The text is in Russian, but below is google translate. This is from Putler's official Kremlin website. I think this is FUCKING REQUIRED reading for those on right who like Putler the Great, and also for our left-leaning Patnetters who, against all evidence, think that Putin made Trump win in 2016.
After all, I have been a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union for almost twenty years, eighteen years. To be honest, I was there an ordinary, but, in general, one might say, an ideological party member. I still enjoy many of these leftist values. Equality, brotherhood - what's wrong with that? This is akin to Christianity in fact. Difficult to implement in real life, but nevertheless they are very attractive. Therefore, in this sense, there is even some kind of ideological basis for establishing contacts with a representative of the Democratic Party.
As you know, the African American population of the United States constitutes a stable electoral base, one of the electoral bases of the Democratic Party in the United States. This is also well known; I am not discovering anything new here. But the Soviet Union also constantly supported the movement of African Americans towards the realization of ensuring their legal rights. Even the Comintern wrote in the 1930s that the Negro representatives of the working class and the white workers have one enemy - imperialism and capitalism. And they wrote that this detachment could be the most effective in the future revolutionary struggle.
So here, too, there is something that, to a certain extent, well, if we do not unite and do not relate, then are common values. I am not afraid of this word, as it is.
Remember, well, you are a young man, and people of my generation remember that we had a moment when huge portraits of Angela Davis, a member of the US Communist Party and an active fighter for African American rights, hung all over the Soviet Union.
Therefore, it seems to us that what we can talk about and that represents at least some kind of basis for mutual understanding. But that's not all. For example, candidate Biden has publicly said that he is ready to extend START or to conclude a new treaty on the limitation of strategic offensive arms. And this is already a very serious element of our possible cooperation in the future.
