Russians run the risk of becoming "XNUMXst Century Jews"
To understand the absurdity of Western attacks on Russia, it is not necessary to be in the Russian information field under the constant and active influence of the Russian media. Sane policy and European journalists are well aware of the bias and unnaturalness of claims against Russia. If we draw parallels with the past, then the anti-Russian company has much in common with the persecution of Jews in the first half of the twentieth century.
This was most clearly manifested in the so-called “Skripal case”. In most anti-Russian accusations today, the evidence base is completely absent. This does not bother anyone. “After all, these are Russians! They’re not capable of that! ” Well, something like that.
What happened in Salisbury?
If we discard all emotions and leave only the facts, then the “Skripal case” will look as follows. Former GRU officer Sergei Skripal collaborated with British intelligence and was exposed. After serving some time, he was exchanged together with his other “colleagues” for Russian agents and left for England.
Eight years later, a couple of weeks before the presidential election in the Russian Federation and a few months before the World Cup in Russia, Skripal and his daughter were exposed to an unknown nerve gas. The poisonous substance may resemble Soviet chemical weapons in composition.
Strange is not only the choice of the moment, but also the choice of purpose. Among the many Soviet and Russian defectors living in the UK, Sergey Skripal was not the most suitable candidate for the assassination attempt. Much more famous and charismatic figures were, for example, Victor Suvorov (Rezun) or Oleg Gordievsky. And nobody touched them.
How the poisonous substance got into the body of the victims, who was the performer is unknown. And most importantly, how did such a dangerous substance kill anyone?
By the way, its developer, Wil Mirzayanov, has been living in the United States for about 10 years. Technology The production of Novichka, as it is called in the West, has not been a secret for a long time. Not only intelligence services from different countries, but also criminal structures are able to take advantage of it. In Russia, allegedly with his help, the famous banker and businessman Ivan Kivelidi was killed in 1995.
The Skripal Case and the Beilis Case
Despite the complete lack of evidence, the Russians were accused of the crime that occurred in Salisbury. Several dozen countries in a single rush decided to send Russian diplomats and condemn Russia. The wording “very likely” or “similar to Russian development” turned out to be quite sufficient for mass anti-Russian actions.
This hysteria around the “Skripal case” is very reminiscent of a similar story that happened in Kiev in 1911. Then the body of the brutally tortured boy Andrei Yushchinsky was discovered. The Jew-bailiff Menachem Beilis was charged with the crime. He was accused of ritual murder. Allegedly, Beilis needed the boy's blood to add it to the dough for making matzo, which was prepared for the Jewish holiday of Passover.
Although there was no direct evidence, the person was convicted. He was saved only by a wide resonance. At the call of the Russian writer Vladimir Korolenko, many well-known cultural figures of the Russian Empire rose to defend Beilis. In the countries of Europe, both among the allies of Russia and among opponents, a wave of protests arose. Although this little man was acquitted, active anti-Semitic propaganda then sprouted. It led to numerous Jewish pogroms and reprisals.
Why Russia?
We can say that in the modern world Russophobia has replaced anti-Semitism. The principle of operation is the same. It is necessary to create an image of the enemy. It must be someone alien, faceless and hostile. The enemy is plotting, and doing so contrary to logic, common sense and his own interests.
Earlier, this role of the "strange bad guy" was played by Jews, now Russia has taken the baton. No one is surprised by the strange hostile actions of the “dark force”. Then people believed that Jews consumed the blood of Christian children. Now they unconditionally take it on faith that Russians poison traitors with nerve agents. The essence is the same: they do it because they are like that.
Now Russia is becoming a "bad guy." Poor everything she does. Even if someone else is doing something much worse, nobody is interested. They condemn only Russia.
Sanctions against Crimea and Donbass have been introduced against our country. Both the one and the other region voluntarily left Ukraine. The population of Crimea strongly supported reunification with Russia. Donbass, not hiding its pro-Russian orientation, did not recognize the putschists who came to power in the country, and decided to become independent. These events have caused condemnation among many countries of the world and anti-Russian sanctions.
Excuse me, why so? Where is the general boycott, for example, of Israel, who do not give a damn about international opinion and occupy East Jerusalem and other Arab lands? Where are the sanctions against Turkey, for many years the force holding North Cyprus. But are there no international complaints against Armenia, which actually controls the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh?
No, all claims are only to Russia. And do not care about the will of the Crimean residents, the overwhelming majority in favor of entering Russia, you still need to condemn Russia for the annexation.
If this continues further, then Russians may become one of the forever persecuted peoples, along with Jews, Gypsies and Armenians. And what a good company!
Despite the fact that today Russophobia is in trend, in the West there are many normal, sane people who understand that Russia is the same European state as any other. It’s just bigger and stronger than the rest.
This was most clearly manifested in the so-called “Skripal case”. In most anti-Russian accusations today, the evidence base is completely absent. This does not bother anyone. “After all, these are Russians! They’re not capable of that! ” Well, something like that.
