The real national treachery is the Belovezhsky conspiracy, not the Brest peace.

The real national treachery is the Belovezhsky conspiracy, not the Brest peace.Vladimir Putin, speaking last week in the Federation Council and answering questions, said that the cause of Russia's defeat in the First World War was “national betrayal” and imputed him to the “then leadership of the country”, i.e. the Bolsheviks who went to the conclusion Brest Peace. True, he immediately clarified to balance: “They carried this cross upon themselves. They have redeemed their guilt before the country during the Second World War, the Great Patriotic War - this is true. ”

At the same time, he expressed the thesis that as a result Russia lost the war to the already losing side, as a result of which “huge territories, huge interests of the country were given, put incomprehensibly for what interests, for the sake of party interests of only one group that wanted to stabilize its position in power” . “How the Second World War differs from the First, in fact, is not clear. There is really no difference, ”“ it was primarily about the geopolitical interests of the countries involved in the conflict ”- here are a few quotes from his speech in the Federation Council.

Putin vain said all this. In vain he accused the then leadership of betrayal. If only because the territorial losses of Russia as a result of the Brest peace were much less than its territorial losses as a result of Belovezhya. And the government accused of national betrayal returned most of its losses within 9 months after the conclusion of peace, which itself honestly described as “bawdy”, and this world denounced. And the governments of Russia that destroyed the union state to usurp power in their republics, and after two decades have returned almost nothing, even while Putin himself was in power.

In vain, he declared that there was no difference between the First and Second World Wars, if only because during the first one, no one ever talked about the enslavement of the peoples of Russia and the destruction of its statehood. And in the course of the second, it was about this, and also about the physical destruction of its population.

And in vain he reduced the essence of the war in the justifying intonation to the geopolitical interests of the warring powers. If only because the mere existence of geopolitical interests, which are always there, does not justify war. The United States in Vietnam also fought for their "geopolitical interests." And Iraq has been invaded in the name of its "geopolitical interests." And Yugoslavia was bombed in the name of their own. And Libya. And they killed Hussein, Milosevic and Gaddafi just for the sake of their "geopolitical interests." But it seems that neither Putin nor any other sane person on this basis justifies them. And the United States is creating its missile defense system against Russia in order to protect its “geopolitical interests” ...

Geopolitical interests can be very different. And, for that matter, some of them turn out to be the geopolitical interests of some classes and other classes of the same country.

The interests in the name of which Russia fought in World War I were different and very controversial, and most of the country was not inspired. And even the most attractive of them — the establishment of control over the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles — was by no means worth the losses incurred by Russia during the war itself. There is still a dispute over the loss figures, but the minimum known estimate (General Directorate General Staff of the Russian Army from October 3 1917) is 750 000 killed and missing, 3,2 million wounded, 2 million prisoners. According to modern data, the demographic losses of Russia are 2,2544 million, the sanitary losses are 3,749 million and the losses of prisoners are 3,3439 million people.

The Serbian question, which has become a formal pretext for war, is also rather ambiguous, both with respect to stories and the objectives of the Sarajevo assassination (the murdered Ferdinand was considered one of the most illustrious political leaders of Austria-Hungary), and on the main point of discrepancy: Austria demanded from Serbia a controversial thing - to participate in the investigation of the murder on the territory of Serbia itself (which, by the way, today's Russia regarding the participation of Polish investigators in the investigation after the death of Kaczynski near Smolensk). Moreover, in response to Russia's demand, Austria agreed to give it guarantees of respect for Serbian sovereignty.

If we talk about national treachery, then under it you should rather understand how the Russian government then embroiled in a world war (all more or less responsible leaders of the empire, beginning with Stolypin, were categorically against it) and the way it was conducted. The Russian army in combat training was at that time the best army in the world, but it was absolutely adventuristly sent into battle and condemned to defeat either by thoughtless and mostly illiterate decisions of the high command, or by constant undersupply. The army sometimes fought heroically, but it was constantly betrayed by the then royal power. As a result, by the winter of 1916-17. in the army there were one and a half million deserters, the officers were unsafe to appear in the trenches, and the troops did not rise to the attack on any orders. It would be possible to talk about many things here, but in 1917, the Bolsheviks only expressed the general desire of the people to get out of the war, and national betrayal was to keep Russia in the war, not out of it. The army did not want to fight and, most likely, would not have sold out in February 1918, but by the fall of 1917, if the same Bolsheviks did not hold it in positions with the promise of an early peace and thesis “Fight for peace, keep the front!” .

By February, the choice was simple: either withdraw from the war at any cost, or remain in the war, but with a spontaneously diverging army. By the way, calling for the defeat of their own government during the war, the Bolsheviks never called for the victory of Germany and the defeat of Russia. Their call suggested that armies should turn weapon both against the Russian government and against the governments of Germany and other countries. And having gone to the Treaty of Brest, it was they who, in fact, predicted the defeat of Germany. On the one hand, they refused to fight for the interests of France and England, who many times had previously exploited the military prowess of Russia, but always tried to steal the victory from her. On the other hand, they forced the warring parties to fight among themselves, providing Russia with a respite. On the third, they showed Germany and her army that the war could be ended, they let in the "smell of peace", after which she could not fight.

