Inviolability of borders in Eastern Europe

148

Yesterday the borders in Europe were different, and the day before yesterday too


The human age is short in historical by standards, therefore, people get used to so many things around them so much that it seems to them that it has always been so. “And only the old people remembered that the border of the glacier used to be much higher.” Just like life, human consciousness is limited. Many overly complicated things remain beyond the understanding of the common man. Both that, and another, certainly, a gift of gods.

But seriously, the map, for example, of Europe for the 1914th could seriously surprise the student back in the 80s of the 20th century. Everything is wrong there. Although it seems quite recently and although it seems to be the same Europe (civilized). No, France is in place, just like England and Spain, but the farther east, the more changes. Already looking at the map of the last year before the Great War, it becomes clear that the world then changed very much. And just as the consequences of glacier passing leave traces on the landscape, the consequences of such political changes leave traces on the political map.



World War II also changed the map of Europe, although not as much as the first. “The inviolability of borders” is a good thing, but unattainable. After the collapse of the USSR, Czechoslovakia collapsed and Yugoslavia was smashed to smithereens. Then, from Serbia, they “bit off” Kosovo. That is, the boundaries are quite changing for themselves.

The borders in Eastern Europe that we are fortunate to see often arose after 1945. That is, in fact - a “remake”. And there was still the victorious Soviet Union, and Comrade Stalin, with an unshakable hand, drew some lines there. But there is no longer the Soviet Union and, of course, no comrade. Stalin. But the borders seem to have remained. Question: for how long?

Once again: global political changes inevitably entail a change in borders. It's unavoidable. That is, for example, the borders of modern Poland (both in the west and in the east) were designated precisely in the victorious 45th. Of course, in the days of Poland and the USSR, casting doubt on them was like death. But the Germans (and one third of modern Poland is just on the former German lands) did not like this new border at all. And by the way, yes: it was not conducted by certain allies, but clearly and specifically by JV Stalin.

And this today creates serious problems in German-Polish relations. So to speak, everything is not so simple. For some reason, I recall how the Spartan king was told that King Philip gave this land to the Messenians. “Did he give them the power to protect her?” - asked the Spartan in response.

You can talk for a long time about a united Europe and NATO, but, as many have already noticed, in the decades following the collapse of the USSR, much has changed there. In no case do not want to play the role of Nostradamus, but the inviolability of the western Polish border is a very interesting question. What will be there and how will it be ... But the hell knows. But the USSR is no longer there, like the Warsaw Pact, and even when they were, the FRG was somehow in no hurry to recognize the “new borders”, and finally the “post-war settlement” took place in Europe even after the suppression of the “Prague Spring”! And before that there were questions.

The "indestructible" borders of Poland


So not everything is so simple. The main thing is the thread of reasoning: Russia today (for obvious reasons!) Owes Poland nothing. Will there be objections? And when the monuments to Soviet soldiers in the former NDP are demolished, the author personally does not even feel sad, but funny. The Poles are actively chopping the branch on which their current territorial integrity is based. If Stalin is a criminal, and the Red Army is an invader and an occupier, then ... then there will be interesting legal consequences. Just while the Poles are not even aware of this.

And they don’t have anyone to guess about. Politicians, of course, are, but very unsuspecting. Four sections of Poland clearly demonstrate this. That is, before taking any serious political steps, it is advisable to think carefully. Consult with knowledgeable people. Otherwise, it may turn out badly. If the Poles were dear to their western border (already drawn along German territory), they would regularly paint and update all the monuments to Soviet soldiers-liberators and invite veterans from Russia there and would congratulate and thank them. Explain why?

But why none doesn't want to see obvious things? Morality? What does morality have to do with it? What is the moral? Pure selfish calculation! Well, is there really no literate people in Poland and there is no one to tell Polish politicians that they need to glorify the Red Army and personally Comrade. Stalin? That's right, and nothing else. The western Polish border is the result of the “creativity” of the Red Army and Joseph Stalin. Imagine that a very unloved relative of yours bequeathed to you personally a spacious apartment in the center of the hero city of Moscow. But at the same time you have to get a haircut in Buddhists or join the LDPR. So what will be your decision?

