The Eternal Brotherhood of Russians and Serbs (Video)
A
very informative and touching story explaining why Serbs and Russians have
historically been so keen on each other and remain so today

The murals shown here are from the Serbian city of Novi Sad and they have been made in remembrance of Lt. Colonel Oleg Anatolyevich Peshkov, the Russian airman shot down by the Turks over Syria. |
Throughout
their history, Serbs have been known as “the little Russians from the Balkans”
not only because of their common Slavic roots, language, common Orthodox
Christian religion and culture, but because they have overwhelmingly been on
the "same side" for the last five centuries.
Serbs
and Russians were allies in the fight against the Turks from the 17th to the
19th century and in the First and Second World Wars. Russia also supported
Serbia during its 90’s fight to preserve its territorial integrity, by not
recognizing the Albanian regime in NATO occupied Kosovo.
During
the civil war in former Yugoslavia, the West not only armed Croats, Bosnian
Muslims and Albanians, together with the help of some Muslim countries (in
particular Saudi Arabia and Iran), it has also engaged in anti-Serbian
propaganda, demonizing the Serbs in the Western media. Something similar is
happening nowadays with the mainstream media propagandistic attitude towards
Russia.

Currently,
Serbia has a close relationship with Russia, even though it’s a formal
candidate for the EU membership. That’s why many EU countries are suspicious of
Serbia, seeing it as a potential “Trojan Horse” with a right of veto
within EU. Serbs are also not very enthusiastic about joining the EU, and the
current pro-EU government knows that Putin is popular with many voters, who
still see Orthodox Christian Russia as Serbia's protector.
Russia
has given low-interest loans to the cash-strapped Serbian government, and
Serbia has been a staunch supporter of (canceled) South Stream, a Gazprom
project that would bring Russian gas to Central Europe via the Balkans, against
EU opposition. Serbia enjoys a free trade regime with Russia as well with the
EU, trying to position itself between east and west. Finally, Russia has
established a “humanitarian centre” in the strategically important southern
city of Nis. Many EU and US officials fear it could become a Russian military
base.
Unfortunately things look very bad for Serbia at
this moment. The economy is in a free fall, 95% of remaining companies and
banks are in the hands of Western companies/banks, industrial production is
close to zero, there is 30% unemployment, a foreign (Western) owned media
monopoly, and wide-spread corruption and moral decay.
Fortunately, according to the newest surveys, the
vast majority of young Serbian people are increasingly "resistant toward
the path to the EU," enforced by the Serbian pro-Western puppet
government.
