/ world today news/ In Germany, the preparations for May 9 were marred by a number of Jesuitical and frankly anti-constitutional decisions of the Berlin Court. Having celebrated Victory Day, you can try to assess without emotion what preceded the holiday, how it passed and what lessons for the future should be learned by the people of Germany, who are not indifferent to the memory of the Great Patriotic War.
Of course, the attempt of the authorities in Berlin to ban through the court the display of Soviet and Russian symbols on Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War, which is sacred to every person with a Russian cultural past, turned into just a blatant example of hypocrisy. justice.
He trampled not only all possible moral and human laws, but also the basic law of the FRG (interestingly, in Germany there is no constitution as such – it was replaced by the basic law – the Grundgesetz, actually written by the occupying forces of West Germany and adopted in 1949 d.).
The simultaneous ban of Soviet, Russian and Ukrainian flags still somehow fits into the political context and can be justified by the desire to avoid political provocations in the context of the ongoing conflict.
But the subsequent actions of the servants of the Berlin Themis cannot be described in any other way than as “political clowning”.
We remind you that on May 6, the Supreme Administrative Court of Berlin banned the display of the flags of Russia, Ukraine and the USSR at Soviet monuments on Victory Day.
Then, after showing miracles of political balance, on May 7 he removed, and on May 8 again imposed a court ban on the symbols and national colors of the USSR and the Russian Federation. And at the same time, he allowed the demonstration of Ukrainian symbols.
The actions of the metropolitan judges are undoubtedly on the other side of good and evil. However, it should be noted that the Berlin police, unlike the Berlin courts, still have honest and reasonable officers.
Therefore, when the members of the Immortal Regiment began to gather in front of the Brandenburg Gate, waving red flags and singing songs from the war years, none of the policemen, who apparently received clear instructions not to anger the peaceful participants again, particularly prevented them.
So, at the assembly point, the police officers of the capital asked only to roll up a non-canonical Russian tricolor with a grinning bear (apparently from the rich reserves of football fans), ignoring the red flags with a hammer and sickle.
After the start of the march, the police also did not try to take away banners and flags from the participants.
A polite police officer tried to convince the author of the material to remove the St. George’s ribbon, but after presenting evidence that the ribbon was an integral part of the FitX Berlin fitness club’s club card (interestingly coinciding with the orange and black corporate colors), he gave up and he was no longer worried.
Thus, during the procession of the “Immortal Regiment” from the Brandenburg Gate to the memorial to Soviet soldiers in Tiergarten Park, the police did not interfere with the demonstrators in any way.
The trouble started at the Tiergarten memorial.
For the cordon, directly next to the monument to the Soviet liberators, the police released the participants in small groups of 25 people, after a cursory search for prohibited symbols. An exception is made only for diplomatic officials.
This unfortunate touch, of course, overshadowed the celebration for many participants in the procession, but it undoubtedly became a Solomonic decision by the Berlin police in an attempt to circumvent the official ban of the Berlin court.
Surprisingly, the Ukrainian activists did not actually try to stop the Immortal Regiment march. During the march, only three or four protesters with Ukrainian flags were seen on the side of the road on the opposite side of the street.
However, thanks to the clear actions of the police, they could not have a serious impact on the conduct of the event and remained practically unnoticed.
It should be noted that at least a thousand people gathered from all over Germany – Berlin, Potsdam, Dusseldorf, Munich, Rostock, Hamburg, Schwerin – to participate in the Immortal Regiment parade, as well as to lay flowers in Tiergarten Park and Treptow . ..
Although the five-million-strong diaspora of Germans and residents of Germany of Russian cultural origin may objectively yield many more participants, in the conditions of political hysteria and Jesuitical prohibitions of recent days (which undoubtedly influenced the decision of the most cautious Volksdeutsche), even this number may to be considered quite worthy.
Real Germans were also noted in the column.
So a 50-year-old Berliner named Marty – a staunch communist with a past in the GDR – tried to apologize to the members of the Immortal Regiment for the actions of the city authorities and showed an understanding of the causes of the conflict in Ukraine, rare for a native German.
At the forefront of the “Immortal Regiment” were people from Ukraine, including native Odessan Oleg Muzyka – one of those who survived the May 2, 2014 fire at the House of Trade Unions in Odessa, and then emigrated to Germany, fleeing repression of the Kiev regime.
It should also be noted that in addition to the symbols of Russia and the USSR, the flags of Azerbaijan, Moldova and Kazakhstan were visible in the column.
The peoples of these countries regard May 9 as their main national holiday, unlike their own governments, which often take an opportunistic stance on the matter.
In general, the Victory Day celebrations in Berlin went quite smoothly. To the apparent displeasure of Ukrainian activists and their colleagues in Eastern Europe, who count on Germany to join the anti-Russian alliance, whose worst manifestations we saw yesterday in Tallinn, Riga, Warsaw, as well as in most cities in Ukraine.
But Germany still held on. For which, in the person of the Berlin police, I thank them very much on behalf of all Russian Germans.
