Currently, management of Russia is concentrated in the hands of a small group, the figurehead of which is Putin – the richest man in Europe and Russia. The clique’s education differs from the background of European politicians. The training of Putin’s clique comes straight from KGB and FSB. In the Russian hierarchy of power, there’s no-one higher than they. During the Soviet Union, at least the party controlled the KGB.

Should anybody still believe that the compatriots’ policy pursued by Russia is indeed motivated by a sincere concern for how Russians fare outside the motherland borders, it’s time for a little reality check and remember how Hitler made use of ethnic Germans for his own interests. Anybody that’s been to Russia knows how little Russians are cared about in Russia.

In the Kremlin, they do not like colourful revolutions; rather, they sneak corrupt Moscow-minded people into the governments of corrupt countries. While at power, Yanukovych managed to arrest historians researching Soviet era crimes, and to publish an approving view on Holodomor – genocide organised by Soviet power. The programme included restrictions on freedom of speech and any-gay propaganda. Yanukovych did the things a Moscow-minded leader was supposed to do. The people told him «no» and spoiled Putin’s long-term plan for quiet annexation of Ukraine to Russia.

Now, it’s West’s turn to say «no» to Russia’s goal to expand her power outside her borders. This cannot be done by diplomatic dialogue. A state, lying purposefully and continuously, can in no way be a partner in discussions. Russia has already shown that by playing diplomacy, they are only buying time to transport the heavier weapons to the borders.

In the West, they have tried to understand Kremlin’s actions; even so, why bother to understand colonialism. Would we understand should Elisabeth II up and declare she wants to restore the British colonial empire in its maximal historic borders?

Should we try to understand if Ms Merkel the chancellor should threaten to restore Germany at its Hitler era heights? What if the German TV should air programmes where soft toys are preparing for war? What if Germany were lead by people educated at the Gestapo? How would it feel if, in the minds of the Germans, Hitler would be a greatest hero in their history, like Stalin is in Russia? What if Germany would claim that Europe (Gayrope, as they say in Russia) is governed by a homosexual conspiracy, as is claimed in Russian propaganda? Does anybody remember: who was it that said that Western decline was caused by Jewish conspiracy?
