Russia's reaction to major events of early this year that are popular uprising in Libya and the disaster in Japan to suggest that the foreign policy of our country begins to change. Even though our relations with Tokyo crossed their worst crisis in recent years [in November 2010, the visit of Dmitri Medvedev in the southern Kuril Islands that Japan has lost in 1945 but still does not recognize as Russian, a reignited the dispute between the two countries], Russia was one of the first countries to offer assistance after the earthquake in Japan.
Moreover, at a time when the West gets into a difficult situation by challenging the regime of Muammar Qaddafi, Russia suddenly decides to follow him even though his reputation may suffer. Our public opinion associated with the sympathy expressed by the power against Japanese immersed in misery, but with regard to Libya, the state is the main (or only) element of European Russia.
Medvedev's decision to approve the sanctions of the Security Council of the UN against Gaddafi [and especially now, not to veto military action], then the Libyan leader to declare persona non grata on the territory of Russia was taken when the Russian public lamented another bout of forced democratization from Europe and the United States against Libya and Qaddafi continues to consider as "our bastard" theme.
This decision Medvedev is regarded by experts as an important milestone. The chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Federation Council [Senate Russian], Margelov, said that Moscow "made it clear that Russia is on the side of the international community, which in the context of civil war engulfed Libya, supporting the opposition.
" In fact, no need to be an expert to come to that conclusion. Where it would have been logical to temporize, to call for restraint, to look at what did China and Venezuela, Moscow has sharply tuned in the West. A surprise? Not at all. Since the presidential statement of 25 February, saying that any massacre of civilians by the Libyan authorities "would be considered a crime, with all the consequences," it was inevitable that the Kremlin to adopt sanctions.
This statement of Dmitry Medvedev was itself in line with one of his speech posted on his website Oct. 30, 2009. He stated emphatically that the justification for those who are killing their people under the guise of restoring historical justice are unacceptable. An assertion that is not trivial when one considers that the principle "do not pull on his people" has largely been ignored by the Russian Empire as the Soviet Union.
This is happening with Japan recalls what followed the crash of the Polish presidential plane, near Smolensk in Russia in April 2010. Medvedev had immediately declared a national day of mourning and circulated the film Katyn, Andrzej Wajda [on the massacre at Katyn near Smolensk, thousands of Poles by the Stalinist secret police in 1940] on channel Rossia (because, no doubt, this decision was taken at the highest level of our state).
He then obtained the Duma adopted a statement of repentance on the Katyn tragedy and its victims, something quite unimaginable before. The country's leadership, suggesting that human beings could be placed above the interests of the state. In the ultra-nationalist camp, these approaches have been considered as a betrayal of our national interests.
Yet just the opposite. The state has increased the value of the ordinary human being and has now forbidden to settle its problems by sacrificing the "masses". He has forbidden to ignore the suffering of the Poles, the Libyans or the Japanese, just as he did against the peoples of Russia in condemning the Stalinist repression.
Denying that violence is used against the population, reach out to a former enemy who needs help, that's totally new approaches to Russia. I do not know if they have an extension, but in any case have been affirmed. Russia has had enough of being the warder of the world, put a spoke in the wheels and blocking the road to those who want to move on.
Gradually, at this rate, we can again be proud of our country.
