Russian President Vladimir Putin has drawn a parallel between the Soviet
Union and the present-day US and EU, accusing them of imposing their
own political systems on other countries.
Speaking at a plenary
session of the Valdai Discussion Club in Sochi on Thursday, the
president suggested that political systems which force their own values
on others don't last.
"The Soviet Union once erred by
imposing its system. Then, the United States has taken up that baton.
The EU has also distinguished itself," Putin said.
"A
nation that respects its own tradition, as a rule, does not encroach on
the traditions of others," the Russian president concluded.
