Why do they hate the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact so much?

Why do they hate the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact so much?The agreement, which ceased to exist 76 years ago (22 June 1941), is still at the forefront of Big Politics. Each anniversary of its signing is traditionally celebrated by all “progressive humanity” as one of the most sorrowful dates of the world. stories.

In the United States and Canada, 23 August is Black Ribbon Day. In the European Union - European Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Stalinism and Nazism. The authorities of Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine on this day with particular zeal are telling subordinate peoples about the innumerable misfortunes they have suffered because of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. In Russia, all liberal media and public figures on the eve of 23 August are in a hurry to remind citizens of the “disgraceful” Covenant and once again call on the people to repentance.



Of the thousands and thousands of international treaties concluded over the centuries-old history of diplomacy, not a single “honor” has been given such “honor” in the modern world. The question naturally arises: what is the reason for such a special relationship to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact? The most common answer is: The Covenant is exceptional in terms of content crime and catastrophic consequences. That is why “fighters for all good against all bad” consider it their duty to constantly remind people and countries of the sinister Treaty so that this can never happen again.

But there is another explanation: the Pact dealt a crushing blow to the vital interests of Russia's external and internal enemies. Hence their hatred of him, as a symbol of strategic defeat.

Of course, the propaganda machine of the West, the post-Soviet ethnocracies and domestic liberals for a decade has proved to us that the first answer is the only correct answer. But experience teaches: taking a word for a liberal is an unforgivable frivolity. Therefore, let us try to figure out and find out the reason for the hatred of the Pact among those states loyal to the ideals of freedom and democracy, as well as the Russian liberal public who joined them. The accusations against the Covenant are well known: it led to the start of the Second World War (the “pact of war”), it rudely and cynically trampled on all norms of morality and international law. Let's go point by point.

Pact of war

“23 August 1939, the Nazi Germany, led by Hitler, and the Soviet Union, under the leadership of Stalin, signed a pact that changed history and marked the beginning of the most ruthless war in human history” (European Commissioner for Justice Vivien Reding).

“The Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact of 23 August 1939, concluded between two totalitarian regimes - the communist Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, led to the September 1 explosion of World War II” (Joint Declaration of Memory and Solidarity of the Polish Seim and the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine).

“If the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact were not there, then there are big doubts that Hitler would have decided to attack Poland” (Nikolai Svanidze).

“This war, this terrible drama would not have happened if it had not been for the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact ... if Stalin’s decision was different, Hitler would not have started a war at all” (Anthony Macčerevich, Minister of Defense of Poland).

Similar statements in recent years have accumulated a lot.

Reading them, you are simply amazed how almighty Comrade Stalin was. From one of his words depended - to be or not to be the Second World War. Stalin would have refused a treaty with Germany, and Hitler had to dissolve the Wehrmacht, and the "blond beasts" with other "true Aryans" peacefully drink Bavarian beer.

Japanese samurai would have stopped the war in China, and instead of hitting Pearl Harbor, they were engaged in rice cultivation. The Versailles system with the world hegemony of the British Empire would remain unshakable to this day. Well, and the Americans would sit in a proud isolation over the oceans, not even trying to do good to themselves the whole world. Here, what is the power of the words of Comrade Stalin.

Speaking seriously, every normal person is well aware that World War II, World War I, and Napoleonic wars were generated by the struggle of Western countries for the division of the world, the struggle for domination over it. First, the struggle of France against Great Britain, then the Second, and then the Third Reich against the same British Empire. Churchill in 1936, explaining the inevitability of an imminent clash with Germany, extremely frankly formulated the main law of Anglo-Saxon policy: “For 400 years England’s foreign policy was to resist the strongest, most aggressive, most influential power on the continent. ... The policy of England does not at all reckon with what kind of country aspires to domination in Europe. ... We should not be afraid that we can be accused of a pro-French or anti-German position. If circumstances had changed, we could have taken a pro-French or anti-French position in the same way. This is a law of state policy that we pursue, and not just expediency dictated by random circumstances, likes or dislikes, or some other feelings. ”

Cancel this centuries-old struggle within the civilization of the West, in which in the twentieth century. the whole world was already involved; neither Alexander I, Nicholas II, nor Stalin was able to do it.

The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, by the precise definition of Natalia Narochnitskaya, “changed the schedule of the Second World War” by mixing maps of British politics.

But he, in principle, could neither start nor stop the flywheel of the conflict between Great Britain and Germany. Just as the Treaty of Tilsit and Erfurt could not prevent the "thunderstorm of the twelfth year" and stop the clash between France and Britain. And the agreement between Nicholas II and Wilhelm II in Björk is to stop the slide of the world to the First World War.

That is the reality. As for the statements about the “Pact of War”, their authors are not engaged in historical research, but in politics and propaganda. It is now quite obvious that our former allies and former opponents, together with the homegrown "fifth column", headed for revising the history of the Second World War. Their goal is to transfer Russia from the category of winning states to the category of defeated aggressor states, with all the ensuing consequences. Hence the crazy statements about the “Covenant of War”. The laws of propaganda say - a thousand times a lie is said, after some time, the society begins to be taken for granted as a matter of course. A member of the board of Memorial (a foreign agent), Jan Raczynski, does not even hide the fact that their task is to turn the statement about the equal responsibility of the USSR and Germany for the world war "into banality". But these are “their” goals and objectives.

Criminal collusion

“It is difficult to imagine a more crude and criminal conspiracy against the peace and sovereignty of the states” (Inesis Feldmanis, the main semi-official historian of Latvia).

We must pay tribute to external and internal enemies of Russia, the interpretation of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact as a criminal conspiracy of two totalitarian "evil empires", unlike the interpretation of the "Pact of War", has already become firmly established in the public consciousness and is really perceived by many as a banality. But accusations of crime should not be based on emotional characteristics, but on an indication of specific norms of international law that were violated (“transgressed”) by the Soviet-German treaty. But they, for all the years of the demonization of the Pact, no one could detect it that way. None!

From the legal point of view, the Non-Aggression Pact itself is absolutely flawless. Yes, the Soviet leadership, as, incidentally, the British, was well aware of the impending German attack on Poland. However, there was not a single norm of international law obliging the USSR in this case to abandon neutrality and enter the war on the Polish side. Moreover, Poland, firstly, was an enemy of the Soviet Union, and secondly, on the eve of the conclusion of the Covenant, officially refused to accept guarantees of its security from Russia.

The secret protocols to the Treaty, which for the last thirty years, except children were not frightened, are standard practice of diplomacy from ancient times to the present day.

Let me remind you that under Barack Obama, Russia and the United States concluded an agreement on Syria, much of which, at the insistence of the American side, was classified. Progressive public did not even budge. Why should we consider that what Obama allowed is criminal for Stalin?

