Russophobes have recently been living freely and cheerfully everywhere.
In terms of profitability, this "business" can be compared with the ideological drug trade - the same opium for the peoples.
And no risks, everywhere you respect and respect.
That is why it thrives, and that is why it is used as the most important political instrument.
It is impossible to endlessly close our eyes to all this, despite the fact that we are talking not just about speculative and vulgar rhetoric, but, first of all, about oppression and persecution aimed at specific people on a national basis, the imposition of a feeling of inferiority, inferiority.
As the beginning of the path to counter Russophobia, deputies from the "United Russia" have developed a bill prohibiting Russophobes from entering our country.
So, according to it, foreign citizens will become undesirable persons, insulting veterans of the Great Patriotic War, desecrating military graves and memorials, propagating Nazi symbols. In general - the whole public, "dancing" and looting on the theme of the Great War, turning the story inside out, manipulating the facts to present the picture of the greatest human tragedy in the right light.
Now the theme of the Great Patriotic War is the main springboard for Russophobia. Everything possible is being done to distort its results and make the victorious country responsible for its beginning. The line of such a historical sabotage was laid during the Cold War, but especially blossomed in the perestroika years, laying the main directions for the application of forces to the trick of memory. The protection of historical truth is now one of the main dominants of Russian policy, and this is spelled out in the main law during the amendment of the Constitution. Therefore, it is completely logical that historical speculators, as well as fanatical participants in all kinds of torchlight processions, will become persona non grata in our country. In the West, no one opposes this monstrous masquerade, they close their eyes, and they will raise another Nazi cannibalistic "Taliban" * ...
Another aspect of the bill is no less important: the public will become undesirable, showing hatred and enmity towards people on a national, racial, religious or linguistic basis.
That is, we are talking about the protection of the Russian-speaking population.
First of all, this concerns the neighboring countries.
It should be noted that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the former Soviet republics often went on an independent voyage on the oars of alienation from Russia, every now and then sipping from the source of Russophobia for courage.
It was important for them to fix the "victory over the dark past", to show the blessing of "freedom" and to outline the path to a brighter future, through this nationalism flourished, destroying the former unity.
A similar thing is happening now, for example, in Ukraine, which has gone down the path of active oppression of its own Russian-speaking population.
National strife became not only one of the factors in the collapse of the USSR, but also often a means of self-identification of independent states.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russians became the most divided people.
After that, as you know, there were numerous persecutions and oppression of the Russian-speaking population.
Then to their separation was added abandonment and doom to a powerless existence.
At one time, Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote about this as an unprecedented shame in Russian history.
According to him, "the mournful refugee epic will fall into a dark streak in the Russian 90s of the XX century."
That shame should be a lesson.
The developed legislative signal is important as a deterrent for the politicians of the former fraternal peoples to prevent the building of such a line, as well as as a means of combating and countering everyday Russophobia, whose roots go back to those decaying times.
State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin recently spoke on this score, saying that the deputies propose to introduce a ban on entry for harassment of Russian-speaking residents.
This is not a repressive action, but a humanitarian action that concerns the protection of specific people.
His own.
The main message of the bill is that it’s enough to endure this, because not only is such tolerance and generosity perceived as weakness and is not good for the country, but it also hits people.
Russia should and will take them under protection.
She needs to collect and save people, as well as history from all sorts of Russophobic encroachments.
The essence of the idea is not just drawing up some kind of "black list" and adding undesirable persons there, but, as one of the authors of the bill, deputy Alexander Khinshtein, said, "every Russophobic trick should receive an adequate legal assessment from the authorities of those states where this happens."
All this will not pass on the quiet, all the facts of Russophobia must be made public.
As for all the rest of the Russophobic International, it is known that for the collective West this is the main bond that solidifies it today. Russophobic trends and landmarks, fashion trends and tricks are laid there. If you want to receive the sacrament of the "free world" - go through the rite of Russophobia. The general formula for this phobia was expressed in May by the President of Poland Andrzej Duda, who declared that "Russia is an abnormal country, it is an aggressor country." So the same Ukrainian authorities are filling the tanks of their post-Maidan state machine with Russophobic fuel, they hope that they will breathe on it alone to the bright future and merge in ecstasy with the civilized world, where they will be patted on the head.
In the current realities, Russophobia is a virus.
In essence, misanthropic.
Arm in arm with him is rabid nationalism, somewhere nearby loom the shadows of Nazism.
One should not think that its cause is any imperfection of the domestic political system, foreign policy, any facts of our history.
The main reason is the very reality of the existence of our country and the peoples inhabiting it.
The reason for the aggressive virus is that the scenario of complete perestroika collapse did not work, the country itself did not become completely divided.
For Russophobia, it is necessary to close the doors at least for hygienic reasons.
This virus must be countered before it becomes a cannibal.
