Rostropovich

Most obituaries were anti-USSR rather than an exaltation of Rostropovich. There was no need to make a big fuss about him, he had served his purpose and his masters well. Even capitalism could not bestow honour and glory to a man who was prepared to sell out his very own Motherland.

Rostropovich was born in Baku, capital of Azerbaijan in 1927 and was a talented musician of some repute. His talents were nurtured and developed by the Socialist system of the Soviet Union. These state musical institutions that he attended to learn his art did not appear out of thin air, nor were they the creation of a very kind-hearted philanthropist. Countless Soviet citizens gave their lives during the revolution and the civil war in order to build these learning institutions. All artists benefited from them, including Rostropovich.

During the Great Patriotic War (WW2) when millions of Soviet citizens were shedding their blood for the good of all humanity, Rostropovich was studying at the Moscow Conservatory, away from death and destruction. Even at that darkest hour the USSR did not deprive Rostropovich of safety and an education.

His cultivation of friendship in high places of the Revisionist Soviet Government after 1953, during 1960’s and 1970’s, secured him privileges and benefits, unheard of by the Soviet people. But he fell foul of his new masters when he supported the traitor Solzhenitzyn’s anti-Soviet tirades. When his revisionist masters got tired of him, they told him to leave for the West. There, immediately Rostropovich offered his services to the new and ruthless master, capitalism. For his anti-USSR actions, his new masters rewarded him with much wealth and many women.

When USSR was being openly destroyed by Gorbachev, Yeltsin, Yakovlev and many other traitors, Rostropovich gladly offered his services. He gleefully played Bach cello suites at the fall of the Berlin Wall and, in 1990 he flew from Paris to stand by Yeltsin’s side during the traitor’s Putsch and the Supreme Soviet bombardment.

To buy favour with the Russian people, after the destruction of the Soviet Union, he and his wife set up a "foundation" for vaccinating children. But Rostropovich had conveniently forgot that in the USSR ALL CHILDREN were vaccinated and not only a privileged few as was being done now. Such dubious, pseudo-benevolent acts were not swallowed by the Soviet people at all, who realize that only Socialism can be relied upon for a better future.

If in Russia Rostropovich was known as Slava, "Glory", he certainly didn’t deserve to be.

The true glory will eternally belong to the builders of Socialism and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics!
