This is a great service and gives me a great insight into the Russian nationalist mindset. It makes the actions of Russia make a little more sense.
It seems they conflate any sense of "Ukrainian identity" with fascism and tie it back to WW2 Ukrainian fascism (aka Banderites). So any Ukrainian who thinks of themselves as not an extension of Russia is automatically a Nazi and committing genocide of the Russian people.
Yeah, it looks like the Russians have lost their mind momentarily and it's going to take a while before they can be good members of the international community. I don't think there's any room for "peace talks" at the moment and we should do all we can to disabuse them of their imperialist attitudes and refocus on themselves.
Thank you very much indeed for translating this abominable text! This is sick. For a German like me it is almost incomprehensible that intelligent persons willingly return to (or continue) the same type of thinking that has more than once caused so much horror and suffering. One can only hope -- both for the world and for the Russians themselves -- that Russia will have to cope with such a complete defeat that this type of fascism will be thoroughly discredited. Difficult to be an optimist here though.
Thank you for translating this. It took me a few tries to read it all the way through.
Shedding light on the darkest, most destructive choices (yes, these are choices) of those with concentrated money and power mixed with the sickest of desires has made this possible in a time when the previous century's biggest hurdles to quality of life had real solutions but not the will to enact.
This is DARVO. I am so sick of these cruel hateful manipulations of a warped reality/ sick fantasy that is running through recent history. Yes, the US government and dark money groups have been nurturing these deadly dangerous paranoid fantasies for decades & coming to a head these recent years. Yes, USA needs to perform LUSTRATION from cabinet level on down.
The excuses for invasion apparently took years to write, but encircle a hole in the donut that has a shape. That shape is resistance to rule from Moscow. The excuses don't matter themselves. They simply outline the shape of what cannot openly be said. It wouldn't really matter whether they used the word Nazi, or the word "Trotskyite", or any of the other excuses that have been used in the last 100 years. The shape they outline is what the Moscow State Apparatus will not tolerate, and never really has, whenever they thought they did not have to.
The may call it "Rodina", as in "Mother Russia", but the Russian Earth was defined long ago.
Ultimately the defining words that matter are the words of a Russian Orthodox Prelate, in the years just after 1453A.D.:
"The First Rome is gone, The Second has fallen, The Third Rome shall rise, and there will be no other!"

Remarkable parallels with German plans for Poland and the 'Slavs' in WW2. Truly chilling.

What is this? This is not an official Russian govt or even regime document is it?
The craziest thing here would be believing this propaganda fact-less word salad of a hate-paper
