“The goals will be achieved”: Patrushev answered the question about the timing of special operations in Ukraine

Russian Federation Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev said that the Russian military will “absolutely fulfill all the goals” set by President Putin. Her words leads to Newspaper “Arguments and Facts”.

One of the questions from AiF journalists is, “Some of our readers sometimes express their concerns about the “extension of the special operation in Ukraine” at the time of writing.

In response, Patrushev said that the Russian leadership does not follow the deadlines.

“All the goals set by the President of Russia will be fulfilled. It cannot be otherwise, because truth is on our side, including historical truth. It is not in vain that General Skobelev once said that only our country can afford the luxury of fighting with compassion. Compassion, justice, dignity are strong unifying ideas that we always put forward and will bring to the fore.”

According to the former director of the FSB, “Nazism must either be eliminated 100%, or it will raise its head in a few years and even more outrageously” (quotes and punctuation are given as in the source). ).

Patrushev also touched on the question of the future fate of Ukraine. He stressed that the fate of the Ukrainian state will be determined by “the people living on its territory”.

He stated that Russia never controlled the fate of sovereign states, but rather helped them defend their sovereignty.

According to Patrushev, Russia supported the United States during the civil war, assisted France on several occasions, including after the victory over Napoleon and during the First World War.

“It was the USSR in 1945 that did not allow the British and Americans to divide Germany into many states. The decisive role of Moscow in the reunification of Germany, which the French and the British were most opposed to, is well known. Russia has played an equally important role in the history of the Polish state,” he said. But he did not explain what role Russia played in Polish history.

Journalists explained that Finland, which wanted to join NATO with Patrushev, “also formed as a state” within the Russian Empire.

In response, Patrushev stated that this was indeed the case, and recalled the minimal damage inflicted on the Finns after the Second World War, thanks to the position of the USSR.

“Now Finland, along with Sweden, has been persuaded to join NATO, ostensibly for their own security. But Turkey and Croatia object, but I still think that Helsinki and Stockholm will be accepted into the bloc … NATO is not a defensive, but an offensive offensive military bloc, ”said he.

Finally, Patrushev said in an interview that Russia has the right to demand compensation from the countries that support the “Nazis” in Ukraine, and from Ukraine itself – from the “Kyiv regime”. The Ukrainian people also deserve compensation from the USA and the UK.

“Many Ukrainians unfortunately still believe what the West and the Kyiv regime tell them. Sobering will come sooner or later. “They haven’t opened their eyes yet to see that the country doesn’t really exist, that people’s gene pool and cultural memory have been destroyed by Westerners and replaced by rabid gender concepts and empty liberal values.” Security Council.

In addition, Patrushev was outraged that “some school teachers” in Russia had a “false version of fateful events” – “It was America who defeated Nazi Germany.”

“The subject of the heroism of the Soviet people during the Great Patriotic War is seldom covered in history lessons and is often described superficially in textbooks. As a result, only a few high school students can name those who won the Victory at the cost of their own lives in 1945, and almost no one has heard of the heroes of the First World War or the Patriotic War of 1812, ”said the former head of the FSB.

The reason, according to Patrushev, is in the training of teachers. He also emphasized that “an arbitrary interpretation of history that undermines the authority of the country” such as “psychological manipulation of youth, the gap between generations and the distortion of historical reality” is unacceptable.

To deal with this, the official proposed abandoning the Bologna education system, increasing the state order for the creation of patriotic books and films, and implementing a “state program in science.” [образования и воспитания] at all stages of a person’s growth and formation as a citizen.

In the fall of 2021, Nikolai Patrushev said that it is absolutely necessary to suppress the spread of extremist ideas among young people and to take preventive measures in this area.

“Disruptive groups use the internet to impose a criminal subculture on youth and disregard common moral norms,” he said.

Nikolai Patrushev is 70 years old, he was born in Leningrad. In the second half of the 1970s, in the Leningrad division of the KGB, he met with the future President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin. In 1999, Patrushev became director of the FSB and headed the special service until 2008.

“Patrushev tries to meticulously choose synonyms, phraseological units and well-meaning expressions. Realizing that his statements were not only quoted by journalists, but also analyzed by special services and politicians abroad,” he said.