The Brest Peace was in fact a national salvation.

Peace conditions could be less severe. And the main thing that was lost on them is Ukraine. But if Putin’s advisors were more erudite, they would know that the nationalist Central Rada seized power, declaring independence in the summer of 1917, made peace with Germany before Russia concluded it, which at the time caused Ukraine’s loss. The Bolsheviks tried to overthrow her in January 1918, but then they did not have the strength. And on January 27 (February 9) 1918, a separate agreement was signed with Germany and Austria-Hungary, which assumed the occupation of Ukraine. Soviet Russia signed the Brest World only 3 March 1918 of the year, being largely in a stalemate. The Brest negotiations themselves are a separate and more than dramatic story. But the agreement to the demands of Germany was a brilliant political gambit: the Bolsheviks clearly understood that this world would be short-lived, that by giving Germany peace in the East, they actually deprive her army of the will to fight in the West.

It is not true that by the beginning of 1918, Germany was already the losing party. Her troops were on the territory of the countries that fought with her, and they were unable to force them to retreat. The German army was much closer to Petrograd, Paris and London than the Russian army (as well as the French and English) to Berlin.

Germany began to turn into a losing side, precisely being in a situation of half-world-half-war after Brest. And having placed the army in Ukraine and other occupied territories, it condemned itself to the torment and burden of supporting unpopular and incapable regimes.

The unwillingness of the German soldiers to fight led to the success of the last offensive of the Entente, the uprising did not want to fight fleet in Kiel, to the fall of the monarchy, the fall of the monarchy to the end of the war.

Having concluded the Brest Peace gambit with Germany, Soviet Russia deprived Germany of its army.

Here is the assessment of Richard Pipes, hardly attributable to anyone among the followers of the Bolsheviks: “Having shrewdly went to the humiliating world that gave him time to win, and then collapsed under the weight of his own weight, Lenin deserved wide confidence of the Bolsheviks. When 13 November 1918, they broke the Brest Peace, after which Germany capitulated to the Western allies, Lenin's authority was lifted up in the Bolshevik movement to an unprecedented height. Nothing better served his reputation as a person who did not make political mistakes; never again did he have to threaten to resign in order to insist on his own. "

Virtually everything that Russia lost in the Brest Peace, she returned six months later and by the end of the civil war. Yes, she did not return Poland, but she would have returned her in 1920 if all her former allies had not opposed her, preventing her from doing so.

Yes, national betrayal was. They were drawing Russia into the war. They were her incompetent knowledge. They were the recent destruction of the USSR. They were President Medvedev’s refusal from the results of the victory of the Russian army over Saakashvili’s militants in 2008. This should be called a national betrayal.

Indeed, Russia was not at Versailles among the winning countries. Only it is hardly worth upsetting that she did not become an accomplice of the robbery and a robber country.

And before making such categorical assessments to the government, which signed the Brest peace, but immediately eliminated the losses caused by it, it is necessary to begin with to at least eliminate the consequences of the Belovezhsky treachery and restore the territorial integrity of Russia.

    Well, I do not know.
    The author in my opinion is distorting something. I can’t say that Putin is really a fan, but he was the one who spoke about the collapse of the USSR as a catastrophic mistake. Therefore, he doesn’t need to blame Belovezhye.
    As for the First World War, of course it was different from the Second World War, but still it was our war, in which our soldiers died.
    And to be honest, I personally still respect the fallen soldiers and officers of the Russian army.
    WWII and WWII do not need to be opposed, they must be accepted and the heroes remembered.
    During the Soviet era, WWI (and its heroes) were forgotten.
    I think this is wrong.
    We remember the grandfathers who fought in WWII and absolutely do not want to remember the great-grandfathers who went on the attack in WWII.
    It’s as if we broke the connection between generations of Russian soldiers. In vain.
    Well, the author’s indignation is somehow not very clear to me. How did he get indignant?
    Apparently a collision with the Bolshevik government.
    Well, he does not like the GDP of the Bolsheviks (maybe). That is his right. So what

    PS By the way, the collapse of the USSR can be attributed precisely to the Bolsheviks (EBN and comrades are not from their ranks, and didn’t they come to power under the Bolsheviks?)

      who understands how, if a causal relationship is made between the vulgar and the present, then one should not evaluate and conceive whoever he thinks, as they say in united Russia. Yes, they forgot their defenders in the political surroundings of 1914-1918, but the people did not forget. But to the sounds of promises by all the participants in the Second World War by 10 years for housing, again the misfire is just noise. Well, if the GDP does not like the Bolsheviks, why does he recall the participants in the war who fought under the leadership of the Bolsheviks. And his military oath of the USSR.

        So maybe it’s right. I always said that it is not necessary to say that the Bolsheviks won the war. The war was won by the people. But a veteran, he is a veteran, and what difference does it make, he was a Bolshevik or, so to speak, non-partisan

          The First World War and the Second World War are one and the same war with a break for redeployment and rearmament! Only here, due to revolutionary events, an ideological partition was formed between them, and throughout the Soviet era this partition was only carefully studded.

