The Russian action "Immortal Regiment", transformed by the Russian authorities from a social initiative into an instrument of propaganda, has reached the point of absurdity: it is even spread to the Arab Emirates.

This was written on its page by the columnist of the Moscow bureau "Radi Svoboda" Elena Rykovtseva.

The journalist cited the replica of Nikolay Zemtsov, co-chairman of the so-called Movement "Immortal Regiment of Russia" - an official state organization that intercepted the initiative of activists. On the air of the First Channel of Russian TV, Zemtsov stated: "The Immortal Regiment" is expanding. It has already embraced both the near abroad and the far abroad. He has already come to the United Arab Emirates ".

The savagery of this idea is to attract the citizens of the country to the celebration of the victory over the Nazis, which adhered to neutrality during the Second World War (and some sheikhs cooperated with the Nazis), not to mention the distribution of the St. George ribbon and the demonstration with portraits of the dead soldiers - struck Rykovtsev.

"I'm certainly not able to figure out how the Emirates are concerned about this.

I only know that the participants of the march after it is finished there definitely do not shine "front hundred grammes", - she joked.

In the comments, users were indignant at the absurdity of the idea and explained why this action is absolutely impossible in the UAE.

As reported by the "Observer", in the Russian Federation after the action "Immortal Regiment" portraits of people who participated in the Second World War, were in the trash.
