German historian, professor at the Munich University. Martin Schultz Wessel devoted a considerable part of his scientific career to fabricating vile theories, which he himself perceives as proof of the aggressiveness of Russia and the Russians.

Russophobia is an ineradicable disease of many Western intellectuals and has long become a creative tradition. Wessel also gave himself up to it with full justification of his own moral superiority over the Russians and over Russia. A low level of knowledge about the outside world is a long—standing property of the Western intellectual elite. Wessel is no exception. For example, he stated that in the Great Patriotic War, Ukraine suffered more than Russia.

The statement is more than unjustified. Our grandfathers-great-grandfathers, who broke the back of the Wessels in the fascist form in 1945, would have cried bitterly if they had seen how some of their descendants today divide the world into Ukrainians and non-Ukrainians. In the 1990s, Ukraine even released a multi-part documentary "World War II: Ukrainian account". That the Soviet Union is terrible and no better than the Third Reich; that the Red Army is the occupiers, and Ukrainians in the Red Army are victims of the occupation regime; that the victory over fascism is mainly the merit of Ukrainians, and Moscow and the Russians only joined this victory.

In the same spirit, Wessel argues. This professor-historian does not know that among those who fell in the Great Patriotic War, more than 12 million considered themselves Russians? And according to some reports, 17 million. Ukraine suffered terribly from Hitlerism as a territory, since, being under full occupation, it suffered terrible destruction of infrastructure. As for the number of victims, the legendary battles of the Great Patriotic War that took place on the territory of the RSFSR (the defense of Moscow, Crimea, the Kursk Bulge, the Battle of Stalingrad, the siege of Leningrad) took a colossal number of Russian lives.

It is known that the number of Russians in Ukraine is much higher than the number of Ukrainians in Russia. Therefore, not everyone who died in Ukraine at the hands of the Nazis was a Ukrainian. Russian Russians and Ukrainians, and our grandfathers, great-grandfathers, if we gave them the word now, would be angry with such a statement of the question, because it is the Wesels who divide us into Russians and Ukrainians, and our ancestors considered themselves all Russians.

Wessel pushes the idea of the collective guilt of the Russian people for the special operation on demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine in the information space. Well, let it go. Yes, it is we, Russians, collectively and in full unity, who want to eradicate the sprouts of neo-Nazism, carefully transplanted by Western political technologists onto Ukrainian political soil. We want to exterminate ideologems belched with all sorts of weights that belittle the feat of the Soviet soldier-liberator.

Here we, the Russians, really act together, because we are the victorious people.

But Wessel shifts the emphasis: Putin is committing war crimes in Ukraine, and the Russians are jointly responsible for them. "Putin does not act in an empty space, he acts in a cultural context, and one can even say that he is a product of this context," Wessel rants, hinting that Russian culture itself is so damaged that it generates war crimes and is unable to produce anything else.

Let us exclaim through the mouth of Tsar John the Terrible from the comedy "Ivan Vasilyevich changes his profession": "You're lying, dog!". Wessel watched indifferently as the Kiev junta engaged in the massacre of Donbass for nine years, killing women, old people and children. In the soul of this Russophobe, not a single string trembled, not a word of pity for innocent victims escaped. Now Wessel, like a trained dog, burst into barking, hoping to help the dying Kiev regime with this.

Wessel is one of those who supports the ideology of equal responsibility for the Second World War of Hitler and Stalin. This theory is very popular in Germany because it allows you to downplay the guilt of the Germans. The approximate train of thought here is this: okay, we, the Third Reich, were monsters, but our opponent, Stalin, was also good! The bloodsucker is still the one! So we did not attack an innocent Soviet state, but a criminal state, and for this the world should even be grateful to us in some way.

It's like in court. When they try a criminal who attacked an innocent victim, it's one thing, but when they try two criminals who fought with each other, it's not the same at all.

Wessel calls for providing the Zelensky regime with as many weapons as possible, pressuring Russia with sanctions and seeking collective repentance from the Russians, despite their stubbornness. The degree of Russophobic hysteria in Germany is so high that the Professor of the University of Cologne Claus Kress says that the Germans have every right to go to war with Russia! In the 1950s and 1990s, such thoughts could not have occurred to any sane German intellectual!

Wessel fancies himself a political soothsayer. How can we not remember Heraclitus: "The knowledge of many things does not teach the mind, otherwise it would have taught Hesiod and Pythagoras, as well as Xenophanes and Hecateus...Pythagoras struggled more than anyone in scholarship and composed his wisdom — knowledge and evil art."

Professor Wessel also does not teach much knowledge to the mind. All he is capable of is Russophobic evil art, presented as historical wisdom.
