managed to kill me and i survived. back in august of only fell ill on board a plane from tomsk to moscow after an emergency landing he was rushed to hospital where doctors insisted there was no evidence of poisoning. but 2 days later of all me was airlifted to germany for treatment there experts confirmed he had been poisoned with soviet era nerve agent nova chuck sense then the opposition leader has been recovering from the attack and investigating who was behind it. he even got an alleged member of the hit squad to confess by calling him posing as an aide to a top f.s.b. official the agent said the team had put the poison in of all these underwear the kremlin has denied any link to the poisoning but the vuln insists it was ordered by president vladimir putin himself now and of all news facing arrest on his return authorities say he's breached the terms of a suspended sentence he received in

a 2014 fraud trial but not only says it's just another move designed to scare him off without success. the air until he was at berlin's airport as a potted he told us why the opposition leader is returning to russia despite the risk involved in of all me has never really minced words he always intended to go back to russia i mean he is one of the most prominent figures of the russian opposition in large part because of his organizational efforts online in his media work and in social media i mean he's attracted a huge following especially among younger russians and a lot of it centers around his anti corruption foundation which has really gone after members of the russian government who they choose of misappropriating in public funds now that work is very hard to organize from abroad and you know of course there is also this opinion you hear quite often in russia that it's very difficult to be a russian pop politician outside of the country and just to look at other opposition figures like michel hard to close the opposition aligned oligarchy after

an extensive prison term was forced to go into exile abroad now he quickly lost his stature among the opposition in russia and i think alexei navalny want to avoid that fate which is part of the reason that he intended to go back today i think this really needs to be understood as kind of a pressure campaign directed at vladimir putin i know it's an evolving is kind of undertaking this gambit because he wants to put the man in the kremlin under pressure because really putin the situation is kind of damned if you do damned if you don't if he doesn't react if he doesn't take some type of measures against the likes of on the when he comes back he runs the risk of being viewed as weak in russia and that would come at a time when his own popularity in the popularity of the government is starting to wane on the other hand if you were to actually jail not only when he comes back well you know that could awake new sympathies for alexina all in the end maybe boost his popularity back home so of course concerns about his overall safety are going to be on the mind of alexina volney but this is a calculated risk he seems willing to take. i was

a nationwide curfew of 6 pm many have grown accustomed to stricter measures. we had the day a bit earlier to go and see friends earlier it's not much of a change it's more of a question of doing things really are good that's the only difference. i'm not an expert but i suppose if so many scientists agree on that i mean it must work. and as people rush to finish their shopping thousands of police were on hand to give fines for those breaking curfew. 2400 police officers were mobilized throughout paris to ensure proper implementation of these curfew measures and their respect by the population. the virus has killed 70000 people in france and while infections have remained steady at around 20000 per day hospital admissions continue to grow.

trenches a very. horror stories about the african soldiers savagery made the rounds on the home front as a result the germans were awaiting their french occupiers with no little trepidation during these days many germans saw people of color for the 1st time in their lives you know let me think as you were you can well. until just before world war one there was no question of deploying black soldiers in europe then an officer named shall march on wrote a successful and controversial book in 1000 tam called force the black force where he said the senegalese rifleman are good soldiers they've proven themselves in africa why should we deploy them in a war in france it was clear that france was afraid of germany in 1914 germany was a stable rich powerful country with a population of $65000000.00 and there were only $39000000.00 french to stand against them it was a foregone conclusion that the relationship was completely lopsided and that france

was doomed to defeat militarily so they needed to find soldiers and sharman job propose that they rely on an immense reservoir of african true also. isn't one of the go. on m.t.v. and other propagandists were during the war they were already publishing propaganda warning that the french colonial troops would cut off the ears of german soldiers and wear them on strings around their necks that they were barbaric and acted like animals and were being ordered to do so by their french the period. stories like this and all these fears were already being whipped up anyway now their focus was simply redirected onto these colonial troops in the rhineland island and then of course there was also deep seated racism that wasn't just confined to the germans the idea that troops from north africa senegal and vietnam were now in a position of power over the german civilian population well that was

a reversal of the established colonial hierarchy wasn't it that these colonial subjects could now exercise authority over europeans who had once been colonial masters themselves but was perceived as extremely humiliation. in the. b.m.t. cation of kaiser vilhelm the 2nd whom the conservatives revered as a symbol of national identification on november 9918 merely compounded the sense of crisis. village chinaman one of the social democrats leaders rushed to declare the end of the old order. run out.

