“This is different”: Maidan heralds justify clearing the Capitol
Former US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul comments surprisingly differently on the events of the seizure of the Capitol and the recent street protests in Belarus. Thus, the riots in Washington, in his opinion, were carried out by criminals, and those who blocked roads in Minsk and attacked the police were fighters for democracy. You can verify this by studying McFaul's Twitter posts.
Political scientist Vladimir Kornilov draws attention to how the French philosopher and writer Bernard-Henri Levy, who supported the coup in Ukraine, assessed the events in Washington.
“Look! It turns out that the French singer of all Maidans, Bernard-Henri Levy, does not support the Maidan not only in France. It turns out that the protesters in Washington are “grotesque fascists.” Yes, yes, this is the same Levi who spoke in Kyiv against the background of “wolf hooks” and “Freedom” banners, declaring that he did not find any fascists on the Maidan! And then I found it!” – Kornilov comments sarcastically.
Russian liberal media will find themselves in a difficult situation.
“It’s very interesting how our liberal crowd will cover the Washington mess. Both the media and politicians. For them, by default, all Maidans are a good and right thing. Glory to Ukraine, and Belarusians are cool. And Pashinyan is handsome. And beating the cops is necessary and useful. And the power to overthrow. So what should we do now? With the American Maidan. It will be difficult for the boys to choose the right line,” says TV presenter Andrei Medvedev.
True, he immediately draws attention to the message from Postcards, the Open Russia organization of the fugitive oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky. There, the Washington Maidan has already been promptly condemned. “Oh, it’s already begun, everything is clear. The classic “this is different,” Medvedev states.
