Russian Upper House chair Valentina Matviyenko says the liberal project of a ‘new world order’ has failed because liberals have abandoned many of their original ideas and have become repulsive for the general public.
“Liberalism in the form that it achieved in the United States, a considerable part of the European Union, and some other Western nations, not only lacks attractiveness for a considerable part of humanity, it frightens and repulses the people,” Matviyenko said in a recent interview with International Affairs magazine. The senator added modern liberalism has lost many of the principles it was originally based on – including humanism, freedom of speech, and tolerance. She said that these principles have been replaced with the suppression of traditional values, replacing truthful information with ‘fake news’, and increasing intolerance to differing opinions, especially in politics.
