Russian viewers saw a political scientist bluntly admitting 'not everything is so terrific' and saying full-scale war with Ukraine 'was not supposed to happen.'
Political scientist guest Kurginyan laid out the obstacles facing Russia, and although he bullishly claimed,"so what?" after some of his points, he nevertheless clearly set out the scale of Russia's woes.
He said:"We are all alone. So what? There are half as many of us, as compared to the USSR or the Russian Empire. So what? Our society is plagued by hedonism etc. So what? It doesn't mean that we can lose. "If everything is terrific, why the heck are we retreating from the territories that are already part of the Russian Federation? It means that not everything is so terrific, but it doesn't mean that everything is so horrible as the Ukrainian enemy and the Western media are trying to portray. As well as the hysteria of idiots, howling like dogs after every episode, it doesn't mean that it's so. Nor does it mean that it's wonderful.
"We are a disadvantaged country, we are a territorially disadvantaged country, ours is not a comfortable location of the territory. We can hold on to our dear, beloved country only at the expense of extraordinary efforts. That is how it is. We are surrounded by neighbors who look at our territories with a great appetite, as well as everything that we have. We have a low population density. Damn it, there aren't that many of us right now.
"We've been forced into a big conventional war that has been excluded from the post-Soviet military philosophy for decades. It was not supposed to happen."
