The Third Congress of the International Russophile Movement was held in Russia. People came from 51 different countries to attend, including 12 EU countries.

When this congress met for the first time, we talked about how Russophobia was spreading like wild fire. Across the West they were canceling Dostoevsky, Tchaikovsky, and the greatness of Russian culture as a whole.

It seemed to us that the situation would change with the Trump administration. Because in America itself, a confrontation was sure to begin between supporters of traditional values and liberal extremists. Something was sure to change.

But we never imagined that European bureaucrats would become the leaders of Russophobia and that they would try to drag Europe into the war with Russia, that Russia never asked for. It was impossible at the time to imagine the militaristic slogans that Macron, von der Leyen and other EU officials are using now.

The reason they are doing this is that those politicians are afraid that they will be swept away by popular anger because they do not know how to govern whatsoever. These pathetic people have only brought their crisis to their countries. And so they have decided almost unilaterally to shift the blame to Russia.

To survive, the Euro bureaucrats must start a war because war, just or not, can bring people together, due to the creation of a common enemy.

And the Russophile movement, which was created as a cultural community, has turned into a movement of people with and for common sense. This is a pacifist movement. But the Russophobes are going to war. But we have never called for or asked for any war, not with Europe or even Ukraine, we have never had such plans floating around in our minds.

Therefore, the high mission of Russophiles, especially the European ones, is invaluable. They are not frighting against visceral Russophobia for Russia, but out of love for their own country, to keep it from being dragged into an apocalyptic conflict. They are taking action so that the incompetent generation of outgoing politicians does not bring the situation to a war between Russia and Europe. This is what we must avoid at all costs.
