70 Years to Learn the Lesson

Poland fell in autumn like this. Its Army was unable to withstand such an unexpected and cynical aggression of the united aggressive regimes of Germany and USSR. The ‘civilized’ Western nations closed their eyes and gave Hitler Czechoslovakia. They were to afraid. Great Britain, France – they were afraid of the possible new big war, afraid of the inevitable changes in their lifestyles. Meanwhile, the aggressors just made the preparations. And the partition of Poland became the first action in a long movie.

The divided Europe – especially its Eastern countries – could say big ‘Thank you’ for the Western standards in quieting the aggressive political regimes. They welcomed the Red Army as a liberator in 1945, they drove them out as an occupant in the 1980s. The Eastern Europe nations suffered the most from that conflict and were so happy to return to the democratic standards in their lives.

Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact no more seems to be a warning for the modern Europe. One could notice the same sounds as in 1938 in the EU modern behavior. The comfort of living is a too big seduction. Who will care about a country with a constants mess in all spheres of life?

Today, the representatives of the Ukrainian intelligentsia called for the USA, Great Britain, France and China to convoke an International conference to secure the real guaranties of our country security as the Budapest memorandum doesn’t work any more. They asked the Western countries to be principal when Russia wants to interfere in our internal life once again.

As for me, I have no hope the West will hear them as we know too much examples when history doesn’t teach anything.
