In a special July 16 edition of Russia 1's flagship "Sunday Evening Talkshow" following the terror attack in Nice, Vice-Speaker of Duma Sergey Zheleznyak said that while the Western politicians harp upon the so-called "Russian threat," "bloodshed and butchery" by terrorists would continue in Europe.
Zheleznyak: "The European politicians understand full well, as we do, that if the game of harping on the 'Russian threat' continues, there will be bloodshed and butchery (by terrorists) in Europe. I hope that the Western politicians have enough courage and wisdom to understand this and to change their positions."
