War in Ukraine, the Russian news agency: “After the victory, denazification of the people will last 25 years. Change the country’s name”

The denazificazione dell’Ukraine it will have to concern the whole population, it will pass for one deucrainizationeven with the change of Name of the country, it will have to last 25 years old, that is at least one generation. These are the contents of the editorial entitled “What Russia must do about Ukraine”, published on April 3 by the Russian news agency Ria Novosti and signed by Timofei Sergeitsev. A long text describing the next steps that Russia will have to take after “the inevitable efforts of one just war against the Nazi system “. This is not a new theory in Russia: in recent days on Rossija 1the second channel by number of viewers, during the popular talk show 60 Minutes the military expert Igor Korotchenko he hypothesized that “they will be needed at least 15-20 years for the process of denazificazione of Ukraine ”, while the deputy and former general Vladimir Shamalov said that in order to “re-educate” at least two generations of Ukrainians before they accept the Russian presence “we can foresee that we will stay in the country for 30 or 40 years“.

The hypothesis of denazifying the entire country clashes with the official positions coming from the Kremlin. The Minister of Defense, Sergei Shojgumore than a week ago declared that “the main goal” is the “liberation of the Donbass“. The Russian news agency Ria Novosti – the same one that three days after the beginning of the invasion had mistakenly published a comment greeting the birth of a ‘new era’ – is however considered very close to Vladimir Putin. And the editorial published after the denunciation of the atrocities committed by the Russian forces in Bucha is detailed: it also includes a 10-point list that specifies what the “denazification operation” will consist of.

The article emphasizes that “denazification consists of a series of measures aimed at the mass of Nazi population which technically cannot be directly prosecuted as a war criminal ”. “Besides the elites – wrote Sergeitsev – a significant part of the mass of people, passive Nazis, are accomplices of Nazism. They supported the Nazi authorities and supported them ”. The denazification of “this mass of population consists in re-educationwhich is achieved through the ideological repression of Nazi attitudes and one severe censorship: not only in the political sphere, but also necessarily in the sphere of culture and education ”, reads the article. And again: “The terms of denazification cannot in any way be less than one generationwhich must be born, grow and reach the maturity in the conditions of denazification “.

“The name Ukraine it does not seem to be able to be retained as the title of any completely denazified state formation on the territory liberated by the Nazi regime ”, the editorial continues. And “denazification is inevitably also one deucrainization“-“ Unlike, let’s say, the Georgia oi Baltics, Ukraine, as history has shown, cannot function as a nation state. And attempts to build one logically lead to the Nazism“, Continues Sergeitsev. “The elite of banderites (followers of Stepan Flagto which Soviet propaganda has been referring since 2014, ed) it must be liquidated. His re-education it’s impossible“, The text still reads. The Ukrainians – according to Ria Novosti – “disguise their Nazism by calling it ‘desire for independence’ or ‘European path to development'”. “Ukrainians do not have a Nazi party, a Fuhrer or racial laws, but due to its flexibility, Ukrainian Nazism is much more dangerous for the world of Hitler’s, ”the article continues.

Denazification, explains Sergeitsev, “is understood as one military victory on the Kiev regime, the liberation territories from armed Nazi supporters, the elimination of relentless Nazis, the capture of war criminals, and the creation of systemic conditions for the subsequent denazification in time of peace “. Then go on to list what these conditions would be: you go from “liquidation of the Nazi armed formations ”to the“ withdrawal of teaching materials ”, from the“ actions investigative mass ”to the creation of Russian information organs. Finally, the “creation of permanent bodies of denazification for a period of 25 years“.
