The United States has imposed constraints on freedom of access to information which are astonishing. Which in fact go beyond what was the case in post-Stalin Soviet Russia. It's a remarkable fact.

Take the United States today. It is living under a kind of totalitarian culture which has never existed in my lifetime, and is much worse in many ways than the Soviet Union before Gorbachev. Go back to the 1970s, people in the Soviet Russia could access BBC, Voice of America, German television, if they wanted to find out the news. If today, in the United States, you want to find out what [Sergei] Lavrov of Russia is saying, can't do it, it's barred. Americans are not permitted to hear what Russians are saying. Can't get Russian television, can't access Russian sources.
