Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova quoted a poem by Vladimir Mayakovsky in response to the caustic remarks of former US Secretary of State John Kerry about Russian influence on the incumbent president. She responded to the former head of US diplomacy on her Facebook page.

Speaking to students at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in Massachusetts, Kerry said that to influence the current US administration, one must know Russian.

"I've always been asked how you can influence the decisions of the authorities. I used to say that you need to participate in elections. Or, for example, get a degree in Harvard. Recently everything has changed. I would say with this administration you need to buy a textbook on the Russian language, "- said in the speech of the former state official, which leads the publication of Politico.

In response, Maria Zakharova said that knowing the Russian language is useful to everyone without exception. If the ex-president of the country was more attentive to Russia, the relations between the countries during his term could be formed differently, the employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"I do not know what textbooks on the Russian language you need to buy" with this "administration of the United States, and" from the past "should be on the eve of the anniversary 2017 to buy a volume of Vladimir Vladimirovich. Although, of course, this is our miscalculation - it was necessary to give, "- wrote Zakharova.

Then she quoted a fragment from Mayakovsky's poem "Our Youth": "If I were a Negro of advanced years, and then, without dejection and laziness, I would learn Russian only for what Lenin was talking to them".

The official representative of the foreign ministry also wrote that after Kerry's words it became clear to her "why the previous administration so hastily decided to" establish "relations with Cuba - recently the department of the State Institute of the Russian Language at the Faculty of Foreign Languages ??of the University of Havana resumed its work ". Apparently, after the resignation of ex-President Barack Obama, ex-Secretary of State John Kerry and other high-ranking officials are going to sit on a student's bench in the capital of Cuba and study the rules of Russian grammar.

Kerry's irrelevant sharpness about the influence that Russia exerts on Donald Trump has already filled the edge. The former secretary of state, like other representatives of the Democratic Party, continues to blame the US administration for unlawful ties with the Kremlin, but for the months since Trump was elected, they have been unable to provide any clear evidence.

The intrigues of Russia like to talk and the leaders of the American special services. Apparently, the recent dismissal of the director of the FBI James Komi did not teach them anything..

On the eve of the director of the National Survey of the United States, Daniel Coates accused Russia of "interfering" with the electoral processes in Europe. The Russian Foreign Ministry had again to refute these words.

"Bullshit, if you speak directly and in the forehead. Intelligence should be engaged in intelligence, and not climb and not participate in internal intrigues, "- said the Special Representative of the President on international cooperation in the field of information security, Ambassador at Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Andrei Krutskikh.
