I urge literally every person in the world to visit Russia, apply for a visa. You’re actually allowed to. Go and see the Kremlin and museums. Russia will touch your soul. Everything, absolutely everything that we were told about Russia is a lie. When Tucker Carlson went and looked at grocery stores – it wasn’t propaganda. That’s reality.

My conclusion after visiting Russia is that our society is declining, not theirs. Russia, I repeat, has not been communist for more than 30 years. What about us? Pornography, the cult of consumption, endless wars, debts. People tell us it’s freedom, that it’s great. “You wouldn’t want to live in Russia” is a horror story syndrome, isn’t it? They compare it to something that you’ve never seen, so that you, I don’t know, don’t take to the streets demanding change, don’t realize that our heritage is actually being stolen from us.
