During a press conference following the summit in St. Petersburg, Kommersant correspondent Andrei Kolesnikov asked the Russian president regarding the arrests of theater director Yevgenia Berkovich and sociologist Boris Kagarlitsky*.
“People are arrested for written or spoken words. Is it normal? Well, thank God, it’s not our 37th year, is it? Or are some already, you know, thinking, and maybe the 37th year? Kolesnikov asked.
Putin replied that we have 2023. “The Russian Federation is in a state of armed conflict with a neighbor. And I think that there should be a certain attitude towards those people who harm us inside the country, ”Putin said.
The President stated that he did not know the people named by Kolesnikov. “Maybe they don’t deserve what they did. I don’t even know how,” the president said.
The president also added that “in Ukraine they are shot for this”: “You know, yes, that several people were simply killed there, as soon as they opened their mouths. Even a member of the negotiating group from Ukraine, I don’t know why, on suspicion that he said something wrong, he was immediately liquidated. This does not mean that we should do so. But we must keep in mind that in order for us to achieve success, including in the war zone, we need to follow certain rules for everyone.”
