The Dhaka Times Desk Former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright has commented that Russia is equal to Bangladesh in power including missiles. He made this comment in an interview given to Dipress.com recently.
The interview was translated into English and published by the Russian media Russia Insider. Madeleine's comments in the interview, which were published in the press, said in part that "I often keep quiet when people talk about Russia." Russia always seems angry and agitated. In fact, the country is suffering from an identity crisis. I had a conversation with a man in Moscow before 90, which I will never forget.
During the conversation he said, 'I am very ashamed. We have become a superpower but now we are like Bangladesh in terms of power! Vladimir Putin managed to make the right use of the situation. I hope he will be able to restore Russia to its former glory.
In that interview, Madeleine also talked about Putin's success, the presence of Russian troops in Syria, the Crimea and Ukraine issues, and Russia's economic success.
Russia Insider spoke to the country's left-wing activist Eduard Limonov about Madeleine's 'vicious' comments about Russia.
Limonov criticized Madeleine's comments and said, 'She made such comments to belittle our country. We should reply to him in kind without giving any argument to his comments.' Limonov also described Madelina as an 'ugly, old and stupid' woman.
