Increasing repression in Russia, including the case of Alexey Navalny
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to quote a few sentences from a text that I believe was published two days ago by RIA Novosti, the most official body in the Kremlin. It reads: "Denazification is a set of measures against the Nazi mass of the Ukrainian population. It is necessary to carry out a total cleaning. In addition to high-ranking officials, a significant part of the popular masses who are passive Nazis, collaborators of Nazism, are also guilty. The duration of denazification may in no case be less than one generation. “Ukro-Nazism” – do you understand? “Nazi Ukraine” – is no less a threat to peace and Russia than German Nazism was with Hitler”, etc., etc. Mr Putin’s Kremlin, that is. That is what you have just heard, i.e. quotes from that regime. Because I am not exaggerating, this is the text of Mr Putin’s regime. So what do we have to deal with this? Well, never forget that Russia is not that. Never forget to reach out to Russia and say: We don't want any harm to you. Instead, we want to build a continent of peace and stability with you.