That's right: refuse and keep your convictions! And to give the apartment to the state, it is more necessary for him. At one time, Sherlock Holmes was genuinely amazed at Watson's inability to build the simplest logical chain.

-?!
- Elementary Watson!

Lavrov is about the same astonishment lead some of his foreign colleagues. Rather, "the course of their reasoning." I will not quote.

You must admit that the demolition of monuments to Soviet soldiers has both a political and a legal dimension. The cadastral also has, if that. Why this none does not see? Are they all blind? They can’t add two and two? If the Soviet soldiers-liberators were not heroes and liberators, then who were they? And what did they do in Europe? And what do the Poles do in the ancient Hanseatic city of Danzig? And in the "last fortress of the Third Reich" - Breslau? How many questions arise, right?

It is clear that the average person is very difficult to calculate all the consequences of their steps. But what, the Polish state is also headed by "ordinary people"? Or how? Western allies at one time were forced to recognize the "new borders of Poland along the Oder-Neisse." But this was by no means their idea. With the disappearance of the USSR from the political arena, the border “hung” slightly. No, of course, Poland today is a close ally of the United States and all that, but it’s very difficult to predict what will happen next.

And for Russia to “guarantee” something in any plan to a country that occupies an extremely Russophobic position is rather strange. Why, sorry? Meaning? With the departure of the USSR, a political vacuum arose in Eastern Europe, but few understood this. Ukraine (formerly USSR) is an archetypal example. So far advanced western borders of this country are explained by the historical presence of the Republic of Ingushetia / USSR in “these places”. The last one there to “light” again was Joseph Stalin.

Who "painted" Ukraine?


For some reason, Eastern European politicians cannot / do not want to understand elementary things. The border is not as simple and cool as it seems. The very “borders of independent Ukraine” were carried out by Russian tsars and Soviet general secretaries; at the moment, “civilized Europe” did not give Ukraine a single square kilometer of territory. Something like that. No matter how the "Ukrainian state" itself arose and won no wars, and did not grow any territory.

Ukraine tried to combine the incompatible: completely abandon the historical heritage of the Ukrainian SSR and at the same time preserve its territory. As we see, it is no longer possible. Once again: all the talk about “bad Russia” and “good Europe” is limited to millions of square kilometers donated by “bad Russia” and zero square kilometers donated by “good Europe”. That is, the problem is much deeper than many people think.

The rejection of the Soviet legacy calls into question all the borders of the former. Ukrainian SSR, and first of all - Western. For Ukraine, it all started much earlier than in 2014. Even when the question arose about gas (!) Fields near Zmein Island. Which the European court gave European Romania. For some reason, it was not customary to raise this topic in Ukraine. Europe is good, Russia is bad. Well, if so, then “good Europe” could “compensate” Ukraine for the loss of Crimea. Why not?

Today, Poland, Hungary and Romania look with interest at their “former” territories as part of a weakening and impoverished Ukraine. Again, by no means am I going to play the role of Nostradamus, but the territorial future of Ukraine is under a very big question. At one time, Britain for a very long time "defended" Turkey from Russia, but after 1918, she let it go under the knife. That is, Russia just fought infinitely long with the Turks, who were finished off by their British friends. But who remembers this?

In any case, the western borders of Ukraine are a very, very controversial thing (if there is no powerful army and powerful state behind them). The western borders of the Ukrainian state are just the legacy of a great empire that has left it. The chances of "holding" them are very, very weak, about the same as in the British after the departure of the Roman legions. It’s just that this does not suddenly and immediately become apparent.

Ukraine today has neither a modern army, nor independence, nor an economy. Nothing at all. And a huge piece of land in the center of Europe. And the land is "no longer done." To preserve its industry, Ukraine had to maintain very good relations with Russia. No other way. It is obvious. Much less obvious is the fact that, in order to maintain its territorial integrity, Ukraine had to do the same.