Without being illegal in form, the Secret Protocols were not as such in content. Organized by Alexander Yakovlev (Chief Architect of the Collapse of the Soviet Union) Resolution of the Congress of People's Deputies of the USSR, which branded the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, it was stated that the Secret Protocols, distinguishing the spheres of interests of the USSR and Germany, "were in legal terms in contradiction with the sovereignty and independence of a number of third countries. " However, all this is a blatant lie.

There did not exist, as does not exist now, no norms of international law prohibiting states to delimit the areas of their interests. Moreover, a ban on such a distinction would actually mean the obligation of countries to oppose each other on the territory of third states, with corresponding consequences for international security. Of course, to “small but proud” countries that have been accustomed to catch fish in the muddy waters of the confrontation of the great powers, such a ban would be extremely beneficial, but their interests should not be confused with international law. Therefore, the principle itself of delimiting “spheres of interests” applied in the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact is not illegal and, therefore, criminal.

In no way does the delineation of the “spheres of interests” contradict the principle of the sovereign equality of all states enshrined in international law. The Covenant did not contain any decisions binding on third countries. Otherwise, why make them secret for future performers? The widespread accusation that according to the Secret Protocols Hitler handed Stalin the Baltics, Eastern Poland and Bessarabia is pure demagogy. Hitler, in principle, even with all the desire, could not give up what did not belong to him.

Yes, the Pact deprived Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Romania of the opportunity to use Germany against the USSR. Therefore, they scream heart-rendingly about violating their sovereign rights. But Germany is also a sovereign and independent country. She absolutely was not obliged to serve the interests of the countries-limitrofov. There was not a single international law nor a single international treaty that would oblige Germany to oppose the restoration of the territorial integrity of our country. As there was no such rule prohibiting us to return the territories rejected from her. Otherwise, the return by France of Alsace and Lorraine, the restoration of the territorial integrity of Germany or Vietnam, will have to be declared unlawful, therefore, criminal.

Actually, the non-aggression treaty in its open part contained the USSR’s commitment to remain neutral towards Germany regardless of its collisions with third countries, while the Secret Protocols to the Treaty, in turn, issued Germany’s commitment not to interfere in the affairs of the USSR in the European part of the post-imperial space. Nothing more. Exaggerating, the contract of the bank and the seller of seeds at his entrance: the first undertakes not to trade seeds, the second does not lend money to customers of the bank.

One can only advise the “Progressive Humanity” supposedly so preoccupied with the unlawfulness of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact to call for repentance the United States and Great Britain, which in 1944 were not “areas of interest” in third countries, but shared the wealth of these third countries. “Persian oil is yours. Oil of Iraq and Kuwait we will share. As for the oil of Saudi Arabia, it is ours ”(Franklin Roosevelt, British Ambassador to Lord Halifax, February 18 1944). The PACE, the OSCE, the US Congress and further down the list, which received mountains of resolutions in condemning the mythical crime of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, do not even recall this real criminal conspiracy.

Immoral Pact

The thesis of the immorality of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact is hammered into the public consciousness even more firmly than the thesis of its crime. Politicians and historians almost unanimously speak of the immorality of the Covenant, again, without burdening themselves with the justification of the reasons for such an assessment. Usually, it all comes down to pathetic statements that only unscrupulous people can not be ashamed of a contract with Hitler. However, here we are dealing with conscious and cynical demagogy.

Until 22 June 1941, for the USSR, Hitler is the legitimate head of one of the great European powers. Potential adversary and even likely? Sure. But France and the UK were potential adversaries and even very likely for that moment for our country. Suffice it to recall how in 1940 they prepared a strike against the USSR in order to give the outbreak of World War I the character of an all-European "crusade against Bolshevism" in order to force the Third Reich to go to the East in this way and thereby save the scenario of war developed by British strategists.

Nazi crimes at the time of the signing of the Covenant have not yet been committed. Yes, by that time the Third Reich produced the Anschluss of Austria and captured the Czech Republic. Almost bloodless. American aggression in Iraq led to the death of hundreds of thousands of civilians. Hitler was going to attack Poland, but Trump threatens North Korea with war. Does it follow from this that any treaty signed with the United States is by definition amoral?

In the Third Reich, there was open, enshrined at the legislative level, discrimination against the Jewish population. But the equally open and legally enshrined total discrimination of the black population was at that time in the United States. It was not and could not be an obstacle to the interaction of Stalin with the president of the racist state Roosevelt. The death camps and everything connected with the attempt of the “final solution of the Jewish question”, all this was in the future.

The misanthropic nature of the national socialist ideology of the Third Reich also does not make the treaty with this country criminal and immoral. Liberal globalism is perfectly legitimate to consider as one of the varieties of misanthropic ideology. From which it does not at all follow that it is impossible to conclude agreements with Francois Macron or Angela Merkel. Stalin very clearly formulated his attitude to this issue in a conversation with Japanese Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka: "Whatever ideology is in Japan or even in the USSR, this cannot prevent practical rapprochement of the two states."

Therefore, it is high time to recognize that the desire to declare the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact an immoral conspiracy is nothing other than regret that Stalin refused to put other people's interests above the interests of his country, above the security interests of the Soviet Union.

And it does not matter which interests exactly - the world communist movement, the interests of the struggle against Nazism, or the interests of democracy.

As we see, all replicable accusations against the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact (“The Pact of War”, criminal and amoral collusion with the Third Reich) are absolutely untenable in historical, legal and moral terms. Moreover, it is obviously untenable. But where, then, is such a completely sincere, genuine hatred of the Pact in the West, in post-Soviet ethnocracies and in the liberal community of Russia? Let's try to figure out here in order.

West

“The treaty changed the schedule of the inevitable war, and, therefore, the post-war configuration, making it impossible for the Anglo-Saxons to enter Eastern Europe both at the beginning of the war, since Western Europe had to be defended, and after victory, the USSR was already there. The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of 1939 of the Year is the biggest failure of the English strategy for the entire twentieth century, which is why it is demonized ”(Natalia Narochnitskaya).

And the Anglo-Saxons, as is known, have been determining the position of the West as a whole on all key issues for more than half a century.

To this it should be added that with the help of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, Soviet Russia regained Vyborg, the Baltic States, Western Belorussia, Western Ukraine and Bessarabia, detached from our country during the collapse of the Russian Empire.

The shock of the West from the return of Crimea alone best explains why Western politicians are still “shaking” with only one recollection of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.

