诺贝尔和平奖对俄罗斯意味着什么 地球和平的巨大悖论 作者：MIHAILO S. ZEKIC • 2022 年 11 月 2 日 “T和平奖获得者代表本国的民间社会。多年来，他们一直提倡批评权力的权利，保护公民的基本权利。他们在记录战争罪、侵犯人权和滥用权力方面做出了杰出的努力。它们共同展示了民间社会对和平与民主的重要性。” 因此，请阅读2022 年诺贝尔和平奖网站上的开场序言。在乌克兰战争的背景下，俄罗斯、乌克兰和白俄罗斯的三位获奖者获得了奖项：白俄罗斯人权组织维亚斯纳（ Viasna）主席阿莱斯·比亚利亚茨基（ Ales Bialiatski ）；乌克兰公民自由中心；和纪念馆，俄罗斯最古老的人权组织。挪威诺贝尔委员会于 10 月 7 日公布了今年的获奖者名单。 当然，乌克兰是这场冲突的归零地。白俄罗斯是俄罗斯的盟友，是俄罗斯军队进入乌克兰的发射台。但是，在俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京加大对俄罗斯国内自由的攻击力度之际，将和平奖授予俄罗斯人权组织是值得注意的。 在米哈伊尔·戈尔巴乔夫的领导下，苏联在 1980 年代后期经历了转型。他通过公开政策（“开放”）帮助放松了对人们的政治压力。人们突然有了更多的自由来批评政府。纪念馆是公开的产物. 它由希望了解古拉格制度真相的草根活动家于 1989 年创立。（古拉格是苏联用来惩罚政治犯的强制劳改营。苏联独裁者约瑟夫斯大林特别喜欢用它们来对付敌人。）纪念馆发展成几个分支。纪念国际是伞形组织，纪念人权中心是最大的分支机构之一，专注于当前俄罗斯政府滥用权力。两人都在莫斯科。 这两个分支机构在今年 2 月 28 日被法院命令清算，就在俄罗斯于 2 月 24 日入侵乌克兰几天后。纪念馆的分散性质意味着当地组织可以保持头脑清醒。但是，正如列昂·托洛茨基（Leon Trotsky）曾经对他的对手所说的那样，纪念馆的主要面孔现在都在“历史的垃圾箱”中。 纪念馆在一月份被爱沙尼亚议会的一个派别提名为诺贝尔和平奖。 “每一天，我们都觉得在俄罗斯继续我们的工作变得更加困难，”莫斯科纪念博物馆馆长伊琳娜·加尔科娃 (Irina Galkova) 说。“我们的许多同事不得不搬到国外。[但]我们试图在俄罗斯做我们能做的一切。” 他们坚持了下来。纪念馆的博物馆继续在俄罗斯和国外举办展览。但也出现了重大挫折。例如，政府没收了纪念国际的财产，尽管纪念国际试图将其转移给另一个纪念组织。 作为一个人权组织，纪念馆在莫斯科一直与政府发生冲突。“在 2 月 24 日之前，我们首先觉得自己是当前政权的受害者，”加尔科娃告诉小号。“宣战后，这种感觉发生了变化，因为现在我们觉得我们对这个政权犯下的罪行负有责任，我们无法阻止，目前也无法改变。这是一种非常可怕的感觉。” 这使得诺贝尔和平奖的授予喜忧参半。 “[在获得……我们的奖品后不久]，俄罗斯对乌克兰进行了一次可怕的袭击，这太可怕了，以至于你对获得这个奖品感到高兴，”加尔科娃说。“尤其是当它是和平奖的时候——当你看到战争是多么可怕，它再次[升级]，夺去数百人的生命。” “当你在战争局势中获得和平奖时，”加尔科娃评论道，“你不能对此保持冷静。因为没有平安。你得到了这个奖，但没有和平。在和平成为现实之前，你不能平静。” It doesn’t look like Russia’s war is going to end soon—certainly not in a way that gives peace and freedom to Ukraine. It doesn’t look like Memorial’s situation will be improve, either. Awarding the most prestigious prize in peacemaking right when the situation looks bleak for both Ukraine and Memorial is a cruel irony. And this couldn’t have come at a more ironic time of year. In Russia, October 30 is the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Political Repressions. It was established in 1991 as one of the last acts of the Soviet government to honor the victims of people like Stalin. Since 2007, the Returning the Names tradition, where the names of victims of Soviet repression are read out, takes place outside the Lubyanka, the former headquarters building of the kgb. Natalia Petrova, Memorial’s press representative, stated on October 29: 2022 has brought a new disaster and new victims; people are dying right now and this unimaginable tragedy unfolding before our eyes must be brought to an end as soon as possible. We are convinced that Returning the Names is very much relevant now, reminding [us] of the fundamental unconditional concept of utmost importance: Nothing in the world can be more precious than a human life, and therefore, no government has any right to take a life. It was true in 1937, and it is no less true now, in 2022. The more people will share this idea, the higher the chance that the war will end soon and will never happen again. That is why we invite you to remember the names of those murdered by the Soviet Great Terror. Commemorations like the Nobel Peace Prize and Returning the Names are meant to stop more atrocities from happening. Yet the atrocities keep coming. In Ukraine, more and more names are being added daily. And there’s little to nothing anybody can do about it. This is not the only time the Nobel Peace Prize has raised a few eyebrows. In 1973, it was awarded to American diplomat Henry Kissinger and North Vietnamese official Lê Đức Thọ for ending the Vietnam War. Less than two years later, North Vietnam conquered South Vietnam. In 1994, Palestinian terrorist Yasser Arafat won it. This is the same man the think tank Foundation for Defense of Democracies called “the father of modern terrorism.” In 