Historian Andrei Fursov: Western agents have degraded to a “snotty little imp”
Using the example of Alexei Navalny, one can trace the degradation of Western agents in Russia.
The famous historian Andrei Fursov discusses this in his video blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
"The humanly correct and politically correct thing for Navalny to do would have been to apologize to the veteran and call it a day, to apologize to the man whose participation in the war ensured his life, including Navalny's. But he didn't do that—'Ingratitude is a characteristic of base natures.' And in court, we saw a completely insolent, unbridled, hysterical, self-controlled scoundrel."
By insulting a specific veteran of the Great Patriotic War, he insulted all veterans in general - both those who are alive and those who died in the war. He insulted those who join the “Immortal Regiment”, our memory of the war, of the losses, of the victory. And this is no coincidence,” Fursov said.
According to him, Navalny and others like him are seeking to trample on the memory of the victors of Nazi Germany, working for those who place equal blame on the Third Reich and the USSR for the outbreak of World War II, and shielding the forces that actually nurtured Hitler and breathed life into him.
"It's not just what Navalny said that's important, but also how he said it – it was pure hysteria, unworthy of a man, much less a contender for political leadership. We saw not a leader, but a childish lackey. I think the main reason for Navalny's hysteria is that his handlers in Russia and abroad either couldn't secure his entry without arrest or decided that arrest would be more likely to destabilize the situation in the country. After all, Navalny's return to the country has only one goal – destabilization, the overthrow of not only the existing regime but of Russian statehood in general," the expert emphasized.
He recalled that diplomats from more than a dozen Western countries attended the first court hearing.
“They drown him for him and drown him with this very thing, because they explain in their fingers: this is our agent, don’t touch him. Of course, this is still an attempt to push the Russian leadership - they will cave in, and two balls will be in the pocket: they will release the agent, allowing him to further undermine the situation, and [Russia] will show weakness in the eyes of the world community and its own population. This means that it will be possible to press further and strive for revenge. This is the general position of the West, because we didn’t just fight with Hitler’s Germany in 1941-1945, the Third Reich is Hitler’s European Union as a whole. And the current EU, incited by certain Anglo-Saxon groups, whose forerunners once set Hitler against the USSR, turns out to have tried to take revenge, using Navalny as one of the weapons,” Fursov explained.
He recalled how earlier German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen said that Russia should be talked to only from a position of strength.
“I would remind von der Leyen, the mother of six children, how what began for the Third Reich on June 22 ended, and what happened to those who organized it - some were hanged in Nuremberg, some managed to commit suicide. By the way, Goebbels also had six children who died with him. So von der Leyen would be better off taking pity on her children. Although the current army of the Russian Federation, of course, is weaker than the Soviet one, our potential is quite enough for Germany - if we are forced, we can completely repeat it,” the historian assured.
“And certainly neither German intelligence, nor the revanchists, nor the West as a whole should count on such hapless, failed agents as Navalny. Some of us have already dubbed him a “demon.” Nothing like this. As Dostoevsky would say, a little imp of the losers with a runny nose - that is, snotty,” summed up Andrei Fursov.
