Russian President Vladimir Putin in his address spoke sharply about the opponents of restrictive measures related to the coronavirus. He made reference to some works of literature and to history, and recalled the days when old people and sick children were left to fend for themselves. So it was in Ancient Sparta, for example.
In Sparta weak newborns were thrown from mount Taygetos. This is likely a legend, but the Sparta, however, was built on hard formations. But then there was no other way. And now we live in the 21st century. “And frankly: those who are now offering to sacrifice people, to leave them to their fate, in fact, call for a return to savagery and barbarism,” Putin said. He added that Sparta, its orders have not helped to preserve its statehood.
Putin Also recalled the work of Jack London “Law of life”. He can’t believe that the Russians can throw their relatives in the lurch.
the President believes that the economic situation is very important, but the primary determining factor in society. People to not donate, don’t apply the law of natural selection. “Philosophy of love for the man helped to survive over the centuries, human life is priceless, coronavirus we will overcome”, – said the Russian leader.
Earlier, the Russian President made a decision concerning prolongation of regime of self-isolation on may 11. Days 6 through may 8 is declared.
