Vladimir Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, made a series of statements asserting the superiority of Russian democracy, claiming it to be the best in the world. This comes as Russia faces criticism from various quarters about its democratic processes. Peskov's comments were echoed across different platforms, emphasizing that Russia will no longer tolerate criticism of its democracy and aims to improve it further. Additionally, Peskov's family's international ties were highlighted, including property ownership in the U.S. and France, and living arrangements in England, contrasting his nationalistic statements. Notably, Peskov's wife Tatiana Navka is a U.S. citizen, his daughter and ex-wife own apartments in France, his son Nikolai Choles has lived most of his life in England, and Peskov's other daughter is also a U.S. resident. The Kremlin also made broader claims about moving towards a more equitable world order, criticizing the unipolar world dominated by Western powers and advocating for a polycentric world order. These statements coincide with Putin's assertion that the U.S. does not rule the world and his call for a world where all people have equal opportunities.
