Igor Aidman: "Gymnasium and Gentiles"

"The gymnasium student Nikolai Testnichenko from the New Urengoy committed terrible blasphemy in relation to the new Russian religion - the cult of victory in the Second World War," writes a sociologist onFacebook in connection with a violent reaction to the performance of a schoolboy in the Bundestag.

“This cruel tribal pagan religion does not tolerate compassion. It divides the world into absolute good (“ us ”) and absolute evil (“ fascists ”), to which everyone who“ resists ”us automatically recks.

Those who are against "us" are not victims. They are obviously guilty criminals. "We", on the contrary, are never to blame for anything. "Our" do not commit crimes. Their boot is holy. And the murdered and raped "our" civilians - "invention" and "asked for them".

The attempt by Tratnikhenko to look at the history of the war in Christianly mercifully (or from the perspective of secular humanism) naturally causes the rampant anger of the brutal priests of the pagan worship of victory. These priests needed a new human sacrifice to the God of the War to whom they serve. And they require the blood of a young freethinker. "