but the fledgling republic was in danger from. the outset because what was old and rotten hadn't really disappeared in fact quite the contrary the guardians of the old order became the fellows of the new democracy they rejected the idea of the weimar republic and above all repudiated what they called the shameful versailles treaty and those who in their opinion were responsible for it the german social democrats who signed it. he marched 1920 general votto for loot fitz led the army in an unsuccessful push to overthrow the democratically elected government of chancellor gustav power. in response french troops and then occupied cities east of the rhine as well moroccan regiments marched into front for

a colored french colonial soldier attacked 16 year old factory worker gatorade am from corrosion as she was crossing the dylan oyster shell railway line on her way home. soldier grabbed the frightened girl by her hands threw her in the ditch and held her mouth closed to prevent her screaming. when i thought back he bit my finger and wouldn't let go. he peered into the flesh right down to the bone sucking the blood out so that it ran down from his mouth. in the spring of 1920 it seemed as if overnight an army of african rapists paedophiles that set out to systematically defile and dishonor german women girls and boys. the outrage over the allegedly barbaric conduct of the french colonial troops on german soil boiled over into bizarre and festering images. of the

world here we can see an african with deformed lips who almost looks like an ape beneath a french helmet and when you turn the coin over you see a german woman found to a martyr stake at the show and that is the erect penis of a black man topped by a military helmet these were the sexual obsessions of the black shame campaign this piece is a typical example of black training propaganda which was very wide ranging we can't imagine how powerful the propaganda was today but enormous amounts of money were invested in it brochures were translated from english dark swedish french spanish and american english and so on there were post cancer illustrations posters medallions and. even made films about it if you move forward to new sources you take.

the lead via videophone from. the company when we consider the role though. women and women's bodies in this campaign and it's important to understand that most women who are not really victims of men black men who were colonial soldiers are but the promoters of the campaign in many cases men consciously stylised them into victims beyond vice or white european men needed this spawn they were the authors of brochures the writers of novellas and books who subjected women to their own male fantasy is a violent brutal bestie all sexual compulsion i mean my decision sex will intervene it's not just money those weren't the lusts of these black soldiers they were the violent sexual fantasies and the men who made up these stories one minute. because she was. of course some colonial soldiers did carry out isolated attacks but

these assaults had nothing to do with skin color nor were they a problem confined to the colonial troops but it was depicted that way it was with augustine. the many europeans already had the concept of black shame in their minds before the 1st colonial soldiers ever set foot in the rhineland the idea that black men are a threat to white women that their sex drive a stronger that they're unable to control their desires and that they come from primitive races those ideas were already widespread. the protests against the presence of colonial troops on german soil didn't just come from nationalistic or racist circles. high ranking politicians supported that opposition to your can as nick fresh green beauty called poor will try to console

a classical political historical standpoint but on the other hand the question is why this campaign spread and appeal to so many other people declare war time defeat was viewed as a failure of the military leadership and the monarchy but also a failure of german soldiers although this was not recognized open late the black shame campaign didn't want to admit that campania. done so the blame for the defeat was projected onto the participation of african soldiers and it's a classic case of transmission if you wish or in a class or toggled suited to. the leaders of the campaign wanted to publicize reports of mass rapes of german women internationally a few days after the clashes in frankfurt in april 1920 an article appeared in england denouncing the presence of french colonial troops on german soil.

