100 years of guilt before the Russian soldier

178


In just over a year, Europe will mark a hundred years since the end of the First World War. The victors - with pathos, the defeated - just pay tribute to their dead.



But will celebrate. And not because that war in Europe is called the Great War. Although this too.

As always, we will have silence, perhaps, of course, something disturbed. Attempts are made from time to time, but ... It is difficult to talk about what 100 was silent for years.



Even in school textbooks today, a couple of paragraphs are allotted to that war at best. So it was all 70 years of Soviet power, so there is almost 30 years of democratic.

Yes, it is difficult to clearly speak about the war, in which, being in the winning coalition, Russia turned out to be the losers. There were many reasons for this, which we will definitely analyze in detail, but the basic idea is absolutely not about that.

Russia was drawn into that war, not having (unlike the allies) no territorial claims or a desire to stop the development of opponents. First Russia declared war only on the Ottoman Empire, from the rest it took up the challenge.



And the Russian soldier again, like 100 years before, in the war against the European team under the command of Napoleon, became the savior of Europe. And not only Europe, speaking of the battles of the First World War, for some reason, we completely forget about the Caucasian front.

If it were not for the stamina of the Russian soldier, if not for the Eastern Front, which had become a bloody meat grinder for the troops of the Central Powers, we have no doubt about the outcome of the war. England, of course, would sit behind the strait, bristling with its instruments fleetand France would be a bat. How was beaten by the Germans shortly before this war.

For some reason, for some reason, we do not take alliedies like Italy and Romania.

The Russian soldier became the shield that the troops of the Fourth Alliance (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire) fought against. And shield reliable. What happened in 1917 year is a separate conversation, but before the October events Russia was a reliable ally, and the Russian soldier was an honest ally of the British and French.



Unjustly forgotten, even in their own country.

Having arranged a simple poll in my own social circle, I interviewed more than 40 people. From 20 to 50 years. The results are terrifying. I will not give results, it is too shameful.

We simply do not know anything about that war and about the role of our ancestors in it. Shameful bleating - that's what I heard from the majority of respondents.

Blame it? If it is to blame, then our Soviet and Russian educational systems, which over the course of 100 years, preferred to keep silent about the role that our ancestors played in that war.

So, something needs to be fixed, even in 100 years.

Russian soldiers and officers are not to blame for forgetting about them. They simply fulfilled their duty, for faith, the king and fatherland, performing feats in the name of these simple truths.



And this, we note, were the fathers and grandfathers of those who, through 23 of the year (only!), Got in the way of the fascist hordes. And there were those who took the second time weaponand again became a world war soldier.

We with the Belarusian colleague and historian Alexander Prokurat decided to publish here a series of materials on stories Russian army in the First World War. And thus give at least part of that bit of respect to our ancestors who honestly fought for Russia in the fields of that war.

This is the minimum that requires us to respect the stamina and spirit of the Russian soldier, his honor.

We hope that these articles will be interesting to readers. We were joined by people who are not indifferent to this topic from Russia, Belarus, Poland and Germany, so there is confidence that we will be able to slightly open up previously unknown pages of our history.

In the name of honor and glory of the Russian soldier.

      And order number 1 issued. http://www.hrono.ru/dokum/191_dok/19170301prikaz1

      ORDER No. 1
      PETROGRAD COBETA WORKERS AND SOLDIER DEPUTIES ABOUT DEMOCRATIZATION OF THE ARMY.
      1 March 1917 city

      Order No. 1 of the Petrograd Soviet was adopted on March 1, 1917 at a joint meeting of the working and soldier sections of the Council. A special commission was formed to develop the order. It was headed by a member of the Executive Committee of the Petrosoviet, N.D. Sokolov, who left interesting memoirs on how the text of the order was created.

      According to the garrison of the Petrograd district, to all soldiers of the guard, army, artillery and navy for immediate and accurate execution, and to the workers of Petrograd for information.

      The Council of Workers 'and Soldiers' Deputies decided:

      1) In all companies, battalions, regiments, parks, batteries, squadrons and individual services of various military departments and on the ships of the navy, immediately select committees from elected representatives from the lower ranks of the above military units.

      2) In all military units that have not yet elected representatives to the Council of Workers' Deputies, elect one representative each, who will come with written certificates to the State Duma building by 10 a.m. on March 2 this morning.

      3) In all its political speeches, the military unit is subordinate to the Council of Workers 'and Soldiers' Deputies and its committees.

      4) The orders of the military commission of the State Duma should be executed, unless they contradict the orders and decisions of the Council of Workers 'and Soldiers' Deputies.

