Lavrov explained the popularity of his "USSR" sweater

On July 29, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov explained the popularity of his sweater with the inscription "USSR", in which he appeared at the summit in Alaska, with a wave of nostalgia for this state.

"By the way, after Alaska, where I appeared in a USSR sweater, my assistants called and thanked me. They said they were ready to impose these sweaters on my friends," the minister said in an interview with TASS.

According to him, there is now a special wave of nostalgia for the USSR. Lavrov stressed that people feel involved in what their ancestors did in the most difficult conditions.

"It seems to me, as [Russian President] Vladimir Putin said, that whoever does not regret the Soviet Union has no heart, and whoever wants to return it has no head. As for the heart, all this remains. As for the head, thank God, in the current situation in Russia there is a head, and it is sober," he said.

Common past: Russians named the most interesting epochs and events in history.
