On laying a wreath at Denikin’s grave in Moscow, May 24, 2009. James Marson, “Putin to the West: Hands off Ukraine” in Time Magazine, May 25, 2009.

[Anton Denikin, in his diary] “has a discussion there about Great and Little Russia, Ukraine. He says that no one should be allowed to interfere in relations between us; this has always been only Russia’s business.” (Обязательно прочитайте! Там у него есть рассуждения о большой и малой России, Украине. Он говорит, что никому не должно быть позволено вмешиваться в отношения между нами, это всегда было делом самой России!)
