But Vishal, Piotr has spoken out about the ethnocentrism of some
Europeans. The only one that I remember specifically was Sergei
Rjabchikov, a fellow Slav, whom he called an "ethnocentrically
obsessed crank", and wrote about his "ethnocentric megalomania".
He also lamented Rjabchikov's "skill in peddling his theories on
the Internet". All justified statements, I might add. See