            Absolutely fair thought! The history of World War I is skewed purely for ideological reasons by the Bolsheviks. In fact, this is far from an open layer of the heroic history of the Russian army. To speak of the defeat of Russia in World War I is absurd. The Bolsheviks removed Russia from the war in order to preserve their still weak power. And the Russian army, until it was decomposed by the same Bolsheviks, showed vivid examples of courage and military professionalism. By the way, a small fact: the Germans did not reach the Volga World War I, but stamped around the border zone. So what kind of defeat can we talk about ??

              How much can one prove to the "talents" that the Bolsheviks have nothing to do with it! Everything fell down much earlier, when no one perceived the Bolsheviks as how little force!
              They didn’t get to the Volga just because they started a lot to the west, and they didn’t take the Eastern Front seriously - for the Germans, the main struggle was in the West!

I have one friend. So, until recently, the Soviet regime abused it, with its censorship, and with a lack of publicity, that its ears were sluggish. Now the poor fellow swears in the opposite direction. Now he has nowhere to put this freedom of speech and publicity. There are so many lies, permissiveness, vulgarity and all kinds of muck that it is simply not possible to separate the grains from the chaff. Not for the older generation, who have still received Soviet education, but for children who sometimes scratch such nonsense, moreover, the nonsense brought out of school and on television, which sometimes breaks down.

            Gur,
            The contract consisted of 14 articles and various applications. Article 1 established the cessation of the state of war between the Soviet Republic and the countries of the Fourth Union. Significant territories were torn away from Russia (Poland, Lithuania, part of Belarus and Latvia). At the same time, Soviet Russia was to withdraw troops from Latvia and Estonia, where German troops were introduced. Germany retained the Gulf of Riga, the Moonsund Islands. Soviet troops were to leave Ukraine, Finland, the Aland Islands, as well as the districts of Ardagan, Kars and Batum, which were transferred to Turkey. In total, Soviet Russia lost about 1 million km2 (including Ukraine). Under article 5, Russia pledged to fully demobilize the army and navy, including units of the Red Army; under article 6, it recognized the peace treaty of the Central Rada with Germany and its allies and, in turn, concluded a peace treaty with the Rada and determined the border between Russia and Ukraine. B. m. Restored 1904 customs tariffs extremely disadvantageous for Soviet Russia in favor of Germany. On 27 on August 1918 in Berlin, a Russian-German financial agreement was signed, under which Soviet Russia was obliged to pay Germany in various forms an indemnity in the amount of 6 billion marks. (based on BES materials) plus ships add export of strategic food supplies from the occupied territory this is not enough?

                October 1917 - the revolution that destroyed the Russian Empire, November 1918 - Novemberrevolution, which destroyed the German Empire. A year and 1 month after our Oktoberrevolution, Germany collapsed by itself, in the absence of any attacks on it, only due to the corruption of red propaganda, at the very moment when the happy German government was able to finally pull all forces from east to west and become the full owner of Western Europe !!! There were no promises for the German Revolution, and they were not necessary for the revolution purchased by the monopolists !! And now just imagine that the Brest peace has not been concluded and the Russian troops are advancing - yes, ours would have reached Berlin in a couple of months, crushing the army dispersed along endless fronts! The template of the revolution is painfully familiar, these revolutions are happening right before our eyes, and their only goal is to destroy the country from the inside, no matter how strong it is. Then the hidden or direct seizure of industry and resources by Western monopolists - and the thing is in the hat!

And, the Brest Peace, is also an advertising campaign that raised the authority of the Bolsheviks among the poorest people in Russia.

        I want to draw the attention of the patriotic assembly to some surprising coincidences in these events. When Prince Svyatoslav and his allies defeated Khazaria, he gathered in a Khazar fortress Sarkel on the Don (in Russian, White Vezha) a peace conference where, together with the allied khans, he determined the fate of Khazaria and its people. Subsequently, the Jewish hierarchs gathered the Sanhedrin in Constantinople and cursed all the peoples participating in the defeat of Khazaria. There are protocols of the Zionian wise men (it’s not for me to judge their authenticity) that lists all the cursed peoples who were sentenced to destruction by the Sanhedrin and ordered each Jew to work to bring these sentences to life. And this should happen in the place where Khazaria was sentenced. Sarkel has long been at the bottom of the Tsimlyansk Sea, but an amazing thing. Twice in the 20 century, Russia is on the brink of an abyss, and each time the Sanhedrin signs a protocol on its death in a surprisingly similar place by name, Bialowieza. Mystery and only.

        The same impression from what you read, the facts are true, but not all! First of all, the vile slogan of the leaders who tried to turn the imperialist war into a civil war is silent. There were mistakes, betrayal and venality, rottenness of the intellectual elites, and all these "useful idiots" were used by "internationalists" with a cannibalistic ideology specially bred as a sworn ally. As then, now there is enough crap to build the fifth column. The strength of the patriots is still not sustainable.

