Meet Yevgeny Satanovsky, the head of Moscow’s so-called ‘Middle East Institute’, and a one-time Russian Jewish Congress president. The guy who, while pretending to be a strong champion of Israeli and Jewish interests, which itself most definitely commendable, actually defends the policies of current Kremlin regime, which include support of regimes in Syria and Iran, the former slaughtering its own populace, and the latter engaging in constant incitement against Israel; flirting with ultra right elements in Russian society and political stage, including some openly nazi ones; building for Iran a nuclear plant; suppression of all opposition and simply independent political and other entities in the country, aggressive attitudes and acts against its near neighbors, as well as attempts to forge a neo-Soviet style bloc worldwide, that would include many anti-democratic regimes; and many other highly questionable aspects, including unwillingness to return to the CHABAD its archives still held captive by Russian authorities. As we see, the policies of the ‘masters’ of Mr Satanovsky make it extremely hard for any conscientious Jew to back them up—yet comrade Satanovsky somehow manages to do just that.
He even gets emotional beyond any boundaries, such as most recently in a program at Echo of Moscow, the only fully independent Russian radio station, where he brazenly told a couple Muslim journalists from abroad, to ‘look themselves in the mirror’, and accused both the West and its allies such as Turket, of being main culprits in fomenting the civil war in Syria. No question, we Jews currently got our differences with Muslim world, but to defend a cruel tyrant from a «Jewish’ standpoint is both morally dejected, and extremely unwise; while demonstration of righteous indignation doing it, is a sign of either a heavy delusion or utter insincerity. We are not a nation of disrespectful boors or liars, at least not supposed to be.
Mister Satanovsky has reached the heights of sycophancy and intellectual perversion, operating within the corrupt system of modern-day Russian politics; he is second to perhaps only rabbi Lazar, in serving up to the current rulers of his countrey—even though, and it pains me to say that, Jews are as of yet abundant in its power ranks. Not that I, G-d forbid, think we should stay away from public life, or pursuit of success—my belief is exactly opposite, but only when it comes to a legitimate and democratic system of coordinates. Thou shall not sit at the feast of the wicked; this is the golden rule that our communal leaders and other notable Jews in places like today’s Russia, should but sadly, often fail to follow. And moreover one should not eagerly run BEFORE the dubious rulers and take actual initiative in offering them services. It’s one thing to be forced to interact with evil, but totally different to do so happily and actively.
It is my deep conviction that such figures, or better put their policies and conduct, do no benefit but actually cause great harm to our Jewish interests, in Russia proper especially. Jewish world needs to unequivocally denounce this position.
