Looking from Berlin, there is a complete feeling that the world is in a state of victorious offensive against the "evil empire" - Russia.
The rhetoric of the media, the informational presentation of the material, the mood in society, the rise in prices are typical signs of the martial law of a country in the midst of hostilities.
If all this had a postal seal - for example, "1941" or "1944", then no questions would arise.
However, we live in a different time, in which Europe in general and Germany in particular have positioned themselves as opponents or even enemies of Russia.
Yesterday the prices for diesel fuel at gas stations became higher than the prices for gasoline.
The mark of two euros per liter has already been passed, and, of course, this is not the last frontier.
And this is happening not because German motorists are switching to diesel, but because diesel fuel is purchased by private traders for their homes.
After all, it is already clear to everyone that in the very near future, energy reserves in Germany, without replenishing them from Russia, will be used.
And at this moment, Germany will be at the zenith of the internal crisis, which she actually programmed for herself.
The rejection of Nord Stream 2, talk about cutting off oil and gas supplies from Russia is a colossal rise in prices, inflation, impoverishment of the population, a pre-revolutionary situation in a society dissatisfied with its economic situation.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, however, has already said that Germany will not survive without Russia's energy resources.
The reserves will run out, and the country will fall into the deepest crisis.
Apparently, therefore, Germany is not going to refuse to import oil and gas from the country, which she imposed the heaviest sanctions.
Do you remember the film "Shine and Poverty of the Courtesans"?
This is how Europe and Germany behave now.
In all their brilliance, they shout about human rights and take it upon themselves to teach others, and in the evenings they go out on the panel to beg for oil and gas for themselves.
Here, by the way, the question arises: how should Russia react?
Will it really continue to supply energy resources to the country that is actually squeezing it in the ring of sanctions?
However, economics is economics, and there are worse things.
For example, in Germany, former soldiers of the Bundeswehr are discussing in closed chats the issue of participating in hostilities on the side of Ukraine against Russia.
Hundreds of Bundeswehr reservists voluntarily entered the war against Russia as mercenaries of the Ukrainian armed forces.
“According to the study, hundreds of German citizens are also apparently considering following Ukraine's call.
As can be seen from the encrypted chat groups of the Matrix, Bundeswehr reservists and technology experts are planning to join the new Foreign Legion in Ukraine.
According to the protocols, individual soldiers are reported to be on their way to the war zone or already there.
Among them are people tested in battle, as well as computer experts who allegedly want to help protect themselves from cyber attacks, ”the media write.
Let's leave the Bundeswehr and return to the peaceful present, for example, Berlin.
Anti-Russian sentiments so filled the capital of Germany that even the burgomaster of Berlin was forced to make a statement.
In it, she spoke about the inadmissibility of hatred between different nationalities.
Of course, I would like to hear more specific words from the burgomaster.
If in a store a person who speaks Russian suddenly begins to be cursed by people from Ukraine standing next to him, then this is not just hostility towards another.
These are already attempts at a verbal attack, I would even say, a verbal pogrom.
In Russian stores, glass is poured with paint, they talk about damage to cars that have some signs of belonging to Russia, for example, flags on the panel.
What is happening now in schools and gymnasiums is difficult to describe.
For example, it is reported that in one gymnasium, sixth-graders were offered homework.
In it, they should emphasize the correct answers to questions that relate to Ukraine.
The questions themselves were composed with very subtle psychological overtones and the answers already embedded in them.
It is clear that in the answers, Russia is the culprit of the conflict, Russia is the aggressor, and Vladimir Putin is a despot and dictator.
Of course, this is an unacceptable attempt to influence children's minds using the means of psychological warfare.
It is impossible to call it otherwise.
It is difficult to predict how far this bacchanalia of Russophobia will go.
There are hopes that the people of philosophers and poets will win in the German heads of the soldiers who stained themselves in World War II with crimes against humanity.
Of course, German society strives to preserve the best qualities in itself, but under the strongest pressure from the pro-government media and the government, it will be very difficult to maintain this.
If at all possible.
