MOSCOW, March 6. /TASS/. Russia can drive the last nail into the coffin of the Western world’s neocolonial aspirations together with other countries, the deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council and chairman of the ruling United Russia Party, Dmitry Medvedev, said on Monday.

"If the Soviet Union actively contributed to the demise of the world’s colonial system, now we can drive the last nail into the coffin of the Western world’s neocolonial aspirations together with other countries," Medvedev said in an article uploaded to the United Russia Party’s website on Monday.

A new multipolar world will be much more complex than the "two-dimensional bipolar order or a unipolar diktat," he said.

"This pattern suits us. For Russia, there are no prohibited regions for dialogue because we have never had any colonies. This applies to any issue," Medvedev said.

Truly sovereign states are losing their fear of "the collective West’s diktat" because their national interests outweigh the risks of counteractions such as sanctions, he said.

"The type of fear that Pliny the Younger termed a bad mentor in matters of tribute no longer has any effect. Latin America, which the Atlanticists have seen as their ‘backyard’ since the 1823 Monroe Doctrine, has categorically rejected such a status," Medvedev said, adding that some elites in Western countries were increasingly aware of this.

"The recent issue of the French magazine L’Express, containing futuristic forecasts for the local armed forces (and for foreign policy as well), offers nothing positive. The CAR [Central African Republic] and Mali have already unceremoniously shown French military contingents the door, while the government of Burkina Faso has decided to withdraw from the 1961 military assistance agreement," Medvedev explained.

The influence of France and other "overstuffed Western bosses" is declining in Asia, Africa and Latin America, he said.
