On December 12, 2017 at 20:00 Moscow time, a live broadcast on the theme - "Russian disease of liberalism" took place on the People's Slavic Radio. Author-storyteller - Anatoly Klyosov

“Firstly, what is usually put into this concept in Russia is not liberalism at all. For example, an American liberal is a patriot of his country. The Russian liberal hates the word“patriot”. For him, the word“patriotism”is like a red rag for a bull The Western liberal considers the rights and freedoms of every person to be the highest value. The Russian liberal does not put a penny on the rights of the Crimean residents to their self-determination and to return to Russia. The American liberal is ready to lie down for American territories, the Russian liberal is ready to hand out Russian territories to anyone. The Russian liberal hates Russia, the Russian people, Russian history. The Russian liberal is ready to justify any traitors to the Motherland, from Vlasov to Rodchenkov. The Russian liberal admires everything that goes to the detriment of Russia.

Secondly, the Russian liberal covers up everything that has been said by the fact that he is "neutral", that he "rises above the battle." And this is the most disgusting.

Third, the Russian liberal always stands on the side of the anti-Russian forces. Taken together, Russian liberals play the role of a "fifth column" in the Russian public and statehood. All this is not new, and in this speech I will focus on the "role of liberalism" in perverting the history of Russia and then Russia. In particular, at the suggestion of liberal historians and other liberals who sympathize with them, the history of Russia is distorted.

They raise screams when erecting any monuments to Russian historical figures - Vladimir the Great, Ivan the Terrible, Marshal Zhukov - anyone. They are ardent admirers of the false Norman theory, inflating the number of "Scandinavians" in Russia to tens and hundreds of thousands of people, and these "Scandinavians", according to the modern pressure of the liberals, did everything positive in Russia - military affairs, culture, diplomacy, crafts, and the Slavs supposedly were stupid and lazy, incapable of anything.

They gloss over for the modern generation (and for the previous three generations at least) the heroic successes of Russian weapons, generals, officers, soldiers in all military operations of Russia, including the Caucasian wars of the early 19th century, the Crimean War, the Balkan Wars, the Russian-Japanese war.

Where do we write that the commander-in-chief of the Japanese armed forces after the war made himself hara-kiri, because he could not stand the shame?

Where do they write about the valiant victories of the Russians during the Crimean War?

Where - about the fact that in that war they gave not Crimea, but only Sevastopol, and then after a few years it was returned?

Liberals pedalize the notion that the generals of the tsarist army were all stupid and corrupt, that all the tsars were cowardly (for Peter I they do indulgence in this regard, but in all other respects they hate and distort history). In a speech, these "liberal pedaling" will be debunked. It is shown that they are not liberals at all, but conciliators, provocateurs, defeatists, traitors to the Motherland. They pulled the term "liberals" for themselves."
