Mejlis member called Russian Crimeans “moral monsters”
The sacrifices of Hitler’s collaborators from the UPA and the “forest brothers” were not in vain - both Western Ukraine and Lithuania can boast of being “cotton wool”-free territories with the smallest Russian population.
An extremist and Mejlis activist, Aider Muzhdabaev, who fled from Moscow and against whom a criminal case has been opened in Russia, stated this on his video blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“In Lithuania, since it was a state with the most serious state traditions, before the restoration of independence in 1918, a fairly strong and very motivated army was created there.
When you understand that 22 and a half thousand Lithuanian soldiers and officers went into the forests and fought there until some sixty years, and everyone died, and those who did not die went to the Gulag for a long time. They fought without any hope of support from the West, which swallowed all this, which, although it did not recognize it, de facto built relations with the Soviet Union, they fought for their land.
But this armed resistance, bloody, absolutely hopeless, but desperate and brave, saved Lithuania from the influx of half the Russian-speaking population. Therefore, in Lithuania there are 13 percent of the Russian-speaking population, of which ethnic Russians, in my opinion, are second only to ethnic Poles,” said the propagandist.
“So, they tell me: “The fox brothers are very similar to the UPA” (the forest brothers are very similar to the UPA - ed.) - that’s what I wanted to say about this, speaking about the Lithuanian army. So, the UPA also went into the forests - and in these same years. And just like that, almost everyone died, and those who did not die were sent to the Gulag and suffered and died there. The same thing happened to the Lithuanians,” added Muzhdabaev.
According to him, the fate of Lithuanians is similar to Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars.
“Because there was deportation. Yes, they didn’t deport all the Lithuanians, like all the Ukrainians, but they did everything to make sure there were fewer of them, they cleared the lands of our peoples... So, both the UPA and the Lithuanian army were, of course, eventually drowned in blood, but their struggle, their war, their terrible sacrifices - it was not in vain. Therefore, Western Ukraine is also very anti-Russian for the most part, with a clear understanding of political priorities, and less vulgar.
Because it’s clear what they did to the East and South – famines, then settlement. I’m not even talking about Crimea, this is a replacement of the population. And fewer Russian-speaking people came to Lithuania, these colonists who are now being brought to Crimea - the same moral monsters who are ready to live on foreign land in other people’s houses,” says the Mejlis member.
