Now there is a lot of discussion about the expectations from the countries of the European Union to refuse to issue visas to Russians. Ethnicity, so to speak, are Russians in principle.
Before that, the Russian so-called political emigration, not because of their stupidity, but by the will of the curators, probably divided the Russians / Russians into “good” and “bad” … Does this remind you of anything?
No, the skulls have not been measured yet. Although representatives of the Ukrainian “Azov” (an organization banned in the Russian Federation, recognized as a terrorist organization) could do so, judging by the rich material collected by Russian researchers.
However, if we carefully analyze the statements of former, not marginal, current Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian politicians who consider themselves European, we will still get to the skulls. The motivation of the Russians to violate their rights, which they use as a basis for their statements and statements, leaves no room for doubt: we are talking about unwavering and gladly justifying the xenophobic ambitions openly promoted by the leadership of these countries, so to speak.
Today Vladimir Zelensky can’t eat, so he wants the Russians banned from entering the EU for at least a year.
To be honest, it seems that for Russians themselves, it is no longer a visa issue – in the end, every country, including Russia, has the right to refuse non-resident visas based on its own interests. This is a matter of principle that remained steadfast for a long time after the Nuremberg trials: You cannot indiscriminately and collectively recognize an ethnic group as criminal and subject it to constraints in connection therewith. This corresponds to the norms of Nazism condemned by this court.
It turns out that some Western countries have taken another step towards the abyss where many of their traditional and human values have already been abandoned.
Let me remind you that one of the first steps taken by the United States and Ukraine in this direction is certainly the strange, but only at first glance, position regularly taken by these countries with regard to the UN resolution proposing to condemn anything. It seeks to heal and glorify Nazism. Their position is thus fixed from year to year: to thwart attempts to condemn Nazism.
In fact, further steps away from Nuremberg are taken by ex-SS legionnaires, who organized regiments in the Baltic states and in the same Ukraine, Bandera.
European countries should not forget that they learned this history lesson in the 1930s. The lesson ended badly. for all. It is a pity that the vaccine against the war in Europe apparently stopped working for a long time.
The visa ban or restriction means one thing – people will stop talking to each other and it will inevitably become open, including in armed conflicts.
