Russia “with great sympathy” relates to the struggle of African Americans for their rights, but when it becomes “the character of revelry and riots,” this is not good, said Russian President Vladimir Putin in an interview with Paul Zarubino, the author of the program “Moscow. The Kremlin. Putin” on TV channel “Russia 1”.
“I expect that the fundamental principles of American democracy — of course, it should be recognized that this is a very powerful democratic state will allow, will enable this country to emerge from the band of the crisis, in which it is located,” — said the President.
“of Course, you can all different to understand, of course, everyone can make some inaccurate things, even mistakes, but if everything is lined up and works as a single mechanism, the problems will be less and the losses will be less than just the collapse of control. This is the first that comes to coronavirus. As for things related to relations between whites and blacks. Well, this is a known issue, a long-standing problem of the United States. We always – in the Soviet Union and modern Russia with great sympathy for the struggle of African Americans for their natural rights. Always! Martin Luther King, Angela Davis. Remember, in the Soviet Union portraits across the country hung. It was always,” — said Putin.
“But when it gets even on the background of crimes committed, the element of this radical nationalism, extremism, nothing good is not expected. And if a struggle for natural rights, legal rights become rampant and riots, I’m here to do nothing good for the state do not see. We never supported”, he added.