        Definitely: lying and distorting. Take at least a paragraph on the Slavic issue
        The Serbian issue, which became a formal reason for the war, is also rather ambiguous, both with regard to the history and objectives of the Sarajevo murder (the murdered Ferdinand was considered one of the most Slavic political leaders of Austria-Hungary) and the main point of discrepancy: Austria demanded a controversial thing from Serbia - participation in the investigation of the murder on the territory of Serbia itself (which, incidentally, today's Russia went to regarding the participation of Polish investigators in the investigation after the death of Kaczynski near Smolensk). Moreover, in response to Russia's demand, Austria agreed to give her guarantees of observance of Serbian sovereignty.


        Lies from beginning to end
        1.
        (killed Ferdinand was considered one of the most Slavic political leaders of Austria-Hungary)

        This is a lie and distortion. Archduke Ferdinand was a strong Russophobe. Perhaps, in comparison with the rest of the representatives of the top of Austria-Hungary, it could be called "Slavic", but in fact - no.

        2.
        on the main point of discrepancy: Austria demanded from Serbia a controversial thing - to participate in the investigation of the murder on the territory of Serbia

        Again a lie by allegory. Austria, spurred by Kaiser Wilhelm, demanded from Serbia as much as the entry of troops into its territory. An ultimatum was issued for a period of one day. Serbia accepted all (!) Points of the ultimatum, except for the introduction of troops.

        3.
        (which, incidentally, today's Russia went to regarding the participation of Polish investigators in the investigation after the death of Kachinsky near Smolensk)

        Poland did not require the introduction of troops to "restore order." And between Russia and Poland and Austria and Serbia the difference is huge. What Russia could afford without any problems would have been a doom for the then Serbia. Those. jerking again.

        4.
        Moreover, in response to Russia's demand, Austria agreed to give her guarantees of observance of Serbian sovereignty.

        It's a lie. Austria-Hungary brewed this mess precisely for the sake of the annexation of Serbia. Serbia accepted all (!) Points of the ultimatum, except for the introduction of troops. (for the sake of which everything was actually started). Seeing one single unaccepted point, Austria immediately declared war and began shelling Belgrade.
        Nobody guaranteed anything to Russia. Foreign Minister Sazonov, in response to a note from the Austrian ambassador, then said something like the following: "Look, then! The first blood is ours, Slavic."

And they always lived one day. They didn’t think about the future. And everything happened as they happened, because of their stupidity, unexpected for them like the arrival of winter in Russia, and not according to strategic calculations. And this idiot talks about his original hatred of totalitarianism only because that there is a demand, they pay well ...

      Firstly: the heroes of WWI were honored in the Kremlin along with the heroes of Port Arthur at a reception at Stalin (I don’t remember exactly what year it was, I think in 1935). Many participants of the WWII served in the Red Army and rose to the rank of marshals, for example: Zhukov, Budyonny, Vasilevsky, Egorov, Eremenko, and many others. If you studied in a Soviet school, then studied WWII and quite meticulously: reasons, waging war (for example : Brusilovsky breakthrough), and of course the Brest Peace. As for the agreement in Belovezhskaya Pushcha, here none of our rulers has yet given an assessment, some streamlined phrases. And how can they say something bad. it means bad to say about Yeltsin, but he fed them with his hands and gave them power. The Communists could not participate in the collapse of the USSR. You do not know the story well. Before the signing of the Bialowieza Treaty, a referendum was held and the majority of the population of the USSR was in favor of preserving the USSR. Yeltsin, even before the well-known events, was almost on the verge of exclusion from the party, but at the 19th party conference from the rostrum he swore allegiance to communist ideals, apologized for his statements, and asked the conference to leave him in the ranks of the CPSU. Chameleon - quickly repainted, then against the Communist Party, then immediately back. The signing of the agreement was supposed to happen in Moscow, but Yeltsin and his accomplices went against the wishes of the people, if the USSR was preserved, he could lose power and therefore this trio signed an agreement on the creation of the CIS and withdrawal from the USSR. One word - traitors! Our government, instead of condemning the actions of Yeltsin and accomplices, glorifies Yeltsin, calls him after the streets, libraries, etc. .They, GDP and DAM, if you paid attention, in your speeches in honor of the Victory, began to emphasize that the coalition won the war, saying that along with the armies of the USA, England and France, Soviet troops won the war. They began to belittle the participation of the USSR in the war. They are all sick of the Soviet, especially Medvedev. For them, the Soviet Union, the USSR is the worst. what was in the world. Although both and the rest of the USSR denigrants studied, received education, held relevant posts. Putin even served in the KGB, an organization that defended the interests of the USSR. And if a person who defended one state quickly spills over to the other side and starts to blame this state, then I think it does not add honor to him.

    It just so happened that the most terrible betrayal is committed at the top, when the fate and life of entire nations are decided by one squiggle of the ruler. Remember the famous phrase of the false tsar: "Kemsky volost - take away." The collapse of the USSR plunged the peoples of all republics into a swamp of independence, independence from life and work in the Great country, but made it possible to snatch (as far as possible) a part of that total wealth created in the USSR. For this, it (the USSR) was destroyed by the tops in order to grab more and are still grabbing - the Soviet legacy is great. But any "freebie" comes to an end, for some countries of the former Union it has already come.

