Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s statement and answers to media questions at a joint news conference following talks with Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Egyptian Expatriates Badr Abdelatty, Moscow, September 16, 2024.

Question: What do you think about the latest US sanctions on Russian news outlets, including the RT television channel? What can you say about US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s call to treat RT as an intelligence agency? This is a serious accusation.

Sergey Lavrov: Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov and Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, as well as many other officials and politicians, have commented on this matter. I’m not going to go over it again.

I can only add that George Orwell had rich imagination and great historical foresight. However, even he was unable to envision what a totalitarian state would actually look like. He outlined some of its attributes, but was unable to delve into the depth of the totalitarianism we are witnessing today under the “rules-based order.” I have nothing else to add to that. The leaders in Washington suppress dissent and have upstaged even Orwell and his vision. This is unadulterated totalitarianism. McCarthyism was just a child’s play by comparison.

I hope independent observers who are closely watching international developments and the way the United States and its satellites are doing everything possible, impossible, and unimaginable to stop the objective process of forming a multipolar, just, and democratic world order are clear about that. They need democracy only to tell the countries how to go about their lives. But as soon as you propose discussing the democratisation of international relations, they clam up. It’s all about the rules-based order. But all of that is doomed. Anyone can clearly see that. They are historically doomed. The course of history is accelerating.
