Historical mythology around the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact

84

Speaking of stories World War II, one cannot ignore what preceded it. These are the so-called pacts that were signed by various countries with Nazi Germany, including, for example, Poland. However, for Poland itself, the stumbling block is only one agreement with Hitler Germany, and this is an agreement in which the Soviet Union became one of the signatories.

The theme of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact is raised especially frequently this year, since September 1 marks exactly 80 years from the beginning of World War II. And in a number of countries they decided to again try to blame the outbreak of war also on the Soviet Union - with the further aim of Russia “repenting”.



The treaty of the USSR and Germany was signed at one time, but only in Europe today many forget that the Soviet Union has become one of the last states to sign such an agreement. For some reason, few in Europe recall their own attempts to agree on a "non-aggression" with Hitler.

Against this background, a story was published on the Istoriya shopping center in which they asked at all: “Was there a Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact?” This question looks strange, but Yuri Nikiforov, head of the scientific department of the Russian military-historical society, nevertheless decided to reflect on historical mythology about the pact.

The historian emphasizes such an important thing as the attempts of a number of countries in Eastern Europe to justify collaboration. To this justification, they are trying to use their own interpretations of the events of the 1938 and 1939 years to build their theory of supposedly "Soviet occupation".

    Lord, how much can poor Molotov be procrastinated already? This pact was at that time needed by the USSR, period. Even if there were secret protocols to the Covenant, this is also normal and we have nothing to be ashamed of.
    Again, if we assume that there are secret protocols, then what of that? The USSR was just returning to itself Poland that was taken from him to the guise of a civil war and nothing more. Politics in general is a dirty thing, but I do not see any contradictions in this case, we just kept our own interests and returned OUR. And it’s not at all possible for the Poles to moan and yell about not justice, after they gobbled up part of Czechoslovakia, which eventually choked.
    Truly Poland, the hyena of Europe!

        It is truth too! It's just that the Poles are trying to pull the owl onto the globe and make the USSR responsible for inciting World War II on an equal footing with Hitler's Germany. Demanding all kinds of "compensation" from the same opera. It's just that until the USSR is recognized by anyone as the culprit, these demands will remain an empty phrase, but if you manage to attract the USSR to the culprits, then the fun will begin. All of Europe will line up for reparations from the Tribals to the French, and the Germans will also line up at the end of the line.
        Only here shish them, everyone who wants to review the history of WWII, we can re-show!
        In some German town, one burgomaster, responding to the demand of the "public" to dismantle the monument to Soviet soldiers, said: do you want them (the Russians) instead of the T-34 to install the T-90 on the pedestal?
        In Pshekia, the majority have a short memory, which is why they suffer, thank God in Germany there still remained adequate burgomaster.

            Here it is not a matter of faith, but of today's conjuncture. The fact is that both the tribalt and the pshek have a muzzle in fluff according to the tonsils. Both of them were noted on the path of service of Nazi Germany, and to the fullest, and more precisely in a kneeling pose and with hands not even to the elbow, but up to the throat in the blood of both their fellow citizens and strangers.
            But there is, albeit a meager, but a chance to throw arrows at a large neighbor, and even have a gesheft at the expense of an overseas hegemon. It’s just that these woodpeckers still can’t understand that the hegemon is not used to sharing with anyone, much less with them!

          So far, no one has officially approached the Russian government regarding compensation (and there is no such term in international law), and all the statements of politicians and the media are just OBS (one woman said). My mother-in-law likes to say, "One woman told me," to which I tell her, "Her name is Ninka, a neighbor in the country."

        . Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact can be considered void

        Like the Treaty of Friendship and the Border between the USSR and Germany, together with all the annexes and protocols thereto, since both agreements were officially annulled in the May-Sikorsky Treaty between the USSR and Poland in 1941
        The Government of the USSR recognizes the 1939 Soviet-German treaties regarding territorial changes in Poland as null and void.