    According to the interpretation of the times of World War 1, its causes, the assessment of the imperial army, the Brest Peace, this is nonsense from a history textbook for schoolchildren of the Soviet era. If it were not for the betrayal of the conspirator generals in February 1917, sponsored primarily by the United States and Britain, which benefited from the weakening and collapse of the Empire, the war would end in 1917, Russia would be among the victorious countries, the Bolsheviks would not come to power in principle.
    Regarding "atonement during the Great Patriotic War" - I agree, in general, the period between the 1st and 2nd world wars is, in fact, a long Versailles armistice in one GENERAL world war. By the way, in the 1st World War it was called "2nd Patriotic War" in Russia, meaning the First Patriotic War of 1812.

    Too much juggling with the author. The Bolsheviks have great services to Russia, but there was a lot of evil from them. You can neither whiten nor blacken the times of the USSR - you need to remember EVERYTHING - both good and bad.
    And the government accused them of national treason returned most of the losses already after 9 months after the conclusion of peace, which itself honestly described as “obscene”, and this world denounced.

    In fact, it was possible to talk about the return of the bulk of the squandered around 1940 about the year after Western Ukraine joined the USSR and so on and so forth.
    And having gone to the Treaty of Brest, it was they who, in fact, predicted the defeat of Germany.

    That's bullshit. As a result of the Brest Peace, Germany had the hope of solving its food problems at the expense of Ukraine. The transfer of parts of the German army to the western front allowed the Germans to launch their last offensive and delayed Germany’s surrender.
    But if Putin’s advisors were more erudite, they would know that the nationalist Central Rada seized power, declaring independence in the summer of 1917, made peace with Germany before Russia concluded it, which at the time caused Ukraine’s loss

    If the author didn’t want to hit on GDP like that, he would know that everything was just the opposite - the Central Council did not enjoy broad support from the masses and had almost no armed forces - so even those small Bolshevik detachments that could be allocated to she was defeated by decisive victories over the troops of the Central Rada. The German bayonets saved the Central Rada.
    The Brest Peace was in fact a national salvation.

    Brest Peace was a national disgrace. It was he who did not allow Russia to become one of the victorious powers. I doubt that if Soviet Russia fulfilled its allied obligations to the end, we would get international isolation.
    By February, the choice was simple: either withdraw from the war at any cost, or remain in the war, but with a spontaneously diverging army.

    And who was to thank the Bolsheviks for this? Themselves !
    Germany began to turn into a losing side, precisely being in a situation of half-world-half-war after Brest.

    Another nonsense. Germany at the time of the conclusion of the Brest Peace was already corny choking with hunger. Her martial law was hopeless.
    And having placed the army in Ukraine and other occupied territories, it condemned itself to the torment and burden of supporting unpopular and incapable regimes.

    Yeah, that's just the Russian-German front, while Russia was still at war with Germany forging at least 1 a million Germans. And for the whole of Ukraine enough 300 thousand soldiers - and EMNIP, and this number was reduced
    Indeed, Russia was not at Versailles among the winning countries. Only it is hardly worth upsetting that she did not become an accomplice of the robbery and a robber country.

    If there was once a unanimous desire of European countries to equip Europe in honor and conscience - it was at Versailles. If the author did some work on rebuilding the world after the PRI, then he would know if it was done with the best of intentions.
    In general, I repeat - I have no desire to run into the Bolsheviks. It was thanks to them that the USSR little by little got out of the pit (into which they stuck it) - but to a height that had never dreamed of Tsarist Russia. It is thanks to the Bolsheviks that our science, education, etc., has developed to the full extent etc. But ... as I wrote above - you need to remember everything.

      Tsarist Russia would have easily reached this height, just everything in its time. The simplest example - before the revolution, the auto industry was developing in RI and even its own racing cars were created (although it is almost impossible to find their descriptions on the internet, only in pre-revolutionary magazines and books), and after the revolution - as it was cut off, and the owner of all cars and tractors in Russia actually became Mr. Ford. Next, compare the history of FIAT and the history of VAZ. It seems that they started with the same car, FIAT also produced ugly toy tractors, but then suddenly they turned into beautiful swans, and nobody developed the VAZ and it still produces ugly ducklings. So - RI is like a ruined FIAT, we would only remember these cars ridiculous in design, if someone destroyed it, say, in the mid-80s. And Marxist Russia is a VAZ, which has huge production capacities, but with a complete lack of taste and imagination, according to the principle "it will do just that", and say that, one example, - supposedly Tsarist Russia would never have its own Gagarin - yes you that, dragging Russian aviation before the revolution was the first, one word "barrel" is enough to remind a lot, and from aviation to astronautics is one step!

