Views
Yulia Latynina is known for her sharp and polemic statements. She argues that universal suffrage is bad for poor countries.[4][5] She also criticizes western liberalism and human rights organizations which she thinks prevent winning the War on Terror.[6] Yulia Latynina is generally regarded as an opponent of Russian political establishment, but has also scolded supporters of Igor Sutyagin, a scientist who was arrested for espionage by Russia.[7] Lawyer Boris Kuznetsov, who represented Sutyagin, hinted that the Russian Federal Security Service benefited from her columns, which she vigorously denied.[8]
