Y'know, over on Lemmygrad, a lib interloper asked if this was a legitimate quote from the man of steel himself and I had to dig up a Russian-language book (there is no english translation afaik) and to stumble my way through the cyrillic to find the source for this.
did you find it? your question mark is throwing me off
Whoops, sorry! Yep I did.
This quote is according to Molotov's recollection. From Сто сорок бесед с Молотовым (140 Conversations with Molotov) by Felix Chuev:
Being able to read Cyrillic helps a lot, the text is similar enough to polish that I can fully understand it.

learning Russian to read original sources

Or, regrettably, a title for a really insufferable shitlib opinion piece.
Fish hook theory confirmed.
