/View.info/ There is a new addition to the list of enemies. Norway was also added to the official list of countries pursuing a hostile policy towards Russian diplomats. From now on, the Scandinavian kingdom has a “ceiling” of employees on the territory of the embassy and consulates – only 27 people. Russia took this step after the expulsion of 15 Russian diplomats from the country.
The first blacklist
Let’s start with the fact that Russia has two black lists of unfriendly countries. The first was identified at the beginning of the WWI and included the flagships of the Anglo-Saxon world: the USA, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, their mankurts in Europe such as Albania, as well as small offshore states such as Liechtenstein. Total – 49 countries.
Even Micronesia, an archipelago of many islands whose total area does not exceed the size of Moscow, was included in the list. However, since Micronesia is completely dependent on outside powers, the US often uses it to gain “weight” in UN voting.
For example, when Russia submitted to the UN General Assembly a resolution to combat the glorification of Nazism, Ukraine and the US traditionally voted against it. This is only to be expected, but Micronesia often joins them.
Micronesia was one of those countries (…) that voted “no” when the resolution was first introduced in 2005 and 2006. Now the United States once again needed Micronesia to protect neo-Nazism in Ukraine and support the Nazi regime in Kiev,
– wrote the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova in her Telegram channel.
They decided to hit these countries with the ruble. In the literal sense of the word. According to a government order, private and legal entities, state corporations, Russian regions and cities that have foreign currency obligations to listed enemies can pay them in rubles. According to the law, the debtor can ask a Russian bank to create a special account in the name of the creditor and transfer money to it in the equivalent in rubles.
It would be better, of course, to completely write off the debts to foreigners. After all, Russia’s former “partners” stole (they call it “freezing”) almost half of our country’s gold and currency reserves. We could not celebrate with them.
The second blacklist
The second list of enemies is the diplomatic one. It includes countries that treated our diplomats harshly: expelled them, closed consulates, recalled attachés, etc. Some countries, including Norway, are on both lists.
It should be noted that for the first time this list of enemies of Russian diplomats appeared long before the SVO – in May 2021. At that time, Russia considered the USA and the Czech Republic unfriendly. They accused our diplomats of working for the special services and expelled them. Then the Russian government ordered the Czechs to employ no more than 19 people in Russia in their diplomatic mission, and the United States – none.
The next act began after the start of the special military operation. In July 2022, Russia expanded its blacklist of unfriendly powers. Includes: Denmark, Slovakia, Greece, Slovenia and Croatia. According to the government decree, Slovenia and Croatia will not be able to hire employees in Russia at all for their diplomatic institutions, while Greece, Denmark and Slovakia have staff caps of 34, 20 and 16 people, respectively.
How will this affect enemies?
Of course, in a sense, being on the lists is symbolic. This is a kind of legally fixed finding of the fact that the relations between our countries are at an impasse.
However, this also brings certain difficulties for unfriendly diplomats. For example, employees – graduates of prestigious Western universities – will be forced to serve themselves. Someone will have to wash floors, rolling up their shirt sleeves, someone will have to receive the diplomatic mail themselves, drive in Moscow traffic jams and not sit in the back seat with their phone.
In addition, all this complicates the process of obtaining visas and puts an end to joint international projects. In recent years, however, they have been few. For example, relations between Russia and the notorious Norway – a NATO country – have been heating up since the 1990s. In 1998, the countries expelled each other’s diplomats after a spying scandal. In addition, Norway regularly discredits Murmansk fishermen and claims our territory in the Barents Sea, especially after large hydrocarbon reserves were discovered there.
What remains in the dry matter
A number of experts believe that it is necessary to act even more strictly with unfriendly countries. Including using network-oriented strategies.
First, all NATO countries should be included in the list of enemy countries, except those that try to pursue a relatively independent policy, such as Turkey and Hungary. Second, it is necessary to use their internal problems to destabilize the situation. In Norway they are migrants. This means that we have to work with their migrants, with protest forms, with ethno-cultural enclaves. In accordance with these tasks, the necessary resources will be found,– noted in an interview for Tsargrad Alexander Bovdunov, analyst of the International Eurasian Movement.
The expert is skeptical about the prospects for further cooperation with Norway, since this country has long been a facade for the ultra-liberal agenda of the West.
These phenomena of the “LGBT ideology” *, which somehow try to push in the rest of Europe, in the Scandinavian countries acquire a completely grotesque character: hence the cases of Marius the giraffe, Greta Thunberg, Breivik and the open war against family values.
There is nothing to talk about with them for now. Then the caliphate will finally appear there or some Kurdish state will emerge, we will agree on something, we will look for points of contact, but for now I don’t see the point of this,– quips the expert.
Note that Romania may become the next contender for membership on the blacklist. In any case, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced that the interim ruler of Romania was invited to Smolensk Square. So far, they have limited themselves to a warning – this is a response to the introduction of quotas for the number of Russian diplomatic personnel in Bucharest.
* Tsargrad continues to insist that no special terminology is needed to denote “LGBT”. Such things should be called by their true names. It’s about perversion.