      5) All kinds of weapons, such as rifles, machine guns, armored vehicles, etc., must be at the disposal and control of company and battalion committees and in no case should be given out to officers even upon their requirements.

      6) In the ranks and in the discharge of official duties, soldiers must observe the strictest military discipline, but out of service and in their political, civil and private life, soldiers cannot be diminished in anything in the rights that all citizens enjoy. In particular, standing in front and obligatory giving honor outside the service is canceled.

      7) The title of officers is abolished in the same way: Your Excellency, Honor, etc., and is replaced by an appeal: Mr. General, Mr. Colonel, etc.

      Rude treatment of soldiers of any military ranks and, in particular, appeal to them on the "you" is prohibited, and of any violation of this, as well as of all misunderstandings between officers and soldiers, the latter must inform the company commanders.

      Read this order in all companies, battalions, regiments, crews, batteries and other combatant and non-combatant teams. <...>

              It was necessary to make the revolution irreversible. A disciplined army at the front could be used to suppress February.
              Either Milyukov .. or Guchkov (I don’t remember) in the 23 year, he spoke directly about this.

                  It is a myth.
                  Only parts standing in Petrograd partially decomposed. And long standing in Petrograd idle. At the front, discipline was normal at the time of February.

      Your thought is either deep, but incorrect, or the word beguiled. In October, the Bolsheviks SHOWN power that no one wanted to take. We picked up and, instead of empty talk, began to act. Tired of war? - Peace Decree. Want to eat? - Decree of the Earth. And since Russia was 95% peasant, the specific actions of the authorities were aimed at the aspirations of Russia. 5% of the intelligentsia could only chat and collect a coin for the cordon.

        I think this is just your opinion, I didn’t want to. If you didn’t want to, then why so much money was swollen both in the war itself and the revolutions themselves. V.I. Lenin did not pick up power at all, and he stole it in the most impudent manner from those who organized this very revolution and paid generously. Remember: only the Provisional Government of A. Kerensky from overseas sent a couple of tranches of $ 400 million, not counting the rest of the costs. What do you think bankers for idiots scattering their money? And I personally have a completely different opinion about them, about these hunks.

          Who was the most active supporter and “breakdown force” of Order No. 1? Who first ruined the "vertical line of command" of the army, and then began to broadcast about strengthening discipline up to executions (after which deserters poured from the army in a rampart)? Who anticipated the Bolshevik surplus-appraisal - up to the armed seizure of bread from large owners and all producers from the villages closest to the railway stations? Who armed the Red Guard?

          If Nicholas II deserved the Order of the October Revolution for No. 1, then Alexander Fedorovich should have been awarded the same order for No. 2.

            Maybe it's a bike, but funny. The correspondent of one of the Western newspapers interviewed A.F. Kerensky and asked the question, "What had to be done to prevent the October Revolution?" Kerensky replies, "it was necessary to shoot one man." Correspondent, "Lenin?", Answer: "no, A. F. Kerensky." Even if the joke is indicative.

          yeah. and still a few hundred milleins shot. we know. passed. but in fact-
          The well-known agronomist and publicist Alexander Nikolaevich Engelhardt wrote about what the export of grain turned out to be for the Russian peasantry:
          “When last year everyone rejoiced, rejoiced that there was a poor harvest abroad, that the demand for bread was high, that prices were growing, that export was increasing, some of the men were not happy, they looked askance at sending bread to the Germans ... We do not sell bread out of excess, that we sell our daily bread abroad, the bread we need for our own food
          We send wheat, good clean rye abroad, to the Germans, who will not eat all kinds of rubbish. We burn the best, pure rye for wine, and the worst rye, with fluff, bonfire, calf and all sorts of hang-ups obtained by cleaning rye for distilleries - that’s what a man eats. But not only does the peasant eat the worst bread, he is still malnourished. If there is enough bread in the villages, they eat three times; there was a depreciation in bread, breads are short - they eat twice, lean more on a spring, potatoes, hemp pulp are added to bread. Of course, the stomach is full, but people are losing weight due to poor food, getting sick, guys grow tighter, just like what happens with badly kept cattle ...
          Do the children of the Russian farmer have the kind of food they need? No, no and NO. Children eat worse than calves from a host with good livestock. The mortality of children is much greater than the mortality of calves, and if the owner of a good cattle had mortality of calves as high as that of a man, then it would be impossible to manage. Do we want to compete with the Americans when our children don’t have white bread even in their nipples? If mothers ate better, if our wheat, which the German eats, remained at home, then the children would grow up better and there would be no such mortality, all these typhus, scarlet fever, diphtheria would not rage. Selling our wheat to a German, we sell our blood, i.e. peasant children. ”as Minister Visegradsky said at the same time about exporting grain at that time:“ We are undernourished, but we’ll export it. ”and now the myth of intelligent owners - 83 percent of the bread originated in landowners and kulak farms. 17 let's tell us that they were all drunkards and mediocrity. then the hungry ussr bread consumption per capita was higher than the well-fed tsarist Russia. because people began to be fed up, though not immediately afterwards, never our peasant, like everyone else though bread didn’t interfere with quinoa. before yelling at least they got interested in a question.

