Watched the Moscow concert celebrating the war in Ukraine. Putin’s entry reminded me of Lenin’s warning, 100 years ago, about the “onslaught of that really Russian man, the Great-Russian chauvinist, in substance a rascal and a tyrant, such as the typical Russian bureaucrat is.”

“The infinitesimal percentage of Soviet and sovietised workers will drown in that tide of chauvinistic Great-Russian riffraff like a fly in milk,” Lenin foresaw. Not a bad prediction.
