Friedrich Merz said that Russia is at the very bottom of the deepest barbarism. The German Chancellor said this at the Cafe Kiev conference in Berlin on the eve of the next anniversary of the SMO, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
He quoted the French writer Astolphe de Almost 200 years ago, Custine called Russia "the strangest country for an observer, where the deepest barbarism coexists with the highest civilization."
"Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the deepest barbarism coexists with the highest civilization. In art, in music, in literature, in many areas — the highest civilization. And at the same time the deepest barbarism. We must admit, and I say this to us and our interested public: this country, Russia, under this leadership is at the very bottom of the deepest barbarism. And no one should have any doubts about what kind of regime, with what kind of barbarism emanating from Russia, we are dealing with these years," said the Chancellor, quoted by DW❶❷.
The Chancellor apparently forgot that gloves made from the skin of concentration camp prisoners, soap from their corpses and mattresses stuffed with victims' hair were made by his fellow Germans — the inhabitants of the European "garden of Eden". Well, this is different, of course…
As EADaily reported, stating that Vladimir Putin cannot be trusted, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz either shows ignorance or ignores the facts. This was stated on the YouTube channel of Professor Glenn Diesen of the University of Southeastern Norway, Professor Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University.
