Prague Will Be Ours Again, Says Russian Propagandist on State TV
Prague morning ^ | 8th August 2023

Posted on 08/14/2023 12:45:09 PM PDT by Cronos

While the Russian army continues to defend its positions in the Donbas, a year and a half since the onset of the Ukrainian invasion, Russian media is already discussing the possibility of expanding Russian territory deep into Central Europe.

As Novinky reports, on Russian television, propagandist Nikolay Vavilov recently asserted that the envisioned revitalized Russian empire should encompass cities like Prague and Berlin.

“It will continue endlessly, and we will progressively assume a role similar to that of the Russian Empire. I wasn’t joking when I mentioned on the previous program that Berlin, Dresden, Prague, and Ljubljana – they will all become part of our domain. Why? Because history shows that when we entered Paris in 1815 and Berlin in 1945, as well as during the late 18th century – these were not mere coincidences. Russia is the largest country in Europe and wields substantial power,” exclaimed Vavilov. He was a guest on the Pervyi Kanal TV discussion show, hosted by the well-known presenter Olga Skabeyeva

Vavilov’s ramblings evidently sparked amusement even on Russian television. Despite his assurance that he was speaking completely seriously, the corners of the mouths of both Skabeyeva and some other guests present during his speech twitched. “Why have we always withdrawn? Why have we been so irresponsible towards our victories?” Skabeyeva asked him.

A recording of the broadcast was posted on the social network by Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to the Ukrainian Interior Minister.

Undeterred, Vavilov continued his impassioned speech, proclaiming, “True victory will be achieved when we stand in Kiev.”

Russian officials have made similar threats since the war in Ukraine broke out. For example, President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly threatened the West with a nuclear attack, Reuters recalled

Why did they leave Afghanistan? Should have kept it, so we wouldn't have wasted our time and resources there.

The Ruzzians are starting to suffer from delusions of grandeur. They are a paper tiger empire that can’t even defeat Ukraine yet they think they can defeat and conquer all of NATO and all of Europe.

Pathetic.

Why would anyone take Russian State tv propaganda as true?

I don’t even believe the US tv propaganda.

The same billboards are also along the Russian Federation urging Odessa be liberated and taken back….which makes sense as Catherine the Great founded the city….just a glimpse into Russian citizens solidarity in their fight against the West.

They can’t even occupy the part of Ukraine they have already delusionally annexed into Russia. Putin’s Russia is fake and Potemkin. Only Biden can save him.
