Thanks!

After several hours, no highly negative response from others? What is going on? Can it be that things are always more complex than the mass media companies are capable of understanding when they reprint government press releases as "news"?

Here's another zinger for you:

Which was the first country to run concentration camps in Europe?

1)  Nazi Germany
2)  Soviet Union
3)  Austro-Hungarian Empire
4)  British Empire

The answer is "3) Austro-Hungarian Empire". During World War I, from 1914 to 1918, Vienna ran a series of concentration camps (properly defined as "concentrating" large groups of people with the attendant violence and death, and not necessarily killing them in mass-production mode like the later Nazis.) The area they conducted mass terror in was "Galicia", roughly the westernmost 5 counties of Ukraine except the Carpathian region, plus southeast Poland. Estimates range as high as 60,000 people in the villages of the region being hanged on-site or sent to these camps, for declaring they were Russian and not Ukrainian.

The most well-known camps, which are still remembered by the Russian population of Ukraine, Belarus, and Poland are Talerhof and Terezin and others as far away as Austria itself.

The later pro-Nazi Ukrainians of Galicia that one reads about, who collaborated with the Nazis and whose grandchildren comprise such pro-Nazi groups as "Right Sector" and "Svoboda", were those who willingly assisted in the destruction of Russian identity in that region after a thousand years of the history of the Rus principalities.

There is no wonder that the Russians of all those countries including Russia itself are extremely mistrustful of the West for facilitating the violent coup d'etat by these same pro-Nazi forces controlling other well-meaning but possibly naive groups.

They may be worried about covert activity/false flag news leaks and high level telephone conversation leakages.

And they might be afraid of you because likely you can find and accurately translate Russian blogs and boards.

When this group demonizes current Russian leadership with Western MSM sources, and are called on the lack of veracity of the source, they switch to American blogs that supposedly are right of center but support the GOP-E that supports leftist One World policy.

The real reason for hatred of Russians by the Modern West, is that Russians are, as a culture, predominately White, Christian and Straight. Those qualities cannot be allowed to accumulate power.
