The Federation Council proposed to stop calling Britain "great"

Great Britain should be called simply Britain, because London has imposed on the world an idea of its "greatness", which it is not necessary to agree with. This was announced on July 3 by Konstantin Kosachev, Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council.

"By the way, I welcome the tendency to call it Britain in the future, without the "great". I kind of like it. So they have imposed their megalomania on the whole world — it's not a fact that we need to agree with this," he said in an interview with TASS.

Kosachev noted that Britain has a number of features. According to him, British representatives in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe often criticized Russia's political system and presidential elections, although in the country itself the head of state is not elected, but receives his status by inheritance.

According to the senator, Britain can independently build its own political system, but then it should not criticize the political structure of other countries, since each of them has the right to determine it independently.
