Anna Churinova, a 2nd year student of Institute of Sectoral Management, RANEPA, said: “The speaker spoke about the support of friendly relations between the USSR and the Union republics. Now, according to her, Russia is considered an empire and a colonizer, although this is not true. All Union Republics were on an equal footing with the RSFSR. Unfortunately, due to the collapse of the USSR, conflicts in the Middle South-East (Georgia/Armenia/Azerbaijan) have escalated. I was pleased with the warm attitude of the speaker to the USSR and Russia. At the lecture, she recalled her childhood and youth spent as part of the Union.”
