Russia's political independence has become a threat to the collective West
Russia should not be indignant at the double standards of the West, but should assert its right to its own norms and standards.
A PolitNavigator correspondent reports this, Komsomolskaya Pravda writes.
It is noted that the West swallowed the extrajudicial destruction of three opposition channels in Ukraine, but at the same time reproaches Russia for the alleged lack of freedom of speech, which causes bewilderment in the Russian Federation.
“Russia is a political pacer in a Western-centric world, always striving to run in its own way and fight off the herd. Therefore, she is condemned because others, who know their place in the herd, are forgiven. The West's hostility towards Russia is the price of its political independence and, at the same time, the recognition that we are a threat to it.
The words “enemy” and even “enemy” have already been spoken in our direction. So why should we be outraged by the “double standards” of the West? Otherwise, our Western “partners” will not perceive us. Maybe we should just accept: they have one standard, we have another. Then the evaluative schizophrenia of “double standards” will disappear,” the author believes.
At the same time, he draws attention to the mistakes made by Russia in the recent past.
“We must admit that at the end of “perestroika” and in the “holy” 90s we ourselves rushed as fast as we could toward “universal values.” Selflessly trampling on morality and ethics created by our ancestors, they rushed to try on the dress of the “civilized world.”
Either there was no suitable size for us, or upon closer inspection this dress turned into rags? After all, the core of “universal morality and morality,” as most of us believed, is in Christian values, which were preserved in Western countries and which were deformed by the communists in our country, making morality a class category.
Although, for the sake of fairness, the “Moral Code of the Builder of Communism” was, to put it today, an atheistic remake of the Ten Commandments. But there is no need to explain where the advanced West drifted from them in its hedonistic and gender quests. And there are few hunters among us who share his “new morality,” the article notes.
“We simply state: in terms of moral categories, there is no longer any unity between Russia and the collective West. This means that there are no “uniform standards”, there are different ones. But there is no unity, and therefore no common standards, on socio-political issues,” the newspaper summarizes.
