[quote:Tamonten:MV8yNzg0MTE2XzQ4Njk1NzkxX0ZBOTQyRDM0] [quote:Anonymous Coward 67697908:MV8yNzg0MTE2XzQ4NjkzMDk2XzQ0RDRGMUNF] This article by The Saker is priceless.. below is just a [b]very small[/b] excerpt. [b]From Napoleon to Adolf Hitler to Conchita Wurst[/b] This latest crisis in the Ukraine really did "break" something in the Russian national awareness and now I think that the prevailing feeling in Russia about the West is simply disgust. The new Europe Disgust with the total hypocrisy of standing in theory for one thing and in supporting its exact opposite. Disgust with an entire political system built on lies. Disgust with a society which values homosexual "rights" to adopt children much more then the right of Novorussian children to live. Disgust with the obscene whining of millions of "Charlies" combined the total heartless indifference towards thousands of killed civilians every day. Disgust with an EU subservience to the USA even when it clearly goes against one own's national interest. Disgust with a society which bans Nazi symbols or even an honest investigation of the so-called "Holocaust" but sends billions of dollars in support of Nazis in Kiev. Disgust with a society which did not have the moral fiber to resist Hitler and which had to be freed from Hitler by Stalin. Disgust for a society which now apparently "forgot" who freed it from Hitler. Disgust for a society which is willing to commit economic seppuku just to please its imperial overlord, Uncle Sam. Disgust with central Europeans for having nothing more to offer to their new masters then a competition of which country can be most hysterically anti-Russian (Poland and Latvia win) even though they all had it much better then Russia under Communist rule. If Napoleon was hated and Hitler was feared, Conchita Wurst is simply despised. Even the Russian liberals, who still get plenty of time on Russian TV, now find nothing better to say than "our government is every bit as bad the those in the West" - hardly an enthusiastic response. The fact is that for all practical purposes, and for the first time in over 300 years, there really is no more truly pro-European or pro-Western camp in Russia, not in the elites, not amongst the common people. Oh sure, there are still plenty of 5th columnists in the top echelons of power (we have the West of 1980s and 1990s to thank for that too), but they cannot openly show their face and promote their ideas. Even they now have to pretend that they are disgusted with West and "patriotic". This process is made even deeper by another very important factor: Much more at link. http://vineyardsaker.blogspot.no/2015/02/from-napoleon-to-adolf-hitler-to.html Take Care [/quote] Well, yeah. That's pretty much right. And on [i]"Disgust with a society which did not have the moral fiber to resist Hitler and which had to be freed from Hitler by Stalin. Disgust for a society which now apparently "forgot" who freed it from Hitler."[/i] - I use it as opportunity to quote Pushkin's poem from 19th century once again. It was said about Napoleon, but there's no much difference with Hitler's case. [i]And, frankly, you are hating us… Why? On the grounds that, on the ashes Of blazing Moscow, we refused To buy the power of the brash, who You trembled underneath, subdued? Respond: because we sent the idol, Who’d been predominating kingdoms, to abyss, Thus having paid with our lifeblood For Europe’s freedom, state and peace?..[/i] - from "ODE TO DEFAMERS OF RUSSIA (1831)" by Alexander Pushkin translated by Vyacheslav Chetin http://www.stihi.ru/2014/04/18/1325 [/quote]