        can be considered insignificant, since it was leveled

        There is a lot of controversy in this statement, since the leadership of the USSR (and personally Stalin) played geopolitical games, and ultimately outplayed itself. Hitler got everything he wanted. and only after that did the pact become "null and void."
        Soviet historical science got into a mess by agreeing with the thesis of Western propaganda, according to which World War II began only on September 1, 1939 in Europe. In fact, the war began with Japan's attack on China and ended with the defeat of Japan. For the main beneficiary of the war - the United States - the war in the Pacific theater of operations was generally the main one. In Europe, the beginning of the war should be considered the Anschluss of Austria and the "Munich Agreement", as a result of which Hitler received the military industry of Czechoslovakia. One should not forget about Italy's aggressive wars in Africa. All these wars and Anschluss were waged with the consent of the United States, Britain and France.
        In 1938, Chamberlain signed the Munich Agreement with Hitler, Mussolini and Daladier. Returning to London, Chamberlain presented to the public at the airport an signed agreement with the words: "I brought you peace." Churchill harshly criticized Hitler’s pacification policy pursued by Chamberlain’s government, shrewdly remarking that choosing a shame, Britain would receive both war and shame.
        Roughly the same thing happened with the leadership of the USSR. The big difference is that the USSR had no allies, was considered by all major powers as a mental enemy, had a line of contact only with Germany, and in the event of an attack on Germany, Stalin had every reason to believe that the other powers would rather declare the USSR an aggressor and support Germany than THE USSR. Thus, Stalin's main mistake was the excessive fear of being accused of aggression, the belief that he had managed to "come to an agreement" with Hitler, and a sharp change in the line of Soviet propaganda, which, of course, disoriented the country's population and anti-fascist forces in the world.

        I believe the next 100-150 years, these documents will not be declassified. The pope of the current Queen of England threw a ridge on the video, and the queen herself did not lag behind him, and what offers did Hess bring about this only to him, Hitler, Hess and God knows. But in principle it’s not difficult to guess. Another question, why didn’t you agree ?! This is interesting!

            It’s not a matter of Hitler’s choice, he was initially left with no chance of leaving the "Drang nach Osten" line otherwise there is no way to explain either the strange war or how ALL of Europe was gently and not obtrusively placed under him. There is only one conclusion here, Hitler was provided with all the conditions for a war against the USSR. He was given and unquestioningly everything that could be given, and even money was thrown in the form of American and British loans. So here it seems to me everything is extremely clear!

              There is only one conclusion here, Hitler was provided with all the conditions for a war ... So here everything seems to me very unequivocally!


              Of course provided. And he was very happy. Definitely.

              "Exactly three weeks later, we heard that the German Foreign Minister was negotiating in Moscow. During dinner, Hitler was handed a note. He scanned it with his eyes, for a moment, blushing in front of his eyes, he turned to stone, then hit the table with his fist so that glasses shook and exclaimed: "I caught them! I caught them!" But in a second he regained control of himself, no one dared to ask any questions, and the meal went on as usual.

              After her, Hitler invited people from his circle to himself: “We conclude a non-aggression pact with Russia. Here, read. A telegram from Stalin. " She was addressed to the "Reich Chancellor Hitler" and briefly informed about the unity. It was the most amazing, exciting turn of events that I could imagine - a telegram that amicably connected the names of Hitler and Stalin. Then we were shown a film about the Red Army parade in front of Stalin with a huge mass of troops. Hitler expressed his satisfaction that such a military potential was now neutralized and turned to his military adjutants, intending to discuss with them the quality of weapons and troops on Red Square. The ladies remained in their company, but naturally, they immediately learned the news from us, which was soon made public on the radio.

              In the evening of August 23 after Goebbels commented on the sensational news at a press conference, Hitler asked to be associated with him. He wanted to know the reaction of representatives of the foreign press. With frantically brilliant eyes, Goebbels told us what he heard: “The sensation could not be grander. And when the outside rang of bells, a representative of the English press said: "This is the death knell of the British Empire." This statement made the strongest impression on Hitler's euphoric drunkenness that evening. Now he believed that he had ascended over fate itself.

              At night, Hitler and I stood on the terrace and admired the rare game of nature. For a whole hour, a very intense aurora boreal light flooded with red light located opposite, covered in legends of Untersberg, while above it the sky blazed with all the colors of the rainbow. It was impossible to imagine a more spectacular staging of the final “Twilight of the Gods”. Our faces and hands seemed unnaturally red. Hitler suddenly said to one of his military adjutants: “It looks like a stream of blood. This time, the use of force is indispensable. ”

          Churchill calculated the situation for years to come.

