My response to the Russian liberals. Why Zelensky Right by proposing the event to cancel the issuance of visas to the Russians

Sergei Fursa Columnist, investment banker Russian liberals are outraged. They are outraged by the fact that the President of Ukraine suggested forbidding them into civilized countries because it is not so liberal. And without respect for the great Russian culture, ballet and especially for Dostoevsky's work. Let's take ahead immediately. It is not said that political refugees from Russia should be pulled back to Russia to get to prison. No.

It is really strange that, for example, during the Second World Einstein, they were sent back to Hitler's Germany. It would cost both him and American science. This is not rational. These are tourist visas that are still received by the Russians. And it is abnormal. Why? Just because it says that everything has happened. It seems that Russian citizens living in Russia pay taxes and support Putin, in no way guilty. They do not bear any moral responsibility for creating the Russian army on their behalf.

If the Russians remained in Russia and do not oppose the regime, they compromised. This means that even if they are morally suffering from war, they still found arguments for why they should stay. And no matter, it's a mortgage, a good job or even an old mother. This is a compromise they went to. They decided that it was more convenient for them to take war. And they have to pay for this compromise. The nature of sanctions is dual. They are either or are there. They can be non -ideal.

They may seem unfair. But their nature is always dual. You either enter the restriction. Or do not enter them. And we can consider our world unfair, but then then we will call the world where the country begins war and genocide against another people, and they will not be about it. This world will be much worse than the world we live in. How would Russian liberal-democratic party call such a world? Where you can do anything. And then everyone lives as if it had not happened.

The issuance of tourist visas to the Russians implies that nothing has happened. It seems that citizens who came to shopping to Milan, on the waters in Karlov Vary or delicious wine in Tuscany are not related to the country that has sold the cruel war. Despite the fact that with a probability of more than 50%, these citizens support a brutal war. It would be very cynical. This is still very cynical, because visas are still being issued. Do you need to promote brain leakage from Russia? So.

Is it necessary to help those who oppose the war and want to escape from repression? So. These are useful Russians. Not good, but useful. And such people who will publicly declare that they do not want to live in a fascist state should be issued. Give them a refugee status. Because it is fair. And because every such case weakens Russia. But not exactly when someone, having earned money within the rules of Putin's regime, goes for a short time to relax to the hated Europe.

If the Russian has compromised with the fascism of his country, he deserved a maximum of holidays under the salars. And then temporary. It's fair. And with respect for great Russian literature. And so, Dostoevsky has a novel. "Crime and Punishment". Russia is committing crimes. And it is strange if he remained unpunished. So this decision is just in the spirit of great Russian culture and great Russian literature. Russian liberals dream of free Russia of the future.

So, they need to take an example from Germany. Which has passed the atonement. Atonement of their sins. And she took collective guilt and collective responsibility. Russia will have to take responsibility for the annexation of Crimea. For the war in Georgia. For genocide in Bucha. For murder in Olenovka. For the destruction of Mariupol. And this list is endless. And until they realized that all this crime that needs punishment, they will not have a chance to change their country.
