Yes, yes, this very Sergei Naryshkin, the Director of SVR (Service of Foreign Intelligence) of Russia. His speech (in Russian) at Moscow International Security Conference on April 25, 2019 is rather remarkable. Here is the piece which speaks volumes:
Translation: Russia, who survived three devastating wars in the last 100 years, tirelessly keeps calling on other members of international community for cooperative search for the solutions to accumulated problems. Sadly, even in those spheres where such negotiations are being conducted, such as fight against terrorism or informational security, the Western partners continue to keep their fingers crossed behind backs (in Russian--keeping fig in pocket). This, of course, doesn't mean that we should interrupt all contacts and isolate either them or ourselves. Dialog needs to be continued, even if to prevent a final disintegration of the present international system, which still provides for some strategic stability. In the present, tensions filled, situation one should follow the path not of destruction but of strengthening of global and regional formats, along the way perfecting and transforming those to the benefit of the world and security on the whole planet. If the West, headed by the United States, lacks maturity and courage for moving in this direction, other centers of power will have to design such global future without them. Instead of outdated liberal universalism, new world order--just and stable--should come. This order must be created under such conditions and in such formats, which will allow coexistence of states and regional formations, each of them having the right for own unique development. I am positive that healthy forces in the West interested in elementary self-preservation will gravitate towards this process, with those forces understanding risks which arise for the international community. Will this (new) system provide genuine unity in diversity or will again become merely a cover for the power of the club for few selected, to a large degree depends on yours and our work.
It is a very interesting speech, which, considering who Naryshkin really is, his real weight, tells something of note. I would say decisions which made Russia turn on "Turbo" regime. It is especially remarkable when one considers that immediately after talking to Putin on the phone four days ago, Trump decided to raise tariffs on Chinese products. This attempt fizzled out--China remained unimpressed--and this means that there is a consensus between Russia and China on what to do both with the US and the West in general. It also means that the conditions for surrender are also mostly worked out--that is what Naryshkin articulated in his speech. But even more so was a direct informing of the combined West that Russia really doesn't need it anymore as she doesn't liberal model. I can already hear squealing of the pigs in Russia's liberal pigsty. As Meatloaf sang:
Can't you hear the choir now?
Listen to the animals sing!
Can't you hear the slaughterhouse bells?
In the land of the pigs the butcher is king!
In the land of the pigs the butcher is king!
Listen to the animals sing!
Can't you hear the slaughterhouse bells?
In the land of the pigs the butcher is king!
In the land of the pigs the butcher is king!