          "...Hess, apparently, is in good health and not nervous, and he does not have the usual signs of insanity. He states that this flight to England is his own idea and that Hitler did not know about him in advance. If you can trust him, he hoped to contact the participants in the "peace movement" in England, whom he would help drive the current government out of. If he speaks sincerely and is in his right mind, then this is a welcome sign of the poor work of German intelligence. He will not be mistreated, but it is advisable that the press does not present him and his adventure in a romantic light. We should not forget that he bears a share of responsibility for all Hitler's crimes and is a potential war criminal, whose fate ultimately must inevitably depend on the decision of the Allied governments. "

      Well, of course you can take it for truth, but in one letter from Engels to Marx we see a more reasonable explanation
      The Poles have never done anything else in history except for bold, pugnacious stupidities. And it is impossible to indicate a single moment when Poland, even only in comparison with Russia, would successfully represent progress or accomplish something of historical significance. On the contrary, Russia does play a progressive role in relation to the East ... Russia has perceived much more elements of enlightenment and especially elements of industrial development than, by its very nature gentry-sleepy, Poland ... Poles have never been able to assimilate foreign elements. The Germans in the [Polish] cities remained and remain Germans. Meanwhile, every second-generation Russian German is a living example of how Russia can Russify Germans and Jews. Even the Jews grow there Slavic cheekbones

      Lord, how much can poor Molotov be procrastinated already?


      They will procrastinate for centuries.
      Because this treaty really started the process of starting a world war. The most terrible war in the history of the Russian and other peoples, which put us on the brink of destruction.
      Stalin himself, in his first speech since the beginning of the war, hastened to justify himself and confirm the "correctness" of his decision on an alliance with Hitler, launching the tale of the years won, which is still being repeated.

      "... One may ask: how could it have happened that the Soviet government agreed to conclude a non-aggression pact with such treacherous people and monsters as Hitler and Ribbentrop? Was there not a mistake on the part of the Soviet government? Of course not!
      ... What did we gain by concluding a non-aggression pact with Germany? We ensured peace for our country for a year and a half and the opportunity to prepare our forces to repel if Nazi Germany would risk attacking our country in spite of the pact. This is a definite gain for us and a loss for Nazi Germany. "

      That's just a gain in time, appeared not only in the USSR, but also in Germany. Some even now believe that the failures of 1941 are due to the fact that we did not have time to rearm, forgetting that Germany did not stand still either. And if the war began in 1943, the T-34 would have met the Tigers on the battlefield, and the Yaki and Laggi would have met Messerschmitt "Gustav" and Fock. And in 1944 the jet Me-262. And it's scary to think of WHAT would have fallen on Moscow and St. Petersburg in 1945.

For some reason, few people in Europe remember their own attempts to negotiate a" non-aggression "with Hitler . "

    Already said. The Soviet Union, perhaps, was the last of the states that signed such agreements.
    But he was the first to sign a secret protocol simultaneously with the agreements.
    And he became the first state, after the signing of such agreements with Germany, the Second World War began. For some reason, no previously signed agreements of other states with Germany led to a world war.

        After the German attack on Poland, England and France declared war on Germany, and the USSR in response concluded a friendship treaty with Germany and demanded that Britain and France cease their aggressive war against Germany and separately cease their declared war on fascism (Hitlerism) as a criminal ideology about what the comrade People's Commissar Molotov and said at an extraordinary congress

        It is interesting, but if England and France listened to the USSR and reconciled with Germany, as the USSR and Germany themselves sought, would they end up with him, like the USSR, the Treaty of Friendship?

                  And if there weren’t a friendship agreement, but just a non-aggression agreement, would the Germans attack the USSR?

                    Details - as he pointed out? Hitler told his comrade-in-arms of the USSR this is a friend, will we not attack him? In fact, it was France who declared war on Germany, and not vice versa, Hitler had no choice.

                    You see, political issues need to be looked at more broadly. And deeper.
                    Quote: Avior
                    And if there weren’t a friendship agreement, but just a non-aggression agreement, would the Germans attack the USSR?