At least several decades after the collapse of the USSR, this was absolutely inevitable. In order to avoid questions, Ukraine simply was obliged to focus on Moscow. And a very long time. Damn it, with the economy, but saving so vast territory (by European standards!) required external power support. As you know, Ukraine decisively took an anti-Russian position. After the return of Crimea, Russia officially declared that the territorial integrity of Ukraine is a problem of Ukraine alone.

It was impossible for Ukraine to quarrel with Russia, it is impossible, because, let’s say, issues of ownership of real estate are not always resolved “here and now”. Sometimes very old documents play a role. In Northern Italy - sometimes the 12th (!) Century! And Russia is not obligated to make a discount on the fact that today Ukraine simply does not have a normal diplomatic service. The anti-Russian position of Kiev removes from it all and all sorts of moral obligations. For obvious reasons, Russia is not obliged today to build its policy so that official Kiev has everything "good and healthy."

The trouble with Kiev is precisely that the western borders of their country were determined not from Kiev, but from Moscow. And the system of contracts (confirming these boundaries) was also drawn up in Moscow (but not in Kiev). And just Russia (as the heiress of the USSR, for example) has the full moral right, so to speak, to slightly change its attitude towards them. Ukrainians, in their great naivety, sincerely believe that it is enough to massively dance hopak in the city center - and that’s all, this is Ukraine, but not so simple. For some reason, people there are sincerely convinced that since the formation of independent Ukraine, this completely automatically privatized a piece of Russian territory and history for hundreds of years into the past. But everything is a bit more complicated.

A certain analogy to this: some weapons were produced in Ukraine, and patent documentation was stored in Moscow, which even before all the "Maidan" created a lot of problems. The problem of all Ukraine is precisely that the “patent documentation” for it is in many ways located in Moscow. That is, the gap with Russia hit not only in Ukrainian industry, but also in statehood in general.

With the filing of that same Poland, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was officially recognized as criminal in both Lithuania and Ukraine. If you say “A”, then sooner or later you will have to say “B”, and then it will come to other letters of the alphabet. The logic of actions, a single logic. Poland is good, Russia is bad. This was driven into every Ukrainian schoolchild. Well, sooner or later we got to that very pact. According to which Ukraine received the Polish Lviv and not only.

For a very long time all this was concealed by Russia's desire to be friends, no matter what. Now it is invisible to Ukrainians because of the general situation of the collapse of the economy and the war in the Donbass. But the problem seems to have gone nowhere. Today, for Kiev, counting on Russia's military or political support on a dispute with Hungary or Romania would be simply frivolous. Kiev politicians have achieved almost unbelievable: Moscow’s relations with Poland are better than with Ukraine! That is, they generally are.

The demonization of Russia and the glorification of the West is, of course, good. But as a result, Ukraine suffered significant economic and territorial losses. Reaction? Continued demonization of Russia and the glorification of the West. And everything is peddling. I specifically explain (especially to some stubborn compatriots): Ukraine is an independent state, we are not Ukrainians, we owe them nothing by definition, and we are not obliged to maintain any “dialogue” with them. All the problems of Ukraine are only and exclusively the problems of the Ukrainians themselves, but not ours.

Virtual USSR in the Heads


At one time, the author of the iconic work “Marauder” defiantly mocked Russian citizens who were confident in their security against the backdrop of NATO’s eastward expansion (the USSR was dead). About the same can be said about the inhabitants of small, but proud countries of Eastern Europe. It seems to them that their borders are reliably guaranteed by someone. They have such an illusion. I hasten to upset them: the very Soviet Union drew and guaranteed these borders, which, alas, are no more.

Which immediately affected the fate of Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. It was the collapse of the USSR that led to the collapse of Czechoslovakia and the SFRY. Then Serbia lost Kosovo. Well, for example, Moldova, as it were, is not against entering Romania. And the flag in their hands, if they want it. Azerbaijan has lost Karabakh and the adjacent lands and has been trying to return them for many years. The GSSR practically collapsed. These are the “interesting” consequences. But one must understand that most of the borders in Eastern Europe were "drawn" one way or another under the influence of the USSR. Which is no more.