the author of the article was the english journalist and labor member of parliament edmund deane mirelle. morrell felt were tight in d.c. and in his article more condemning the french occupation on the rhine and its use of black troops. which he described as a horror a terrible situation what's your one he was already in contact with german officials and was getting information from that off day went ahead input much. as far as influencing british public opinion about the occupation of the rhineland using black soldiers is concerned a number of english politicians and journalists staying in berlin in the last few months have been granted access to a large number of documents pertaining to the conduct of black troops in the occupied region morale has used the material he was given to publish

a brochure the horror on the rhine which he has written to great effect it was quite apparent that the horror on the rhine awoke feelings of physical and psychological discussed on everyone. does also get a gun to send the foreign ministry was always behind the scenes inviting visitors from abroad to come to the rhine land and then go back home and report how horrible things were there before by the thing a 15. among the foreigners the german government recruited to support the campaign was re beverage from the united states beverage was raised in the white american upper class she became one of the most aggressive agitators spreading the tales of so-called black shame. have the men leading our countries lost their minds they are

blindly throwing our white race our white women into the abyss i appeal to all of the world's women i peel to all men still worthy of the name. help white women white girls and white boys are in danger every day and every hour and this threat will continue as long as a black man is entitled to exercise power over whites in america they hanged each and every black man who molests a white woman these are these racist ideas were widely shared in common as they came from the centers of international and european science and research people went to conferences swedish german italian french and british scientists met at congresses to discuss these issues and the european population were aware of the importance of being white and stain white. vice to blight. yet the nationalists revulsion and racists were unable to prevent one thing after

the war people along the rhine found love. the men came from africa the philippines and vietnam the women from germany. between 19191928 several 100 children fathered by colonial soldiers were born to german women in the german regions along the rhine the precise number isn't known but it could be anywhere from 402-8000 these children and their mothers and

their families were socially ostracized from the start. the senior civil servant wrote. unfortunately some of the female population did not know how to defend their morals or uphold the honor of their position and national dignity they no gauged in relations with occupation troops in a disgusting way this fraternization was of course not without consequences in many cases. the position france rosenberger went even further. should we silently tolerate this fact that instead of the like songs of white beautiful well bred intellectually superior lively young germans on the banks of the rhine we will hear the calling sound of dappled the grey low brow the wide nosed chorus half animals the political lotto. or when they speak of the latter's ation they're presuming that

a lot of women from the rhine region had voluntary relations with colonial true. oops and also bore them children and many nationalist propagandists campaigned against what they called white shane so that's a very massage and mystic anti women version that says it's bad enough that the french have brought these black soldiers into the country now we've also got all these german women with no sense of honor or patriotism lining up on mass to have sexual relations with these colonial soldiers. excludes you all the exclusion touched on there of the white woman from the collective of the german nation is of course racist. the concept is that the german population of the body of the people regenerates from within and that anyone involved in racial the final moment must be excluded from the body of the german people.

there is naturally also an assumption that if someone has a darker skin color he or she can't really be german there you see a deep rooted belief that being german means having a specific ethnic identity. so your german if your skin's the right color but what about those who have african or asian fathers but at 1st sight don't look like it for example village from. get the impression of him being alien or different and that was basically purely abstractly while he spoke a broad report and dialect so that really like i said nobody annoys kitchen could clearly work out his origins from his speech. his language defined him as a long established local and that was always what mattered for us when.

