Anyhow, it’s been my somewhat sadly held belief for a while that the USA has actually lost the Cold War by having bought into its own propaganda after the fall of the Soviet Union.

Rogozin is a “loyal” nationalist. He flirts with ultranationalism all the time. He’s a scum, and regardless of my disgust for Republicans, I don’t take anything he says seriously.

Here’s a clip of one of his political campaigns in 2005, after which his party lost registration for xenophobia (that’s in Russia, mind you):

“Let’s clean up our city!”

Earlier this month, the TVTs TV station broadcast a Rodina party political broadcast for the city of Moscow legislature elections. The ad described dark-skinned guestworkers as “garbage” that needed to be removed from the streets of Russia. Surely this was an incitement to racial hatred?

- By no means. The objective was to integrate those people into Russian culture.

By calling them “garbage?”

- It has become really scary in some outlying areas of Moscow, where most people now do not even speak Russian. I personally have been threatened by those people, with warnings like: “Here you are no longer in Moscow.” The ad’s message was, Let’s cleanse Moscow of anyone who won’t integrate into our culture. Otherwise, we’ll have another Paris here.

As for “he told Russian journalists after the meeting that he believed US-Russia relations would collapse if the Republicans ever came to power.” - um, need I remind everyone that Putin endorsed Bush for reelection?