Post-Soviet ethnocracy

All limitrophe states both at the beginning of the twentieth century and at the end gained independence solely as a result of the crisis of the Russian statehood (first the Russian Empire, then the Soviet Union). The role of the outpost of Western civilization in the confrontation with Russia, they still consider the main guarantee of their existence. In August, 1939. The sky fell to Earth, the world turned upside down. No wonder, there was no united front of the West against Russia. One of the great powers - Germany - recognized the post-imperial space as a zone of interests of the USSR, and then (no trouble started) in Yalta, the Great Britain and America were forced to do that. For some time, the pillars of the West for a while proved to be vitally important, and they temporarily forgot about the “little but proud” ones. Therefore, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact for all limitrofs is still a symbol of the very worst that can happen to them, a symbol of the ghostliness of their existence. Hence their hysteria about the "new Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact" with any very slight sign of improving Russia's relations with the countries of the West, primarily with Germany.

Liberal public

The easiest way is to explain the attitude of the liberal community of Russia to the Pact by the desire to please the West, the habit of “jacking at the embassies” and love for foreign grants. However, I believe that they would have written / said it all on a voluntary basis, although, of course, for the fees of “greens,” of course, it’s more convenient to do this.

Even Dostoevsky very clearly formulated the credo of the "demons" (then the "socialists" acted under the guise now, the "liberals" now): "He who curses his past is ours."

Only in a spiritually disintegrated society of “Ivanov, not remembering kinship,” are they like fish in water. Hence their so sincere love for the 20 and 90 years of the last century — periods of political and moral disintegration of the country, periods of open mockery of the most heroic pages of Russian history. Hence, by the way, at times the seemingly inadequate reaction of the liberals to the return of the Crimea. Conflict with the West and the disappearance of imported delicacies are all secondary. The main thing in the other - "happiness was so close, so possible." The property was "grabbed", patriotism was turned into a curse, the word "Russian" was used exclusively in the combinations "Russian fascism" and "Russian mafia". And here, here you are, the return of the Crimea, and patriotism, as a national idea.

Moreover, all this is the second time in less than a hundred years. It was only in the “blessed” 20s of the “fiery revolutionaries” (“demons” of the time) that it became possible, when passing a sentence, to write: “shoot as a patriot and a counter-revolutionary”. Just yesterday, with the explosion of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, they joyfully galloped and shouted: “Let us catch the hem of Mother Russia”. In a word, the hope of a bright future had just been established in the expropriated Arbat apartments and at the summer cottages of the liquidated “counter”, when the world suddenly began to crumble. State interests and patriotism declared the highest value. And the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was for them one of the most visible and visible evidence of a catastrophe. Vasily Grossman, proclaimed by the liberals as the “great Russian writer,” had every reason to complain bitterly: “Could Lenin think that, having founded the Communist International and proclaiming the slogan of the world revolution, proclaiming“ Proletarians of all countries, unite! ”, He prepared the way for the unprecedented in the history of the growth of the principle of national sovereignty? ... Russian slavery and this time turned out to be invincible. "

Summing up, we can conclude that the West, the post-Soviet ethnocracies and Russian liberals have every reason to hate the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, to consider it the embodiment of evil. For them, he really is a symbol of strategic defeat. Their position is clear, logical, fully corresponds to their interests and does not raise questions. The question raises another question: how long will we be guided by the attitude of Russia's external and internal enemies to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact?

As for the Germans, the largest German military burial place in Russia is located in the Leningrad Region. The Germans, in turn, take care of the graves of our soldiers, sometimes abandoned by us.

      Ltd!!! I have something to say!

      Liberals ... Where to start?
      The basis of the term "liberalism" is the Latin root, translated into Russian meaning "freedom", "free." Liberals promote maximum personal freedom, non-interference by the state in the affairs of private individuals, that is, in fact, the primacy of personal interests over the interests of the state. The extreme degree of liberalism is anarchy. They talk about freedom of speech, choice of religion, sexual orientation, political beliefs, entrepreneurial activity, the inviolability of private property, the rule of law, etc. And everything seems to be beautiful and correct, but in essence liberal legislation is a set of laws invented by the rich against the poor, their main purpose is to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
      Liberals are convinced fighters against statehood, whose entire ideology is focused on ensuring their own, purely personal interests. The concepts of patriotism and collectivism are alien to the liberals in principle. The liberal and the patriot are antagonists to the marrow of bones; in fact, these are antonyms, since the basis of patriotic ideology is concern for the interests of the state, that is, of society as a whole.
      In the patriotic circles of modern Russia, the word "liberal" is equated with obscene insult and is not used in a decent society (an exception is the use of this word to express contempt for the conductors of Western ideology, mainly immigrants from the European Union or the United States). In the wider population of Russia, the concept of “liberal” does not have a purely negative meaning, but it is strongly associated with “European values”, which, according to the majority, are unacceptable for Russian society.
      Pronunciation options: liberalst, liberoid, liberal.
      Synonyms: horseradish with "Rain", Makarevich, a traitor to the motherland, mattress feeding.
      So somehow ...

    Anschluss of Austria (year 1938) began to mature already in mid-February, when Chancellor Schuschnigg would be invited to Hitler's residence in Berchtesgaden. There, under the threat of a military invasion, he signed an ultimatum of 3 points on which: the leader of the Austrian Nazis A. Zeiss-Inquart was appointed as the Minister of the Interior, as well as the head of the detective police; a political amnesty was declared for all Nazis in custody; Nazi Party of Austria joined the Patriotic Front. - Read more at SYL.ru: https://www.syl.ru/article/193673/new_anshlyus-av

    The partition of Czechoslovakia followed. The annexation of the Sudetenland was the initial stage in the occupation of Czechoslovakia. German propaganda set the stage well. It was said about the oppression of the Sudeten Germans, who suffered terrible torment from discrimination by their Czechs. On April 21, 1938, Hitler and Keitel developed the Grun Plan. It was planned to attack Czechoslovakia after a series of diplomatic negotiations. The British and French governments wanted, as she herself had formulated, "to save the world at all costs." This price was Czechoslovakia. The annexation of the Sudetenland took place as part of the Munich Agreement, which was signed on the night of September 29-30, 1938. According to it, Germany received the right to annex the Sudetenland, as well as those areas where the German population exceeded 50%. The annexation of the Sudetenland took place on October 1-10, 1938. More than three million Germans lived here. Also, Poland (in the region of Tesin) and Hungary (in the southern regions of Slovakia) presented their territorial claims. This allowed Hitler to assign the Sudeten annexation international character. Https: //subscribe.ru/group/na-zavalin

"So, in November, during negotiations with the Fuhrer, the British government minister Halifax agreed on behalf of his country that Austria would become part of Germany. Later, the British prime minister made a statement that Austria cannot rely on the future for the League of Nations to defend it in the event of annexation. "


      That's right, it was the "Munich Agreement" that laid the foundation for the redivision of Europe. Therefore, there is no resemblance between the "Munich Agreement" and the "Ribentrop-Molotov Pact".
      The 1939 treaty between the USSR and Germany did not provide for any annexation of foreign territories. "Separation of the zone of state interests" is not annexation of land.

