“This is not democracy, this is something else, because democracy is a procedure through which a person can cast their vote. What we see in America is some kind of terrible bully that pits people against each other, corners them and doesn’t give them a chance to express their point of view. And if they express it, then they begin to be annulled, persecuted and persecuted,” – said Zakharova.
He also hoped that Americans would overcome the crisis in their country.
