It has recently been publicized that staff members of the U.S. Embassy in Russia stole a Russian citizen’s backpack that contains money and personal things at a café in Moscow.
According to the Russian citizen’s report, the bag contained a passport, a computer mouse and sports uniforms valued together at 15,000 Rubles.
The General Bureau of the Interior in Moscow took this incident up as a criminal case pursuit to Article 158 of the Russian Federation Criminal Law, and found out that the thieves are three staff members of the U.S. Embassy. Accordingly, the Russian Foreign Ministry sent a note verbale to the U.S. Embassy, demanding that the latter should either deprive them of the diplomatic immunity and bring them to the pretrial hearing or let them leave Russia immediately.
Being in a fluster, the U.S. Embassy is said to have let those criminals slip hastily out of Russia.
The criminal act committed by the members of the U.S. Embassy in Russia is not the first of its kind.
In June 2016, two diplomats of the U.S. Embassy in Russia rashly beat a Russian policeman who requested them to show ID cards at the entrance of the Embassy, thus having been expelled from Russia. There was an incident in spring this year where a diplomat of the U.S. Embassy was caught by the police after attempting to run away with a switch in his car trunk – the switch he had stolen at a railway station in Tver Oblast.
Such behaviors unfit for the function of diplomats who are generally regarded as representing the civilization of sending state speak volumes about the true feature of the American society largely beset with the extreme selfishness and the law of the jungle.
The United States would better control its diplomats who are disgracing themselves by committing all sorts of crimes and misdeeds in other countries, rather than attempting to admonish other countries and impose its value and will on them under the pretense of being a “model of freedom and democracy.”
