French Gypsy Hunt Sign of New Nationalism in Europe

Leonid Mletchin, Mosk. Komsomoletz (in Russian) | September 14, 2010

Russians today are sympathetic to the French move to expel the gypsies. ++ “Being a nationalist is fashionable now, even though it was considered inappropriate behavior for a decent fellow not that long ago.” ++ What we are witnessing in Europe today is a new form of Apartheid. ++ Russians for example are ready to die to keep the North Caucasus in the Russian Federation, but do not wish to see Ingush or Chechens live in their cities. ++ This cynical new nationalism shows “that German fascism was not merely an accident of history.”
