But for the rest of the world, this interview is a real “brain explosion.” For some, it’s a cold shower, for others, it’s a breath of air, for others, it’s an opportunity to look at the world with completely different eyes,” Khinshtein wrote in his Telegram. channel.
Khinshtein noted that the main theses from the president's speech are close and understandable to the absolute majority of Russian citizens, since they express the thoughts and feelings of Russians.
“For many years, Western society lived inside an “information bubble”, which was methodically inflated by the “free” media, depicting horrors one worse than the other and depriving Russia of the opportunity to explain its position. Now this bubble has finally been broken!” , — added the deputy.
