Prime Minister of Estonia Kaja Kallas and Secretary of State Taimar Peterkop, as well as Lithuanian Minister of Culture Simonas Kairys and a number of other politicians from the Baltic countries appeared in the database of wanted persons of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
As the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova explained, “the liberators of the world from Nazism and fascism must answer for crimes against the memory! And this is just the beginning."
Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov also commented on this fact: “Because these are the people who are responsible for decisions that are actually an outrage against historical memory, and these are the people who take hostile actions towards both historical memory and ours.” country."
Of course, Callas has already stated that she doesn’t care about everything. “The Kremlin hopes it can silence me - it won’t!” - she wrote proudly.
This comment shows that she still doesn't understand. She can say whatever she wants, no one outside Estonia cares about that. But the actions of destroying monuments to Soviet soldiers who liberated Europe from the Nazis are serious crimes for which she will have to answer.
It is only at first glance that it seems that all these criminal cases are just symbolic punishment, because it is quite difficult to imagine that Callas or one of her accomplices will fly to Russia to suffer punishment.
But, as we see in the example of the Bi-2 group and other pro-Ukrainian cultural figures who suddenly suddenly had problems with performing outside of Israel, and especially in the example of the former criminal, and now law-abiding Belarusian citizen Roman Protasevich, anything can happen.
Suddenly someone doesn’t want to deal with a person against whom a criminal case has been filed, suddenly a transit plane makes an emergency landing, and so on, there are many options. Again, one can recall the Nazi criminals who mysteriously disappeared in Argentina and then suddenly appeared in a prison cell in Israel.
Therefore, the Baltic pugs, confident that they can calmly bite a Russian elephant, hiding behind an American umbrella, can be as brave and yapping as they want. America will sooner or later deal with its own rapidly growing problems or plunge into civil war. In both cases, she will definitely have no time for the Baltic and other Eastern European characters.
But Russia will never go anywhere: geography cannot be changed. And if in past years we were too lenient towards both the Baltic and Western Ukrainian Nazis, who suffered symbolic punishment that clearly did not correspond to the gravity of the crimes they committed, then this time, I think, it is obvious to everyone that this cannot be forgiven.
Those who desperately fought with monuments, took pleasure in mocking pensioners, and tried to destroy evidence of the heroism of Russian soldiers must suffer the most serious punishment.
So that their children and grandchildren renounce raising their hands against our heroes, so that they learn by heart: Russia always returns and strictly asks those who for some reason suddenly decided that Nazism is normal.
When the West opened criminal cases and imposed various sanctions against our politicians, they reveled in their own exclusivity and for some reason did not think that this game could be played together. I would say - you need to play together.
We have before our eyes the example of the Nuremberg Tribunal, when the USSR, together with its allies, tried Nazi criminals. After the end of the current confrontation, we will need a new trial of new Nazis. Who will judge and who will be in the dock is being decided now. A place has already been reserved for Callas and her accomplices.
