Julia Latynina is certainly a talented journalist. I read with interest its texts placed on the 7x7 website. Including, the latter - "Russians in Estonia did not succumb to the process of" palette ""
In this regard, he finally decided to devote a separate opinion to her.
The task is almost insoluble in front of me - to write a full comment on the propaganda pamphlet. It has a lot of truth, but even more lies. To prove this, you need to write a separate chapter for each paragraph. Well, imagine, you are asked in the newspaper, why did you grind the donuts at the Moscow station in the summer of 1981? You really were at this station that summer, but donuts were not stolen. In order to prove this, you will not have enough life for sure. And when the propagandist in one article will put fifty such episodes, it is easier to spit and forget than to refute.
Therefore, I will not answer all the theses of Julia, I will highlight only a few points and simply express surprise.
"In Estonia there is an unspoken ban on the occupation of posts Russian -speaking."
This is not a lie. This is true. But the truth is thrown so amazingly walking that it becomes something worst than lies. An unspoken ban on the admission of Jews to some universities of the USSR, which, with rare exceptions, spat with a high bell tower, is still used as evidence of how much the USSR was a stupid, terrible, marginal state.
The Estonian ban for the Russian-speaking to be something more than foreigners, Latynina did not cause any emotions. And this is not the lack of position, but the position is brilliantly expressed by the most concise means. Its essence is that wiping their legs on Russians is absolutely normal, there is simply nothing to discuss.
"All the red directors in Russia were excitedly thieves, only in Estonia he was wonderful."
Any sane reader understands that this is a lie. Terry, hopeless. Many of the "red directors" behaved very worthy. When I was engaged in economic journalism in St. Petersburg, I came across them constantly. There were thieves and successful, thieves and unsuccessful, honest successful and thieves, unsuccessful. These were very different people. As in Estonia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Hungary, China, etc.
"And the monument erected by Tallinn liberators, two -time liberators of Tallinn from their own independence"
This, of course, is one of the brightest moments in the work of Latynina. It turns out that in 1944 Estonia was released from independence for the second time. I do not argue about the first. But about the second girl expressed heavily.
"What am I going on? To a" bronze soldier. "It was a carefully planned war."
Who argues. The Estonian government allocated money in advance for compensation for damage to the victims. Of course, planned. That is, people who went to protect the bronze soldier did not yet know that the victims would be. And the show has already been ordered and paid.
The salt of this joke was that the Russians, including veterans, were ready to negotiate at the first stage. There was no categorical rejection of the idea of transfer. But the president has a rating. He needs to prove to Estonian peep at all costs that he has iron eggs. He refuses to meet with Russian and Estonian veterans (not SS, of course) to agree on how to arrange everything with dignity. He rocks the boat, teases, insults. And when the people come to the square, they are very skillfully treated, professionally beamed, and drive into a pre -intended and paid corridor. Everything was planned in minutes. Go on the street to the man and poke it in the kidney or whisper dirty curse in your ear. And then turn on the camera, and remove the plot: "Russian cattle is pounced on a random passerby."
Which, probably, is the most impudent in Latinina’s description, this statement "70% of the detainees turned out to be a criminal past." Salt jokes is that this is not a random figure. 70 percent of the detainees 700 out of 1000 at all had nothing to do with the protection of the bronze soldier. This was stated, not anyone, the senior prosecutor of the Pykha district prosecutor's office, Christel Elista. We are talking about random passers -by who were grabbed in the vicinity of the epicenter of events.
I understand that many will not believe a single word that I said. Their brain is arranged. Political correct. Translated into Russian - politically correct. Therefore, I just propose to get acquainted with the impressions of two citizens of Germany from that night when the criminals decided to contrast themselves with racially impeccable Estonian democracy:
"The citizens of Germany, whom the Estonian police detained on the street and placed in the Tallinn Port terminal D, gave an interview with the Finnish newspaper" Italechti. "The newspaper reports:“ The 65-year-old Klaus Dornemanne and his 37-year-old son Lucas was brutally beaten with batons and hands. Lucas did not feel fingers, but did not feel the finger, but did not feel the finger, but did not feel the finger, but did not feel the finger, but did not feel the finger, but did not feel the fingers, but did not feel the finger. The body is covered with hematomas. The courage of the 65-year-old German, who actively demanded from the Estonian police to observe human rights and a humane attitude towards the detainees, was noted, for which, according to other detainees, was brutally beaten by Estonian police officers. " (rosbalt.ru)
But from the testimony in the case of Donnerman Sr., who for many years drove humanitarian aid to Estonia, including along the Red Cross line:
“The assistants from the Kaiteselitchiki policeman (I don’t know) tried to calm him down. The eldest of the men did not obey their order to sit down ... Officials came to the rescue in black uniforms, black helmets and masks (on their backs - only one word: “operational response”). They used physical strength regarding the German. At first they tried to put it by force with the help of hands. The German did not sit down and began to resist. Then they knocked down the Germans from his feet, he fell, hitting his head against the wall, because of which the wound formed on the back of the head, from where the blood came from. The German tried the wound with his hand, began to scream and show everyone a bloodied hand. After that, the “operational response” put on his hands handcuffs from plastic. For this, force was also used. The German continued to scream in English. The detainees who were next to the German expressed his support and verbally showed their indignation about what was happening. Someone loudly said in Russian: “Why are you hit the old man?”
None of the police officers were punished. The lawyer-analyst of the Human Rights Center Vadim Poleschuk believes that the history of Claus Dornemanne is a typical story of a person who fell into the D-terminal: “Several dozens of such statements were submitted to our center,” he says. - It is unusual that Dornemann managed to achieve a criminal case. Apparently, he was helped by the intervention of the ambassador of Germany. "
I recall an episode from Dovlatov:
“Tolya,” I call Naiman, “let's go to visit Leva Druskin.”
“I won’t go,” he says, “it is some Soviet.”
- That is, how is it Soviet? You are mistaken!
- Well, anti -Soviet. Who cares.
Reading Latynin, you stop understanding - sovereign democracy, liberalism - what's the difference? We are watching rat run, where the rules simply do not exist.
