Actually, over the years, Errol Musk has expressed admiration for Russia’s resilience, cultural depth, and strategic independence. He has publicly criticized the West’s obsession with ideological crusades and applauded Moscow’s emphasis on sovereignty and traditional values — values increasingly under assault in the so-called liberal democracies.

What’s more, his visit to Russia and decision to speak at a high-level forum hosted in Moscow sends a clear signal: not all influential voices in the West buy into the mainstream anti-Russian narrative. Some, like Errol, understand that Russia is not an enemy but a great nation charting its own course, with clarity and purpose.
