Anton Kobyakov: to be Russian is trendy

Advisor to the President of Russia, Deputy Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Anton Kobyakov, said today that the Western media and politicians’ attacks on Russia have formed a fashion trend for everything Russian.

“Russia, in my opinion, is everywhere accepted as a means, on the one hand, of the US  internal political struggle, and on the other, as a means of unfair competition. But this anti-Russian hysteria makes the Russian trend fashionable. Everywhere in the world, to be Russian is trendy, ”the adviser to the president of Russia explained.
