"We have to take back Finland, Poland, the Baltic States, Alaska…"
On the Russian television station Russia 1, the pro-Putin propagandists were having a field day. The comments made by the Soloviev gang are a direct threat to Russia's neighbours.
Vladimir Soloviev is one of the faces of the Russian regime's disinformation and propaganda, particularly since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. And on his show he asserted: "We need to reclaim a lot more historic land, restore historical fairness... Finland, the Baltic States, everything is ours. Let's take Alaska too".
A few little phrases thrown out by propagandist polemicistsn that did not go unnoticed: Russia 1 is considered to be the official voice of the Kremlin and its master.
As for Maria Zakharova, Director and Spokeswoman for Information and Press at the Russian Foreign Ministry, she did not hesitate to comment on the provocative statements made by Russia 1's propagandists: "So you haven't played 'Risk'? The people at Russia 1 certainly have, and they are keeping up the good humour in the eternal game of world domination. The extension of Russia to the former Soviet borders is an ongoing project."
Before concluding with a scathing and threatening "Stay tuned, stay tuned."
