Russian Foreign Ministry: Latvia continues to rewrite history and glorify the Nazis

20 September 2015

The Russian Foreign Ministry called the opening of 11 of September in the Latvian city of Ile, a monument to the Forest Brothers, which operated on the territory of the republic in 40-50 in most of the former legionnaires of the Waffen SS, as outrage over the memory of the victims of World War II, reports RIA News.

According to various sources, from the hands of the “forest brothers”, from 1,5 to 3, thousands of people, including civilians, died.

“It is puzzling that the event was supported by state officials. At the opening of the monument was attended by about 300 people, among whom were representatives of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Latvia. The Chairman of the Seimas of Latvia, Ieva Mūrniece, addressed the participants with a welcoming speech. We consider this regular cynical action of praising in Latvia minions of Nazi criminals as an outrage upon the memory of the millions who fell in the fight against the "brown plague" ”, - says the commentary of the ombudsman for human rights Konstantin Dolgov, published on the website of the department.

He noted that "the Latvian authorities continue to pursue a line on revising the outcome of the Second World War, which runs counter to international law, in particular the decisions of the Nuremberg Tribunal, and contrasts sharply with Riga’s international legal obligations to counter the neo-Nazi and xenophobic tendencies."

“We urge the international community, including human rights organizations, to pay close attention to the glaring facts of the glorification of Nazism in the Republic of Latvia and give them a proper assessment,” - The authorized foreign ministry stressed.

Cause it's so fashionable right now
I'm afraid that soon they will not be up to it. Especially when new quotas are allocated for immigrants with IS, and their own population leaves for the EU themselves, but how do they compete with refugees from Asia?
Time, under the direction of God, will put everything in its place!

  German fighters went on patrol in the Baltic States with full ammunition
  
  20.09.2015, 09: 00
  
  The airspace of the Baltic countries for the first time will be patrolled by German Eurofighter fighters with full ammunition. The command considers arming the aircraft "motivation for the soldiers."
  For the first time since the beginning of the Ukrainian crisis in the skies over the Baltic countries, German Eurofighter fighters with full ammunition on board took up combat duty. This is reported by InoTV with reference to dpa.
  As the inspector general of the German air forces Karl Mülner told the agency, arming aircraft “is not a means of escalation” and serves to meet a potential enemy on an equal footing. According to Mülner, it is also necessary for the “motivation of soldiers” performing tasks in the air over the Baltic.
  Earlier, the German Air Force already participated in the NATO mission to patrol the airspace of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. However, from September to December 2014, the flights were carried out without full ammunition. As Mulner explained, such a decision was made at the political level, so as not to provoke an escalation of the conflict with the Russian armed forces.

        The most interesting thing is that this modern modification of Baltic fascism is not going to fight. These are mummers of fascists more for indulging the offended pride of a small people disappearing in the air. Any sober person understands that a country is the size of a pea and politically has the same weight. God forbid in the next 100 years to preserve the language on their own territory, or at least in their own family. In the USSR, state agencies took care of the preservation of their languages and culture, they were cared for and cherished. And now, having received formally "independence" and "statehood", these peoples hastily parted with both attributes and obediently carry out instructions from Brussels and Washington. And they take care of the language and culture themselves. As a result, more than a third of the population left their native lands, dissolving in the tolerant ESovsky cauldron.

      It is surprising that the collaborators were able to survive under the conditions of "occupation" and "repression against the Latvian people." Perhaps the "bloody Stalinist-Beria regime" does not deserve such assessments? I had a chance to meet the former "Waffen-CC-sheep" in Latvia. Some of them were released immediately after being checked in "Smersh". After the Victory, the death penalty was abolished, those who were convicted, having given 15 or 25, ended up in early release under an amnesty. The same happened with the Bandera. After the release, they sat quietly, earned pensions of the USSR, some managed to join the CPSU (hence the anecdote, I ask you to accept me in the CP - I was already in the SS) and make a career (the first president is Ukrainians - Kravchuk), but in the early 1990s the Germans began to look for them for the payment of pensions from Germany. And they again felt like heroes. Today, in general, they are in favor ("America is with us!").

    And a hedgehog it is clear that the Russian Federation will not fight there ... Even bloody provocations will not help (well, only if the army of the Baltic countries does not launch a large-scale offensive, but this will not happen), because it is clear to whom and why this is necessary!

Although the real threat comes from them from a completely different East ...

    Yes, there is no need to maintain any relations with them! To sever diplomatic and economic relations, to stop transit through the Baltic States, since the terminal in Ust-Luga is already pulling over transit flows passing through the Baltic States. Close the topic regarding the Russian-speaking population in the Baltics, everyone who wanted to leave for Russia long ago, there are only those who want to be "European" even as a non-citizen. Block the borders and stop supplying our gas, oil and electricity to the Baltics. They are in the European Union, so let Europe supply them with everything. And on this to put an end to relations with the Balts. We will not lose anything from the break, they will lose.

As long as the puppets of Faitington rule in the Baltic states, the picture will not change. It will be a girlfriend only when the states are destroyed or weakened. Then the Baltic partners will quickly remove all the wrong monuments and restore the old ones to grease Russia. Because such small countries can never be independent great and powerful!

Well, yes ... Directly according to Freud ... After all, they are of no interest to either the state or the nation ... Therefore, one has to go out of their way to be noticed. And since it does not work either economically or culturally, it is necessary politically - to bite a large neighbor by all available means But these methods have already crossed all the lines, and you just need to loudly poke the collector of the lands of Europe with a snout into the Nazi mud so that it dawns on everyone that there is a frank revival of fascism!

Yes, do not care for this under-state.
There is something else: it is puzzling that this shit does not find opposition from officials of the same EU.
Although if you think about it, then ...
Who drives in the EU? Germany? Then it is clear...
And who commands Germany? States? Then it’s doubly clear: from the countries of the anti-Hitler coalition it was the States that after the war sheltered many dozens (if not hundreds) of fascists. Of course, to help fight the USSR.

“We urge the international community, including human rights specialized organizations, to pay close attention to the flagrant facts of the glorification of Nazism in the Republic of Latvia and give them a proper assessment,” said the Foreign Ministry representative.

The representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs mumbled, it will be more accurate. I understand everything, diplomatic conventions and so on force to make such streamlined statements. But conventions work where there are actions behind them, and in the case of a strong foreign policy, one possibility of action is enough. What actions did the Russian Federation take to pro-Balts in response to "egregious facts"? Moreover, these "facts" are regular and lasting for decades. Severed diplomatic relations? announced sanctions? launched Latvian business around the world? I'm not even talking about specific, but effective "targeted measures" against specific organizers. Why should Latvians be afraid? Anxious Lavrov's Armenian alarm bell? Sometimes there is a feeling that appeals to the "world community" are the purpose of the Foreign Ministry's work. There was a problem - a call or concern - a checkmark about the work done. Yes, the world community and human rights defenders put a big and fat one on your appeals.
I do not think that Lavrov and Messrs. From the Ministry of Foreign Affairs do not understand this, but urge and urge. Apparently the Foreign Ministry is imprisoned to protect some other interests, and the interests and dignity of the country are just a screen.
