Russian MP declares learning English a "creeping surrender to the West" Deputy State Duma Alexei Zhurlev said on NTV that the study of foreign languages ​​allegedly threatens national sovereignty. In his opinion, along with English, foreign culture, values ​​and geopolitical guidelines are imposed on children. "I traveled all over Europe and actually didn't speak a word of English. He only spoke Russian," boasted Zhurlev. So the question is: if the West is so dangerous, why did Zhurlev travel all over Europe? Apparently, he went to check how far this "creeping submission" had progressed. And most importantly, he didn't give up: not a single word in English!
