By The Voice of Russia | Russian-Israeli journalist and politician Avigdor Eskin sharing in an interview with Voice of Russia 's point of view on issues of European democracy and its transformations in Ukraine.
Voice of Russia : How protests in Ukraine, which in turn increased the influence of nationalist political parties and movements, they come into the system of European values ? Avigdor Eskin : The events in Ukraine highlighted the weakness of modern democracy. The technical aspect , direct vote, is idolized . The " sacredness " of the elections was broken in Ukraine. Recognizing the new government of Ukraine , the Western countries recognize the existence of double standards in several technical aspects : it is the recognition that an elected president can be removed . But it is not just the technical aspects of the democratic process. This is the first time since the end of World War II a secured party with Nazi criminals want to power. Do not confuse this with the European party groups protesting against immigration. And we see that democracy is not able to interfere with projects these neo-Nazis. It is a crisis of the whole system , not a local dysfunction. LVdlR : Changes on the political scene in Ukraine, what effect they will have on the situation in Ukraine and Russian-speaking Jewish communities ? What is the attitude of Israeli society over what is happening in Ukraine? AE: Ukraine is entering a period of turmoil. In such situations , ethnic minorities still suffer , and elsewhere, on both sides of the conflict. Objective coverage of events in Ukraine is not the priority of Western countries. Information corresponding European media had sole motto the idea that the masses who rebelled and require the independence of their country of Putin. We can say that the Russian media in Ukraine working more professionally than their European counterparts. While the Israeli press is trying to make sense of things, but nobody will analyze in depth the intricacies of Ukrainian politics , but politicians in Ukraine. LVdlR : Is it legitimate to form vigilante groups in Crimea in response to the formation of such groups in western Ukraine and Kiev? AE: It really is time to distribute arms to all forces fighting against neo-Nazism . And we can not consider these actions as interference in internal affairs. The opposition to Nazism , it is the obligation of every citizen and every state . I wish success to Russia to remove the tumor from Ukraine and all over Europe !
Minor undestatement?
Thanks for posting. It’s good to know that FR will inform me of the latest Russian propaganda.
“I AM RUSSIAN FROM ODESSA - and I will be defending my country - Ukraine with ARMS “
It will be easy to kill Russians and Russians to kill us!
We speak the same language and we understand radio transmissions on the air - and it will be easy to kill Russians and Russians to kill us! Our armies, in fact, are armed with the same weapons and ammunition - it will be easy to kill each other!
It will be easy to kill Russians and Russians - us!
Writes blogger endryx (Andrey Khartanovich):
This is me about the technical side of our death :
- We speak the same language and we understand radio transmissions on the air - and it will be easy to kill Russians and Russians to kill us!
- Our armies, in fact, are armed with the same weapons and ammunition - it will be easy to kill each other!
- We all learned to fight from the same training manuals - it will be easy to kill each other!
- Maps , documentation, manuals, etc. are actually in the same language - it will be easy to kill each other!
- It will be easy to interrogate and torture Russian prisoners of war, and for them torture us (no language problems)!
- It will be easy to kill Russians, and for themto kill us - we know the terrain and countryside where we will kill each other (I trecked with a lot of fellow Russians through the Crimean mountains) and 80% of my guests were Russians tourists!
- In the darkness, with poor coordination between units, the language factor and the similarity of uniforms and weapons will lead to confusion and it will be easy to kill, our own and Russians. And they will face the same situation (as the experience in Chechnya has shown).
- In the street fighting, locked in a melee, and cutting throats, we are both going to scream:”F..k your mother!” And dying, we both will call our MOM!
- Burying our dead will be equally easy for our funeral teams. And name plates with names of “enemies” and “our own” are in the same language. It will be important after the “victory” (whoever “won, shit!”), not to confuse, over which monument to place what flag (in the Russian army there are as many soldiers “Kovalenkos”, as in Ukrainian - “Ivanovs”). As a person who was engaged in the reburial of our soldiers who died in World War II, I know how difficult is to recognize the bodies. In this war, it will be easy to bury dead - all will be OURS!!
I’m a Russian-speaking, Odessa historian, who wrote the script for the Russian TV “History of the Russian State,” “ Time of Victory” and “ Battles of Moscow”, I can not comprehend the phrase “Russian occupation troops in the Ukraine!”!
I CAN NOTTTTT!
But I remember, my service in the Special Forces of the USSR Army (near Moscow from 1989 to 1991) and I will ask for machine gun, so that being 43 yera old, I will go to defend my Ukraine from its Russian occupants! At the same time, I understand that I might meet the guys, with whom I served, or with which in the last summer I was touring-sightseeing and drank wine with them on the beach....
Russians, I will be defending from you the house of Pushkin in Odessa!
Russians, I will be defending from you the residence of Bunin, Tolstoy and Vorontsov palace, Potemkin Stairs and the monument to Catherine!! I will be defending the graves of my two grandfathers - war veterans (and the Black Sea Fleet sailor, and hero of Battle of Stalingrad). I will defend my grandmother - a war veteran, my wife - Russian Svetlana Ivanova, my three children and my mother and father!
Because I love it all!!! It’s my motherland!!! I will defend it!! Pushkin, Vorontsov, Gorky, Shevchenko, Bunin, Bulgakov.... I will defend them all from you! You better realize that!! While I - still can not comprehemd it! My brain refuses to understand this!!
P.S. Of course I am not the same warrior. I, like many Ukrainian men who under the “Last stand of Slavs” will go tomorrow to battle, will probably return in “zinc can” and be burried in Odessa. I don’t live inKamchatka, of which I had dreamed since childhood... I will not be at the wedding of my two princesses or marry my son Anton. I will not bury my parents... ((((
But I will defend my homeland - Ukraine, and I will be cursing you in RUSSIAN! Because I will not have time to learn to perfection my Ukrainian language - when Russian soldiers will kill me...
Russians, think, consider whether you want to easily kill the Ukrainians, and with patriotic enthusiasm, to bury yours and ours body’s in the graves of their grandfathers ? ? ? ? ?
