Russia once again confirmed its status of a great power and strengthened the international authority returned to it by President Putin. Soon after the Russian parliament made a statement condemning the transfer of the monument to the Russian soldiers in Tallinn, the valiant defenders of the rights of the Bronze Soldier proved their ability to resist the Estonian fascists.

They robbed Wool & Cotton stores, Sportland and Hugo Boss, defeated the wine store and burned cars. One of the defenders of the monument was killed by a knife in a fight; Dozens of people-including police officers-suffered, a girl-police broke her leg; And the Prime Minister of Estonia received a message by e-mail that he was sentenced to death and will be killed.
This is not the first time that Russia visually demonstrates a new, conscious policy aimed at the revival of the greatness of the country. The first time was when in Poland several hooligans beat the children of Russian diplomats and took away mobile phones from them. President Putin sharply condemned the actions of the Poles, and what? In less than a few days, unknown patriots on the streets of Moscow beat two Polish diplomats and one journalist. The Pole is not a black man, it is difficult to identify him, so the brigade worked: one led, the other gave instructions, the rest beat.
The second time took place when GRU officers were detained in Georgia. The Minister of Defense immediately denied the vile insinuations of the Georgian media that the main intelligence department was engaged in intelligence (however, it is quite possible that under Mountains Ivanovo it really was engaged in something else, for example, breeding cacti). And President Putin called for protecting indigenous nationality in the markets.
After that, Russia declared war - however, not Georgia, but Georgians. Military operations against the civilian population were successfully and ended with a crushing financial victory of cops and several deaths in the ranks of the enemy during deportation.
And now, following Poland and Georgia, Estonia also felt the heavy hand of the new Russia.
I must say that Russia reacts to external challenges very selectively. When North Korean missiles fell without warning to our territory during the tests, Russia did not consider this an insult. When the leader of Hamas Khaled Mashal, invited to Moscow, directly at the airport stated that Hamas did not recognize the state of Israel (and thereby confirmed the meaninglessness of international negotiations with him), Russia did not consider this an insult.
And even when the terrorists abducted and killed our diplomats in Iraq, the vice speaker of Slisk said that the “wine for the execution of the hostages” lies with those who untied the war in Iraq. It seems that this was the first case in world history, when the official representative of the state, speaking of the death of his citizens, used the phraseology of terrorists and the word “execution” (which court sentenced them to, what were they to blame for?).
In other words, Russia has never been offended when the rogue countries spat on her face. Even when the North Korean dictator Kim Jong I first promised President Putin the nuclear disarmament of Korea, and then said that he was joking - and then Russia was not offended.
When insults of great Russia were inflicted by Western countries, we were offended - but not much. For example, when the poacher Captain Yarantsev took two Norwegian inspectors hostage, Russia, of course, sided with the valiant captain and even forbade the import of the Norwegian salmon. But still, well-coordinated brigades were not beaten by Norwegian diplomats, and Norwegian citizens were not deported from the country.
As for the events inside Russia itself, this is not worth talking about. President Putin was not offended when the Vostok battalion arranged a small genocide in the furrow. The Russian parliament was not offended when in Khimki the monuments to military pilots were simply dug up with a bulldozer, the plates were roughly scattered, and the protesters were beaten by riot police. No one urged the Khimki goods to boycott and declare mayor Himmok Persona Non Grad.
Another thing is the country that once former part of the Soviet Empire. Poland, Georgia, Estonia. Here, the anger of President Putin, the Russian police and elusive avengers is always ready to fall on those who forgot that our armor is strong and our tanks are quick.
And this anger gives visible results. For example, Poland after beating their diplomats placed elements about the United States on its territory. And Georgia appealed to the Strasbourg court.
Both of them visibly shows how the foreign policy of President Putin attaches the prestige of Russia and returns the former imperial greatness to it.
