The head of the Russian Constitutional Court Valery Zorkin has accused the United States of violating international standards of the United Nations and compared the rhetoric of U.S. President Barack Obama to that of Adolf Hitler, the RBC news agency reported Wednesday.
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the world community has been in deep military, political and economical crisis due to the rupture of the bipolar world and the establishment of the U.S. as the world’s single superpower, according to Zorkin.
“In the post-Soviet period, the United States has constantly ignored UN standards, just like Nazi Germany ignored the League of Nations,” Zorkin was quoted as saying by RBC.
U.S. President Barack Obama’s speeches increasingly mention the exceptionalism of America and the American people, Zorkin said, while its internal propaganda and foreign policy are aimed at building up the country’s military power.
“Any unbiased and educated man would see in Obama’s statements almost verbatim quotes of leading propagandists of the German Third Reich, including Adolf Hitler,” Zorkin said, RBC reported.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
