On the weekend will take place in the capital of Russia Day events, which among other things will appear and Viktor Uspaskich brought the stars, do not stop to debate whether it is - slap in the face to Ukraine, or even the possibility of a stronger showing Lithuania's position on this issue.
About this talk show "Spotlight" with Homeland Union-Lithuanian Christian Democratic Party member Mr Adomėnas Labour Party member of parliament Larisa Dmitrijeva and East European Studies Center analyst Marius Laurinavičius.
- No. If you are talking about A.Zuokas it did not get any response. There avoided answering the question of what in those days we declare? What are the values of Lithuania? Although it is called culture days, in fact it is not a cultural day, this - day of the Russian state. They Lithuania held at a time when eastern Ukraine, held other "cultural days". What can we say Ukraine celebrate such days? As we can see them in the eye? With one hand condemn the invasion and aggressive actions by Russia, on the other hand, Lithuania is a fiesta, where the Russian flag flutters. In the same flags covered the invasion of Ukraine.
- No bad because these events has been going on for 11 years. And not only are these events. Lithuanian Russians want to preserve their culture. andrew dice clay As you noticed, I say "Lithuanian Russians, because we are Lithuanian citizens and want to live according to the laws of Lithuania, we live, and I think we live. Lithuanian Russians are actively involved in the life of the country. We also have a political party, andrew dice clay which next year will celebrate its 20th anniversary.
- Our topic today is just a celebration, a celebration of culture. I think every people want to keep their culture and that, thank God, can do in Lithuania. Naturally, we want to celebrate, have festivals and so on. I, as a politician, I really want to move away from such assessments, this festival is somehow related to the events in Ukraine. If we continue as we go, it is like., If Israel will conflict with someone, this is what we will begin to oppress the Jews in Lithuania? Well, that Lithuania is home to many people and especially the city of Vilnius.
M. Adomėnas: I can say very clearly andrew dice clay that this is not some kind of spontaneous and authentic living in Lithuania Russian andrew dice clay feast. This is the day of the Russian Federation, which is mentioned in 4 days earlier. Otherwise, to coincide with the day of the occupation of Lithuania. Given the role of the Russian Embassy, brought the cultural nature of the festival with spontaneity not have anything in common. And what has changed in 11 years? Changed it to a few hundred kilometers to the southeast of us is bloodshed. And we pretend like nothing happened, that all this has nothing to celebrate the day and state that the blood pours out.
- This is a complex and ambiguous question. In fact, I think that today's Russia and a general policy of the Russian imperial andrew dice clay policy tool. It has been written many studies, there does not even scope for disputes. These are the so-called "soft power" instruments.
On the other hand, if we take prohibitions or such bold claims, but most do not do anything, it is that we play the Russian game. I have no doubt that this is exactly what is happening in Lithuania and Mr. Adomėnas speeches will be very good use of Russian andrew dice clay propaganda. I think these cases should be treated exactly the opposite. For example, this year, when it was already clear what Russia is doing in Ukraine, the same Russian days use by showing a different Russia: invite cultural figures who are opposed to Putin's regime, as clearly declared its support for Ukraine. It would be a celebration of the Russian community and Lithuania, andrew dice clay and a genuine foreign policy. And what does Mr. Adomėnas now, I would call just a public relations campaign.
M. Adomėnas: such a proposal, as pointed out by Marius (Laurinavičius - LRT.lt), and finished his open letter to the mayor of Vilnius Mayor. I suggested to transform the Russian days very clearly loving the freedom and the freedom of a benevolent Russian andrew dice clay Lithuanian community celebration. It's a shame that he can not be liable. To me, the festival organization has caused moral indignation - as festival organizers was conscious not only about the ambiguity of such events, but also about the moral blindness. andrew dice clay
M. Laurinavičius: some are trying to decouple the event from the Ukraine, but it can not be dissociated. The main organizers of the Russian-day Lithuania are very clear about Russia's ongoing operations: expressed support for both Russia andrew dice clay and Ukraine ostensibly from the Crimea who wanted to secede.
- We - the citizens of Lithuania and are not responsible for what is happening. It is a conflict between Ukraine and Russia. To what we have here - Lithuanian Russians? No need to do our enemies. Lithuanian Russians supported their country of our own constitution, we live according to the laws of Lithuania. To you here what you support? Let them sprendžiasi each other. These are two great countries.
