Moscow calls on UK’s Foreign Office to stop engaging in provocations – MFA
Moscow has called on the UK’s Foreign Office to stop engaging in provocations. This is how the Russian Foreign Ministry reacted to a recent statement of the British colleagues about plans Moscow is allegedly making regarding Ukraine.
“The misinformation spread by the British Foreign Office is another evidence that these are the NATO countries, led by the Anglo-Saxons, that are escalating tensions around Ukraine. We call on the British Foreign Office to stop provocative activities, stop spreading nonsense and focus on studying the history of the Tatar-Mongol yoke,” a representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry told TASS.
Earlier, the UK’s Foreign Office issued a statement that the Russian leadership is considering a possibility of installing a pro-Russian government in Ukraine and former Ukrainian MP Yevgeny Murayev may head this cabinet.
The british have long been even more Russophobic than even the USA. Liz Truss is perhaps even more bellicose than her predecessors to show her power. Her speeches in Australia have been inflammatory and full of lies. Sending weapons to Ukraine in a situation impossible to calm by violence is irresponsible as well as based on lies. In a country that spent a year (2018) on fantastic novichok tales which have never led to any explanation of the apparent Russian counterproductive behaviour and died with no resolution, this is just an expanded version of the Brutish (sic) warped mentality toards international relations.

Right. Britain has stirred up Russophobia as far back as the Crimean War, then during the so-called Great Game in Central Asia. Even Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first head of state, wrote in his memoirs that he still had not entirely overcome the anti-Russian fear the British had instilled in Indians during the Raj.

Stalin was bad PR for Russia.

He died 69 years ago. And he wasn’t a Russian. Nine years after Hitler died West Germany was welcomed into NATO, the “alliance of democratic nations.”

After the war new battle lines were drawn. Us( the west)vs. Stalin,Mao Communism. Stalin went in short order from being the “good” guy that defeated the Nazis to the new “bad” guy. Even though he was Georgian he ruled the USSR for decades and was a ruthless tyrant. The Iron Curtain , the Cold War and North Korea are part of his legacy. He was an easy target not to like and help stoke anti Russian sentiments.

Can you think of any other one individual who could have brought the Soviet Union victory besides Stalin? Maybe Trotsky? Or Kirov? Certainly not Kerensky.