      I respect the opinion of the author, but I do not think that it is necessary for people to create the image of a “Russian soldier,” to which everyone around must. It was as if there was no Marne and Verdun, and many other multimillion meat grinders in the West, as if only the Russians were at war. Why so frankly mislead people ??? And after the defeat of the Russian Empire, Germany transferred huge forces to the West, but for almost half a year it was not able to break the Anglo-French forces. It was exhausted in the end and defeated. Is such a period short for the "undoubted defeat of France," as the author writes. Or the French and English forces were not exhausted just as well. as are the forces of all the warring parties.

        I think that about the defeat of the Kaiser army, you are very excited here. Look: at the time of the “surrender” of the GI there was not a single soldier of the army hostile to them on the territory of this empire itself. Is it possible in this case to speak of a certain defeat? There they happened exactly the same as in the Republic of Ingushetia "katavasiya", Kaiser Wilheim was simply removed from the administration of the country by the method of imprisonment in the castle, after which his cousins ​​managed to completely sign the surrender. It is a pity that we are so fond of studying the history of neighboring countries so as not to know such nuances from our neighbors. They fought, fought, but no one won and no one lost, there was a simple and elementary "agreement". This is usually done by big politics, and not at all on the battlefields.

          The economy is at war, and it is in Germany and went into crisis because of the war. I could not stand it. There is no fundamental occupation. After all, Germany did not occupy the whole Russian Empire, and in past wars, as a rule, the enemy’s capital was rarely occupied. Usually before the war ended.

                      With machine guns, everything was on par, about the same as with rifles - a little less than in Germany. And the production of manual ones did not have time to launch until February, although they built a plant. Then at this factory the Bolsheviks were already making weapons.

                      And realities, they are.
                      In April 1915, the GAU raised the question of bringing the number of machine guns in the infantry regiments to 16 and the Cossack and cavalry regiments to 8. That the staff was brought up to 616 infantry (2 per company or 32 per regiment) and 256 Cossack and cavalry regiments (8 each ) it was required by the end of January 1917 to put 19564 machine guns into the army, 720 into reserve battalions and 10886 into reserve. In just 16 months - 31170 machine guns. Naturally, the only machine-gun department of the Imperial name of Peter the Great of the Tula Arms Plant could not cope with such volumes. On July 24, 1914, the Head of the artillery technical institutions ordered the production of machine guns to be increased to 80 units per month (from the current 60), and on September 23, the Supreme Commander increased this requirement to 180-202 per month. However, until the end of 1914, ITOZ issued only 828 machine guns.
                      In March 1915, with great efforts, the daily production of machine guns on ITOZ was increased by 3 times. On average, 10,5 units were produced (in the pre-war time, this figure was 3,5). Sokolov's machine tool production was increased 4 times (6 units per day versus 1,5). If ITOZ for the whole of 1914 produced 1,3 thousand machine guns and only 800 machine tools, then in 1915 these figures were 4,3 thousand and 2,5 thousand, respectively, in 1916 -11,1 thousand and 8 thousand ., in 1917 - 11,4 thousand and 5 thousand. Of course, the number of machine guns delivered was slightly less: in 1914 - 1184, in 1915 - 4251, in 1916 - 11072 machine guns. For comparison, in 1914 only 287 machine guns were fired in England, and 6102 during the next year; Before the war in Germany, up to 200 units were produced per month, by August 1916 the monthly output was 2300 machine guns, and by the spring of 1917 this figure was 14400.https: //topwar.ru/13549-postavki-pulemetov-

        and our soldiers who were sent to die for France?

        It’s just a masterpiece ... Our soldiers fought for France - and they fought not by the same Germans, but unknowingly with anyone, presumably, exclusively in the interests of the French bourgeoisie ...
        Even the main Soviet ideologist Suslov could be proud of such a conclusion ....

