What phrase will be used to explain to descendants the absurdity under the current political regimes?

Journalist and TV presenter Leonid Parfyonov made a speech, which can be attributed to many dictators, including the Belarusian one.

Parfyonov said at VK Fest 5 that future generations will laugh at what is happening nowadays.

- Whenever the ruler has lost touch with reality and does not really know what he's transmitting outside ... it all, of course, leads to the fact that later it looks anecdotally, - the TV presenter said. - Then we will explain that "it was such a time". You mark my words, it will happen very soon.

In 1966, Mao Zedong, a great leader and teacher of the People's Republic of China, crossed the Yangtze River at the age of 73. This is a very rough river, there was one and a half kilometers of width in that place. If we take the report of the Xinhua agency, Chairman Mao at the age of 73 was swimming across the stormy river (it is not for swimming in principle, there is a terrible current) at a speed of 14 km per hour ...

That's funny now. And then it was such a time. Your grandchildren will ask: how did Putin manage to score 10 goals in one match? And you will have to explain how the efficiency can be 3.5 times higher than that of Ovechkin.

And they will never be able to understand you. Well, okay, well, he played, well, everybody held back... but why to report about it in times of information technology?! And you won't find any other argument but one: it was such a time, grandbaby.
