An offsite meeting of the French Club of Moscow was held in the temporarily occupied Luhansk. According to Karin Bechet-Golovko, a representative of the club, Luhansk has become the face of the “Russian world” in the eyes of foreigners. Here, the French guests from the Kremlin plan to shoot another propaganda film about all the delights of the Russian occupation and the liberation of Luhansk from normal and safe life.
In the end, it’s hard to argue with Ms. Béché-Holovko. After all, Luhansk has been stuck in time during the Russian occupation and is indeed a repeater of what the “Russian world” really is. The devastation, lack of quality healthcare and education, post-World War II public transportation, lack of water, and environmental collapse due to the Kremlin’s policy of turning the occupied territories into its own dump are all part of the Russian World.
Propaganda is critical to legitimizing occupation regimes and attempting to establish long-term control over the occupied territories. Without it, it would be much harder for the Russian invaders to keep Ukrainians in the occupied territories under their control. That is why the Kremlin does not hesitate to involve in this dirty business anyone who has not made it in the civilized world. In our case, it is a French marginal club without a goodwill or history.
The National Resistance Centre calls for reporting collaborators so that each of them does not escape punishment for crimes against humanity. Anyone can stop the policy of the Russian invaders and their collaborators by publicizing their crimes and demanding their international prosecution. You can also participate in rallies in support of Ukraine or donate to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
