Last Saturday, "brown" around the world celebrated Hitler's birthday. Rumors about the upcoming mass performances of neo -Nazis, fortunately, were not confirmed - maybe due to the fact that the police were in a state of increased combat readiness. Nevertheless, what was happening on this day and in the days preceding him makes a clear diagnosis of the state of society. About this - reports of our correspondents from different cities of the country.
Our skinheads, celebrating Hitler's birthdays by the bitius of compatriots and foreigners, are not alone. The ghost wanders around Europe, a sign of neo -Nazism. The Roman Pope Pius XII, Vatican theologians say, expelled the Devil from Hitler several times a day in absentia. Not succeeded. On the continent "play Hitler" - everyone in their own way - children and adults, intellectuals and marginals, nationalists and democrats. The word "Hitler" Czech newspaper "Lidov Novina" takes into the headlines of seven articles of one decade, although we are not talking about crimes of Hitlerism. Nor the authors of the German six -part film “Hitler’s Women”, nor the Prague Television, nor the magazine who advertised the series with the Susal photo of the Fuhrer, who kisses the ladies of the pens with the swastikas, would not agree to recognize the connection between “historical and educational activities” and fourteen -year -olds from the Czech city. Domazhlitsy. The girls distributed hundreds of aircraft with a swastika among peers, painted the class with greetings "Sieg Heil" and childishly touching confessions: "Adolf Hitler is our leader." And what is the connection? The film appeared later.
However, more than once they have already “enlightened” in a similar way ... and in the fact that the Czech from the region’s border from the Germany decorated his “Skoda” symbols “SS”; that his fellow countrymen reeded his hands in a fascist greeting not somewhere, but in Buchenwald; that the new German Nazis (like Hungarians, Poles) come in crowds to the Czech Republic at the "international concerts" of the Skinedov groups, sing racist songs and flaunt in T -shirts with Hitler's portraits - in all this, too, there are no guilt of those who widely wide the secretary’s memories of "a pleasant elderly gentleman who spoke a friendly and quiet voice, Looking into the eyes: "Child, do not be afraid. You cannot make as many mistakes as I am. "
I also read the article "On a visit to Hitler", one of the dedicated to the Hotel-Luxe in Bavarian Oberezalzberg, where tourists sold photos of the Fuhrer and the Blondi shepherd on an alpine background, show the surviving Bunker Hitler and his vegetarian menu ... Myths about "good uncle Adolf" rejoice Exposition of Hitler's campaigns. After all, the Wehrmacht’s exhibition in Berlin was accompanied by a procession in the center of the city of the three thousandth column of neo-Nazis from the National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD), glorifying the Nazi army. Will Oberzalzberg turn with a new hotel into Mecca of neo -Nazis? Those who want to “stay with Hitler” will be found not only in Germany and Austria, but also in England, where twenty thousand racist crimes are recorded annually; In Hungary, where ultra requires the rehabilitation of the fascist prime minister of Bardossa, on the conscience of which, among other things, thousands of tortured Jews. Pilgrims not to occupy in Poland, and in the Czech Republic, and in the mother of Russia, more and more like the "third neo -Nazi Rome". If Rome will be remembered, I will say that not far from it, in the restaurant of Arten, fascist melodies are sang under the portraits of the Duche, and where he was born and buried, in Prezeppio, skinheads in black hoods stand in the guard at the coffin.
Czech skinheads attack mainly gypsies. Laws allow racists to put in prison, and some are planted (local Fuhrer Persiyimil Pekhanets for the murder of a gypsy, the father of two children, received thirteen years old), the chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Stanislav Gross said that he would no longer endure the tricks of the skinheads. Anarchists beat with them, but everything is one for the police - that the left extremists, that are right, and the point is not only in the courts. Czech society, as elsewhere in Europe, is not ready to resist the new plague. Maxim Liberty covers his eyes. In Germany, out of fear, to infringe on freedom for the third year, they cannot ban the NPD party. After failed attempts, they finally approached the process in the Constitutional Court, but the misfire came out: among the witnesses, a former employee of the Secret Service of the GDR was discovered. This turned out to be enough to lock the process. If the pause is delayed until the fall, the batch of neo -Nazis will be able to participate in the elections. The contradiction of democracy and will in the struggle against the revenge of the Nazi also manifested itself in the case of Mikhal Zitko, who published the book of Hitler "Mine Campf" in the Czech translation. The scandal in the press dispersed the demand for it from five to one hundred thousand copies - a giant circulation for the Czechs, here and ten thousand - a bestseller.
Zitko was accused of promoting racial hatred. The circulation was arrested, one court supported the charge, but the other - the publisher justified, the final verdict is as follows: a fine of two million kroons (about 60 thousand dollars) or a prison. They wrote a lot about this, protecting the right to publish and read anything. You can’t stop the prohibitions on neo-Nazism. And what will you stop? Zyutko was convicted of the propaganda of fascism, and not for the publication of Hitler’s book, which, as the writer-antifacist advises, the Nobel laureate Gunter Grass, could be released even in Germany, where Mine Kampf was prohibited, but only with detailed comments. And in Prague, having sought up income, they tried to let the "Bible of Nazism" into the people, as they say, naked. Nevertheless ... The verdict, journalist Martin Weiss writes, "meaningless and bad." Not only because it leads to censorship. He believes that Zyutko was convicted under an article dating back to the Cold War, when expressions such as "fascist atrocities" flashed in the textbooks. These "bloodthirsty phrases", according to Weiss, helped the communist regime "legitimize its post -war violence" and "feed the horror story of revanchist West Germany" ...
The murder and appeal of tens of millions is nothing more than communist propaganda?! Let's leave it on the author's conscience. But how to relate to the "Bible of Nazism" in the context of a steep wave of followers? The journalist does not see the connection! Self -reflection by an ideological dope, he is sure, is not punishable, like the collection of Nazi uniforms or "admiration for the art of the popular Nazi court cinema L. Rifenshtal."
They returned to their circles ... When the shaft -headed in T -shirts with a portrait of the Führer scream “Haile!”, It is bad, dangerous, but the “game of Hitler” of intellectuals has nothing to do with racism and neo -Nazism ... However, I like the position of those who do not find much difference between verbal and physical terror. The roots of the infection should be sought in the political and social problems of modern Europe, where the grains of the "positive canonization" of the mass killer find their soil.
