I used to read Revilo Oliver's scribblings and thought they were a bit interesting -- obviously this man was erudite in the sense that he knew several languages and wrote about the classics, but he seemed a couple of cans short of a six-pack. This man would launch idiotic little diatribes against all kinds of European groups, making me wonder: why the hell do so many "pro-Whites" cite this guy?
Here are some "gems" from Mr. Oliver (I won't dignify him with the label of Professor) on Russians -- I wanted to post his material on other European groups but this happened to be the easiest search:
www.stormfront.org/rpo/RIDDLES.htm
"Spengler, you will recall, regarded the Russians as the people of a new and young civilization, fundamentally different from our own and destined eventually to supplant it. Whether or not he was right in his prognosis, he based it on great and fundamental differences. The Russians are basically a Slavic people. They probably still retain vestiges of the Nordic blood of the Varangians who created Russia as a nation and they undoubtedly have a very considerable genetic heritage from the many French and Germans whom the Czars, especially Catherine the Great, invited into Russia to promote 'Westernization' of the nation,(2) but the Slavic nation had received a great infusion of the blood of an incompatible and Mongoloid race during the subjugation of the Russians by the successors of Genghis Khan (the Golden Horde) in the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Centuries. (emphasis added) It is possible, but far from certain, that the Tartar strain accounts for the common identification of the Russians as an Oriental people (e.g., by Henri Massis in his (*D‚fense de l'Occident*). To this must be added heritage of the partly Oriental culture of the Byzantine Empire, notably the Greek Orthodox Church."
Some more:
"The Russian sense of nationality has always included a latent or active antipathy to European culture and civilization. (emphasis added) Much of Russian literature in the Nineteenth Century involves, in foreground or background, debates about the extent to which the importation of Western concepts and technics by Catherine the Great and most of her successors was deleterious to the Russian soul. It became customary to blame 'the West' for Russian deficiencies, and, paradoxically, there were Russians who refurbished the old notion of Russia as the 'Third Rome' (i.e., the successor of the Byzantine Empire of the 'Second Rome,' Constantinople) by entertaining a hope that Russia would eventually dominate Europe as the Romans had done."
The really funny thing about Mr. Oliver is that he presents Vladimir Zhirinovsky as the voice of the Russian people, when in fact, some years after this filthy little essay was published, it turned out that Zhirinovsky is at least half-Jewish. Moreover, recent genetic studies have shown (it is my understanding) that there are traces of Negroid blood in Germany, unlike Russia.
