ワルシャワにできた新しい博物館では、入り口のフロアにソ連国旗を敷いて入場者に踏みつけさせているらしい。プラウダは「足で人の顔や国旗を踏みつけるのは許されない」「ソ連の国旗は第二次大戦の勝利の象徴である」と激怒している。「現時点では軍事的手段について話し合うのは賢明でない」とポーランドを恫喝さえしている。
この対立は、ソ連がポーランドなどの東欧諸国で如何に嫌われ憎まれているかということの象徴であり、ソ連を勝者とする第二次大戦の歴史を悪と見なすという宣言でもある。そして、第二次大戦の勝利を根拠にフィンランドやドイツやバルト三国や日本から領土を奪ったソ連の継承国家であるロシアの領土の正当性も揺らぐことになる。
ホロコーストの捏造問題も、それを利用したのは米国とイスラエルであるが、捏造を行ったのは他ならぬソ連である。今後捏造が国際的に認められたとき、米国とイスラエルはソ連に責任を転嫁することができる。ユダヤ人嫌いのロシアはホロコースト捏造が明るみに出て喜んでいるようだが、それが自国に与える致命的な打撃には考えが及ばないようだ。
Russian national dignity blatantly abused in Polish museums

Shoes on the face or national symbols have never been perceived as a complementary gesture either in Western or Oriental cultures
The situation with Russia's "partner," Ukraine, which still does not know how to prove its so-called "right" to steal the Russian natural gas, seems to hurt Poland. The Poles stand on Kiev's side, of course. As usual, Poland expresses its offence in a very twisted form: the visitors of a new museum in Warsaw were offered to walk on the flag of the USSR.
Poland is not the first country, which practiced the "noble deed" of wiping feet on the flags of foreign states. One can see numerous news reports on TV showing the footage of miserable Palestinians burning, tearing and trampling US flags. It seems that the Palestinian industry has launched the massive production of flags for this purpose so that the people of Palestine could rage at Israel's staunch ally, the USA.
The overthrown notorious Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein had a very sophisticated approach to the desecration of national symbols. As soon as the USA ousted him from Kuwait, Hussein ordered the inlaying the floor of Al-Rashid Hotel in Baghdad with the mosaic portrait of George Bush Sr. It was impossible to walk around the face of the former US president, and high-ranking respectable guests of the hotel had to step on it every day. The story had a sad ending for Hussein: the USA conducted a massive military operation in Iraq in the coalition with some of its allies, in which Poland was included. Baghdad was occupied, US marines destroyed the portrait of their leader in the hotel with crowbars and promised to replace it with Saddam's portrait. Saddam's mosaic face may appear on the floor of the same or another hotel in the future, when the former Iraqi dictator is sentenced to 300 or more years in prison.
Shoes on the face or national symbols have never been perceived as a complimentary gesture either in Western or Oriental cultures. The red banner is not the official flag of the Russian Federation anymore. However, it is the banner of the USSR's victory in WWII. Polish officials continue to demonstrate their inappropriate perception of the events of 1945, which could be seen in May of this year during the Victory Parade in Moscow. The US administration would probably order to launch a couple of missiles on Warsaw at this point, but such measures are excluded in the relations between brotherly Slavic nations.
On the other hand, if Russia actively borrows up-to-date technologies, economic and political experiences from the West, why not learning something about the US version of patriotism? Needless to say that it is a highly serious matter in the "world's most democratic nation." As the US experience shows, patriotism is the national feeling supported with respectable external authority. The latter in its turn needs to be backed up with nuclear warheads.
A few days are left before the night when the clocks strike 12 and the new year begins. It is considered a good tradition to wish everyone happiness and luck on this holiday. A conversation about military operations does not seem to be appropriate at this point. We would like to wish our Polish friends to be healthy and live long and happy lives. At the same time, Russian people would be grateful if the museum administration removed the Flag of the Victory from the floor. This Victory cost almost 50 million human lives.
