Europe makes ridiculous attempts to condemn communism
01/25/2006 15:24
PACE tries to equate communism with Nazism while fascist sentiments gain
more popularity in Europe
Deputies of the Parliamentary Assembly of Europe (PACE) gathered for a
meeting today in an attempt to organize another Nuremberg trial over communism.
The draft resolution to internationally condemn "the crimes of totalitarian
communist regimes" will become one of the key points of discussion during the
PACE session which opened on January 23rd. It goes without saying that the
resolution touches upon Russia directly because Russia was destined to inherit
the biggest communist regime in history.
The author of the project, Swedish deputy Joran Lindblad, does not see
any fundamental differences between the communist regime in the USSR and the
Nazi regime in Germany. The deputy raised a question about the crime of massive
repressions committed in the Soviet Union. In other words, the PACE deputies
will have to decide whether Soviet officers should be equated to SS officers
and denounced as criminals against humanity.
A deputy of the Russian State Duma, Vladimir Kashin, expressed an opinion
of the Communist Party on the matter in an interview with Pravda.Ru. "It is
anticommunism that equals fascism. We can see how the Baltic countries, which
disavowed their Soviet past, let SS cutthroats march in the streets freely,
although they sent to crematoriums Soviet prisoners, Jews, Poles, British and
French citizens," Kashin said. The politician added that European
parliamentarians should recollect the fact that the communist forces
contributed greatly to the way the continent of Europe exists nowadays.
Vladimir Kashin named his own reasons of PACE's attention and interest in
the communist regimes: "Imperialism and its vices is being ousted from every
corner of the world. We can see it now when Europe tries to choose
socially-oriented models of state organization. The whole world is taking a
leftist turn nowadays. Being afraid of this trend, transnational corporations,
American and Israeli capitals act through Europe now," the communist said.
Russian democrats split in their estimations regarding PACE's resolution
on communism. Irina Khakamada expressed her bewilderment regarding the logic of
European parliamentarians. "Hell knows what is happening in their heads," the
politician said straightforwardly in her interview with Pravda.Ru. Khakamada
added that she would not uphold such a document. "I would strike out the word
'communist' from the resolution and replace it with "totalitarian and bloody
crimes." This is what should be condemned. There are many of such examples in
the world today - Indonesia or Iraq, for example. Communist parties are legal.
That is why there should not be such a heavy emphasis placed on communist
regimes," Khakamada said.
On the other hand, Irina Khakamada's former colleague, Leonid Gozman,
expressed a different point of view to a Pravda.Ru correspondent. "First of
all, I believe that the crimes committed by communists should be condemned just
like the crimes committed by Nazis were condemned. Secondly, it would be better
if we did it ourselves. The Soviet Union used to be the leading communist
country in the world. I would like the process to take place in the Russian
parliament, not in the PACE," Gozman said.
In spite of the fact that the communist ideology collapsed in Russia, the
numerous attempts to strike out everything that happened during the USSR's
existence should normally evoke an obvious reaction of protest with patriots.
Russian politicians have failed to express a single approach to the
matter of PACE's draft resolution to denounce communism. The leader of the
Liberal and Democratic Party of Russia, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, cracks jokes in
the Russian parliament saying that communism should be condemned just because
it saved Jews from the total extermination. In the meantime, the leader of the
Russian Communist Party, Gennady Zyuganov, scares passers-by in the center of
Strasbourg, waving his red banner and singing communist songs.
