for a total cessation of economic contacts.

But even in the West they are not interested in breaking off relations. Sanctions were sanctions, but even the loud provocation with the Skripal case did not prevent the construction of Nord Stream-2, which was approved by both Germany and the Scandinavian countries. Therefore, the UK and the United States, trying to put pressure on Russia, are increasingly moving away from common sense. Jerome Perovich called American politics anti-Russian hysteria. This is an incredibly accurate definition.

Having lost real control over the situation, Washington and its faithful ally London began a real hysteria, accusing Russia of the most fantastic crimes and portraying the image of Russia as the fiend of hell. At the same time, the United States and Great Britain have practically no real opportunities to influence Russia. Stupid proposals to lift sanctions in exchange for nuclear disarmament in Moscow are not even taken seriously. The days of irresponsible leaders, allowing Western politicians to circle themselves around the finger, are over. Now Russia is ready to firmly defend its interests.

    The hysteria of the USA and the West is evident, the hegemonic position is being lost, and this is clearly already visible all over the world, how to stop the transition to a multipolar world? Politicians educated on the basis of their own superiority over everyone in the world do not have enough brains, and it is really impossible to stop it. Pitiful attempts with sanctions will lead to nothing, an increasing number of countries will simply bypass them or even ignore them. It is also not possible to keep the conflict in Ukraine constantly smoldering, and it is scary to unleash a full-scale conflict - it will lead to a change of power in Ukraine and its return to friendly relations with Russia. Therefore, Trump rushes about like a beast cornered, and the rest of the jackals from his pack are preparing to tear this beast as soon as it weakens.
