Dictatorship of Neoliberalism with Russian Fellow Countrymen’s Eyes Abroad
The anti-Russian campaign being waged by Western nations to suppress everything linked to Russia, its history, culture and language, has brought into sharp focus the true worldview of supporters of neoliberalism. Geopolitical interests have turned out to be more important than the standards and values of democracy proclaimed by the West itself. In the Russophobic frenzy, political strategists are applying double standards and unilateral “sanction” mechanisms in the field of human rights. These mechanisms essentially constitute tools for putting illegitimate pressure on objectionable states and their citizens, and are at odds with the fundamental principles of international law. Since the start of the special military operation in the Ukraine, Russians and our fellow countrymen have faced discrimination on an unprecedented scale in a number of Western countries due to their affiliation with the “Russian World”. With its attempts at “cancelling” Russia, the West has once and for all confirmed the inferiority of ultraliberalism and its inconsistency with the ideals of liberal democracy at a fundamental level. How can we counteract anti-Russian sentiment of political and ideological origin abroad? How can we fight discrimination? Which measures are being taken to help those who have faced various forms of oppression and constraint in the West?