        The fate of the war was decided by Germany in the fields of France and not by Austro-Hungarian in the east. Of course, without the Russian front, the Entente’s victory was unlikely, but by the forces and means spent by Germany in the epic of battles, the eastern front was secondary. This, of course, does not detract from the heroism of Russian soldiers and officers.

          The defeat of AB put an end to all the efforts of Germany to defeat France. A quick defeat AB put Germany’s quick checkmate. That is why, at the end of 1916, both Bulgarians and even Turks fought in AB. The goal is the same - to prevent defeat of AB.

    Russia was the first to declare war only on the Ottoman Empire, from the rest it accepted the challenge

    If not for the sneaky blow of the German-Turks on the Black Sea ports

They were interested in the literary heroes of the works of L. N. Tolstoy, F. M. Dostoevsky, A. S. Pushkin. Students were asked about when the Second World War began, and I’m not talking about the date of the Battle of Kulikovo. According to the latest data, we took 11, in my opinion, a place in the mathematical olympiad. I will say more, not all recruits know the multiplication table, and in a nutshell of ten letters, they write with three errors at best. But, the authors are outraged by another.

      There were answers about Chapaev: a literary character, he fought Africans with whites.
      On Kulikovo field Spartak was defeated.

    and after the defeat of the Russian Empire, Germany transferred huge forces to the West, but for almost half a year it was not able to break the Anglo-French forces. It was exhausted in the end and defeated.

    I think that about the defeat of the Kaiser army, you are very excited here. Look: at the time of the “surrender” of the GI there was not a single soldier of the army hostile to them on the territory of this empire itself. Is it possible in this case to speak of a certain defeat? There they happened exactly the same as in the Republic of Ingushetia "katavasiya", Kaiser Wilheim was simply removed from the administration of the country by the method of imprisonment in the castle, after which his cousins ​​managed to completely sign the surrender. It is a pity that we are so fond of studying the history of neighboring countries so as not to know such nuances from our neighbors. They fought, fought, but no one won and no one lost, there was a simple and elementary "agreement". This is usually done by big politics, and not at all on the battlefields.

    The black hole of our history is the First World War. I know the second, the first is not. Sinful.
    I suppose that it was greatly eclipsed by the revolution, civil, and then the Great Patriotic War. Plus politics - the rotten imperial regime and blah blah blah. Russian-Japanese did not erase like that because it was very out of the ordinary — a naval war with a unique campaign, with a naval battle influencing the course of world history. REV in this sense was lucky. But PMV - no. Everyone just knows that there was something, they fought, not very successfully in general, and they got out of the war, not that. Apparently from the fact that there was no bright victory or defeat, but everything is somehow sad and people have less desire to study it.

They are the children of those who extinct this memory from the soul of our people. Lenin not only canceled the historical faculties at universities, the Communists do not like to write on this subject, but would be worth it. Stalin restored them in 1932.

    The article is full of strange, to say the least, reasoning.
    1) “At best, a couple of paragraphs are given in textbooks on the WWI” I don’t know where the authors found such books, but in reality, not less than a couple of chapters were devoted to all the Soviet and post-Soviet textbooks of the WWI, and the number of scientific and military research of the WWII were estimated in the thousands. In the last 5 years, about WWII they say literally "from every iron."
    2) “Nobody talked about the feat of the Russian soldier.” This is simply not true, the heroism of ordinary Russian peasants and workers was not only not denied, but was always consistently emphasized.
    3) "Russia in the" coalition of winners "was among the losers." The Russian empire ceased to exist in March 1917, that is, it lost absolutely just disappeared before the end of the war .. Soviet Russia simply left this war in early 1918, and this allowed the Soviet government to strengthen and subsequently create the USSR. is there an analogy with the German Empire and Austria-Hungary?
    4) "Russia had no claims and attacked no one." But what about the straits and Galicia? And how did she attack anyone when RI was the first to declare general mobilization by launching the mechanism of world war. If, however, one professes the child’s thought that the attack is the declaration of war first, it turns out that Russia "attacked" the Ottoman Empire (which is simply not true) .
    Now we turn to a very strange thesis.
    5) "If it were not for the Entente, Russia would have lost." Firstly, not a fact, just the United States would have entered the war a little earlier. And secondly, so what? France would lose, and sneeze at it from a high bell tower. She lost to the Germans in 1871 too. Who are the authors worried about for the Russians or for the French? What do we care about France and its problems.
    6) “Analogies with Napoleon and the Second World War.” I recall Napoleon and Hitler invaded the Republic of Ingushetia and the USSR, and in these cases we were not at all “rescuers of Europe”, we defended our state and our country. Moreover, the USSR appeared precisely as a state that denies imperialist war, so the authors need to either remove the cross or put on their pants. Either they glorify the WWII, or the Second World War. But not at all together.
    7) "Fought in the name of simple truths-faith, middle name, King." Suppose, but then, why did the empire cease to exist during this battle? Truths ceased to be true? And then did the WWII end in February 1917? What "truths" were fought for in July 1917.
    8) "Russia saved Europe." Is it at least stand, at least fall. And that Germany is no longer Europe? And how did Russia “save Europe” by participating in intra-European squabbles? And why should Russia save someone? According to the authors, the function of Russians to die in the name of Europe?
    In fact, the Entente simply used the Russians as cannon fodder which is not a pity, just like the United States uses the citizens of Ukraine now. And just like the authors of the article, the Maidan propagandists assure the quickly utilized Ukrainians that they heroically "protect Europe" from Russian aggression . That is, they are not just meaningless cannon fodder perishing in a war they do not need, but entire "savior of Europe" which for some reason does not appreciate their great feats.