    The Molotov-Ribbentorp Pact finally untied the demoniac Fuhrer hands. Prior to his conclusion, he was afraid to start a major war in Europe, knowing that the guarantors of independence of the East European countries were the global hegemons of that time - England and France plus - an unknown factor in the person of the USSR. He could not know what the three-million-strong spacecraft would do in the east — would it look at the German occupation of Poland or would the Soviet leadership turn to the desperate Polish government and the Soviet corps would come to the aid of the Poles, and the Wehrmacht would be between two fires? After the signing of the Pact, he knew for sure that there was no military threat from the USSR and could act freely.
    And, what still deserves attention is the behavior of Dzhugashvili in this situation. Back in 1933, they put on the table a translation of Hitler's "My Struggle". He knew how demoniac was about the USSR. What are your plans? Nevertheless, concludes an agreement with him. The same form of madness, a normal politician had at all costs to seek the conclusion of an alliance agreement with England and France, in order to exclude the possibility of German aggression. But we did not have a normal politician at the head of state. We had a fanatical Marxist who believed that "imperialist bourgeois predators must interlock" so that the USSR would later bring them freedom. Together with sovietization, of course. But the quasi-religious norms of Marxism do not apply in Big Politics, and the USSR paid for the dogmatic mistake of Dzhugashvili on June 22nd 1941.

In 1940 Germany received from the Soviet Union 657 thousand tons of oil products, that is, 4,6% of its total annual reserves. In 1940, the USSR produced 31,1 million tons of oil, that is, the export of oil products to Germany accounted for 2,1% of the total oil production in the country. Grain was grown in the USSR in 1940, 95,6 million tons, and exported to Germany less than 1 million tons, that is, about 1%. The bulk of these exports were barley (732 thousand tons) and oats (143 thousand tons), wheat - only 5 thousand tons.

          What are you? I didn’t know. Germany covered 85% of its demand for petroleum products through synthetic petroleum products and its own oil fields. Purchases from oil from the USSR and Romania were needed to provide the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine with lubricating oils, without which the equipment would not work. Synthetic oils then did not know how to produce.
          “So, at the beginning of the war, the needs of the Reich (the total needs of the economy and the armed forces) for oil products were estimated at approximately 690 thousand tons per month. Of this figure, approximately 275 thousand tons were closed due to domestic production, another 180 thousand tons due to imports from Romania and the USSR, the rest is from accumulated reserves (as of 1.IX.1939 they amounted to about 2.134 thousand tons).

              Yes, for the same reason that Hitler refused to occupy Switzerland. See materials on Operation Tannenbaum.
              “The result of the operation would be a tremendous financial crisis in England and the USA. But Hitler’s closest associates (like Schacht, Schroeder, Keppler and others) opposed the capture of Switzerland. They lost too much:
              - Channel scouts.

              “A source of devices too complex even for German industry.”
              - A way to break through the economic blockade: the sights of German bombers had knots made in the USA, and the sights of the USs were made in Germany.

      Another lie. You should recall how many Treaties there were in Europe, and the Moloto-Ribbentrop Treaty was the last in a series of the same. The USSR repeatedly proposed to conclude an Agreement between France, England and the USSR directed against Hitler. And what? England and France it was not necessary! They in every possible way, under various pretexts, torpedoed the process of signing such an Agreement. Even before the Molotov-Ribentrop Pact in 1939, in 1938 in Munich there was a transaction between England in the person of Chamberlain with Hitler, Mussolini and Daladier on which Germany received its original lands given after the First World War II to the newly minted state of Czechoslovakia. Soon, the whole of Czechoslovakia with a powerful military-industrial complex fell into Hitler’s hands thus arming the Wehrmacht to the teeth.
      By the way, and Poland, this "innocent lamb" was not tempted to grab part of Czechoslovakia under the guise.
      Quote: Lieutenant Teterin
      Nevertheless, concludes an agreement with him.

      "England has nothing against the fact that the USSR would remain outside the pact, and even more so that a conflict would arise between Germany and the USSR," French Foreign Minister Delbros November 1937.
      "I and other members of the English parliament are imbued with the consciousness that the Fuhrer has achieved a lot not only in Germany itself, but that, as a result of the destruction of communism in his country, he blocked the latter’s path to Western Europe, and therefore Germany can rightfully be considered a bastion of the West against Bolshevism Lord Halifax November 1937
      “It can be assumed that the German Reich will direct its aggression to the East. It would be desirable for democratic countries that there, in the East, it comes to a military clash between Germany and Russia,” November 1938, the US ambassador to France Bullitt.
      "Germany and England are the two pillars of the European world and the main pillars against communism and therefore it is necessary to peacefully overcome our current difficulties ... Probably it will be possible to find a solution acceptable to all but Russia" Chamberlain 12.09.1937/XNUMX/XNUMX

      And after that, the signed treaty between the USSR and Germany is declared green for World War II? ?
      The signing of the Non-aggression Treaty with Germany. The brilliant victory of Stalin’s diplomacy. If you want to fight, fight, but without us. Without a treaty, it is likely that the scenario of the war would be completely different, such as "The whole world is against us!"
      And so involuntarily found.
      So Teterin, your State Department agitation, namely the agitation, in terms of trying to rewrite history for the WEST.

          Another nonsense. What and how was used by the West against Russia. In the form of the USSR? From banal criminal smugglers to outright terrorists from the territory of Poland, the same savinka, bulak-balakhovich and so on.
          The Comintern, the Communist International, the 3rd International - in 1919-1943. an international organization that united the communist parties of various countries. It was founded by 28 organizations on the initiative of the RCP (B.) And personally by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin for the development and dissemination of ideas of revolutionary international socialism, as opposed to reformist socialism of the Second International, the final break with which was caused by the difference in positions regarding the First World War and the October Revolution in Russia. After Stalin came to power in the USSR, the organization served as a guide for the interests of the USSR, as Stalin understood them. And Stalin understood the value of this tool pragmatically strictly in the interests of the USSR. Are you so blind or .... that everything that is done by the West against Russia, in the form of the USSR, it’s good for you, but what Russia does in the form of the USSR against the West is bad for you, you are probably VLASOVETS, right? Why so, yes here is the answer why- "Here is a quote from the canonical book of the Posev publishing house (1997) published under the title “Communist regime and popular resistance in Russia”:

          “The Second World War could become the second civil war in Russia, this time with a successful outcome, since the social abyss that existed in 1917 was no longer there. The transformation of the “imperialist war into a civil war” was, if not original, the plan of the Vlasov movement. This time, the plan failed due to external reasons. The main one was personally Hitler, a student of Lenin ... "

