The meaning of a painting almost 70 meters long depicting the rape of women...

 

On December 16 i wrote a post wondering about the real reasons behind the Chinese patience concerning the fact that Russia has stolen 1 million km2 of Chinese territorhttps://19-pacheco-torgal-19.blogspot.com/2022/12/how-much-longer-will-china-endure-theft.html and since then i have been tracking how this historical event is being brought to life. And yesterday, on the first anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the blog "Democracy Paradox" did mention that "China might demand its territory back from Russia". https://democracyparadox.com/2023/02/24/some-realists-are-unrealistic-about-russia/

Of course, it remains to be seen whether this will happen in the short or medium term, but what is certain is that the best proof that the Chinese have not forgotten (and do not intend to forget) the theft of their own territory is provided by the Aihui History Museum (where Russian visitors cannot enter) that displays a 69-metre-long panoramic painting depicting "Cossacks raping (Chinese) women, driving Chinese into the river at bayonet-point and machine-gunning those in the water" which (not coincidentally) was also recently mentioned in an article published on February 2 in The Economist 

PS - I wonder why scientists in the field of psychology have still not been able to explain the Russian soldiers' obsession with rape, which has reached its extreme, in what is considered the greatest phenomenon of mass rape in all of history, in which almost 2 million German women between the ages of 8 and 80 were brutally raped by the Soviet army, many of whom were repeatedly raped by dozens of soldiers, as I had already mentioned in a previous post from February 23, 2022, just one day before the invasion of Ukraine began  https://19-pacheco-torgal-19.blogspot.com/2022/02/putin-and-greatest-mass-rape-phenomenon.html

Eurojust's first report on corruption - Latvia, Luxembourg, and Malta are by far the countries with more corruption cases


In the context of the recent Qatargate bribery scandal in the European Parliament, it is necessary to put things in perspective and take a look at the European countries with the most cases of corruption. However, as it makes no sense to compare countries with less than 1 million inhabitants with countries with tens of millions, see below the list of corruption cases per million inhabitants according to Eurojust's first report on corruption (link below):

Poland……....….1 corruption case per million population
Denmark…...…..1
Germany…..…...1
France…….…....1
Spain…….….….2
Finland……..…..2
Sweden……..….2
Belgium…....…..3
Portugal…….….3
Ireland………....3
Czech Rep........3
Netherlands…...3
Hungary…..…...4
Austria……...….5
Slovakia…….....5
Romania……....5
Bulgaria…….....6
Lithuania…...….7
Slovenia…….....7
Estonia…….......9
Croatia…...…...10
Greece…...…...11
Latvia…….......29
Luxembourg...31
Malta.……..…..34

PS - Back in 2020 i made an unorthodox proposal to tackle corruption on the grounds of toxicity here https://pacheco-torgal.blogspot.com/2020/07/phd-thesisuniv-of-london-establishing.html

Os resultados da produção durante o biénio 2021-2022, são absolutamente deprimentes, mas muito pior do que isso, não produzem quaisquer consequências, porque no ensino superior Português existe o estranho hábito (leia-se mexicanização) de favorecer, em sede de Orçamento, as instituições que menos produzem, Aguiar-Conraria dixit. https://19-pacheco-torgal-19.blogspot.com/2022/12/catedratico-da-uminho-acusa-governo-de.html

PS - No contexto supra, tenha-se presente que no biénio 2021-2022, a Universidade de Oxford, que recorde-se é menor do que a universidade de Lisboa, produziu mais livros indexados na plataforma Scopus, do que todas as instituições de ensino superior Portuguesas juntas. Tenha-se também presente que o catedrático Português, que mais tem ajudado Portugal na produção de livros indexados, é um catedrático da universidade de Aveiro, que eu já tinha mencionado num post anterior, onde critiquei a Ordem dos Engenheiros https://19-pacheco-torgal-19.blogspot.com/2022/11/os-esquecimentos-da-ordem-dos.html
