Russian FM Lavrov: Even Orwell Couldn’t Imagine Totalitarianism We Witness in the U.S.

TRANSCRIPT:

LAVROV (via translator): “George Orwell had a very rich imagination and historical foresight, but of course, even he could not even imagine what the totalitarian state would look like. He described some of its outlines, but was unable to dive into the depths of the totalitarianism that we are now witnessing within the framework of the so-called rules-based order, incumbent leaders in Washington who simply suppress any dissent, have, of course, surpassed him. This is totalitarianism in its purest form.”
