UN outlaws praising Nazis (Baltic states disagree)

[Breedingvariety]

the more laws they pass, the more despearte they get to keep a lid on the big lie.

What is the big lie?

The resolution on "Inadmissibility of certain practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance" was supported by 120 states in the Third Committee of the UN GA. Twenty-two countries – including the Baltic states – said “no” to the document, while 31 UN members abstained.

It's quite interesting that not a single EU member country voted in favour of that resolution and yet the article in the OP chose to focus on the Baltic states as if their votes were exceptionally outrageous

All member countries of the European Union abstained along with the former Soviet republics of Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova, the statement said.

Also, I don't think it's wise to make generalizations for all three Baltic states because Lithuania's situation differs from the other two in that Nazis never managed to raise SS unit there. So, if in Latvia and Estonia there are meetings of war veterans (which, quite frankly, I don't think is something to frown about), in Lithuania there are no veterans and the only pro-Nazi folks are simply either the ignorant things who never bothered to read about Generalplan Ost or masochists with inferiority complex - not that many of them around though, gladly, Nazis are generally regarded just as evil as Soviets.



Anyway, the bottom line is that Nazis being bad does by no means make Soviets good.

Looks like Russia is poised to disappoint apricity's resident pan-europeans

I have very serious personal/family count to Germans but I would never allow to myself to write something like "fuck Germany". Second, if someone of these fuckers would like to say me "fuck Russia" face-to-face, there will be no too strong problems to arrange this (but, since i didnt incult someone from my side - welcome to Moscow then). I fully understand that Finns, Estonians and many other hate Russia but I was surprised that they allowed to themselves such direct insults in this forum.

I believe we are being lied to mind boggling extent. It wouldn't shock me if the holocaust and German atrocities were much less than we are told they were.

But regardless...

look into the issue and see what you can discover.

Ah come on, look at the CONTEXT! People are obviously saying 'fuck Russia' on this particular issue, and the 'fuck you' is directed to the Russian government and those behind this initiative, not Russia as such. And I agree with them, fuck them, interfering in how other nationals choose to commemorate their grandfathers! And I'm the biggest Russophile on the forum.

Of course, it's just political posturing, and nothing TOO serious, but it's still annoying to hear stuff like this from Moscow. I imagine there'll be less and less of it as the War fades out of living memory, though.
