The results of voting in the parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), Russia has fully regained the range of possibilities in this pan-European Institute.

Valid, and Not the passive voice - returned to itself, and Not returned to her - the best to describe the role of the capital of Russia in the events of the last days. Although technically she was the entity about which made the decision other, in reality, Russia acted as a key character, whose position in a greater measure, And ensured the current outcome.

That is, dissatisfied And outraged with the outcome of right about this claim, accusing the Kremlin That he got his blackmail, pressure And arm-twisting. In their eyes the situation is aggravated by the Fact That one-sided (Which emphasizes) the main concessions international "violator of democratic norms And the aggressor," went leading human rights institution on the continent.

Because no state, even with the strongest political movement for the abolition of anti-Russian punishment, never allowed until now. Yeah, about the confrontation with Russia, almost all have forgotten, the interaction is restored to full growth, launched a number of strategic projects. But already taken punishment carefully extended And even sometimes a little bit, even if absolutely cosmetically, expand. Actually there is Realpolitik with all its inherent pragmatism And cynicism, But with formal adherence to declared principles, And saving face.

against this background, the Council of Europe, whose main mission And raison d'ö?tre - to serve the uncompromising democratic And human rights ideals, And openly humiliating caved under the cheeky, authoritarian Moscow that openly spits on the European values, norms And rules.

And For what? For the sake of a frankly insignificant in the global scale of funds in the amount of approximately 70 million euros. So much Russia owed to the CE in the two years of conflict That has brought the organization to face severe budgetary fall.

Just cynical-the financial aspect is the basis of the harsh comments on the issue of what is happening. The head of Estonia named PACE adopted the decision " a disgrace ", the head of Latvian foreign Ministry is " absolutely wrong ", and the Georgian foreign Ministry is " sad ". Expected And natural the most rapid was the reaction of Ukraine: from numerous indignant statements by politicians ( "consensus of conscience" performed by Ukrainian foreign Minister Pavel Klimkin can be considered the most soft And discreet review) before the recall of the Ukrainian Ambassador to the Council of Europe And voiced threats to leave the organization.

If viewed from Russia, these financial circumstances can be considered a restoration of justice And a manifestation of irony. Participation in the COE structures for many years causes serious public frustration in the country, so How is it That we voluntarily And for the money involved in Russophobic Sabbath, where they are subjected to endless humiliations And insults.

Well, now it turns out That for the same money Europe is ready to tie their Russophobia And go for a noticeable pullback from the claimed positions. The situation is nevertheless significant, taking into account That Russia's return to PACE for the first time in a long time, attracted a widely attention in the world. Besides, despite all the smoothing And softening even the most loyal Strasbourg the publications of the Western And Russian liberal media transparently reads the idea That Europe is, in essence, sold their ideals And values for Russian oil and gas money.

Surprising that What happened is interpreted as an anti-Russian forces As another mine laid by the Kremlin under the whole system of European democracy, And As part of the ongoing hybrid war against the West.

Major contributors to the capital of Russia opponents called, first, the bureaucracy of the Council of Europe (which - here is a disgrace - he finds it impossible the functioning of the organization And its structures without adequate funding), and secondly, the authorities of Germany And France that had made substantial public And behind the scenes effort to push a conclusion on the return of Russia in PACE. It is worth Recalling That in the last days, And Angela Merkel, And Emmanuel macron, And the truth told about the support for the move. Besides, If the Chancellor was somewhat vague in the wording, The French leader expressed much straighter, Which caused an ecstatic experience in Kiev.

More interesting was the balance of power in the voting. In the group of consolidated anti-Russian were only five countries - the 3 Baltic republics, Ukraine And Georgia. The delegation even conducting consistently Russophobic policy in the UK, Sweden And Poland split (albeit slightly), on the contrary Authorized the remaining More than twenty countries took the position that it is difficult to call differently As a Pro.

There are, of course, it is impossible to refrain from malice: the old Europe in their geopolitical competition with Moscow for many years diligently cultivated Russophobia in the post-Soviet space And in five cases, have achieved such impressive success That she has lost the supervision over them. Because with the Ukrainian, Georgian And Baltic stance " Baba Yaga against!" neither Brussels nor Strasbourg, or Paris or Berlin, despite all their resources And levers now do Not have the opportunity to do.

What about Russia, then it can burn itself into an asset new very major foreign policy victory, which is nevertheless significant, taking into account That the struggle was "foreign" And extremely unfavorable to the Russian capital field.

Well, If we talk about "mine" for European democracy, Moscow something in truth consistently And consciously undermined - But Not Western rights And freedoms, democratic values And ideals, and the claim of the West to unconditional moral rightness And superiority on this basis, over the rest of the world.

And Then the success And the truth is obvious.
