Because such a state — with increased international prestige, with a mobilized army, and then, thank God, with nuclear weapons, which made it impossible blackmail against us — such a state, like today's Russia, is an obstacle for anyone who wants to become the master of the world,» she explained. to the name of Lenin makes one wonder what is behind it.