          There is nothing surprising in such an exotic formula. The ideological support of Vlasovism is generally characterized by provocative behavior. “Hitler is a student of Lenin” is, as they say, an example of corporate identity. Modern adherents of the cult appear in the same demonstrative manner. Former Moscow Mayor Gavriil Popov writes in his book “Calling the Spirit of General Vlasov” (2008), pathetically referring to his idol: “I see in you the forerunner of the antisocialist popular revolution of 1989-1991. You were the founder of that version of anti-Stalinism and anti-socialism, which is based on ideas that are relevant today. And while our modern democratic movement does not recognize its kinship with you, who managed to withstand the most difficult conditions between Stalin, Hitler and the West, it will not be durable and promising ... "

                Neither in the 1939-m, nor even in the 1941-m the USSR did not possess the strength that he had after the 1945-th. And politically, the USSR balanced on the verge of being declared an aggressor by the country until 22.06.1941. Anti-Bolshevik, anti-Soviet The moods in England and the USA were so great that nothing prevented US corporations from investing in the German economy, trading with it right until the summer of 41, and by third-party means after the Lend-Lease Act came into force, which gave the President of the United States authority to help any countriese, whose defense was recognized as vital to his country.
                The USSR, with the industry developing at that time, with an acute shortage of experienced personnel in the production of equipment of any kind, including military, with a terrible lack of trained commanders at all posts, especially the junior and middle ones, was not able to withstand Germany alone and its armed forces. Nevertheless, the USSR made efforts to create an anti-German alliance with France and England in the summer of 1939. The Soviet leadership actively probed the ground for negotiations, invited representatives of the same France and England. What was the result - it is not difficult to find out both from the Internet and academic works.
                Germany in the summer of 1939 was a "loaded shotgun on stage" performance on the European stage, where the United States acted as a producer and the directors were from France and England. Only the USSR refused to be a whipping boy, because literally on the eve of the signing of the Covenant ended the military conflict (and not without difficulty!) in the Far East, where the enemy wouldl Germany tripartite pact ally!

                      You know, alliance and the obligation to refrain from attack is a bit different things. Hitler, knowing that the USSR would not come to the aid of either the Allies or Poland, finally decided to start a big war for the redistribution of the consequences of the Versailles Peace.

                        What is the fault of the USSR?
                        Or did you have to "lay your bones" on the "altar of freedom of Western shit democracy" and, at the cost of destroying your own country, give England and the USA the chance to triumph, and at the cost of losing your own sovereignty give them an excellent opportunity to then finish off Germany with minimal losses?
                        About Poland .... You already study the reaction of the Polish authorities to the question of the passage of the Red Army units for the implementation of the Soviet Union Franco-Soviet treaty to help Czechoslovakia against possible German aggression, and then at the negotiations in July-August 1939. It is the position of Poland, which refuses to even allow the idea of ​​demonstratively introducing parts of the Red Army into its territory for, again, from possible German aggression ...
                        It was the USSR that was the peacemaker who tried to put together an anti-Hitler coalition in 1939. And when it became clear that these attempts were fruitless, and a non-aggression pact was concluded with Germany.

                If this is your joke, then it is unsuccessful. I want to remind you that in 1940, Germany fought at full swing with England and France, and Poland did not exist. In the case of the conclusion of the Anglo-Franco-Soviet pact, the Allies would have to help the USSR no matter what. As it happened in 1941.

                  It is you who have lost the sequence.
                  Hitler was sharpened for war with the USSR along with Poland. Under the strict guidance of Britain (those of the French too were persuaded, they had doubts and no straits).

                  But the Germans realized that when the Russians were fighting in front of the front, the Poles were on the flanks and the French and the English were not comfortable behind the rear. Yes, and the Poles with their ambitions, ogor and claims "from sea to sea." Well, they didn’t fit into the plans of Germany.

                  But without an agreement with the USSR, they would have to agree to this.
                  And this is the western scenario.

                  The war against the USSR by the wrong hands and under full control.

                  And their hatred is precisely that Stalin outplayed them.
                  And in the beginning they had to eat a dish that they themselves had prepared.

                  And ultimately (after the war), both France and Britain went to second roles in world politics.

              You are ridiculous in your obedience to the eternal enemy of Russia and the West and your behavior as a Vlasovite, for whom everything is good in justification of your Russian community in the form of anti-Soviet hysteria. This is said about you- "Gabriel Popov writes in the book" I Call the Spirit of General Vlasov "(2008) , pathetically referring to his idol: "I see in you the forerunner of the anti-socialist popular revolution of 1989-1991. You were the ancestor of that version of anti-Stalinism and anti-socialism, which is based on ideas that are still relevant today. And while our modern democratic movement does not recognize its kinship with you, who managed to withstand the most difficult conditions between Stalin, Hitler and the West - it will not be durable and promising ... "

              The historian Igor Chubais argues (2016): “Much of the actions of the leaders of the Vlasov movement, or rather, the protest against Stalinism, are compelling. It is not surprising that the new Russian leaders after 1991 recognized that we would have had KONR’s documents (the Committee for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia, established by Vlasov with the support of the Third Reich authorities), we would have taken them as the basis for a new political project. Anthem of the ROA, beginning with the words: “We walk in broad fields at sunrise of the morning rays. We are going to battle with the Bolsheviks. For the freedom of his homeland ...

                before the eternal enemy of Russia West

                Eternal in your manuals, Mr. Agitator. Here is a quote from the book of historian Sergei Volkov:
                Already in 1496–1497. Ivan III fought with Sweden in alliance with Denmark; and the Livonian War of Ivan the Terrible, and the struggle for Smolensk in 1632–1634. were direct participation in pan-European politics, and in the latter case, direct participation in the Thirty Years War, where Russia was on the side of the anti-Habsburg coalition. In 1656-1658 Russia took part in the so-called The “1st Northern War” on the side of Poland, Denmark and Austria against Sweden and Brandenburg, in the Northern War of 1700-1721. Russia fought against Sweden in an alliance with Denmark, Saxony and Poland, in 1733–1735 Russia participated in the war of France and Austria for the Polish inheritance along with Sardinia and Spain, in 1756–1763 - in the Seven Years War between Prussia and Austria (along with England, France, Sweden, Spain and Saxony), in 1788-1790. fighting with Sweden in alliance with Denmark; partitions of Poland at the end of the 1798th century. occurred in alliance with Austria and Prussia. From 1815 to 1807, Russia participated in almost all coalitions against France (and in 1812–1849 it was at war with England, on the contrary, an ally of France), and in XNUMX helped Austria crush the Hungarian rebellion.

