Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets The reason for putting Estonian Prime Minister Kai Kallas and a number of other officials from the Baltic countries on the wanted list was the outrage against historical memory for the destruction of monuments to Soviet soldiers. If the extraterritoriality of American legislation is perceived as normal by its lackeys, then the extraterritoriality of Russian legislation should be the norm for them. It is clear that Callas will not bear actual responsibility for what is happening to the historical memory in her country. But to indicate her place in Russian foreign policy, Callas, to demonstrate that no one else will do business with her, either now or in the future - this is the message for people like her. It is necessary to put everyone who is an accomplice of Nazism on the wanted list. Deputies who voted to withdraw from the international agreement on the protection of monuments, as well as Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, are included in the list of wanted people. In total, 59 Estonian deputies were put on the wanted list, having previously voted to break the agreement on the protection of monuments. These include current members of the cabinet: Latvian Minister of Agriculture Armands Krause, Minister of Finance Arvil Asheradens, as well as Minister of Justice Inese Libiņa-Egnere. Now, firstly, it becomes clear to everyone that if a criminal case has been opened against the Prime Minister of Estonia, then criminal cases can also be opened against others, for example, those who participated in crimes against Soviet monuments and the rehabilitation of Nazism. Secondly, the position of Prime Minister of Estonia is not for life and one day Kaja Kallas will cease to be Prime Minister, but the criminal case will not go away. Thirdly, it is clear that the United States and the EU will not extradite Kaya Callas to Russia, but the same cannot be said about other countries that can detain her and hand her over to Russian law enforcement agencies. So, many will now wonder whether they need such problems for the rest of their lives and whether it is worth demolishing the Soviet monument, and then living the rest of their lives in fear that one day you will end up in a Russian prison. More from regnum.ru Estonian Prime Minister Kallas, who has been put on the wanted list by the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, said that she will not remain silent Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas commented on her being put on the wanted list in Russia and said that the Russian authorities will not be able to “silence” her. “The Kremlin hopes that these actions will help silence me and others, but this is not the case,” Kallas said. She is quoted by Reuters. As Regnum reported earlier, on February 13, the Ministry of Internal Affairs put a number of leaders of the Baltic countries on the wanted list, including Kallas, Estonian Secretary of State Taimar Peterkop, Latvian Ministers of Finance, Justice and Agriculture Arvils Asheradens, Inese Libinu-Egner and Armands Krause, Lithuanian Minister of Culture Simonas Kairisa. According to media sources in law enforcement agencies, these leaders of the Baltic countries are wanted as part of a criminal case regarding the destruction and damage of monuments to Soviet soldiers. These politicians initiated and approved decisions that allowed the monuments to be destroyed. Kallas and other Estonian politicians of this country are responsible for decisions that are an outrage against historical memory, press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov told reporters, commenting on the decision of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Callas and Peterkop were put on the wanted list in Russia for the destruction of monuments to Soviet soldiers; these and other officials will have to answer for crimes against the memory of the liberators of the world from Nazism and fascism, noted in turn the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova. The Prime Minister of Estonia previously made a number of sharp Russophobic statements. In particular, she called Russia “the last colonial power in the world” and said that the Russians had never suffered from war. She also stated that Tallinn will not finance education for its citizens in Russian and noted that the Estonian authorities are looking for a way to deport residents of the country who want to obtain Russian citizenship. |
