His words caused anger among Kremlin propagandists.

Russian opposition political scientist and publicist, doctor of historical Sciences Alexander Sytin, speaking in the program Vladimir Solovyov “Duel” on channel “Russia1” infuriated the Russian propagandists a statement of fact about Russia’s backwardness in comparison with Western countries.

“You know there is a quote, this quote is not mine, it’s from the Russian classics: “what is Russian no German? One disgusting and nothing more. The thing is that Russia demonstrates an inability to develop. Many established cultural values, let’s say, after the collapse of the Soviet Union? In Russian – a lot?

I look and compare, for example, the development of Russian and Soviet historiography, with the advances that exist in the West. I look and compare the historical path of Russia, where the first University was founded in 1755, and the historical path of Europe, where the first University – Bologna – was founded in 1203″ – began Sytin.

His words aroused the IRE of the Kremlin propagandists, who began to beat it with the question “Who is to occupy Russia?”.

“Who is to occupy Russia? So a divided Russia, Russian is not able to develop, based on your logic, the Germans ponasati? Who we should invade, the Anglo-Saxons?” asked Solovyov.

Further, opponents accused Sytin, who called to give power of 15% of the Russian population, which was able to counter Kremlin propaganda and make their own conclusions, “fascism”.