                So for centuries, Russia has participated in European politics as an equal participant.
                And here are the statistics of European countries losses:
                Accordingly, human losses (those killed and died from wounds and illnesses) suffered by European countries in the wars with Russia (85% of them fell to the participation of Russia in European coalitions) accounted for an extremely insignificant part - about 10% of their total losses during this time (approximately 140 thousand in the XVIII and 760 thousand in the XIX centuries of 7,8 million of all losses over these centuries). While in wars among themselves, European states lost in the 2,6th century. over 3,8 million people., in the XVIII century. - about 3,1 million and in the XIX century. over XNUMX million people

                And Russia:
                The losses incurred (by those killed and dead from illness), which are for the 130th – 50th centuries. quite well known, they also give an idea of ​​"priorities". Swedish wars of the 120th – 460th centuries Russia cost about 760 thousand people, Polish - less than 740 thousand, participation in the Seven Years War - 150 thousand, in Napoleonic Wars - about 30 thousand (total about 145 thousand). At the same time, at least 10 thousand people died in Turkish wars alone, in expeditions in the Caucasus, Central Asia and Iranian wars in the 60th century. 51 thousand, in the Iranian wars of the XIX century. not less than 1140 thousand, in the Caucasian wars of the XIX century. - XNUMX, in Central Asia - about XNUMX thousand, in Siberia and the Far East - about XNUMX thousand (including XNUMX thousand in the Russo-Japanese War), i.e. total on the southern and eastern borders of approximately XNUMX thousand people.

                So there is no "eternal enemy of Russia", but a conglomerate of states with their own national interests.

                Quote: Pancir026
                But what about the Union Treaty, according to which England and France. MUCH were obliged to provide military assistance to Poland

                I recognize the style of the so-called “red agitators” - to jump from one subject of the argument to another and try to “convict” the opponent with a naively triumphant appearance. Mr. good, we talked about Czechoslovakiawhich no one gave any guarantees. On the contrary, under the Munich Treaty, Czechoslovakia undertook to cede only the Sudetenland. The partition of the country was not provided for by this treaty. But Hitler did not give a damn about everything, violated this contract. You (very ineptly) tried to present the partition of Czechoslovakia as the result of the actions of England and France, which is an attempt to juggle historical facts.

                And it was still mercifully done to him, because calls for desertion from the army under conditions of aggression by a foreign state are an unconditional crime, against the laws, the Fatherland and the people. However, as I have already noticed, Marxists only call their supporters the people. Other fellow citizens immediately become "bourgeois", "fascists", "imperialists", and God knows who else.

                      Service in law enforcement bodies of the Republic of Ingushetia was considered by Soviet law as a crime - a fact. Art. 58.11. Criminal Code of the RSFSR of 1926.

                      Again lying - Article 58-11. Any kind of organizational activity aimed at preparing or committing crimes provided for in this chapter, as well as participating in an organization formed to prepare or commit one of the crimes provided for in this chapter, entail the social protection measures specified in Art. 58-2.

                  Was the policy of "indigenousization", "Leningrad affair", the demolition of monuments to Russian generals, scientists, governors, the extermination of educated Russian people were acts of Russophilia on the part of the Bolshevik authorities? If anyone is called Russophobia, it’s the Bolsheviks and their minions, who diligently abused Russian history and culture.

                  You mixed everyone together. No one demolished the monuments to scientists, not to all generals and governors, and even more so did not destroy educated Russian people.
                  Monuments were demolished only to the most hated courtiers, for example, in the Odessa region, monuments to Generalissimo Suvorov, Count Vorontsov, Duke Richelieu and others were preserved.
                  About the Leningrad affair. Just those who were taken in this matter, and wanted to destroy the Soviet Union, wanted to isolate the Russian Federation. What this isolation led to in 1990, we all saw. So there is no Russophobia here, but only a class approach to resolving the issue.

      With France already concluded, in the century before last, the result of the Russo-Japanese War does not mean anything? I will give just one example. After the battle of Mukden, France, an ally of Russia, refused to her (Russia) to issue the promised loan for military needs. Essentially pushing Russia to surrender. The situation was corrected at the expense of the German banks that issued the loan, they refused, and it is not known which peace treaty would be signed. Well, I think it’s not worth writing about England’s "friendly" policy towards Russia. Unfortunately, this did not teach Russian politicians anything.
      So, it is not worth writing that at that time the USSR did not have good diplomats and all the actions taken by them were wrong. I think the history of relations between Russia, England and France, they knew well.

      and this is your assessment of the situation about the Munich conspiracy and allies from an eyewitness, especially appreciate the last lines .... Telegram of the Plenipotentiary of the USSR in France Ya.Z. Suritsa to the People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs of the USSR
            The fact that France survived its second Sedan and that in Munich it suffered a terrible defeat, now any Frenchman realizes.
            Even those who had recently torn their throats at the meeting of Daladier and Bourget and showered with flowers his triumphal march to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, have now learned a number of immutable and sufficiently unpleasant truths, namely, that:
            1) Germany, with the help of France, without firing a shot, increased its population by more than 3 million and has now brought it to sizes more than twice the population of France;
            2) Germany increased its territory by more than 27 thousand square meters. km;
            3) received as a gift a number of highly equipped factories and plants and the most important branches of mineral wealth;
            4) has now taken control of the line of fortifications, which has always been regarded as the most serious barrier against German aggression in Central Europe;
            and that at the same time France:
            a) lost her most faithful ally in Central Europe,
            b) lost the army, which in wartime could be brought up to 1 million - 1,5 million people and, relying on the withdrawn fortifications, was able to detain a German army no less in number,
            c) that France has now lost all its allies, has severed ties with the USSR and significantly, even in the eyes of England, has devalued its specific weight and its role as an ally. <...>

      And, what still deserves attention is the behavior of Dzhugashvili in this situation. Back in 1933, they put on the table a translation of Hitler's "My Struggle". He knew how demoniac was about the USSR.

      Quite adequate behavior. Germany offered us some kind of guarantee. Britain and France did not offer anything, or rather a “treaty” in which there was nothing concrete, it was only assumed that in the event of Hitler’s aggression against the USSR, they would sympathize with us and root for us. They tried to develop the truth and the specifics regarding mutual military assistance, but there Poland already raised a screech that would not allow the Soviet troops even to the borders, not to mention transit through the territory. Those. the transfer of our troops to the aid of France itself, if it happened, was sharply complicated. Hitler suggested specifics - the delimitation of spheres of influence. As a result, we got time and territory. Without this pact, there would have been virtually the same war, but within the framework of the old Soviet borders. If we take into account how well we knew how and could fight, then we would definitely be knocked out of the Urals.