                    The question is completely wrong. It should have been set like this:
                    "And if there was no friendship treaty, but just a non-aggression agreement with Germany, JAPANESE would attack the USSR? "

                    The question is that at the time of signing the non-aggression pact, the USSR was already participating in a local war with the Japanese. I'm about the Halkin Goal, of course. So, HC had two important aspects
                    1) Despite the victory, HG showed a number of gaping gaps in the preparation of the Red Army
                    2) Despite the peace agreement concluded on 15 on September 1939, it was completely unclear what Japan would do next.
                    Add to this:
                    1) Purely formal conduct of war by England and France, i.e. "Strange War"
                    2) The general state of world politics pushing Japan into the Berlin-Rome axis
                    In other words, in the USSR the situation is such that France and England declared war only fearing for the honor of their uniform, and are not going to wage it for real. There was no guarantee that Germany would not make peace with them on terms acceptable to herself. And then the USSR faced the real threat of war on the 2 front in conditions when it was not ready for one front either.
                    In general, the USSR was in dire need of a reprieve, which would allow it to put its armed forces in order. The friendship treaty with Germany was supposed to have a restraining effect on Japan, as Germany and Japan were on the verge of an alliance. And at the same time, it was quite obvious that, provided that Hitler was certain that the USSR would not attack, he would turn his armies to France and would not seek a political compromise. And even if it does, it will not attack the USSR, finding it.

                    The USSR insisted on this because of the customs of diplomacy of those years. If Germany is a friend, then those who fight against it are aggressors and they need to wag their fingers. Well, they threatened :)))

                For your information, the Germans did not even think about creating heavy tanks like the Tigers and Panthers until they invaded the USSR. Prior to that, their "heavy" tank was slightly heavier than the T-34 (weighed 30 tons) and was developed at the Shatko Research Institute of the Valko Research Institute. And about the missile systems ... Find out in what state the work was there. In addition to Fau, there were no more effective missile systems, even in the 45th.

          Naturally, they will zamusutut, and I will even be the first. Because facts are a thing extremely stubborn, and they irrefutably testify that the non-aggression pact between Germany and the USSR was a consequence of the Munich agreement, according to which Czechoslovakia was presented to Hitler and after which it became clear that neither England nor France would hit a finger for a collective security system in Europe. They blessed the European War with 1938 and refused to see the USSR in their allies. Under these conditions, the USSR simply had no choice.
          Moreover, even such a lover of communism as Churchill speaks of this. But do you need to be holier than the pope?

              But for this if it would be possible - then put two minuses. To put it mildly, you perceive history very strangely. The leadership of the country takes decisions based on the specific situation. So in 1939, England was not nearly an ally of the USSR and could not become one. To do this, they needed to gain in wort, lose their ally France in a month, survive the parliamentary storm and the dismissal of Chamberlain's cabinet. So it should be understood that all this happened in a world where the USSR signed non-aggression treaties and then friendship with Germany. If he had not signed them, history could have gone a completely different way. For you, the story looks so that whatever happens, but in the end the USSR and England are obliged to become allies.
              England and France declared war, but did not fight seriously. And Japan just could not choose in any way whom to attack, the USSR or the USA, and the pact played a considerable political role there.
              Therefore, the facts you have listed are quite convenient for me and completely do not refute everything that I indicated above

                how you do it easily and simply.
                as soon as the USSR signed a friendship agreement with Germany, concluded a trade agreement with it, and began to demand that they stop aggression against Germany, England and France immediately realized that the USSR was their ally. And before that they doubted.
                Therefore, they declared a war on Germany (but, forgot, they didn’t fight the way you would like them to. But even the USSR demanded to stop such a war, didn’t forget?).
                It is very convenient to replace verified facts with unfounded statements. And then remember more to remember.
                Am I writing something about a pact? The pact needed to be concluded, and this is the right decision. There is a gap between the neutral non-aggression pact and the friendship treaty.
                Again, if you read the text of the Maisky-Sikorsky Treaty, it can be seen that the territorial changes of Poland were provided for not in one treaty of friendship and border with Germany, but also in the second in the non-aggression pact, it is the plural.
                The Government of the USSR recognizes the Soviet-German treaties of 1939 regarding territorial changes in Poland as invalid.

                This is by the way about what was in the pact except non-aggression itself.
                And yes, I read the Munich documents

                and where is there about the "Munich agreement, according to which Czechoslovakia was presented to Hitler."

