New interview

What troubles me the most right now is when our northern neighbor will finally go back home. For me, this is above all about decolonizing Russia. Maybe we won’t live to see it happen—the moment when russia, let’s say, falls apart—because in reality, it’s not enough for just Putin to disappear. They always produce a new putin, or a new stalin, or someone else like that. But there’s a plan for our children, and for the more distant future as well—maybe one of our descendants will live to see the moment when Russia breaks up into small states. They have, what, 120-something nationalities? Nationalities whose languages are nearly destroyed, whose identities are nearly destroyed. They feel the way we once did in the Soviet Union—oppressed, suppressed, and made to feel inferior.
