The author of the book "Talking with" * Tnik ", a Georgian publicist and professor at the University of Ilia Oleg Panfilov composed a psychological portrait of a typical Russian cheerleader.

In an interview with the Ukrinform website, Panfilov noted that the Russian "vestnik" is a generalizing image of a person who is "sick" with patriotism without any justification and pride for his country.

According to the publicist, in certain historical periods they were called "m * cliffs", then - "scoops", but "it is not so much about nationality as about the state of intelligence".

"Uneducated people who do not want to know their history, they call today" in * tnikami "... I will say that there are no such" dudes ": some would like to return to the 1930s so that" no nit could make a fuss "Against our dear and beloved companion of the Way. , That is, Stalin. Others would like to again get into Brezhnev's times, when it was possible to occupy some insignificant position, and then move forward - to the very trough that allowed to live comfortably. "- said Panfilov.

"Brain" of * tnikov "- a complex construction. It seems that they must also have gyrations responsible for memory, logic, evaluation of activities, actions, for knowledge, finally. But instead of the absent convolutions, the "vents" are not clear than the filled voids, "he stressed..

According to Panfilov, part of the brains of lovers of the "Russian world" is responsible for historical "facts":.

"This emptiness was filled in the Soviet time, they fill in today too. There is an anthology of Soviet myths about all kinds of wars in which Russia has won numerous victories - from the destruction of the Chinese empire in the I millennium BC to the "invincible" Russian weapons now. In this emptiness there are numerous heroes, mostly unknown, but all of them performed incredible "feats". The most important part here is the "peacekeeping" mission of the Russian people, and all the countries that were at war with the USSR are themselves to blame - they attacked first, beginning with Poland and Finland and ending with Afghanistan, Georgia, Ukraine.

In addition, the author of the book noted, "people" readily believe in the history that most inventions in all industries belong to Russians, without clarifying the discovery or referring to legends compiled by the authors of Soviet textbooks.

"The first radio, the first locomotive, the first airplane, tractor, electricity - is it not really invented by Russian scientists who undeservedly did not receive the Nobel Prize?. Like the myth of "invincible" Russian weapons. Any attempts to explain that the Kalashnikov assault rifle was created by Hugo Schmisser are perceived as hostile, "he said..

Panfilov stressed that "in * tniki" when trying to convince them, "they answer first the most simple, they say, you're lying. Then they start to think up various excuses ".

"You see," v * tnik "is a person who, cherishing, preserves confidence and also tries to convince everyone that, for example, the Soviet Union is good, that Russians are" good ".

And they have an "army and navy" that seized foreign territories, but this is not an occupation, but "the gathering of Russian lands". Here he is, "v * tonik," - noted the publicist.

As reported by the "Observer", earlier Oleg Panfilov told how the administration of the US President Donald Trump intends to curb the Russian policy of occupation and annexation of the territories of neighboring states.
