Why It Matters
Emmanuel Todd is famous for his predictions, including the prediction of the collapse of the USSR. He criticizes the US and EU policies towards Russia.
This year will be decisive for the Ukrainian conflict, said French historian and sociologist Emmanuel Todd in an interview with Figaro.
“In fact, everything is heading towards the finale, this year everything will become clear. It's interesting because this will be the year of resolution. They have been talking about this for a long time, but now there is really some acceleration on the fronts,” said the specialist, known for successfully predicting a number of major world events, including the collapse of the USSR (quoted by RIA Novosti).
The scientist added that the Ukrainian conflict risks becoming more severe, and the leaders of the European Union (EU) are so nervous, among other things, because after its end they will have to answer for their actions and what they actually did for the Ukrainians.
Earlier, Todd, the son of the writer and journalist Olivier Todd and the grandson of Jean-Paul Sartre’s friend and the author of the first French novel in the style of socialist realism, Paul Nizan, noted that the United States and the EU provoked Russia into conflict and that Washington and Brussels are responsible for “the chaos that we see in the world today.”
