Let's add the law on Russian genocide in 2021 - Zhirinovsky
Crimean Tatars, Greeks, Bulgarians, and Germans were resettled during the Great Patriotic War, but were not exterminated like Russians.
LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky said this on air on the Komsomolskaya Pravda radio, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Until now, data on the Russian genocide is not published openly anywhere. This was the first genocide, because genocide is when you kill based on nationality, and it started with the First World War, August 1914, Austrian Front. At first they simply killed. But, nevertheless, they are Europeans and it is inconvenient for them, they began to take them prisoner and send them to two concentration camps - Thalerhof and Terezin, where hundreds of thousands of Russians died,” the politician said.
“We introduced a draft law, it lay around for two years, and was put on the agenda forty times. Now they have taken advantage of the fact that the authors of the law have gone to the executive branch (deputy Degtyarev became governor, and deputy Chernyshov works in Rosoobrazovanie), and the committee decided that, since there were no authors, they put it on the agenda according to the accelerated review procedure, they did not warn us, and refused in acceptance. Referring to the fact that this allegedly contradicts the Constitution, because we have many different people of different nationalities, and if we defend Russians, others will be offended.
What nonsense! After all, there was no genocide of the Tatar people, the Yakut people, I don’t know, the Mari, the Chuvash, the Mordovians - it was the Russians who were killed. There were not murders, but displacements, and genocide is declared when people are killed. All the peoples of the Caucasus suffered, but here only the Russians. Crimean Tatars were resettled, but not shot, Greeks, Bulgarians, Germans were resettled, but not shot,” Zhirinovsky said.
“Here we are talking about destruction, and so far this has not appeared anywhere. Even the Duma refused to pass the law at least in the first reading. This caused indignation in us, we will submit it again for consideration in the spring of 2021,” the LDPR leader promised.
Let us recall that earlier Zhirinovsky said that Kyiv had adopted Austria-Hungary's experience in exterminating Russians.
