Russia to Construct American Indian Genocide Memorial in Front of U.S. Embassy
Russia tries to 'history shame' U.S. with reminders of brutal past

Last week it was made known that the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation—a Russian analogue to the U.S. House Committee on Oversight, which has consultative powers—is planning to put forward a proposal for the installation of a memorial by the site of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, dedicated to the “genocide of the American Indians,” according to the RIA News Agency.
“As a state that carried out the highly moral act of recognition of the infringements on the rights of the peoples during the Great Patriotic War [the Russian name for the WW2] and that rehabilitated the Chechens, Ingush, Crimean Tatars and other peoples [of the former USSR that were sent to exile], Russia has the right to call on the United States to repentance. Without repentance by the American society it is not possible to talk about the leadership by the [USA and] the USA would have no moral ground to speak about rights and freedoms of this or other nations.”
Just last summer, for example, during the round-table devoted to the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the U.S., the Speaker of the Russian Parliament and Head of the Russian Historical Society Sergei Naryshkin raised a possibility of creating a special International Criminal Tribunal on bombing of the two Japanese cities.
According to Mr. Naryshkin and a number of other Russian politicians, these bombings clearly constituted crimes against humanity that don’t fall under the statute of limitations.
“The modern-day U.S. administration wants to hide [from the world] not the tragedy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki—this is not possible to do—but the hypocrisy and cynicism of the American leaders of the time,” Mr Naryshking said during the round-table. He added that “memory about this [crime] is as important as the memory of the atrocities committed by both the Nazis and Japanese militarists.”
ロシアで、アメリカ大使館のまえに、アメリカンインディアン大虐殺の記念碑を建てよう、と。
ロシアは、アメリカの原爆投下も、時効にかからない、戦争犯罪だと言っている、と。
要するに、ロシアは、アメリカをその歴史で恥をかかせよう、としているのだ、と。
これ、韓国が慰安婦問題で日本にやっていることと同じ。
韓国は、日本軍慰安婦制度をまねて自分たちが犠牲にした韓国人慰安婦については無視し、しかも、日本はアメリカと違って、謝罪と補償をしているにもかかわらずである。
普通なら敵国にやる、いやそれ以上のことを韓国は日本に執拗にやってきているわけである。
