Norwegian people's choice: Russophobia? A permanent feature of the policy of the West

Russophobia has become an integral part of Norwegian policy for example and the West in General, the people's elected Parliament, the head of the movement "No to EU" Stein Orhei.

Anti-Russian propaganda into the heart of the Norwegians in the 19th century and Since then, and there remains, He says.

in his article for the Norwegian newspaper Arnha writes that in his country, now there are calls to spend more money on the armed forces as if due to the fact that the Russian Federation can " capture it ".

Ornia emphasizes that statements about the "threat of Russia" are often supported by reference to the Ukrainian conflict. Formally, says Norwegian people's choice, Russia and in truth has violated the norms of international law, taking the Crimea in his own composition, but, From his point of view, it was necessary to understand how dangerous the situation creates the West, putting into question the rights of the Russian Navy base in Sevastopol.

Norwegian people's Deputy believes that what is happening in Ukraine is a tragedy, the blame for which lies in the 1st turn on local policies. He notes that the West has also made and continues to make - own a significant contribution to the fact that the country is in the midst of chaos.

"We allowed to talk about Ukraine's possible membership in NATO, which involves American troops on the southern border of Russia," He writes. Arnha adds that Western politicians, "infesting" Kiev during the Maidan protests, have only exacerbated the situation.

review of Orrhea, nor for Norway or other parts of the Western world, Russia is not dangerous. To accept this, we must realize that the foreign policy of the Russian Federation is not based on ideology, and on the history of the state. For example, the Russian perception of the Second world war " closer to historical truth than the West.

against this background, continues people's choice, "doubly tragic" that most Western politicians boycotted the event, timed to the 70th anniversary of victory in the great Patriotic war. From the perspective of Orrhea, it is disrespectful to the history of other countries, the most considering that in Norway alone, according to his statement, the Germans forcibly killed more Russians than the Norwegians.