      And in my opinion, a non-aggression pact or agreement between Germany and Russia prevented the joint aggression of France, England, Germany, Japan, Poland, Turkey on the USSR. After all, just 3 allies - Poland, Germany and Hungary tore their neighbor Czechoslovakia. Earlier, Japan seized Manchuria and forced Russia to cede its rights to the CER for a pittance. Just as diplomatically, Japan demanded that the other Far Eastern territories, primarily North Sakhalin, be ceded. Before the conclusion of the pact, a conflict began on Khalkhin Gol, which seems to be more bloody war for Japan than occupation of Poland, Norway or France separately for Germany (it may be proportionate in France). A cease-fire with Japan without a non-aggression pact with Germany could have been the Minsk agreements as Donbas is now. And German politicians and military men were smarter than Polish ones and did not dare to be cannon fodder for Polish and French politicians. Therefore, when the Poles tried to tear Lithuania apart, the Germans did not support them. Then the Poles began the blockade of Danzig and their customs officers began to mock the Germans at checkpoints around Danzig. So it is now. It did not work out cheaply in turn to tear Russia, China and the DPRK, the Western world began to squabble among themselves. Perhaps in 50 years some historians will also blame Russian politicians of 2010-20 for something for preventing a new catastrophe. World War III may also occur as a bandwagon of Islamic extremists. This was calculated back in the 20-30 years of the 20th century.

      Government of the USSR and the Government of Germany
      Guided by the desire to strengthen the cause of peace between the USSR and Germany, and proceeding from the main provisions of the treaty of neutrality concluded between the USSR and Germany in April 1926, the following agreement was reached:
      Article I
      Both Contracting Parties undertake to refrain from any violence, from any aggressive action and any attack against each other, both separately and jointly with other powers.
      Article II
      In the event that one of the Contracting Parties becomes the object of military action by a third power, the other Contracting Party will not support this power in any form.
      Article III
      The governments of both Contracting Parties will remain in contact with each other in the future for consultation in order to inform each other about issues affecting their common interests.
      Article IV
      None of the Contracting Parties will participate in any grouping of powers that directly or indirectly directed against the other party.
      Article V
      In the event of any disputes or conflicts arising between the Contracting Parties of one kind or another, both parties will resolve these disputes or conflicts exclusively by peaceful means in a friendly exchange of views or, if necessary, by setting up commissions to resolve the conflict.
      Article VI
      This contract is concluded for a period of ten years so that since one of the Contracting Parties does not denounce it a year before the expiration of the term, the contract is automatically renewed for the next five years.
      Article VII.
      This treaty is subject to ratification as soon as possible. The exchange of instruments of ratification must take place in Berlin. The contract enters into force immediately after its signing.

      Compiled in two originals, in German and Russian, in Moscow, August 23 1939.

      SECRET ADDITIONAL PROTOCOL
      TO AGREEMENT BETWEEN GERMANY AND THE SOVIET UNION


      When signing the non-aggression treaty between Germany and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the undersigned ombudsmen of both sides discussed in a strictly confidential manner the question of delimiting areas of mutual interests in Eastern Europe. This discussion led to the following result:
      1. In the event of a territorial-political reorganization of the regions belonging to the Baltic states (Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania), the northern border of Lithuania is at the same time the border of the spheres of interests of Germany and the USSR. At the same time, the interests of Lithuania in relation to the Vilnius region are recognized by both parties.
      2. In the event of a territorial-political reorganization of the regions belonging to the Polish State, the border of the spheres of interest of Germany and the USSR will be approximately along the line of the rivers Narew, Vistula and Sana. The question of whether it is desirable in the mutual interests to preserve the independent Polish State and what the borders of this state will be can only be finally clarified in the course of further political development. In any case, both Governments will resolve this issue by way of friendly mutual agreement.
      3. Concerning the southeast of Europe from the Soviet side, the USSR’s interest in Bessarabia is underlined. On the German side, it declares its complete political disinterest in these areas.
      4. This protocol will be kept by both parties in strict confidence.

            since there is a question in your phrase, I will answer: in those ancient times it was customary to turn to the enemy on you, precisely because the enemy was respected. Not a trash, go, a sub-fence, but a head of any state / principality. Do you understand? Respect for the people around you is a sign of your upbringing and inspires respect for you personally!

            And the rest - yes, I agree: our dialogue is absolutely hopeless

    Why do they hate the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact so much?
    Because they followed the same path, but they did not succeed, and we were able, though by a miracle, the situation was almost out of control. Because we are strong and, by and large, not conquered, unlike them.

    In Russian, the appeal “to you” has gradually come into use since the XNUMXth century due to the strong influence of the French language and culture, primarily in the circles of the aristocracy. There are theories that the original “you” was an appeal to the enemy. Prior to this, traditional Russian speech etiquette was used with its own system of familiar and formal addresses. Thus, the pronoun “you” could be addressed even to the tsar: “you, tsar-father ...”. The “Petition” (Petition of workers and residents of St. Petersburg to submit to Nicholas II) also uses “you” addressed to Tsar Nicholas II.

    Comrades, allow me to express my opinion on this issue. What the "progressive public" Geyropa is now writing in boiling water, what kind of kidneys are needed, does not bother me.
    What preceded the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, in August 1939, the Entente held military talks in Moscow2 and the Soviet side said that we did not have a joint border with the Reich, which means that Poland’s consent for the passage of our troops through Poland is necessary. Warsaw refused, and Stalin did not become empty and empty, and negotiations were over. Hitler fussed with his pact.
    Believe me, if Stalin had been the leader of any other country, and not the former RI, the librarians had forgiven him for a long time. If the revival of the Union began within the borders of Moldova or Georgia, and even better, the Moscow province, the Liberals would not even sneeze.
    The West is violet and socialism and all, and the revival of the Russian Empire, as it were called UNACCEPTABLE. Alexander 3 rightly said: “they fear our vastness”

    When discussing the article, I propose using several principles that will straighten the curve of discussion and shorten the path to consensus.
    The first. To all the miserable halleloys from a history such as lieutenants olgovichi and other blessed ones, recommend hiking and hiking along the popular route and assume that they have already followed the recommendations.
    Second. Recall the characterization of Churchill, who gently and lovingly called Poland the "Hyena of Europe."
    Third. As applied to Poland, the term “state” is used, but “an ethnic formation periodically arising in Europe with exorbitant ambitions used by European states for their political purposes”.
    Fourth. No need to make excuses. The USSR acted in its own interests. This is the fundamental principle of the foreign policy of any normal state. If they wish to object, let them cite examples from their own history when they sacrificed their interests for the sake of others. The most "patriotic" movements of international politics always have a "second bottom". If there were any obstacles in the way of these interests in the form of limitrophies, Poland and other bumps in big politics, no one has proposed other principles, despite the declarations. All real players in international politics have been following these principles for hundreds of years.
    Everything else is in favor of the poor. There was the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact. One of the many interstate agreements in the history of mankind that states have adopted in their interests. Next - see principle one.

