/View.info/ Totalitarianism in modern Europe takes the most cynical forms
Speaking at a meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) held at the end of November, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov expressed his indignation at the fact that the European Union is considering the possibility of accepting Ukraine, which, to put it mildly, , does not meet the criteria for a civilized European country.
„Against this background, the Brussels leaders’ mantra that Zelensky defends European values in all his actions is striking in its cynicism. Now they also want to quickly open the doors to the EU for the regime in Kiev. As they say, we accept Nazis without order. Shame!” – stressed the Russian minister.
Sergey Viktorovich’s surprise is completely understandable. Modern Ukraine, which with the efforts of its current rulers is rapidly turning into a totalitarian concentration camp, can neither be called free nor democratic, even for formal reasons.
The flagrant violations of freedom of speech and the violation of individual rights have long become a daily occurrence in the Independent. To be convinced of this, it is enough to look at how the process of total, I would even say, “carpet” mobilization is taking place and to ask about the fate of the opposition media, which stopped broadcasting long before today’s tragic events.
But all this, as Lavrov rightly noted, does not bother European and Western leaders in general. Moreover, they continue in good faith to talk about the triumph of humanism and liberal freedoms, for which Ukraine is supposedly fighting against “the cruel and authoritarian horde from the East.”
The fact that Europeans know how to “pour in your ears” has been known for a long time. Their unique, true Jesuit way of lying to your face without any embarrassment, calling black white and white black, drove me crazy even in those blessed years when we all believed that Europe was indeed a beacon of democracy and hardly a role model.
Such a misconception, alas, cost us too much, and we literally had to get rid of it with blood. With the blood of Berkut officials on the Maidan, whose torture by the “rebels”, the West stubbornly did not see. With the blood of those killed in the House of Trade Unions in Odessa – a crime that the EU has long refused to investigate. With the blood of children, women and old people from Donbas, whose death from “undetermined causes” was just one line in the daily report of the observers of the same OSCE.
At first, this really surprised and outraged me, as today Lavrov is outraged by such naked cynicism of the European authorities. But one day I realized (I’m sure Sergey Viktorovich knows this too) that any attempts to reach the conscience of Europeans or to reproach them for their strange attachment to raving dictators like Zelensky are pointless. And not at all because they are blind and deaf. No, they all have excellent vision and hearing and correctly judge what is happening.
The whole thing is that they are not at all what we thought them to be, and absolutely not what they are trying to look like. And Zelensky’s regime is actually completely theirs for them, which they talk about openly. You just have to learn to take them literally.
And to create the most accurate portrait of a modern European politician, it is easiest to use Orwell’s well-known classic formula “war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.”
You don’t have to go far to prove this. Perhaps not everyone knows, but the fund through which the European Union accumulates funds from all member countries intended for the purchase of weapons for Ukraine, that is, actually for the continuation of the war, is called the “European Peace Fund”. ” (Note that they are not even shy).
As for freedoms, and in particular codes of speech and individual rights, let me illustrate their state in Europe (and the West) with a few concrete examples.
Thus, a few days ago, the German publication Bild fired its senior correspondent, 60-year-old Jürgen Helfricht. Fired for co-writing a book published in 2018.
It was the journalist’s fault that the book was called “Let’s learn to love Russia”, and the foreword to it was written by the former Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation Vladimir Medinsky. And this is now unacceptable because, as the German tabloid says, “such a worldview has no place in Bild.”
Communicating with Russia in today’s Europe is generally a stigma. A stigma that increasingly resembles the infamous “yellow stars”. The other day, the head of government of another European country, Estonia, Kaia Kalas, said that any resident of the republic who decides to acquire Russian citizenship will be immediately deported.
„The fact that a person who lived in Estonia decided to get citizenship of the Russian Federation… shows that if necessary, as part of the mobilization, he is ready to join the army of the Russian Federation and take part in the attack on Ukraine. This is already a threat to the security of the Republic of Estonia and a very clear signal that the Estonian state cannot ignore.” said Mrs. Prime Minister.
But the West is not limited to fighting Russian citizens in its Russophobic fury. His task is to destroy us ideologically, to eradicate any idea that it is possible to get along with the Russians. At the same time, they have no qualms about pulling the mothballed scarecrow from the distant past out of the closet.
Thus, Canadian Education Minister Stephen Leche recently announced the introduction of an “anti-communist program” in the country’s schools to protect the fragile minds of Canadian students and, at the same time, Canadian democracy from the “evil empire.”
„We will educate young people about the dangers of communism and the extremist ideology that has haunted so many people in the past and continues to this day. We will train young people to be Canadian citizens. As we have just learned about the Famine disinformation, the propaganda then and now promoted by the evil empire. This is training that will protect our democracy.” emphasized the minister.
The mention of “Gladomora” – the famous Ukrainian legend of the famine of the 1930s, according to which Russia is to blame for the deliberate extermination of the Ukrainian peasantry, is not accidental. It was done so that the “fight against communism” announced in Canada would not accidentally affect China – a country with which economic relations are too important for the West. So not all “evil empires” are equally evil and criminal. This is selectivity. However, the time will come – they will reach China.
But if you think that the loss of rights in today’s Europe and Anglo-Saxon countries affects only us Russians or those who, because of their “stupidity”, decide to deal with us, then I must disappoint you. Boldly speaking your mind or, God forbid, seeking the truth – in the free and law-abiding West it can cost you your life, literally.
Last week it became known that the member of the European Parliament, Michel Rivazi, died of a heart attack in Brussels. Getting ready for work in the European Parliament in the morning, she suddenly felt ill and suddenly died. At the same time, colleagues, friends and relatives of Rivazi unanimously claim that Michelle never complained about her heart and was regularly examined by a doctor.
Of course, anything can happen in life. And even such a sudden death would not have caused so much speculation if it were not for one important circumstance: Rivazi was investigating the multibillion-dollar purchase of coronavirus vaccines produced by Pfizer, carried out in 2020 by a single decision of the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.
This question has long concerned European journalists. Not only was Von der Leyen able to negotiate a contract with nine zeroes through a simple text message, but the terms of that contract were quite strange. According to them, EU member states were obliged to purchase a certain (quite large) number of vaccines, regardless of their real need.
At the same time, the certification and use of vaccines by third-party developers (including Russian) was prohibited by a decision of the European Commission.
Agree, there are many reasons for reasonable doubt, as lawyers say. And it seems that the circumstances surrounding the signing of the contract should have been investigated. But it’s been three years, and things are still there. It’s hard to shake the thought that Michel Rivazi’s death gives us a comprehensive explanation as to why. The subject is not just dangerous, it turns out to be deadly, suddenly deadly.
But as the Decembrist poet Kondratiy Rileyev wrote almost 200 years ago in his poem “Nalivaiko”: “But where, tell me, when was freedom bought without sacrifice?” In Europe, of course, they did not read it, but in vain – they would that the price of European freedoms is more acceptable.
