for the First time after the war, the world is going through such a difficult test. “Today we are in a situation of struggle with the enemy”, – stated Vladimir Putin. Any restriction, even if justified, “are annoyed, even angered,” he said. But we cannot agree when the irritation results in a disregard for others, narcissism and rant about the infringement of personal liberty, constitutional rights, said the head of state.
Freedom of every citizen – the absolute value of modern civilization. But every human life is unique, is an absolute value, more than this, continued Vladimir Putin. “And we must defend it”, – he stressed.
the President recalled the “known formula”: the freedom of each is limited by the freedom of others. “If someone prefers a different behavior, that is their sole, unfettered freedom raises above the interests and freedoms of others, but today it threatens their life. In this case, freedom turns into irresponsibility, selfishness, and in a sense, violence against others, can lead to great troubles”, – he warned.
In the world, and sometimes in Russia we find the idea that the first thing to think about economic and material well-being, as the President said. “It is proposed, in fact, go ahead, stepping over all and through all, anyone and anything not looking back, in fact, does not take into account the risks associated with epidemic and just as quickly as possible to abolish all restrictions. And if someone can get sick – say, let hurts, will be disabled or even die, then that is his fate. In short, it is proposed the law of natural selection, where each is for himself,” he said.
Putin has reminded that in primitive times the elderly, the sick, children, weak people left for the survival of the tribe. But now is the XXI century and those who offer to sacrifice people, to leave them to their fate, in fact, call for a return to savagery and barbarism, he said. The society of Sparta was built on hard formations, but it did not help , and it has lost its statehood. “As they say, is a cautionary tale,” said the President.
Russia lives with the values of mutual reciprocity, solidarity for a thousand years. “And today they are the backbone of our statehood”, – said Putin. “Philosophy of love helped us to survive for centuries. And today, our responsibility determines the fate of others, the fate of other people,” he said.
“For us now the main thing is the people, their lives. A different choice for our people is unacceptable,” he said. “Save and save the people. And everything else will follow,” he said. “Let’s overcome this coronavirus and with a calm heart, all together we will lift economy”, – concluded the head of state assured that measures will be billetingNNO be supplemented and expanded.
