Harsh attack on Italy by Vladimir Solovyev , Russian TV journalist, tycoon friend of Putin and owner of real estate also in Sardinia, in Arzachena.
"I wonder if in Milan they remember how they kissed the hands of Russian soldiers" he articulated, in no uncertain terms, during a live broadcast.
The oligarch does not like the sanctions that the West has imposed on Russia and its millionaires. And his reference is to Suvorov's Italian campaign in northern Italy between April and September 1799, when the Russian general, at the head of the Russo-Austrian army, defeated the French army forcing it to leave Milan.
“If we are serious – his words – if we really understand what is at stake, then let the bastards tremble. Then there will be another crossing of the Alps if necessary . Think of the monument to Suvorov, and who knows if in Milan they remember how they kissed the hands of Russian soldiers . If you get rude to us, you bastards, you must tremble. The Russians start slowly, but then they go fast».
Putin had already brought Italy into question during his last speech to the Russian Federal Assembly. «Russia knows how to be a friend and keep its word – he underlined – it will not disappoint anyone and will always support its partners in difficult situations. This is demonstrated by our help to European countries, such as Italy, during the most difficult moment of the Covid pandemic, exactly as we are going to help in the earthquake zones".
