Russian writer-satirist Viktor Shenderovich told how Russia voluntarily made itself an outcast state.
This Shenderovich explained in an interview with "Echo of Moscow".
According to the satirist, a clear proof that Russians have become outcasts is that Moldovan President Igor Dodon became the only high-ranking guest at the Moscow parade in honor of May 9.
Shenderovich notes that Russians are still somewhat proud and hallucinate that Russia is some great country, although in fact it is "on the road to Ethiopia, at the level of Venezuela".
The writer believes that the Russians themselves have driven themselves into outcasts, because if millions of people are ready to associate themselves with Putin, then they will not have other allies except Dodon.
