The Awful Lie-The Ukrainians are not Nazis, but Putin and Russian leadership should assume the title

 


Jonah Goldberg of The Dispatch, in his article, “Is It Okay To Use the ‘G-Word’? linked to a horrific article written by a Russian propagandist and published in a Russian state-owned “news agency RIA Novosti (Russian: РИА Новости).” The article, “What should Russia do with Ukraine?is posted in English at Medium.Com and introduced by Maria Kravchenko. Some of Kravchenko’s explanations are:

The author, a Russian political technologist, also has the audacity to talk about the Soviet occupation of Ukraine. He is trying to support Putin’s narrative about Ukraine as an artificial country. Instead, the world should remember that the Soviet Union terrorized Ukraine for almost a century with forced collectivization, Great Purge, Terror-Famine (Holodomor), forced deportation, etc.

In this article, the author is describing ways how Russians want to wipe out Ukraine in the same way the Soviet regime did it.”

All of the article is a lie and is a design for murdering, imprisoning and destroying Ukraine and its people. Kravchenko pleads:

It’s important to spread this article. The Russian war should be stopped now. It was supposed to be stopped 8 years ago when it only began. 71% of Russians feel proud about this war. 75.5% of Russians approve of the idea of a military invasion of the next country and believe that it should be Poland. According to respondents, this is a logical continuation of the so-called “military special operation of the Russian Federation”.

The world should be aware of Russian methods, crimes, and plans. Putin will not stop until he is stopped.

Also Timothy Snyder, a historian and professor at Yale and author of many books on authoritarian nations including, Bloodlands: Europe between Hitler and Stalin has referred to the article on Twitter writing, “An article in the official state Russian news agency RIA Novosti advocates the elimination of the Ukrainian people as such. The text is so despicable that I’m not going to link to it. Will write about it later.”

Hopefully he will write about it soon.

The article claiming most of Ukraine is Nazified attempts to purify Putin’s actions but in reality reveals an ideology that shows that the leadership of Russia is truly copying Nazi Germany. Some of the statements remind the reader of Hitler’s final solution of the Jewish people only now it is about the Ukrainian people.

For instance, “Apparently, the name “Ukraine” cannot be kept as a title of any fully denazified state entity on the territory liberated from the Nazi regime.”

And, “Unlike, for example, Georgia or the Baltic States, history has proved it impossible for Ukraine to exist as a nation-state, and any attempts to “build” such a nation-state naturally lead to Nazism. Ukrainism is an artificial anti-Russian construct that has no civilizational substance of its own, a subordinate element of an extraneous and alien civilization.”

 

Also: “Denazification as a goal of the special military operation within the limits of the operation itself means a military victory over the Kyiv regime, the liberation of the territories from the armed supporters of nazification, the elimination of hard-line Nazis, the imprisonment of war criminals, and the creating of systemic conditions for further denazification in peacetime.”

 

And: “— The seizure of educational materials and the prohibition of educational programs at all levels that contain Nazi ideological guidelines;

— Mass investigations aimed to establish personal responsibility for war crimes, crimes against humanity, the spread of Nazi ideology, and support for the Nazi regime;

— Lustration, making the names of accomplices of the Nazi regime public, involving them in forced labor to restore the destroyed infrastructure as punishment for Nazi activities (from among those who have not become subject to the death penalty or imprisonment);”

Remember every time the term Nazification or Nazi is used in this article it is a lie, an evil misuse of language in order to destroy a people. It is meant to allow Putin and the Russian Government to slander, kill, maim and destroy in the name of some kind of supposedly righteous angel who is in reality a demon from hell. An anti-Christ in words and actions.

All of those on the far right, the Christians on the far right, who are glorifying Putin or anyone who agrees with him are reminiscent of the German Christians during Hitler’s time who were willing to send Jews, socialists, the disabled and yes, even Confessing pastors to concentration camps and death chambers.

Hello Viola,

You have been absent here for a while. Excellent post.

"An anti-Christ in words and actions." As we learn from the story of the Temptations of Jesus, the temptation to bend the knee to Satan starts with a lie.

I have believed for a long time that the Christians on the far right have bent a knee to the Anti-Christ.

Although at times I have called him "Mars" because Mars is the "god of war". We use the vocabulary of war in Church all the time, without even noticing it. The Spirit of the Anti-Christ sneaks in, riding on our every day language, and we forget He is the "Prince of Peace".

The appalling and unjust war crime in Ukraine just highlights the fact even more.

But "war" assumes death is final, and final victory is achieved by causing the death of one's foes. If, on the other hand, there is a Resurrection, then "war" is deprived of it's power. And with it every other form of strife and conflict.

Tomorrow we celebrate the final victory of the Prince of Peace.