    Over the years of the First World War, about 260 thousand machine guns of the MG.08, 08 / 15 and 08 / 18 models were released in Germany, of which only 72 thousand were mounted.
    And this is a reference to you, where the number of machine guns issued by the "strong industry" RI.M and in many armament positions, contrary to your ury / patriotic cliques, is not very important for the number of machine guns. It’s such a harsh one ...


    Comrade, do not try to give out well-known figures for some kind of revelation. Namely, Germany FOR THE WHOLE WAR, i.e. to November 1918 was issued approx. 72 thousand machine guns. True, there is an opinion that this includes pre-war release, and during the war Germany released approx. 67 thousand. easel machine guns. Russia for the war, since July 1914 until december 1917 released more than 28 thousand. easel machine guns.
    Until 1917, i.e. for 1914-1916 RI released 16,2 thousand. easel machine guns, Germany during the same time less than 30 thousand. easel and MANUAL. How many of this number was just easel, I can not say. But the fact is that in both the German and Russian army at that time there was one norm for the number of machine guns - one machine gun per company.

        Undoubtedly, no one says that there were no problems. But, in principle, there were few where they were released, and where they were released they did not know what to do with them. Production was already unfolding during the war, having given birth to such rare freaks as the Shosh machine gun and MG 08/15. Russia is no exception. More precisely, the exception is that Russia at least had a handbrake at the beginning of the war. But in launching in-house production this excellent machine gun was 1,5-2 years late from France and Germany (which, in general, is a common thing for Russia), getting purchases was an opportunity.

                Tovarisch, do not cheat, or do you think I already forgot what was going on? It was a call of 16-year-olds.
                Light machine guns were even at the beginning of the war and more than Germany and France, but purchased. And in 1917 there was a plant for its production and the first experimental batch.

                  "but purchased." - And how did the owl scream when it pulled onto the globe? How many internal combustion engines were there? And bearings again (and why did the Germans plan to bomb all bearing factories in the first place) .. And what about the machine guns? eroplanes? And at least one of the developed tanks was put into operation? And where were the ships mostly built? And where did you get the electrical equipment (though they invented the electric engine)? And what did the commies from all over the world buy equipment if everything was before ?

    I wouldn’t just rise up in their place and put the command to the bottom .. the fleet should go to sea and die heroically with honor .. for this it is necessary to hang flags instead of flags ..

    Then we are surprised that it suddenly moved to Moscow in the Great Patriotic War. They had everything they needed. Greater Army, advanced weapons (according to the statements of the Communists). So maybe they didn’t have one small, but great Honor? What a wonderful opinion, however. It was necessary to run away, to hide, to be saved, but not to die .. what was Svyatoslav with his "we will lie down with bones but we will not shame Russia", "the dead do not have shame." Right? Remember being a coward is easy. Highly. And honor can be lost in an instant. And to recover almost never.
    The Roman legionary Horatio once said, "And there is no greater honor than that which you are ready to accept. For the bones of your ancestors. For the temple of your Gods." Live a coward and rejoice that in Russia there are always people who will die, including for you. And you will be clever, that it was not necessary. Apparently, Leningrad did not have to be defended, and Sevastopol and Novorossiysk and Stalingrad. There was no need to die. After all, it hurts to die. It's forever. But not to be there, and then blaming those who went to death is cool, huh? They also gagged who put the plus. Judah