        Excuse me, but how many years did Tsarist Russia have to attain those very heights? If I am not mistaken, Ivan the Terrible EMNIP 1547 is considered the first tsar in our country. Before 1917 - 370 years, however. Bolsheviks coped for 37 :)))

        And what's the point, I'm sorry? Well, yes, they made cars. They only did something on imported machines, for Tsarist Russia did not have its own machine tool industry. Do not bother to start.
        In general, just think for yourself when secondary education becomes compulsory under tsarism, by which year the level of medicine of the USSR could be reached, when regular hunger could be overcome and the level of fundamental scientific and applied research is still interesting ...

          Very much "would" interfere. The dispute is about nothing. History knows no subjunctive mood. Nobody knows whether it would have been better or worse, but the fact that after the 17th a great many engineers left, that many production secrets were lost - this fact takes place.

              In 1938, the USSR nevertheless appeared the first (and it seems the last) racing car - GAZ-GL1:

              In my opinion, the similarity is obvious. For 21 years in the USSR, Russo-Balt was invented! Congratulations !! Well, then we only had such racing cars -

              The first armored-tank-automobile plant (BTAZ No. 1) of the Prombron association was established in 1916 on the basis of the evacuation of Russo-Balt from Riga. There were also three Russian factories producing tires - "Provodnik" (Riga), "Triangle" (Petrograd), "Bogatyr" (Moscow) and its branch in Helsingfors (Helsinki) - Suomen Gummitehdas. Their tires were successful all over the world.

              These cars were quite modern for their era, and the fact that they were partially made from foreign spare parts - well, then everyone started from there. Some companies that are now enjoying huge success in the West generally started with bicycles! And these are only cars, not to mention the deep lag of the USSR in terms of household appliances, television, cinematography, literature, computer technology and so on. The potential of our people was artificially directed into the narrow channel of militarism and distracted from other processes. It is noteworthy that the Marxists who seized power there were also trying to discredit the German Empire, to force the people to forget everything - EVERYTHING! - her achievements

    Well, if the previous ruler blurted out, I would not be surprised. But Putin as a whole always spoke out of place. One could disagree with him, but his speeches were convincing. But here it’s not clear who the blunder is for. Can someone explain to me who apart from the big grain traders needed the Bosphorus? Why did our Russian brigades lay their heads in France? Not near Smolensk, Riga and Pskov. But in France? At the same time, lovers of war and admirers of allied debt should be interested in how these allies did with these brigades after the revolution. Anyway, what results of WWI for Russia would help our people find happiness. Our President did not say this, and I am afraid because he has nothing to say.

        Why not think. Especially after reading the history of the Crimean War. Remind me, please, who is there and why is pinned to the Crimea? Weren't they in the WWI included in the "allies"? Have their interests changed, and were they meekly ready to let Russia into the Mediterranean? They needed Russia like cannon fodder to weaken Germany. And if on the eve of Our victory they tried to come to an agreement with the Nazis, then with Wilhelm they would quickly find a common language. Well, who would remain our allies in this case, Serbia? At the same time (if desired) compare the state of the army in 1917 and 1945. If your comment is not akin to Zhirik, about boots in the Indian Ocean, then perhaps your thoughts will lead to something sensible.

          dmb,
          Let's not indulge in lengthy arguments. The topic is simple and clear - the need for the Bosphorus (straits). They (IMHO) are really necessary for Russia both in the military (to close the adversary's access to its southern shores and at the same time to ensure the free exit of its fleet to southern Europe and northern Africa), and in the economic (free passage of merchant ships without regard for the opinion of "someone else's uncle ") attitude. And you have reduced everything to the banal "benefit of grain merchants." I'm not going to argue with you about the behavior of the so-called. "soyuznichkov" because I support this conclusion. But it was worth trying to get the straits. The RI plans constantly included the "straits" point. For this purpose, "Elpidifors" were specially built - practically universal amphibious assault ships. The Black Sea Fleet was the ONLY one of all the belligerents who really successfully landed and supported the landing on the coast. So we had absolutely ALL chances to take the straits before the Britofran women wake up and push their troughs there. Moreover, the entire British Grand Fleet dug in the Metropolis and was on guard for the Germans. And after the occupation of the straits - who is there and what will do? The British wouldn't go there again.
          And to bring everything together "with whom we fought in the Crimean region and with whom in WWI" - at such a pace we only need to be offended at all smile
          And by the way, I'm not looking at "who and why", but "how and on what." It was this war that showed. how necessary control over the Bosphorus is.

            Let's not. But: "He will eat it, but who will give it to him." As you rightly noted, there were plans. but their real embodiment was not. This is despite the fact that neither in 1829 nor in 1878 did anything prevent (according to your logic) the Russian troops from taking Istanbul, because they were actually in its outskirts, and Turkey, especially in 1878, did not have any forces for defense. To reduce victory in a war to an amphibious operation, even if successful, is more than primitive. Well let's go further. And what exactly did our navy need in Southern Europe or North Africa. I don’t remember that we had colonies there, or we intended to have them there. Duty-free passage for merchant ships is certainly not bad. But this time, let's be honest. We. The Russian Empire intended to seize part of the territory of a neighboring state together with its capital. In principle, according to the logic of that time. nothing wrong. Apparently, the Entente countries (Winners), who occupied Istanbul in 1919, reasoned in the same way. They lasted three years there. And then Ataturk (the loser) threw them out of there despite all their economic power. Well, in conclusion. Your passage about resentment is completely incomprehensible.