Russia is, of course, “a kind of successor,” but practically no country in Eastern Europe wants to focus on it. In general, the borders seemed to “hang in the air”. Russia today owes absolutely nothing to the new NATO members or even simply to the “Euro-oriented” governments of its neighbors.

Many people underestimate this fact. Borders always draw with a sword. This is ultimately the case. Any border is “universally recognized” when a powerful army stands behind it. Otherwise, questions arise. The basis of modern Ukrainian ideology is transcendent Russophobia. The tragic paradox is that the vast Ukrainian territory is the legacy of the “criminal” USSR / RI. The ravings of Ukrainian politicians that everyone around “owes to holy Ukraine” look good only in the Ukrainian information space.

“Return of Crimea to its home harbor” put Russia in a situation where it categorically not interested in “conservation ter. integrity of Ukraine. ” This is disadvantageous because. That is why the Polish-Hungarian (Romanian?) Territorial claims are not so bad when viewed from Moscow. Mutual exchange / recognition is possible because. And Kiev put itself in such a disadvantageous position.

And it’s already impossible to “win back” the situation. Not a single Ukrainian politician will be able to recognize the loss of Crimea, and therefore, will not be able to normalize relations with Russia and receive its political support on the western borders. This means that they are put under a big question mark. Today, the Ukrainian state does not have “good decisions” (but the borders of Poland are a very, very interesting topic, both western and eastern). Both Lemberg and Breslau ... there is something to think about. Moreover, both of them are not Russia's problem today.

And there are Romanian-Hungarian territorial contradictions. There they are, they haven’t gone anywhere. Yes, and the Balkans continue to slowly "smolder." And already the “great Estonia” can not come to terms with the current “unjust” borders with Russia. That is, the USSR is no longer there, and practically no one likes the current borders.

It is difficult to say exactly what this will lead to, but the complete inviolability of borders in the coming decades seems unlikely.

        These ugly offspring were born much earlier when in 1918 and 1940 from the lands of RUSSIA blinded these freaks and others, specifically stipulating the right of their EXIT from the USSR.
        So they came out ..

        Therefore, the author is wrong when he writes:
        The borders in Eastern Europe that we are fortunate to see often arose after 1945.

        The borders of Russia that we see today were created mainly in 1918-1940, when 5 million km2 were cut off from it
        The western Polish border is the result of the “creativity” of the Red Army and Joseph Stalin.

        Russia - WHY this "creativity" turned out to be - strengthened, it turned out in the end ... its ETERNAL enemy belay
        The rejection of the Soviet heritage calls into question all the borders of the former. USSR

          It is interesting that it was the inclusion of part of Donbass in the Ukrainian SSR that did not allow Little Russia to finally fall off into farmers, and there is still some opportunity to reformat this territory for itself. Actually, for this, they included it in order to dilute the Selyuk with industrial regions. As for the intra-imperial transfers of the territory, especially for you, the Finnish War is a direct result of the transfer of part of the Russian territories of Finland back in tsarist times. Under the tsar, territories could have been cut in exactly the same way for some reason of their time.

              And now the question is, what in general in 1922 could the Russian Republic offer the former outskirts of the empire so that they agreed to return? As for Finland, which then didn’t even interest Stalin, now in Kiev they may also disagree with the existence of LDNR, and they say how it came about.

              Learn the story, your nonsense is already tired of reading. As for the so-called. lobotryasov, then they won the civil war and bent everyone else. Do you know why? Because they quickly learned and thought practically, unlike any professors of the cadets from the interim government, which, by the way, no one appointed, they declared themselves power, and all the boobies from whites who had one goal, a constituent assembly and still a talking room.

                Here are the red partisans there, according to the report of the OGPU, 1932:
                Akbulaksky district. “There is no bread, we are starving, and we are forced to build an unrealizable socialism. It’s more like war we, the red partisans, having received rifles, would see who we need to fight with and who we must defend. ”

                Ayrtavsky district. “That's what the Soviet government brought us to. We, collective farmers, eat quinoa and eat all kinds of surrogates. At present, everything is against power. War will begin all the red partisans, as one, will go against the Bolshevik deceivers, because we all learned what the power of the Soviets consists in - robbery and violence».

