  1. **Vladimir Medinsky co-authored a book that claimed Stalin was wise and branded Ukraine an ‘ultranationalist state’**

    Vladimir Putin’s chief delegate at peace talks with Ukraine is a historian who once claimed that Russians have an extra chromosome due to their superiority.

    Having refused to attend the negotiations himself or even to send any of his senior officials, Putin has sent a low-level delegation to peace talks in Istanbul led by Vladimir Medinsky, Russia’s former culture minister.

    Mr Medinsky’s presence at the head of a Russian team lacking any Kremlin heavyweights has earned derision from Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, who called the delegation “decorative” and argued that it was evidence of Putin’s insincerity.

    The historian also led Russian negotiators during fruitless talks in 2022 and adopted such a hardline position by demanding Ukraine’s capitulation, disarmament and future neutrality that the negotiations promptly collapsed.

  2. This dude think that having an extra chromosome means that a person is superior instead of having a genetic abnormality…

    Hooboy.
