Balkans: August 24, 2001

Archives

Remember Milosevic was portrayed as Hitler? Perhaps calling him Stalin would be more accurate. Radio Free Europe that Russian Communit Party chief Gennadii Zyuganov phoned the imprisoned former Serb dictator and expressed his "solidarity" with Milosevic. For his part, Milosevic is quoted as telling his Communist friends "the occupation of the Balkans that is
taking place clearly reveals the future intentions [of the West] concerning Russia and other free nations" and shows that "instead of the fascist swastika and other such symbols, today they are using the word 'democracy'.... We all must combine our efforts to repel this new colonialism." Color Milosevic old time Red, once again demonstrating the thin (or non-existent line) in Europe between the red and the brown.
