Treacherous pro-Chinese party headed by Putin is now ruling in Russia – Feygin

He expressed this opinion on Espreso TV

"China has achieved its strategic goals for Russia: it got Russia as a raw material appendage, managed to outline a plan for economic expansion first, and then another one. It is too early to talk about the legalization of this expansion. This was manifested in both public and secret agreements that took place, which is quite obvious. And at the same time, China has shown strength and power in relation to its vassals in Moscow. That is, the head of a neighboring state, even one like China, comes to Moscow and says: "You will elect him as president next year." And it doesn't matter how he said it, because it is neither diplomatically unacceptable nor politically or morally and politically ethically. He says that this one will be labeled as a principality, we are giving it a label. And Russia swallowed it. By the way, the comment came from the Kremlin that they have not yet decided and it is too early, but this is already called "playing dumb," the oppositionist commented.

Mark Feygin noted that it would be impossible to go back and say that we disagree, because we are equal partners.

"Putin himself said during his speech that he envied China. And if he envies it, he imitates it, because it's understandable. The statement that a treacherous pro-Chinese party headed by Putin is now in power in Russia is no longer vague rhetoric or talk about nothing. No, this is a statement," Feygin emphasized.
