Naryshkin said that Russia has no right to be weak
Russia has no right to be weak, nor to abandon its own values. This was announced on May 28 by Sergei Naryshkin, Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), during an international meeting of high-level representatives in charge of security issues.
He noted that, based on historical facts, it has long been concluded that security depends on Russia's strong position not only in Eurasia, but also on the entire planet.
"Russia has no right to be weak. Russia has no right to abandon its own values and pursue the chimeras of totalitarian liberalism and globalism. History teaches that security on the Eurasian continent and, ultimately, around the world depends on Russia's strong position," the head of the SVR said.
At the same time, the authorities of European countries are diligently intimidating their citizens that they need to step up militarization, as a strong threat is allegedly coming from the East, he said.
"Hitler acted in a similar logic on the eve of World War II," Naryshkin stated.
Before that, on May 27, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the ruling elites in the West were turning freedom, democracy and human rights into decorations. Against this background, like-minded Russians abroad are actively involved in creative work with Moscow, seeing Russia as a stronghold of traditional values that are close to the whole planet, the head of state said.
On May 16, the Director of the SVR noted that the multipolarity of the new world is becoming more and more visible. Naryshkin said that at present there are all signs of the degradation of the Western-centric world order, and the rejection of the so-called Western values imposed from the outside is growing in the world. Against this background, the United States is negotiating with European countries to increase their support for anti-systemic forces in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), he warned.
