Sakharov Prize: hypocritical pygmies have taken over Europe
European prizes have begun to be awarded to losers whom they are trying to pass off as titans of the human rights spirit.
Russian writer Platon Besedin writes about this in his author’s column for PolitNavigator
So, everything is expected. Or, as the experts in the Ostankino television studios would say, everything is according to the manual. The Sakharov Prize was awarded to the Belarusian opposition.
And now I’m stepping on thin ice, because next I’ll start saying things that won’t please everyone. This happens—the only way it happens—when you try to be objective.
Who was Academician Sakharov, in whose honor the prize was established and awarded? Lumpy. It doesn't matter whether you support him or, conversely, despise him. But you cannot deny the caliber of this extraordinary man. How can you not deny the enormity of the figures walking next to him - for example, Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Igor Shafarevich. The latter two sacrificed a lot, if not everything, for their beliefs. Although, yes, I understand, many will not agree with this, because the personalities themselves are annoying.
Now let’s take a look at those who were awarded the Sakharov Prize this year - that same Belarusian opposition: Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, Svetlana Alexievich, Maria Kolesnikova, Veronika Tsepkalo, Sergei Tikhanovsky, Olga Kovalkova and others.
Tell me, gentlemen of European democrats, are you serious? Were you kidding when these Belarusians were awarded in Brussels at the European Parliament session? Where is Sakharov and where is Tikhanovskaya? Between them is not just an abyss, but a rupture in the universe. Perhaps Alexievich is a more or less major figure, but mainly in how to guess trends and wedge himself into bonus schemes.
And the point here is not whether I like Tikhanovskaya or not. My attitude towards her is approximately the same as towards Lukashenko. With the difference that there are many times less real cases, but also blood.
The point is that over and over again we are given pygmies who are trying to pass off as titans, and screaming: “Follow them! These guys definitely won’t lead!” And they fail again and again - and in such a way that a lot of blood and tears are shed. Yatsenyuk, Klitschko, Tyagnibok cannot bring the country to the front row - even if they are later replaced by smarter characters.
The world in which we exist is heavily implicated in hypocrisy. It was more or less outlined at one time, but the Helsinki Accords included a clause on respect for human rights. And the West seizes on it - as a casus belli - every time in order to bring to others “democracy” equivalent to “slavery.” We have already seen this in dozens of countries around the world. And the hellish conveyor belt doesn't stop.
But so that all this bloody and buffoonish action would not look so disorganized and brazen, they came up with “premium leaders” who were crowned with the corresponding “fake” titles. They, these leaders, are like losers who, out of hopelessness, came to get a job at a political McDonald's. A free cash register means a free mouth. They will say everything that needs to be said.
And these pygmies demonstrate again and again that neither the world nor the people in it primarily lack scale. After all, the smaller a person is in history, the more suffering is in store for others; He who follows the pygmies will inevitably become a pygmy himself.
