The reactionary hate campaign in Germany against Russia
13/04/22
Some 80 years after almost 30 million people—Jews, communists, partisans, soldiers, prisoners of war and civilians—fell victim to the bestial crimes of Hitler’s Wehrmacht (army) in the Soviet Union, hatred of Russians is being stirred up again in Germany.
The war in Ukraine is serving as a pretext to demonise all Russians and everything Russian. A leading role in this is being played by the Ukrainian ambassador in Berlin, Andriy Melnyk, who does not let a day pass without spreading his racist filth.
In a long interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Melnyk declared that all Russians were enemies. It could “not now be a question of distinguishing between bad Russians and good Russians,” he expounded. “I say it very clearly, Russia is an enemy state for us. And all Russians are enemies for Ukraine right now.”
After decades of having to practice humility and distance itself from the crimes of the Nazis, the ruling class can now give free rein to its outlook and retaliate. What was previously only said behind closed doors and in right-wing extremist circles can now again be said openly.
