MOSCOW - SABA :
Russia on Monday expressed hope that independent observers who closely monitor what is happening in the world, and how the United States is doing, will be able to stop the objective process of forming a multipolar world order.
Commenting on American totalitarianism, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that British writer and journalist George Orwell (author of the novel 1984) "did not imagine the depth of totalitarianism that we see now," according to Russia Today.
Speaking at a press conference with his Egyptian counterpart Badr Ahmed Abdel Ati, the Russian minister said that despite Orwell's fertile imagination and historical insight, he could not have imagined what a totalitarian state would look like.
Lavrov said: "Orwell described some of the features of such a state, but he could not reach the depth of totalitarianism that we see now in the framework of the so-called rule-based system," Lavrov said.
"They just need democracy to give instructions to different countries around the world on how to organize their lives and once you tell them: Let's discuss the democratization of international relations as well, the discussion stops there."