                Zyryanovsky district. “It’s enough that they once won over their necks; now with hunger and naked we sit. If only the war began, the Bolsheviks will no longer have to leave on our neck. ”

                “We, the red partisans, were deceived into the revolution, promised freedom and so on, and now it’s not being put into practice at all, I would know that it would be like this, I would never begin to defend the power of the Soviets” (former partisan Khomenko, b / p, middle peasant).

                “I, here, am a former partisan, and I’m living poorly, well, to hell with Soviet power, again we need to take rifles and oppose the authorities, tired of already enduring, unbearable it has become ”(former cr [asny] partisan Popov, b / p, middle peasant).

        It is strange that you assume that something had to be explained to JV Stalin, regarding national policy. Moreover, the deputies of him, during the period of the People’s Commissariat, were representatives of many nationalities.

        The People's Commissariat for Nationalities of the RSFSR (NKNats, or People’s Commissariat) is the state body of the RSFSR for the implementation of the national policy of the Soviet Republic, operated from October 1917 to April 1924.

        JV Stalin was appointed People's Commissar for Nationalities.

        He was subordinate to: I.P. Tovstukha (future personal secretary of Stalin), S. S. Pestkovsky, F. A. Sova-Stepnyak and I. Yu. Kulik.
        Board of People’s Commissariat: N. Narimanov, M. Pavlovich, S. Dimanshtein, O. Karklin, G. Broydo, M. D. Huseynov, A.Z. Kamensky, S. Pestkovsky.


        As the main tasks of the People’s Commissariat were identified:

        - ensuring peaceful cohabitation and fraternal cooperation of all nationalities and tribes

        - RSFSR, as well as contractual friendly Soviet republics;

        - assistance to their material and spiritual development, in relation to the peculiarities of their way of life, culture and economic condition;

        - monitoring the implementation of the national policy of Soviet power.

    The author, as is usually the case with geopolitics, despises the materiel and deals only with his fantasies.

    1. Germany Adenauer really did not recognize the Yalta conspiracy and officially considered the German voivodship and East Prussia to be temporarily occupied territories.
    2. Since then, the position of Germany has changed. Partly sick, partly impractical. Germany is one people, one country, one Merkel. The German people have not been found in these places for a long time, so there is nothing to attach.
    3. 30 years ago, Germany reunited with the GDR. This turned out to be an extremely costly and troublesome event. Since then, there’s no one who really wants to reunite. The same applies to Poland in the case of Western Belarus / Ukraine. Greatness is greatness, but money, unlike rising from its knees, is not and never will be.
    4. Across Ukraine. The author, apparently, does not know that Ukraine has problems with recognizing the eastern borders, and not the western ones. The reasons are indicated in clause 3.
    5. About aggressive Romania with Hungary is very interesting. But the problems with money are the same as in Poland. In the event of the collapse of the Ukrainian state, the EU is just interested in holding the buffer state, and not accepting another 40 million beggars at all. And the great Romania has not yet had the courage to deal even with Bessarabia; it is the failed (excuse me if I offend anyone) state of Moldova. She has very bad money.

    Author, please write more!
    Ukraine is an independent state, we are not Ukrainians, we owe them nothing by definition, and we are not obliged to maintain any “dialogue” with them. All the problems of Ukraine are only and exclusively the problems of the Ukrainians themselves, but not ours.


    Briefly, succinctly, on business. Well done, Author.

    Perhaps the author would first need to get acquainted with the subject of the article, at least in general terms?
    the Germans (and one third of modern Poland stands precisely on the former German lands) did not like this new border at all. And by the way, yes: it was not conducted by certain allies, but clearly and specifically by JV Stalin.