              Well, why didn't anything get in the way? In 1878, the lack of political will and unwillingness to fight the British were very hindered. During WWI there was such a will, there were strength and the possibility of their implementation. No one reduces victory in the war to one landing operation, but it was quite possible to capture the Bosphorus. And there, and the Dardanelles side by side. The fact that Ataturk kicked the Entente out of Istanbul is not surprising - the Turks beat our "allies" several times during that war.

                You want to say that in 1915 there was an ardent desire to fight the British, and it was they and the French who for a long time and stubbornly prevented our appearance in Middle-earth "Well, right, this is too hussar." At the same time, explain from what sources do you know about the lack of will in 1878 and its presence in 1914, who had this will, and what prevented its real embodiment before the Brest Peace? (I am not asking about the reasons for 18219. If you modestly kept silent about it). You yourself say there was strength and will. To add the present day to the assessment of the situation at the beginning of the last century, in my opinion, is ridiculous, and out of place. I will only note that the lack of ownership of the straits, as it turns out, does not interfere with the voyage of our ships, although I cannot understand why they gathered there from all fleets. Demonstration of military presence is a good thing when there is something and there is someone to demonstrate. During the years so unloved, as it turned out now, our President of the USSR had to demonstrate what and who was, because the overwhelming majority of Arab countries were our allies, and this sobered their leaders and Israel and the United States with Europe, even more of them, however, sober groupings in the countries of "people's democracy".

    I don’t agree too much with the author’s assessments regarding the First World War, I’m not at all sure that Russia would have been able to evade participation in it, even if it really wanted to, so everything was then ready for war, a small "spark" was enough to everything flared up. It is quite possible that in those conditions of complete collapse of everything and the whole Brest Peace, or better to say "Brest capitulation" was necessary. But these are all "legends of deep antiquity." But "Belovezhskaya Pushcha" is in the memory of most of us. And here I completely disagree with the author's assessments. In essence, the Soviet Union collapsed before the BP. It was not Yeltsin who destroyed the USSR, but Gorbachev. This was well demonstrated by the events with the Emergency Committee, which tried to make a desperate attempt to save the unity of the country, but the country was no longer there, all power long ago passed to the local republican governments. As a matter of fact, the agreement signed in the BP was a legal statement of an already accomplished fact - the death of the "patient". What would happen if Yeltsin did not sign the agreement? A war between Russia (which itself was on the verge of disintegration at that time) with the 14 former Soviet republics? Yugoslavian variant?

      I agree with the assessment of the results of the First World War and the Brest Peace .... we look from the height of our past, and then .... ????
      But with the conclusions on the Bialowieza bunch, not really, why do you think the country was no longer there? ...... Only-just passed a referendum on preserving the USSR .... everyone remembers the results .... Bialowieza just became actual a signal for decay, here the people were presented with the de facto decay ......
      Chechnya wanted independence, but they didn’t meet, they were not afraid of a war threatening to expand according to the Yugoslav version .... and then one could find a way out by creating, for example, a confederation or something like that ......
      The thing is that the will and desire were needed ....... unfortunately the republican kings and khans did not have one!

    The article, of course, is not unambiguous, I did not put an assessment on this. A lot of distortion. Regarding the defeats of the Russian army in the WWI and the coming to power of the Bolsheviks, I really liked the arguments of the historian Mukhin in Asa’s book and propaganda: If the people lived well in the country, if the army was supplied properly, if they fought with little blood, saving soldiers' lives and pi the people would conquer (this is the main task of any general) of the Bolsheviks and the people themselves would strangle them in the bud. And about Belovezhie and the current rulers, as the communists were in power, they remained, they only repainted.

    The topic is interesting, but I do not understand why the author does not indicate or determine the actual events at the beginning of the article, and then analyzes them.
    The facts are as follows: until 1917 there was a Republic of Ingushetia (abbreviated as Russia) with all protectorates, provinces, regions, and governor generals. Due to inefficient management and as a result of the events of 1917-1922, the state structure was changed with the loss of protectorates and some areas (with the latter joining) with the creation of the Soviet Union, which included republics, which can be safely called as the beginning of a new stage in history of Russia.
    The ineffective command and administrative system of the USSR (read - Russia) of the 70-80s put an end to the further development of the country by the end of the 80s, which ultimately led to the collapse of the Soviet Union (read - Russia) and the formation on its territory of 15 independent states.
    The entire burden of relations between the USSR was assumed by the Russian Federation, in fact - the largest fragment of Russia, which gives the right of the Russian Federation to be called Russia.
    These are brief facts, the awareness of which leads to a further analysis of what has happened and is happening.

