That’s an American ritual, not a Russian one. And his American 15 16 17 critics are often stunningly ignorant about 18 19 Russia. Consider, for example, an opinion piece in Monday’s Washington Post by 20 21 22 Terrell Jermaine Starr, entitled “We need to have a talk about Alexei Navalny”. 23 24 Starr writes about Navalny wanting to deport “non-White immigrants from Central 25 26 27 28 29 Asia and the Caucasus,” which contains a 30 31 32 smidgen of truth in the sense that he made illegal immigrants an issue in his campaign 33 34 35 36 37 38 for mayor of Moscow in 2013. But “non- White immigrants from . . . the Caucasus”? 39 40 There are no non-White Caucasians. (There’s a clue in the name.) 41 42 43 If you want a well-informed, sensible 44 examination of Navalny’s ideas, have a look at Masha Gessen’s piece, The Evolution 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 of Alexey Navalny’s Nationalism, in the mid-February issue of The New Yorker. It’s 55 56 57 available online for free. But all this tripe I’m writing, defending 58 59 60 “racists” and all, may just be due to my 61 62 upbringing. I read Dr Seuss’s racist tract “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street” 63 64 65 66 when I was seven or eight years old, and a few decades later I read it to my kids. 67 I suspect we’ve all been tainted by the racist images in that book from 1937. I’m 68 69 70 71 72 glad that the current generation of Dr Seuss 73 74 75 Enterprises has decided to stop selling it outright, rather than some cowardly half- 76 77 78 79 80 measure like just changing the image of “an Asian person . . . wearing a conical hat, 81 82 83 holding chopsticks, and eating from a bowl”. Just as glad as I am to see Amnesty 84 85 86 International cancel Alexei Navalny. 87 ■ Gwynne Dyer’s new book is Growing 88 89 Pains: The Future of Democracy (and Work).
