Russia is far from the civilization, and its elite degrades, it is not any more a human country it is becoming marginal, Interior Minister Vano Merabishvili said, GHN reports. About his visions Vano Merabishvili tell in his interview with Commersant The worse what happens in Russia is a degradation of its elite. Before Russia's liberal elite was far more liberal then Georgia's one.
It was far more enlightened and human than ours. But now everything is upside down it becomes marginal. In Russia liberals are getting marginal, "- Merabishvili said.
"After the Peter I all heads of the country were more liberal then the public opinion was. This was  even  to the time of the Communists. After the Communists Eltsin and Gorbatschov were more liberal then the public opinion of that time. But now the problem is not who rules the country, now the problem is in people itself. Do you remember the Khrishev's spring, how many people were liberals at that time? And during the "Perestroika as well. But now Shevchuk is a marginal. What has the elite? It dictates the style. This is its strength. No matter how many they are, the main is the quality. It creates the public opinion, "- Merabishvilil said.