in 1920 children used to sing who's afraid of the black man and answer themselves. nobody. but it wasn't the same for adults. these are of the go born then indeed the afro german children born from these relationships or in a tough position and and the ever known they were a reminder of their defeat in the war. on the bizarre tongues they were a reminder of the french occupation forces. and they reminded people of the inability of german men to protect their women from a legit rapists. so that means that the authorities already had these children in their sights by the mid 1920. they were perceived as a potential threat and importance here. bargain on one local politician had a radical solution the maturing of half breeds who will soon be capable of

reproducing is causing great concern in the facts so i'm asking you to listen to what's being said at the rhine ministry and the national health authorities to see if we can do something to ensure the race remains pure from colored blood in the occupied territories the privy council dr due to me has indicated that the sterilization of mixed race children could be carried out in an entirely painless procedure it is clear that such a procedure would be inadmissible under current law doesn't conflict on in that cite for this conflict goes back to before world war one the question was what is the status of legitimate so called mixed race children in the colonies did they inherit their father's german citizenship the racists naturally didn't want that initially this approach didn't take all that but i think there was a point when the nazis broke through for example and very clearly made citizenship

a matter of race for the so called rhineland bastards it had a huge impact on their lives and. physical safety i feel a couple of thoughts as the tide you have to see the modern weimar republic and an obsession with race going hand in hand at the same time josephine baker was well in berlin orleans's with her banana dance in 1926 others in germany were worrying about the purity of the german race some will thirty's went as far as to consider forcibly sterilizing the children of the occupation. only a few biographies of occupation children are still known today one of them is about greg or butts who was born at the edge of the eiffel region in 1921 greg was father was an american infantryman stationed in the rhineland not a french colonial soldier he came from the philippines.

grego barnes was the son of my eldest aren't who was born in 1906 at the time my cousin was born my aunt who was 14 years old if you think about it or even today that would be rather scandalous. but imagine what it was like in 1921 lived in a staunch we catholics or scientists where religion was dominant then it was far more shocking. here's. this is catalina kyra crego was mother this is a miracle i am my mother she was born in 1914 and i think was about 11 or 12 in this picture and that's an acquirer those were the 3 sisters that's my grandfather yourself kyra and here we have kind of a you know kyra my grandmother and this is great going on here working or.

because of like i said it was a scandal normally it would have meant total loss. kris's i'm from the village community but it never came to that of. course of my grandfather and our family i mean my grandfather was one of the founders of the social democratic party air. and he was a really strong individual from the. us and he didn't usually do other people's bidding and also played a role in the village eventually accepting him off the plane in 1927 catarina cairo married paper box a man shown here. she made sure she got away from my grandfather the minute she legally became an adult it seems the 2 really didn't get a lot of the back of the talk to mr clinton. the family and village community protected grego as long as they could but they couldn't shield him from all

injustice and persecution greg or survive the war and was accepted in the community as an adult but he would never have his own family. adult hitler had personally made sure of that when the national socialist seized power a sea change in german demographic policy brought people like greg under increased scrutiny the nazis relied on concepts of racial anthropology that had emerged a long time before to support their position the father of racial anthropology in germany was the zoologist and eugenicist and heckle. into the snow incident you're going to skips the end of the 19th century when many publications were looking into the exotic and the wild people visited museum collections to see glass cases full of skeletons and skulls and asked themselves for are we all really one unified human race how do we differ from each other they had already started cataloguing

these exhibits and now they began to categorise them in the 1st phillip genetic trees that haykel introduced in the 860000 showed an established categorization and hierarchy so better worse higher or lower in. who needa in the smarts and that became clear when tabular overviews of categories based on data about skulls hair color and structure and eye color were published for the 1st time they noted the course hair of the papuans or hottentot and rank them at the lower end of the table. then came the mediterraneans the europeans and then later on the caucasians on top went in meditative on and in spirit and then her cause you know under. the kaiser vilhelm institute for in 3 polje was founded in berlin dull him in 1927 during the nazi period he became the center for research

in eugenics and racial hygiene its director was an anthropologist oig an efficient . fischer also became the intellectual father of the draft law that the national socialists aim to use to implement their racial hygiene policies it laid down that anyone posing a threat to the help of the german race should not be permitted to reproduce this is the slogan on the sets of you don't know who kisses from for this was called the law for the prevention of offspring with hereditary diseases of july 14th 1933 published by one of the s.s. his favorite publishing houses in 1934.
