Union of Soviet Officers Gathering Turns Anti-Semitic
10.05.2009
On May 9, the Union of Soviet Officers assembled in Novopushkinskiy Park in Moscow. It was the third rather publicized event of the veterans' organization. In December, an attempt to gather and hold a meeting in the same place ended badly: Head of the Union Aleksey Fomin and his adherents, mainly old war generals, veterans of the Great Patriotic War and the War in Afghanistan, were seized by the special police force. As it can be easily understood, officers did not begin to like local authorities more.
On understanding that they had tried too hard, authorities coordinated the following meeting of officers on February 23. Just then, Fomin's deputy, colonel Boris Yeremenko informed those present that power in Russia was under the heel of David's breed. And owners of this heel are in the habit of pretending to be ordinary Russian lads but he, Yeremenko, knows everything about them. According to him, Medvedev's true surname is Mendel, Putin's one - Shalomov, and Luzhkov's - Katz. At today's meeting, officers have once again emphasized the whole acuteness of Jewish issue. Words masonry', Jewry' and Zionism' have been pronounced by practically every speaker.
It is quite possible that this was not included in combat and political training but, in any case, the officers should have studied the issue before talking on such subjects. During the Great Patriotic War, the Title of Hero of the Soviet Union was conferred to 132 Jews (four of them were conferred twice) and a Jewess - Polina Gelman. From 1941 to 1945, 11,635 people received such awards. At a guess, every hundredth person was a representative of the mentioned Jewry.
May 9 is, first of all, a day when all of us should pay respect to people who won the war. And it should be done irrespective of their rank, number of decorations and, all the more, nationality because it was the USSR that won, not Russia. That is why things happening in Novopushkinskiy Park did not look good. Slogan "Tankmen are drunkards and deserters" at the meeting on the occasion of February 23 would have the same effect.
