“I have closely followed the work of this EU structure and am shocked by how low-quality propaganda it disseminates,” notes the author of the publication. – The organization dealt with the Russian point of view on topics such as, for example, the illegal coup in Ukraine with visible traces of Western intervention in February 2014, NATO expansion as a threat to Russia, comparisons of events in Crimea (referendum and secession) with the situation in Kosovo. All these opinions were called misinformation and contrasted with the truth.
But if the answer is so simple, then what to do with a number of Western scientists who share the same opinion as Russia - Professor John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago, Andrei P. Tsygankov of the University of San Francisco, Professor Richard Sakwa ( Richard Sakwa from the University of Kent. The EU working group must ensure that these experts on Russian history and social relations are fired for spreading pro-Russian disinformation.”
“It’s time to admit that the EU working group is spreading counter-propaganda and simply shut it down,” the publication urges. – We can even start by recognizing that there are different views of Russia after the fall of the Berlin Wall: an expansionist aggressive empire spreading lies about the good West to create the preconditions for attacks on neighboring countries, or a new power, authoritarian but non-communist, in search of its own identity, its place in the system of international relations.”
“If we continue to support the Russophobic version of history, we will exclude for ourselves the possibility of calm and reasonable relations with Russia,” the publication summarizes. “We risk finding ourselves in a state of constant tension in the face of new wars, including civil wars like the situation in Ukraine. And we will push Russia straight into the arms of China. But on the day when there is open conflict with the world of Islam, it would be nice to have a Christian power on its side. And for this we need to get rid of Russophobia.”
