Is this Brzezinski quote real?

Accepted answer

http://www.ji.lviv.ua/n14texts/brzez-pr.htm Here is an original Brzezinski speech on ceremony of giving him the status of honorary citizen of Lviv (in ukrainian). There's no word about the U.S. hegemony and no word against Russia, only about Ukraine as outpost of the West, Google translate will help you;)

The speech on accepting the status of 'honorary citizen of Lviv' 1999

"Новый мировой порядок при гегемонии США создается против России, за счет России и на обломках России."

literally: The new world order under U.S. hegemony is being created against Russia at the expense of Russia and on the ruins of Russia.

It is pretty hard to prove a negative in the social sciences (consider how many people still believe the The Protocols of the Elders of Zion hoax!) but I would bet that Brzezinski never said anything like that - this is an extremely stupid thing to say, and I don't think he is that stupid.

The "New world order" was the expression used by Bush-1 to describe the era of collaboration with Russia in the aftermath of the decline of communism, especially around the Gulf War. The excitement about the friendly relationships with Russia was quite genuine.
