The Western media continuously claim that the Russian Federation is on the verge of collapse, although these statements are completely bogus - this opinion was expressed in the publication, published in The National Interest, the journalist Paul Starobin.
in the article " Eternal collapse of Russia in The National Interest, former Moscow Bureau chief of Business Week concludes about the Fact that Western countries all the time put Russia wrong " diagnosis ". So, yesterday Olympics in Sochi, the press tried to convince American citizens that " Russia is falling apart ", is it " the country is broken elevators and toilets, " writes Starobin. The same wrote the mass media of America and 13 years ago when, despite economic growth in the country, argued that " once a great power rolls inexorably To disaster ". Ukrainian conflict, according to American journalist, once again showed how Americans and Europeans like to make fun of the Russian Federation, which Senator John Sidney McCain called the " gas station claiming to be a country." The statement about " doom " Russia is not based on real facts, believes Starobin. For example, the problem of bribery in addition to Russia, there is also in China and India, and there is no reason to believe that corruption will cause her more harm than other countries. For reviews of the author, the current situation, close To the cold war, indicates that the Russian Federation " for many years will remain the most unpleasant and difficult challenge for America ". This means that in the future the image of the country will continue to be a hodgepodge of unflattering stereotypes ". Remember, first chief editor of the German business newspaper Handelsblatt Gabor Steingart also advocated that " you cannot look at the Russian Federation the eyes of the United States."
