Finnish anti-fascists are demanding punishment for Mart Laar about incitement to ethnic hatred against Russians
Finnish anti-fascists are demanding punishment for Estonian politicians Mart Laar and Evgeny Krishtafovich for their suspected incitement to ethnic hatred towards Russians. Laar and Krishtafovich are both personae non grata in Russia and famous for their anti-Russian political views. See below the request for launching criminal proceedings.
For the Police Authorities of Estonia
REQUEST
We kindly ask the Estonian police to investigate a crime defined in the article 151 of the criminal code, “Incitement of hatred”, which has taken place in a way presented in the following.
It has come to our knowledge that activities which publicly incite to hatred and discrimination on the basis of nationality, language, origin and political opinion were carried out in the capital of Estonia, Tallinn, August 23th 2009, in the premises of Estonian History Museum, address Pirita tee 56, from 2:40 p.m. until approximately 6:00 p.m. local time.
These activities of criminal nature included the screening of criminal hate propaganda film material titled “The Soviet Story”, allegedly a documentary film, and a speech by the Estonian politician Mart Laar, clearly insulting Russians by inciting political and ethnic hatred against Russians.
The individual responsible for the crime, in addition to Mr. Laar, is the organiser of the event, the leader of the Estonian organization called “Avatud Vabariik” Mr. Evgeny Krishtafovich.
The entrance to the event at the museum was free of charge. Approximately 30 (thirty) individuals participated in the event.
The film “The Soviet Story” was shown in its entirety as part of the event. The duration of the film is 86 minutes. The film was followed by discussion, during which the incitement to ethnic hatred was continued.
Incitement to ethnic hatred was carried out during the event in the following two ways (see chapters A and B):
A. The contents of the film material “The Soviet Story” as evidence of incitement to ethnic hatred
The film “The Soviet Story” includes the following eight (8) sections which include incitement to ethnic, racial and political hatred against Russians:
1) From the 00 hours 52 minutes [00:52] from the beginning of the film “The Soviet Story”, the narrator says, that Russians and their leaders are guilty for the mass murder of Jews, and that Russians and their leaders (“The Kremlin”) in general deny the Holocaust, and consider the Holocaust as “noble action”, and Russians in general call Jews as “fascists”; The narrator also says the following (direct quote from the film): “Kremlin’s denial [i.e. denial of the Holocaust] is supported by one Western historian David Irving, more famous for his denial of the Holocaust. In today’s Russia these actions of Stalin [i.e. murdering of Jews] are justified at the highest level. The former defence minister – – Rodionov is just one of many in Russia today who believe, that helping Hitler to fight Jews in the 1930s was actually a noble fight against fascism, Jewish fascism, as it is now called in Russia.”
2) [01:00] The film shows images of the Victory Day parade in Moscow, into which other images of executions, piles of corpses and mass graves are added by montage. The Victory Day parade is the most respected national event in Russia. The idea of the film is to say that Russia and Russians admire mass murder. This is actually said in the film.
3) [01:01] The film claims, that famous Russian war veteran Mr. Serov would have received the highest badge of honour for the mass murder of innocent people. In general the film labels all Russian war veterans as mass murderers and blames Russians for admiring mass murder and murderers.
4) [01:07] The film shows images of piles of corpses and executions together with the official Hymn of Russia, which is played as background music. The idea is to associate the Russian statehood with mass murder.
5) [01:07] The film shows Nazi concentration camps and claims, that after the war, the Russians took them into operation again. The film claims, that Nazis would have been “less” guilty and that Russians used the Nazi concentration camps for mass murder. In addition the film claims, that Russians deny mass murder and even continue mass murder.
6) [01:11] Two males speaking in Russian are presenting Nazi salute for the camera while a picture of the Russian State Duma is added into the background by montage. The narrator says: “Nazi salute in the parliament of Russia.” This gives an impression that there would be plenty of Nazis in the Russian parliament and that the Nazi salute would be used there, or that Nazi ideas would be popular in the Russian parliament. Right after this, a video with an alleged beheading and an execution in a forest is shown. In the video, the other victim says in Russian before his execution: “Russian nation
