Representatives of the true intelligentsia, who know the history of Russia, will not be able to afford a single insult towards the soldiers defending the country. About this on the air of the TV channel “Russia 1” said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.
“Their voice <…> was distributed with criticism, with misunderstanding or simply with some kind of insults against our country, our people from those people who call themselves our intelligentsia. No, this is not intelligence. Intelligentsia— These are people who first of all know the history of the country. Those who know the history of our country will never in their lives be able to afford a single insulting word addressed to our defenders and our soldiers, — she said.
Zakharova stressed that this “voice” is not inherent in the majority, comparing it with “mosquito, unpleasant.”
