Well, a bad thing has happened in Russia. Vladimir Putin has signed into law a bill criminalizing “the public rehabilitation of Nazism,” and this, probably, includes an outlawing of Holodenial.
The law imposes fines of up to 500,000 rubles or up to five years in prison.
From RBTH:
The relevant amendments have been made to the Russian Criminal and Criminal Proceedings Codes. The Rehabilitation of Nazism article has been added to the Criminal Code.It reads: “Denial of the facts established by the international military tribunal for trying and punishing the main war criminals from the European nations of the Axis, approval of the crimes established by the said verdict, and the spread of knowingly false information about the Soviet activities during the Second World War, coupled with a public accusation of committing the crimes established by the said verdict, will be penalized by a fine of up to 300,000 rubles or imprisonment of up to three years.”
Tougher sanctions are proposed for the same in the event of an abuse of public office or mass media, “as well as an artificial creation of the prosecution’s evidence.”
Though I have done some defending of Putin, I will not defend this. I will, however, say that this means something much different in Russia than it does in the West, and try to explain that.
Firstly, and most importantly, the winning of the Second Word War has a very positive influence on the perceived national character of the Russian people; it is a huge part of the national mythology, and a point of pride for the Russian people. Given this, I wouldn’t expect Russia to take a hardline pro-NSDAP stance at any point, ever. Even the National Socialist organizations in Russia celebrate the victory over Germany. In this sense, it has little or nothing to do with Jewish pressure that Nazism would be condemned, and everything to do with the pride of the Russian people.
We see that part of the focus is on not allowing discussion of Soviet war crimes; this is clearly to prevent demoralization of the Russian people.
I will also say that the wording is much more fair than that of Anti-Nazi laws in Western Europe, and that this could not be construed to allow the imprisonment of defense lawyers, as happened with Sylvia Stolz after she defended Ernst Zundel in Germany.
It appears that Putin does not care to support historical revisionism, and it is hard to see why he would care, as that is a Western issue. The Holocaust was never used as a battering ram against the psychological stability of the Russian people, in fact in was used in the opposite manner – to make them feel good about their achievements in the war.
Beyond this, there is nothing I can say. I find it sad, and it demonstrates that Putin is indeed more of a pragmatist than an idealist. Though I don’t think there was ever any real doubt about that.
I will finally say that revisionism has been important to me personally because of the effect that it can have on the present. I have never viewed it simply as a matter of justice for the historical Germans, at least not with that as an end in itself. In the West, an abolishing of Holocaust mythology means an abolishing of the Jewish power structure, which is almost entirely justified by this lie. It also means an abolishing of the nonsensical lies about the nature of race, politics, economics and society which have been built up by the Jews around this mythology of Hitler as the embodiment of evil.
In Russia, things are different.
Pre-emptive Prevention Methods?
We saw that in the Ukraine, the Jews (EU and US) used a “Neo-Nazi” type organization to attack and overthrow the elected authorities. It seems to me that the present fear of the Russian authorities is that a similar fake nationalist type revolution will be used to overthrow the Russian state, and similarly suck it into the Western Jew system. Thus, this new law is likely aimed at combating this very real threat of using the nationalist energy as a weapon against the established order.
I still sincerely view Putin as a man who believes in his people and wants the best for them. But it is clear that he would rather compromise than risk losing control. The question then is: how much is he willing to compromise?
The fact remains that the US and NATO would be involved in wars in both Syria and Iran if it wasn’t for the personality of Vladimir Putin, and this is no small thing. The way he is standing up against the West in the Ukraine is no small thing either. These moves are, of course, made to protect Russian interests, but a man who is willing to stand up for the interests of his people is a man who is to be respected, regardless of his views on WWII history.
So, I will still be supporting Putin’s actions when he stands against the Jews and stands up for his people, and I will still be denying the Holocaust.
