Владимир Мединский - Vladimir Medinsky

Views

Medinsky has been described as a "nationalist enamoured of classicism and traditional values.
Vladimir Medinsky supports the removal of Vladimir Lenin's body from the Lenin's Mausoleum to bury it.
Medinsky believes that Stalin statues should be erected in places where the majority of local people are in favor.
In 2013, Medinsky's Culture Ministry proposed an updated cultural policy blueprint. Calling for "a rejection of the principles of tolerance and multiculturalism", it emphasizes Russian "traditional values" and cautions against "pseudo-art" that may be at variance with those values.
In 2015, Medinsky called for the creation of a Russian "patriotic Internet" to combat Western ideas, adding that those who are against Russia are against the truth.
Medinsky's father was one of the Chernobyl liquidators.
