“Sometimes we ask ourselves: in countries with large populations and strong democratic traditions, is there really no one capable of representing the various spheres of power with dignity, professionalism and wisdom?” Maria Zakharova was quoted as saying by the official TASS agency . “The problem could be related to the crisis of democratic democracy, because this ‘outcome’ has nothing to do with the direct election of the British,” she said of Liz Truss.