    How the borders of Poland were drawn at the Tehran Conference is no secret

    Churchill's proposal was accepted that Poland’s claim to the lands of Western Belarus and Western Ukraine would be satisfied at the expense of Germany, and that the Curzon line (a conditional line) should be in the east as a border. Churchill finally decided the territorial issue, laying out three matches on the map of Eastern Europe. He laid two of them parallel to the borders of pre-war Poland, and the third - along the Curzon Line. Then Churchill took the extreme (eastern) match and shifted it to the west, at the same distance from the western border of Poland as from the Curzon Line, already along the Oder-Neisse line. Such a simple reception was approved by all participants, the USSR received areas in the northern territories of East Prussia with Königsberg, which soon after the occupation of the city by the Red Army was called Kaliningrad.

    According to Roosevelt’s proposal, this was not reported to the Pole (in the States there was a large Polish community and he was afraid of indignation), they had nothing to do with the adoption of new borders
    In addition, these issues were resolved at the Yalta Conference; the final Border Line was different from the Curzon Line, but overall was pretty close.
    In the same place at the Yalta Conference, in addition to finally resolving the borders, due to heavy losses and active participation in the war with the Nazis, it was decided that the Ukrainian SSR and the BSSR would be among the founding states of the UN, and as a result, the People’s Commissariats were first created in the BSSR and the Ukrainian SSR foreign affairs, and later - ministries
    Finally, a new border was enshrined in the main document on the official results of the Second World War in Europe, the decisions of the Potsdam Conference.
    As for borders, the inviolability of borders after the war persisted and consisted in the fact that states can not claim in any form to annex the territories of another state, which is respected.
    Therefore, for example, Kosovo Albanians cannot join Albania, however much they would like
    As the author needs to be more serious about the actual side of the issue, in my opinion

    Everything flows, everything changes, so there is no need to raise the boundaries of consciousness. Politics is a concentrated expression of the economy. Every idea inevitably shames itself, when it is separated from interest. There is no economy without interest, so the basis of the state is economic interests. The state is primarily an economy, i.e. state borders are set on socio-economic grounds. Interest will change - borders will change. Not only in Eastern Europe. Fasten your seat belt.

          the borders of all states in Europe, and therefore they will refrain now and in the future from
          any encroachment on these borders.


          So tell this to the Serbs.


          While being respected


          After the "recognition" of Kosovo, Russia officially declared that international law is like hell!
          That is, Russia (the country that defeated Hitler) posed the question with an edge - if you recognize Kosovo, then all previous agreements and treaties seem to be suspended.
          Like the European borders.

          They admitted.

          Well, a flag in your hands and a drum around your neck!

              no - Hitler was defeated exclusively by the Westerners and the Balts (because the nations are civilized, European) and therefore won.

                  And Ukraine renounced it ... itself, voluntarily
                  Or did he serve in "Galicia"?

                    And where did you get the idea that she renounced? The day before yesterday I was in Victory Park in Zaporozhye, everything is removed, the Victory monument is well-groomed, ready for the anniversary. The year before last I was with a portrait of my grandfather at the "Victory Regiment" action, an analogue of your Immortal Regiment, I wanted it in this too, it was planned, but now in connection with this coronavirus I don't know if there will be any celebrations at all. You yourself can see a photo of the Jew Zelensky on the Internet, at the grave of the veteran's grandfather last year. That is why I am surprised the Russians, who know everything about us, just don’t fly. wink

                    Listen to the media less. I have both Russian and Ukrainian channels. There is an opportunity to compare. I try to watch only movies and that's it. News programs and all sorts of talk shows are five minutes of hatred what is there, what is there. Expansion and income for propagandists. Straight after Orwell's 1984. Regards, Red Dragon.

                      And I, as it were, have already made all the conclusions.
                      In Ukraine.
                      Miracles do not happen.

                      I somehow do not really believe in the magical Ukrainians, who were slandered by the Russian media.

          That's right, for now. Let's remember how long the "Versailles" order served
          - until the 39th, how long "Potsdam" lasted - until the 91st, how many
          hold out "Helsinki"?

    The author so interestingly described the problem that Maltz forgot about Russia. With this approach, we should recall who and in the person of which state signed the treaty abroad with Japan and China. Although in the Far East in five years there will be some kind of thread of the Far Eastern People’s Republic of China. Do not go to the grandmother. And all the quiet glanders are purely economic and demographic leverage. And no swords needed
