What happened? In terms of , world politics this was an apparently insignificant incident — but nonetheless it caused the Russian autocrat to tremble.
The public’s indifference to the “high guest”, inimical manifestations by Ukrainians, Balts, and Swedes, the placing of a wreath on the tomb of the great Swedish King by the President of the Central Committee of ABN — why did all this so unnerve the Prime Minister of the USSR? So much so that he felt compelled to ask the Swedish Prime Minister in all seriousness whether together with the Ukrainians he was planning to wage war on the Soviet Union — just as Charles XII and Hetman Mazeppa had done.
The fear, which suddenly seized Khrushchov (don’t laugh), haunted him. He himself said so. He was of the opinion that the ghosts had not risen from the dead yet, hut after what he had witnessed in Sweden, he was not so sure any more. He thought that Stetzko, that the Ukrainian, Georgian und Baltic nationalists, who bad been murdered by himself, by Stalin and other Red hangmen in Vinnitsa, in Katyn, in Bazar, in Russian concentration camps, were all finally dead, just like Charles XII and his Ukrainian ally. Hetman Mazeppa. But suddenly he caught sight of these very people in Stockholm again — the very people in whom the spirit of chivalry of Mazeppa and Charles XII had been resurrected. The resurrection of the dead! The anti-Russian manifestations of ABN’s followers and the placing of a wreath on the tomb of the dead opponent of Moscow symbolized the renewal of the alliance between the living of the present and the invisible, but dangerous, spiritual forces of the past. It was just this which so frigthened the chief of the Devil’s cohorts on earth! Phantasy, mysticism? — the “progressionists” would say. Phantasy? – No! Mysticism? – Yes! From the Gospels we know that it was the evil spirits that first recognized their future victor, who was invisible to the masses.
Someone who was invisible wrote the threatening prophecy of the fall of the empire of the Biblical Balthazar … In the proclamations and inimical gestures by the opponents of his monstrous empire, the Muscovite Balthazar encountered a similar threat in Sweden. “Mazeppist”! — that was the gravest danger for the empire of Peter I. “Mazeppists”! — separatists — that was the gravest danger for tsardom and Russian “democracy” during World War I …. “Mazeppists”! — nationalists — that was the gravest danger for Stalin’s empire during World War II in 1941, when millions of Ukrainian soldiers in the USSR laid down their arms and refused to defend their prison . . . Khrushchov knows this and therefore he was so affrighted as he suddenly saw the resurrection of the dead.
These were no “appeasement” people of the timid “Democrats” or of the Socialist Moscow followers of Europe and America — what Khrushchov saw were the shadows of the fearless chivalry of Charles XII and Mazeppa: their spiritual children of the present: the Baltic, Ukrainian, Hungarian and Caucasian emigrants, who just yesterday fought against Russian despotism and today raise their threatening voices in defence of their fellow-countrymen in the USSR. “Moscovia delendam esse”, they shouted into the face of the all- Russian Red tsar in Scandinavia in June of this year.
At the time of the French Revolution, the Englishman, Edmund Burke (whom I have often quoted) — a great, even if undervalued spirit — stated with regret: “The age of chivalry is gone. The age of sophists, economists and calculators is coming.” Today one can say that just the opposite is taking place: the era of the money-theistic sophists, of the godless economists and of the materialistic calculators is coming to an end. The age of a new chivalry is beginning — a chivalry “without fear and reproach”, whose watchword is “God and my right”, a chivalry which is resurrected in the spirit of Mazeppa in Ukraine, as well as in the proud and reserved behaviour of the Swedish hosts towards the Muscovite moujik on the throne of the tsar.
It was this that affrighted the latter! He was frightened by the probability that Mazeppa’s spirit in the hearts of the martyrs and fighters of Ukraine, with the watchword, “the Cross and the Sword against the Devil”, ivould find new allies in the West. Not only among the nations subjugated in the USSR, hut also among the free peoples of the West, who are finally beginning to liberate themselves from the influence of their own “sophists, economists and calculators”. In this case Khrushchov knows that the love serenade of the coexistent and peace-loving Muscovite Mephisto will fall upon deaf ears in the West.
In Sweden, the chief of the God — and freedom-opposed Internationale of Satan suddenly felt that the era of lies, tyranny and fear was approaching its end. Also, that this end will mean the fall of the empire of the barbaric hordes with its capital in Moscow.
