Allowed to hate
The court of the Moldavian city of Balti did not find anything defendant in the insults of the teacher of geography of the Balti vocational school Viktor Kravchenko, with whom he had half a lesson regaled his Russian students. Now, Moldovan newspapers write, any resident of the country can legally begin to publicly declare that one nation is better than another. Well, the teachers in Moldova are given the carteblanche to conduct lessons of national hatred.
15 November 2012 was posted a twenty-minute record on the Internet, where Kravchenko as soon as did not insult his students. They were guilty only in the fact that they consider Russian their native language, and they call themselves Russians. “Russian invaders! They pissed off the muzzles on Moldavian soil! The law will come out, we will destroy you,” Kravchenko declares on videotape. “The whole Earth mumbles in Russian! That's what you introduced into world culture! Motherhood - that's all! That's what you are famous for." And this is not a complete list of quotes with insults to students.
After the outbreak of scandal, the teachers were fired, and in the Moldovan Ministry of Education they even promised to conduct an inspection. Then a collective lawsuit appeared, under which more than 50 people signed (signatures were collected at a rally held in November last year). The complainants demanded that the court oblige the defendant to apologize to the Russian-speaking population of Moldova, and also fined him a symbolic sum of ten lei (this is approximately 25 rubles).
However, the complaint was not satisfied. The judge did not find in the words of Kravchenko "nothing contrary to the law."
"With the decision of the court in relation to the teacher Viktor Kravchenko, against whom a criminal case was initiated into inciting ethnic hatred, it is impossible to agree under any circumstances. I will do everything possible to change it, and the Russophobian teacher will have a well-deserved punishment," Chairman of the Parliamentary Commission on Human Rights and National Minorities Vadim Mishin. He expressed concern that law enforcement agencies had virtually turned a blind eye to the incident, which received wide public response. “If the representatives of national minorities cannot find the protection of their interests in Moldova, then what will our society turn into?” Mishin wondered.
And in the Moldavian edition of “Replica”, it was popularly explained what the scandalous decision of the Balti court could lead to: “From now on, any teacher in Moldova has a complete and, most importantly, legal right to arrange a lesson in which the position towards any of the nationalities living in Moldova. From now on, any person has the right to start teaching children from a position - some nations are better than others, some nationalities are better than others, some languages are better than others. From now on, schools, universities or colleges have the right to accept Viktor Kravchenko but. Due to the fact that the corpus delicti in his actions were discovered. From now on, any citizen of Moldova is legally guaranteed by the court the power to declare that certain nationalities in the country must be exterminated, and as a private person he is not threatened.
