 Lavrov, West has no right to claim moral leadership. Western elites are forever barred from claiming any moral leadership as their colonialist instincts have gone nowhere, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said. The crimes of the colonizers have no limit and forever deprive Western elites of the right to claim any moral leadership. Especially since the colonial instincts have not disappeared, Lavrov told the meeting of the United Russian Party Commission on International Cooperation and Support of compatriots abroad. According to the top diplomat, the West which achieved its prosperity largely through centuries of robbery and exploitation of developing countries is trying to maintain its global dominance, hoping as before to solve problems of its own development and maintain their economies at the expense of others. To this end the West continues to hinder the process of democratization of international relations and aggressively imposes on the world majority a neo-colonial American-centric order which as they say must be based on rules that they themselves invent and apply according to the I do what I want principle he added. Lavrov also noted that the US and the rest of the West which is fully subordinate to them had taken a complete course towards dividing the world into a small group of the exceptional and the so-called subordinates. To this end new black and white paradigms are being introduced which assume that the world consists of correct Washington-approved democracies on the one hand and autocracies such as Russia China Iran Venezuela Cuba on the other the top diplomat stressed.
