European public opinion not as monolithic as US would like, says intel boss

Sergey Naryshkin castigated attempts by Washington-led totalitarian and neoliberal Western regimes, who are unable to find any successful examples of unipolar strategies in the past, subsequently feel compelled to falsify the history of the Second World War

MOSCOW, January 31. /TASS/. Public opinion in European countries is not as monolithic as Washington would like it to be, Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Director Sergey Naryshkin said on Tuesday.

Addressing a roundtable commemorating WWII in Russia and France, he said, "Nowadays, public opinion in Europe is not as monolithic as Washington would like it to be. And the presence of French volunteers among Donbass defenders, and our meeting today are a clear confirmation of that."

Naryshkin, who also chairs the Russian Historical Society, castigated attempts by Washington-led totalitarian and neoliberal Western regimes, who are unable to find any successful examples of unipolar strategies in the past, subsequently feel compelled to falsify the history of the Second World War. "In these circumstances, honest and unbiased discussions of the past, designed to consolidate constructive forces in our country and abroad, are of paramount importance," Naryshkin emphasized.
