Modern Russia is for peace, but it cannot now be within the borders that were established in 1918 with the signing of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with Germany, said Vladislav Surkov, former assistant to the Russian president. This was reported by Interfax with reference to his article "The foggy future of the obscene world."

“How could it be otherwise, if it is crowded and boring, and awkward ... and it is unthinkable for Russia to remain within the borders of the obscene [Brest] peace. We are for peace. Of course. But not for obscene. For the right one, ”the material written by the former assistant to the President of the Russian Federation for the publication Actual Comments is specified.

Surkov recalled that 105 years ago, a “historic” meeting of the Central Committee (CC) of the Bolshevik Party took place.

“It approved the decision to conclude peace with Germany. This world, known as the Brest world, received in advance in the opposition press (there was one then) an additional and clearer name - obscene, ”said the former civil servant.

According to Surkov, the signed agreement led to significant territorial losses for Russia.

“According to its terms, Russia abandoned the vast territories of the Baltic States, Belarus, and Ukraine that previously belonged to it. The western border rolled back far to the east, pushing the country into the pre-Petrine, one might even say, pre-Romanov times,” Surkov noted.

In the material, Surkov also argues that with the collapse of the USSR, Russia returned in the west to the borders of February-March 1918.

"So, what is next? Definitely not silence. There is a lot of geopolitics ahead,” he concluded.

Earlier, the State Duma appreciated Surkov's words about "destabilization" in Russia.