    It’s you who don’t know the essence of the agreement and are engaged in balabol. "The parties to the agreement pledged to refrain from attacking each other and to maintain neutrality if one of them became the object of hostilities of a third party. The parties to the agreement also refused allied relations with other powers," directly or indirectly directed against the other side. ”Provided for the mutual exchange of information on issues affecting the interests of the parties."

    Good article, but with a fly in the ointment.

    Quote: “Only in a spiritually decayed society of“ Ivanes who do not remember kinship ”are they like a fish in water. Hence their so sincere love for the 20s and 90s of the last century - periods of political and moral collapse of the country, periods of open mockery of the most heroic pages of Russian history ”

    Here the author confused the 90s, when Russian bourgeois liberals surrendered the country to the West, with the 20s, when the Bolsheviks defended the country, despite the excesses of the leftists of the Trotskyist type.

    Quote: “Only in the“ blessed ”20s did the“ fiery revolutionaries ”(“ demons ”of that time) have the opportunity when sentencing to write: “Shoot like a patriot and the counter-revolutionary. "

    Where did the author read this? IN AND. Lenin, for example, in his speech in May 1918 said that after the establishment of Soviet power, there were no more patriots in Russia than the Bolsheviks. “We have been defenders since October 25, 1917. We are for the“ defense of the fatherland, ”but the domestic war we are heading for is a war for the socialist fatherland, for socialism as a fatherland, for the Soviet Republic, as a detachment of the world army of socialism” (Lenin V.I. Works, fourth edition. Vol. 27, p. 136-137).


    And further from the author: “Just yesterday, during the explosion of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, they joyfully jumped and shouted: "Let's pick up the hem of Mother Russia".

    This phrase is attributed either to Kaganovich or Trotsky, but this is an ordinary bike replicated by anti-Soviet activists, and in general the explosion of the temple does not apply to the fight against Russian patriotism. Here are other reasons.

      These spoons are enough for a full barrel. I'm not talking about this article. Unfortunately, even quite sane authors have similar pearls. For example, such an idea, they say, until Stalin destroyed the Leninist cadres, all kinds of revolutionaries there, the country developed at a slow pace. Here, 20 years. Equally. As M. V. Popov said, "Lenin was first beaten against Stalin, and now Stalin was beaten against Lenin." The main goal, after all, is to discredit the Marxist, communist idea. All methods are suitable for these purposes. Stalin is so Stalin. Let's make Joseph the first of him, and this will come down. We will write off the fact that he was a faithful Leninist to the insidious Asian nature of the Secretary General. Look how disguised! Tricky approach, nothing to say. So it’s walking like a sleeping virus in healthy outwardly looking cells this anti-rot, and at the right moment, it will work as they want. Before diarrhea, after all, bloodsuckers are afraid of communist ideas. I hope they wait for him.

        That's right, the bourgeoisie, seeing interest in the name of Stalin and his time, decided to privatize Stalin, sings to him praises that Stalin is a great statesman, and at the same time they are silent that he was primarily a Marxist, Bolshevik, internationalist ..

          I.V. Stalin, a great statesman, but this statement does not fit into their paradigm, "the Bolsheviks, having come to power, destroyed a prosperous state," so they try to get out, attributing to it almost mystical abilities. The logic of the anti-Soviet is lame, but, as it seems to them, iron. Look, they say, as soon as it was gone and stagnation began to build up in the USSR, which means that the socialist system itself is worthless, and it rested on one person. What happened after his death, the “palace coup”, actually happened, the counter-revolution with the advent of Khrushchev, this is thrown out of the task. At the same time, the economic margin of safety of the socialist system was enough for space, for the military-industrial complex, and for decent life for people in the 70-80 years. It took another, more global conspiracy to destroy the system from the inside. But here is the paradox, democratic Russia, continues to use all the same developments of the "command and administrative system", though gradually losing and squandering the inheritance. And the simple question is not raised, "where are the achievements of the most advanced economy in the history of civilization, capitalist?" For 25 years of Soviet power after the Civil War and for 25 years of democratic power in peacetime, are achievements comparable? And the sanctions were introduced in the 2014 year, and the USSR did not recognize the state at all and had no relations with it until the beginning of the 30's, that is, when the next systemic crisis began, and there was nowhere to go. As they say, compare the difference.

      An alliance can be concluded only with those who want it, and England and France in the summer of 1939 did not want this (the conclusion of an alliance) (and did not want it before, and later - until May 1940).

      No offense ... But you can’t stand a normal discussion, because all the time you are looking for the guilty person in the person of the military-political leadership of the USSR, while citing your own conclusions, forgetting about the circumstances that accompanied the conclusion of the Non-aggression Treaty.
      The position of the USSR in the summer of 1939 was based, at least, on the principle "A thin world is better than a good war." Mark Tullius Cicero
      The leadership of the USSR was well aware that the Great War could not be avoided, but since it was not possible to create an anti-Hitler coalition (see reasons above), it was forced to conclude a memorable treaty with Germany in order to prepare for war on the most favorable conditions, using the "2-year-old respite.

    Well, you have recognized that the International was an international criminal group that spread anti-state ideas. Because it would be different to evaluate the activity, for example, of the FKP International, which called on soldiers to desert from the army. And this at a time when Germany in 1939 declared war on France. Who else were the French Communists, if not criminals and accomplices of the enemy?

    On September 3, 1939, the English Foreign Minister Halifax received the German Chargé d'Affaires in London and handed him a note stating:
    “... Today at 9 o’clock in the morning, His Majesty’s Ambassador to Berlin, on my instructions, notified the German government that if today, September 3, before 11:3 pm English summer time, His Majesty’s government would not receive a satisfactory answer from the German government in London, then starting from the indicated hour, both states are at war. Since no such assurances have been received, I have the honor to inform that both states, starting from September XNUMX, are at war. ”
    On September 3, speaking in the House of Commons, Chamberlain said: Great Britain entered the war with Germany. “Today,” the prime minister lamented, “is a sad day for all of us, and especially for me. "Everything that I worked for, everything that I so hoped for, everything that I believed in throughout my political life turned into ruins."
    Indeed, Cheberlen’s plans to provoke a German attack on the Soviet Union crashed in those days. Germany began with a war against the ally of England and France - Poland. (historian professor F.D. Volkov).
    And who declared war to whom? And who prepared the crusade against the USSR? The government of the USSR was forced to conclude a pact with Germany, so as not to fight with all of Europe, led by the British.

    So-so - lengthy superficial judgments about the pact, not claiming to have an in-depth knowledge of the issue.

    If we talk about the moral point of view - the pact is immoral.

    If we talk about the fact that he gave 2 years to rearm the Red Army and prepare for war - this is a brilliant - saving agreement for the USSR and it had to be signed despite its immorality.

    It’s good to talk about immorality sitting on an island with a powerful fleet and beyond the Maginot line.
