'The Enemy Is Dead': Russia Reacts to U.S. Senator John McCain's Passing



— Oleg Morozov, member of the Federation Council’s Foreign Affairs Committee:
“The enemy is dead… May the Lord accept his dark soul and determine its future.”
“He was good in his hatred toward Russia. He was the symbol of contemporary overt anti-Russian thinking.”
“Give him credit for his honest enmity, his honest hatred and intransigence. Others play a double game. He said what he thought.”

— Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of the Kremlin-run RT news network:
“As a good Christian, I wish all the staunch enemies of my motherland peace and quiet. In the afterlife, of course.”

— Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov:
“He stood out among American politicians for his inexplicable and incomprehensible resentment of Russia. He didn’t like the very fact of its existence.”

— Konstantin Kosachev, chairman of the Federation Council’s Foreign Affairs Committee:
“His only ideology was to ‘defend your own and attack others,’ where the only criterion was loyalty to America and American interests, and not the criteria of peace, good and justice.”
