Leonid Gozman: "If we were a normal country"

"If we were a normal country, then on February 23 it would not be a holiday, but in the afternoon of sorrow and repentance. Seventy -three years ago, the NKVD fighters, who, of course, could not be compared with the SS men - they were with the stars, and not with the swastika - they were killed, sent to the death and suffering of their fellow citizens, the only guilty people and Ingushi." On your Facebook page.

"If we were a normal country, today, on the day of deportation, in all churches, mosques and synagogues, mourning services would be held, and the president of the country would be in Grozny and Magas, kneeling before the memory of the victims. And on television, films about deportation and the fate of those who fell victim to the Imperian would have shut up all day. On this day.

But no! We will not give anyone a reason to drink, congratulate the men and tell ourselves that “we can repeat” that “from the taiga to the British seas” and further along the list. And on TV they will once again say that all around the enemies, that we will soon free Kyiv and, probably, Warsaw and Tallinn - they want it, they are waiting, there are brothers! And so it will be convincing and fun that the people will believe again, and when they change better, it will be too late.

We will recall once again that there is no smoke without fire, that many are oh, many! - The Caucasians went to Hitler and Comrade Stalin was not so wrong when it was evicted. Yes, and the current one can see - came up, the dirt from them is one and terrorist attacks. And they hate us, their nature is like that.

And the next day in the morning we will continue the construction of the "Russian world", a stronghold of morality and good. Well, I will not build this “Russian world” of them. My condolences to the descendants of the victims. "
