Legal plug for Berlin

Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets.
Attempted lawfare, which won’t succeed. As of 2022, there were only about 280,000 Jewish Holocaust survivors still living, compared to no doubt millions of former Soviet citizens, an unaffordable number even were the German economy not suffering from the recent accumulation of idealistic government regulation decisions. Another issue is that the Soviet Union was first an ally of Nazi Germany, then warring against it; the fortunes of the Soviet populace were the result of war between the two evil nation states, both with a history of murdering large numbers of their own citizens and those they conquered.
Russia demanded that the German side officially recognize the blockade of Leningrad and other crimes of the Third Reich as acts of genocide of the peoples of the USSR, sending a diplomatic note to the German Foreign Ministry

The Russian Foreign Ministry also drew attention to the fact that humanitarian payments from Germany are made exclusively to blockade survivors of Jewish nationality (the Germans pay monthly 375 euros to Jewish blockade survivors). The Russian side views this practice as discrimination based on ethnicity.
Certainly a convenient view for Russia…
But still, the main thing is Germany’s response, whether it recognizes these actions as genocide or not. If not, then there will be an accusation of continuing Nazism; if so, then Moscow is preparing a multi-hundred-billion-dollar bill for genocide for Berlin.

Russia puts a legal plug on Germany. Very serious in terms of the consequences of this or that decision and very beautiful in terms of execution. Failure to recognize Russia's demands could very quickly put this country in a failed state.

Such a demand should be sent to everyone who participated in the siege of Leningrad. Finland, Spain - exactly.
Tit for tat, my dear Mr. Chernovec. What will Russia pay, as the descendant of the Soviet Union, to all those nations who suffered at the hands of the revolutionary Communists for nearly a century?
According to the Genocide Convention, to be guilty of genocide, a state or person must have had a proven intent to destroy another “ethnic, national, racial or religious group” “in whole or in part.” In order to be punished, it was not necessary to achieve this physically, it was not even necessary to kill anyone, it was enough to “subject the group to living conditions aimed at its total or partial physical destruction” or “cause serious bodily or mental harm” to members groups.
Don’t forget the East Germans when doing that accounting.
Typically, those who carry out genocide do not leave documents or written evidence. But in the case of the Germans, everything is perfectly documented. And therefore, the prospects for such a business are already on a solid basis.

I would like to separately note that if anyone thinks that I imagine that Germany will pay something there, they are mistaken. Germany's tactics are now clear. They will not even recognize genocide. And they won’t admit it, trying to hide behind a pile of verbal husk. In Germany and other countries they will once again understand which side their current leaders and their vassals are on. Their leaders never learned any lessons from World War II. This means they can step on the same rake again. And with the same consequences.
What lessons have the Russians learnt from their escape Soviet rule? Hypocrites.
