MOSCOW, April 30. /TASS/. A nuclear apocalypse is indeed possible and those who don’t realize it are either dreamers or fools, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said at the "Knowledge. First" educational marathon.

According to him, the European Union is currently being led by idiots who are destroying what was built over decades.

TASS has gathered the key points from what Medvedev said.

The way Moscow’s relations with Western countries are developing shows that Emperor Alexander III was right in what he said about Russia’s allies: "We used to look at our relations with neighbors, the Western world through rose-colored glasses. <...> Alexander III was right when he said that Russia only has two allies - and you must remember that he was talking about the army and the navy."

The Europeans desire the collapse of the Russian state: "They don’t understand much of what we say; they don’t want to hear us, and, frankly speaking, they desire the collapse of our state."
