In the history of Russia, "absolutely nothing to be proud of," since "the amount of lies in it long ago exceeded all that is conceivable".

This opinion was expressed to the "Observer" by the Russian publicist Alexander Nevzorov.

Answering the question whether Russia could be proud of its own history, not stolen from Ukraine, he said: "I believe that in Russian history there is absolutely nothing to be proud of. Not because it is so bad, but because it fundamentally every time was altered, and the amount of lies in it long ago exceeded all that is conceivable ".

"After all, what is history? It's not science, it's raw material for ideology. Almost all Russian history was invented by Karamzin and a set of imperial historians who came after him. After the innocent pranks of Tatishchev. Therefore, we can not talk about anything here, because we understand: what fact of the so-called Russian history we take, it turns out to be a fake, "stated the publicist.

In support of his words, he told that "Alexander Nevsky was actually a servant of the horde, collected tribute from Russian cities, and those who badly paid, burned.

Or Dmitry Donskoy, who, at the direction of one Tatar khan, beat another Tatar khan, and later they told us that it was a struggle for liberation. And everything is so ".
