Organizers of next month's Edmonton Heritage Festival have decided there will be no Russian pavilion this year, citing safety concerns, threats and objections from the city's Ukrainian community.
"Despite our confidence in our ability to put on a safe festival, we recognize that if the Russian pavilion were to participate in the festival this year there is a real potential for incidents and potential safety risk."
The very people banning the Russians are saying it's because of threats and concerns from the Ukrainians. Evidence? No. But why would they ban the Russians while blaming the Ukrainians?
Or is this more diabolical, Machiavellian Russian 4D chess?