    Good afternoon! Article "+", despite some bloopers .. For example, the statement that RI had the best army in the world! Maybe the biggest, but hardly the best .. And the defeat in the war of 1905-1907 is a confirmation of this, and the course of WWI, despite the heroism of soldiers and officers (defense of Osovets, Brusilovsky breakthrough, etc.) the confirmation.
    The Brest peace concluded by the Bolsheviks is indeed a predatory, humiliating, but only possible then step. And time showed them right six months later. And the fact that they lost Poland, Finland, the Baltic states, maybe not bad. There are black sheep in any herd.
    Putin's passages about "lost to the vanquished" or that "Russia could have won the war without Ukraine" are perplexing ...
    I think Putin is quite an adequate politician and he hardly believes in the nonsense that he says .... His words are regrettable, but the fact of such statements is even more alarming. It means that he is not so independent in evaluations and statements as we, and probably he would like to ..

    As a result of the Bialowieza conspiracy, Russia (USSR) lost much more territories than after the Brest peace, and in peacetime, which is much more shameful. In addition, the Bolsheviks quickly returned most of the territories. Losses in the economy and human life in Russia as a result of the Bialowieza agreements in percentage terms are much greater than as a result of the Brest peace and this again in peacetime. In fact, Yeltsin and the company did what Hitler could not do. Therefore, for me, national betrayal is primarily a Bialowieza conspiracy, but the situation with the Brest Peace is quite controversial.

    The result of the Brest peace was the emergence of countries-miscarriages into the world - the new Baltic, which, breaking away from herding pigs and transporting shit by goldsmiths (and they could not count on more, until they became part of Russia) suddenly felt like "nations" and the stench from these nations to so far it’s worth not breathing: for a pig's dermetso has spilled out of barrels of goldsmiths, which gives rise to all “shitty countries” to yelp about the “Soviet occupation of the Baltic states”. So we clean up the consequences of the "obscene world". Who, before 1918, had heard at least something about some type of country: Eeeeestoooniiiiiya, Laaatfffiya, Liitva ????

    About who destroyed the army, we will answer with the words of A. Denikin. In the summer of 1917, at a meeting in Stavka in Mogilev, in the presence of Kerensky, General Denikin declared: [M. Denikin General Denikin. M .: AST-PRESS. 2005, 302 pp.]: “When they repeat at every step that the Bolsheviks served as the cause of the collapse of the army, I protest. This is not true. The army was destroyed by others, and the Bolsheviks were just filthy worms that wound up in the abscesses of the army’s body. ” So it doesn’t work out, prosperous Russia in the absence of the Bolsheviks in 17 g, remember the Crimean War, the Balkan, Japanese and 1st World War, the reason for these warriors and defeats is not in the Bolsheviks, but in the competitiveness of Russia and naturally its people, as it is now no matter how bitter it sounds.

    The reasons for the defeat in the 1st World War of the Russian Empire are obvious. They are connected primarily in the economic and industrial backwardness from the leading European powers of that time.
    In addition, despite significant steps to reform the army after the Russo-Japanese disaster, decisive steps were not taken. While the training of the lower and middle command personnel improved, the level of the higher command personnel was very low. Here are the words of A.M. Zayochkovsky: "
    Paying great attention to the training of troops and the improvement of junior command personnel, the Russian General Staff completely ignored the selection and training of senior command personnel: it was not uncommon to appoint persons who had spent their entire life after graduating from the academy in the administrative chair immediately to the position of division chief and corps commander. The General Staff was cut off from the troops, in most cases limiting its acquaintance with them to a short qualifying command. The implementation of the idea of ​​maneuver in the troops was limited only by regulations and small military formations, but in practice, large military commanders and large military formations did not practice its application. As a result, the Russian impulse forward was groundless and inept, the divisions and corps slowly walked in the theater of operations, did not know how to perform maneuver marches in large masses, and at a time when the German corps easily walked 30 km in such an environment for many days in a row, Russians barely made 20 km each. Defense issues were neglected. The oncoming battle began to be studied by the entire army only with its appearance in the field regulations of 1912. "

    And here's another wonderful quote: "In general, the Russian army went to war with good regiments, with mediocre divisions and corps and with bad armies and fronts, understanding this assessment in the broad sense of training, but not personal qualities."

    Well, if the GDP does not like the Bolsheviks, why does he recall the participants in the war who fought under the leadership of the Bolsheviks.

    I also do not like the 1917 Bolsheviks. They, like the dermokrats in the 90s, were brought to power by foreign owners with the aim of the collapse of Russia. Proof - read the "Domes of St. Isaac's Cathedral" by the great writer Kuprin. He fought for Yudenich, and when they had almost entered St. Petersburg, they began to receive shells from England without fuses and guns without bolts. The same thing happened with Kolchak, when he almost connected with Denikin.
    Stalin began to clean up these "Bolsheviks" afterwards, which the world community still cannot forgive him. Stalin also dispersed the commissars during the war, and also returned the good name of Suvorov and Kutuzov to the people, and began to wear the Tsar's shoulder straps instead of Bolshevik buttonholes.
    In general, in fact, the USSR was returning from international Bolshevism to an imperial type national state. That's why we won the war, because the people fought for their homeland, and not for the ideas of Bolshevism.