                  The USSR needed confidence that it would not become the object of aggression by Germany and Japan in the near future + technical assistance, since after the Soviet-Finnish west, for the most part, they showed us cookies. Germany needed confidence that the USSR would not take the side of England and France. Both sides received what they needed in the short term - that’s all, in fact.
                  And I do not understand why such an empty formality as the call to end the war excites your imagination so much. This is the usual formal diplomatic action in such circumstances.

                    Firstly, Churchill (along with Bismarck) is the champion of the Russian-speaking Internet on false quotes. And Churchill is not a historian but a politician. So yes, historians will be more objective and Churchill.
                    Secondly. The source of your first freshness of "arguments" on the topic is one moldy masterpiece of Soviet agitprop, which was urgently cooked up on the knee when the allies published the collection. diplomatic documents 'Nazi-Soviet relations, 1939-1941 ".That was then our answer was born to Chamberlain, whom you have been feeding for 70 years, although you do not know the source. This masterpiece was called:Falsifiers of history. - M.: OGIZ, State Political Publishing House, 1948 .-- 79 p. (Historical note.) Circulation of 500 thousand copies.
                    There you will find all the "arguments" that you repeat almost word for word here.
                    Here is a sample from this masterpiece .. find 10 differences as they say:
                    ...As in 1918, due to the hostile policies of the Western powers, the Soviet Union was forced to conclude the Brest peace with the Germans, and now, in 1939, 20 years after the Brest Peace, the Soviet Union was forced to conclude a pact with the Germans in view of the same hostile policies of England and France .

                    The talk of all kinds of slanderers about the fact that the USSR should not have allowed itself to make a pact with the Germans cannot be considered otherwise than ridiculous. Why Poland, having allies in the person of England [55] and France, could go to the non-aggression pact with the Germans in 1934, and the Soviet Union, which was in less favorable conditions, could not go to such a pact in 1939? Why could England and France, representing the dominant power in Europe, be able to agree to a non-aggression declaration with the Germans in 1938, and the Soviet Union, isolated thanks to the hostile policies of England and France, could not make a pact with the Germans?

                    Is it not a fact that of all the non-aggressive big powers of Europe, the Soviet Union was the last power that went on the pact with the Germans?

                    Of course, the falsifiers of history and other reactionaries are unhappy that the Soviet Union was able to skillfully use the Soviet-German pact in order to strengthen its defense, that it was able to push its borders far to the west ...

                      It is unfortunate that you did not heed my recommendation, but it is your business.
                      Your first mistake. What makes you think that I studied Churchill on quotes in the internet? I read Churchill's six-volume book before the advent of the Internet :)))) It has been translated into Russian for a very long time and is not a bibliographic rarity (according to the 2 volume in the book).

                      You yourself can read it, just drive Churchill into the search engine "World War II" to read it online and follow the first links to the militia.
                      Second. Churchill, unlike the "thousands of historians" to whom you refer, was directly involved in those events. He personally communicated with both Molotov and Stalin and knows about politics "a little" more than any historians
                      The third. Yes, Churchill, being a politician, can lie or be biased (like thousands of historians, by the way). But the whole problem is that the book was written by him AFTER his famous Fulton speech (do you know what it is?) And politically Churchill had NO ONE reason to whitewash the USSR in his book. But to expose the USSR as a kind of beast in the flesh - had many reasons. And yet, contrary to his political interests, Churchill directly writes that
                      1) The USSR for a long time consistently tried to create a system of European security
                      2) The short-sighted and erroneous policies of France and England led to the fact that all the proposals of the USSR (which Churchill considers sound and reasonable) were ignored.
                      3) The USSR was placed by England and France in conditions when the conclusion of a pact with Germany was the only possible way for the USSR - they simply did not leave any other.
                      And now I repeat my question. Cite at least a dozen of the "thousands of historians" you refer to :))))))

        The problem is that the USSR, on the basis of its interests, did not blame its post-war ally - Poland, at the beginning of the 2 World War, therefore it did not focus on the Teshinsky region.
        Now Poland has ceased to be an ally and, using official history, makes itself a victim, but not only of Germany, but of the USSR, because it also sent troops into Poland.
        Now Russia should essentially abandon the Soviet view of the beginning of the 2-th World War, and begin to consider it from the moment of the occupation of the Teshinsky region.
        Accordingly, in the eyes of Europeans, Russia is becoming the first candidate for the role of a scribe of history.

