Alessandro Sallusti/Palace of shit
Massimo Giletti, live from Moscow: We are in Moscow. We are in the heart of the Russian capital. We are like in a picture, known to the whole world. Over there is the Red Square. And here you can see the walls of the Kremlin, the palace in which Vladimir Putin lives. So, Vladimir Solovyov is joining me, also here with me is Professor Vakarov [ Vasyl Vakarov?] who has an Ukrainian passport, but lives in russia.
Alessandro Sallusti: No, look Massimo, Massimo, when I learned that you were going to Moscow, I was very proud of knowing you and having a good relationship with you. I previously imagined that you would be speaking to the Russian people, instead of the Italian people. Then I realized no and I assumed you would talk to Putin, or a top offical... and you were going to make us proud of our free press.
Instead, as said more politely by Myrta [ Myrta Merlino ], I am witnessing total servilism to the worst kind of propaganda, relying on useful idiots, of which there is always a lot. Since Cacciari [ Massimo Cacciari ] at the beginning of this broadcast praised the evocative power of the Kremlin, its charm... That palace that you have behind you, and you would do well to remind those next to you, is the place where the worst crimes against humanity of the last century and of this century were organised, decided and put into practice. That’s a palace of shit!
You should have the courage to tell your interlocutors that the palace behind you is a palace of shit, because from there, communists orchestrated the worst tragedies of the last two centuries. And it saddens me to see a journalist whom I respect be called a “child”, “incompetent”, by an idiot [ Maria Zakharova ] who has no idea what she is talking about. Because we do have freedom, we know what it is and we defend it. I refuse to listen to the bullshit from these two assholes who are standing next to you. I am leaving and refusing my honorarium. I will no longer participate in this circus. Thank you.
