On Tuesday, July 16, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry spoke at a meeting of the UN Security Council, which was convened by the aggressor country. In his speech, Lavrov referred to Orwell’s story “Animal Farm,” NBN reports.
According to him, the writer predicted the essence of an order based on rules, where all “animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.” The representative of Moscow said that those who “carry out the will of the hegemon” are allowed everything, and those who supposedly dare to defend national interests are made an outcast and sanctions are imposed on them.
Kislitsa was outraged by Putin's minister's statements. On his page on the social network X, he noted that Orwell’s books were banned in the USSR, since the Briton criticized Stalin and was hostile to his regime, which the “henchmen-speechwriters” forgot to remind the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
Diplomat recalled that in the story “Animal Farm” Orwell depicts the events in Russia before the revolution of 1917 and the period of the Stalinist era of the USSR, which is so loved in the modern Russian Federation.
The Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the UN noted that in the book each animal represented a certain class of society in the Soviet Union, which resembles the current society of a terrorist dictator state (Napoleon the boar), the working class (Boxer the horse), inactive intelligentsia (Veniamin the donkey), NKVD employees (dogs), silent masses of people (sheep) controlled by the Kremlin Media (pig Kvikun), etc.
“So, Comrade Lavrov, what kind of animal are you?” asked the Russian Foreign Minister Kislitsa.
Earlier, Ukraine's permanent representative to the UN hinted at the destruction of the Crimean Bridge with an ironic picture.