          The Teshin problem came from the First World War, even the very notion of how Czechoslovakia never existed in nature; this country was created by the victors, who disguised this absurdity from the scraps of the Hapsburg Empire. And the Sudetes were shoved into Czechoslovakia by mistake. L. George in his memorandum of March 25, 1919 - "I cannot help but see the main reason for the future war in the fact that the German people, who have sufficiently proved themselves as one of the most energetic and strong nations in the world, will be surrounded by a number of small states. many of them have never before been able to create stable governments for themselves, and now a lot of Germans will fall into each of these states, demanding reunification with their homeland. The proposal of the Commission on Polish Affairs to transfer 2100 thousand Germans under the rule of a people of a different religion, a people which throughout its history has not been able to prove that he is capable of stable self-government, in my opinion, sooner or later should lead to a new war in Eastern Europe.

    The historian emphasizes such an important thing as the attempts of a number of countries in Eastern Europe to justify collaboration.
    If these snakes in a human guise would not have flirted with Hitler themselves, then there would have been no Molotov-Ribentrop Pact, which was crucial for the USSR at that time. He did not allow Japan to enter the war on the side of Germany, and the USSR fought on only one front.

    There was no Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, and no. there is
    Non-aggression agreement between Germany and the Soviet Union (German: Deutsch-sowjetischer Nichtangriffspakt; - an intergovernmental agreement signed on August 23, 1939 by the heads of foreign affairs agencies of Germany and the Soviet Union,

    There is no need to repeat the anti-Soviet and anti-Russian propaganda clichés "Molotov-Ribbentrop pact", "Molotov cocktail".

      What’s the difference? In the first case, they are called by the names of the signatories, in the second case, the official name.

      Beautiful names - let all evil spirits know that Molotov was the second person of the state, which was respected throughout the world. Maybe there is a man whose name is given to both the pact and the mixture burning the fascist tanks.

    Unfortunately, at the time of Gorbachev, it was not without reason that the famous Yakovlev and the rest began to condemn this treaty, giving the start to this race. Ours has generated what we have now.

    The white and fluffy ESESER did everything fairly and correctly, and all the other kazly and the cause of all wars, a hundred of us are constantly surrounded by enemies, especially the capitalist exploiters of the entire planet and even Mars, so the people of this country need to watch out for spies (THEY MAY BE IN YOUR FAMILY !), tighten your belts, abandon the bourgeois myths about "democracy and be ready with all your meat, as soon as comrade Dzhugashvili calls for, for example ... a war liberating the Finns from the" exploiters ", to show" them all "oh they resist, put 10 Red Army men for one Finn, oh, 2000 tanks burned! Well, stupid, well, imperialists, well, the bourgeoisie do not understand true freedom through the happy Soviet camps, not only for pioneers!)) 9

          Vyser specifically what?
          Described some fact in the "You Serial" interpretation ?!
          Well, if history is shamefully built on a fratricidal war, industrialization and collectivization was carried out through bloody violence and with such sacrifices built, the social model flew into the "chimney of history" communist reform dogmas) how to look at all this without black humor.
          There is not a single war with anyone without a reason, and if you unleash wars yourself, no matter how you justify them "justly", expect that they will come to you with the war.
          The Germans, having very carefully studied how, due to the "provocations" of the USSR, it was "forced" to start a "liberation (. Take a beauty in Suomi) war, and how the Red Army fought there, they just made sure that the blitzkrieg would be easier for them than in Europe. ... and now, if we imagine the Kwantungskub army that struck when the Germans were "near Moscow", then they would be very worthy to express their historical gratitude that they complied with the non-aggression pact until 1945, waiting for the echelons of professional soldiers to send them to gouge ...
          Wars, bloodshed are the same "rake" of constant mistakes, when the country, instead of starting with itself building happiness for its people and real results, and not veiled "truth" and ostentation, tries to show and impose on others "how to build a happy society "!

      Something you grind, oh yay ..
      It seems to be supposed to write that each Finn laid down 30, and not 2000 tanks like yours, but 73254 Finns were burnt right away.