2019, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed won it for his peace deal with Ethiopia’s enemy, Eritrea. Since then, Abiy has led Ethiopia into a civil war with allegations of genocide. This is the great paradox of peacemaking in the modern world. Man creates awards like the Nobel Peace Prize to celebrate peace. Yet the more mankind tries to make peace—to celebrate peace—to proclaim peace—the more mankind fails. Jesus Christ said, “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God” (Matthew 5:9). Yet man’s efforts to make peace have been anything but “blessed.” As another biblical author put it, “The way of peace they know not …” (Isaiah 59:8). The United Nations is another institution set up to bring peace. Herbert W. Armstrong, editor in chief of our predecessor magazine the Plain Truth, was present at the UN’s inaugural conference in San Francisco. This is what he wrote at the time: Yes, the efforts to form a world peace-enforcing government here are proving, in themselves, a continuing contest, punctuated by constant strife. The firebrand here is Stalin’s top man, Molotov. I’ve attended press conferences here where protesting representatives of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, cry out against grave injustices forced on their people by the overpowering Russian boot. Three million from Lithuania have been torn from their homes and families and deported to Siberia! In a private interview with Constantin Fotich, pre-Tito ambassador to the U.S. from Yugoslavia, I learned that 30,000 small farm owners in Yugoslavia have seen their homes and farms confiscated by Stalin’s puppet government. Some of these remain on their farms as slaves, some have been driven to Siberia—many have been “liquidated”—killed! I do not see peace being germinated here, but the seeds of the next war! Success of the United Nations’ effort for world peace requires complete harmony between the Big Three. But if America and Britain are to achieve harmony with Russia, it is already apparent it will have to be at the cost of justice in the smaller Baltic and Balkan nations and Poland. And if the rights of these helpless millions are to be trampled upon with impunity as the price of peace with Russia, then we still have no peace! It’s interesting that Mr. Armstrong all those decades back put the focus on Russia as to why the UN couldn’t bring peace. The same is true today with Ukraine. It’s clear Putin isn’t going to stop the fighting until he gets what he wants. The only peace agreement Putin would accept is one that still gives him what he wants—control of Ukraine—in an underhanded way. If such a deal comes to effect, as Mr. Armstrong wrote, “then we still have no peace.” It’s a pessimistic view of the world. But until something radically changes—not just in Russia or Ukraine, but in the whole world—nothing is going to change. The Nobel Peace Prize and the UN will be reminders that man’s constant search for peace is fruitless. They will be reminders that, as Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry often says, “there is no hope in man.” Does that mean that world peace will never come? Isaiah wrote that man doesn’t know “the way to peace.” There is a way to peace. It has eluded mankind for thousands of years, but it does exist. In a handful of examples, this “way of peace” has even been implemented in living memory with real, tangible results. It’s certainly an unexpected method of bringing world peace. But it works. And contrary to how hopeless events like the Ukraine war may make men feel, this “peace plan” will bring lasting peace—not only to Eastern Europe but to the whole world. And it will do so very soon.
