Leonid Slutsky spoke about the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, which took place in Paris.
According to the leader of the LDPR, this event speaks of the decline of Western civilization.
Slutsky made this statement live on the Rossiya 24 TV channel.
Let us recall that the opening ceremony took place on July 26. During the event, a parody of the famous painting "The Last Supper" was shown, in which members of the banned LGBT* movement and transvestites participated.
What was seen outraged many social media users and did not go unnoticed by the politician.
This is truly the collapse of Western civilization, Slutsky emphasized.
He called for a comparison of how the Olympic Games were held in the past, citing the Sochi Olympics as an example.
And what is happening now in the capital of France only points to the degradation and problems in the European community.
Slutskiy also recalled that the organizers apologized for the fact that they could have hurt someone's feelings. However, in his opinion, it is too late for this, since they will not compensate for what people around the world saw.
