Russian games

Russia is notoriously playing its own game, where lies are truth and historical events can be altered. One example of the latter was seen when the Supreme Court of Karelia, a region belonging to Russia, officially declared the actions of the Finnish army during World War II to be a war crime and genocide.

Interestingly enough, the cases that were brought up have also been addressed in Finnish courts - long ago - and 213 people were convicted, 22 of whom were deemed lacking full understanding. On the other hand, neither the Soviet Union nor Russia has ever held a trial concerning the treatment of Finnish prisoners of war in their prisons during World War II.

Perhaps these two facts distinguish the rule of law from a criminal dictatorship. Where the former holds its own soldiers legally accountable for mistreating captured prisoners, the latter sees no need for such actions under any circumstances.

Or has my esteemed reader heard of any Russian soldiers being brought to justice for the crimes they committed in Ukraine over the past couple of years? No? Neither have I.
