Putin & his big dream: The rule of thumb with hypersonic missiles
No Comments
As a Leningrad street boy, but also as a KGB secret service agent, Putin must have become familiar with the myth of the double murderer Raskolnikov early on. Both believe that they are solely committed to the maxims of a higher idea – regardless of morality.
Important men in history are allowed to kill and have them killed, said Dostoyevsky’s hero Raskolnikov in Vladimir Putin’s hometown of St. Petersburg. Their successes prove these men right, nobody asks the victors about their morals. They allow people to kill or kill themselves – in the interest of the state or for a “higher” idea, as pursued by Napoleon.
