Russian mass media: Historian Lukashenka sees no evil in Nazism (Video, photo)

The egregious case which has taken place in Belarus during the match between Dinamo (Minsk) - Vitsebsk football clubs is covered by Russian mass media.

Fans of the Minsk club unfurled a huge breadth of cloth with the portrait of Rudolf Hess, given a life sentence at the Nuremberg Trials. On August 17m 1987 Hess committed suicide when he was in prison, "Segodnya" Russian-based newspaper wirtes.

Rudolf Hess had built a "notable" career in the Nazi Germany: a member of the Nazi Party (National Socialist German Workers' Party), Adolf Hitler's Deputy in the Nazi Party (1933-1941), a minister without a portfolio (1933-1941), Reichsleiter (1933), SS-Obergruppenführer and SA-Obergruppenführer.That was the man whom Lukashenka's fellow countrymen, people living in Belarus, in the land in which one forth of the population was killed during the war with the Nazi, decided to commemorate on his birthday.

It's a savagery, but a predictable savagery. For instance, the ruler of Belarus, who has a diploma of a historian by the way, in his interview to a German newsppaer Handelsblatt on April 23, 1996, stated: "Please believe that the history of Germany is to some extent look-alike of the history of Belarus at some stages. Not only bad things in history are connected with Adolf Hitler. Once Germany was raised from ruins thanks to firm authority. German order evolved over the centuries and attained its peak under Hitler. This is perfectly in line with our understanding of a presidential republic and of the role of its president".

In those years Luakshenka hoped to wriggle of Europe, and was ready to praise anyone. In just a few years he started to refuse to have anything to do with those words and praised war veterans, as Germany failed to offer loans or other preferences to a newly minted admirerer of Hitler, and he could appeal to Russia by recallind common feats of arms.

Greed and lack of principles of the ruler is passed to his subordinates. Policemen who maintained order during the match, did not to lift a finger when they saw a banner with the Nazi criminal. It is not ordered to interfere with the Nazi, what if the Nazi would agree to give a loan to Lukashenka, then they himnself would unfurl the same breadth of cloths, the Russian newspaper concluded.
