An article by Vladimir Putin about World War II was published in an American magazine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin published an article in the American edition of National Interest, “75 years of the Great Victory: shared responsibility before history and the future "dedicated to the Second World War. The material was published in English, the Russian version was published on the Kremlin website and" Rossiyskaya Gazeta ".

According to Putin, today's European politicians are trying to reconsider the reasons for the outbreak of World War II, thereby equating the USSR with Nazi Germany. The main criticism was the resolution adopted by the European Parliament on September 19, 2019, in which European deputies are actually trying to equate the USSR and Nazi Germany.



Putin draws attention to the fact that World War II could have been prevented if Great Britain and France had acted more decisively, and the League of Nations created after World War I had shown its effectiveness, which was not done. The proposals of the Soviet Union to create a European security system were ignored.

The Russian president accused a number of European politicians, in particular Polish, of trying to withhold information about the "Munich agreement", which resulted in the division of Czechoslovakia. Putin recalled that Hitler and Mussolini, as well as the heads of government of Great Britain and France Neville Chamberlain and Eduard Daladier participated in it, and the section itself was fully approved by the League of Nations.

Putin noted the contribution of the USSR to the defeat of Nazi Germany. According to him, the contribution of the Soviet Army to the defeat of the Nazis is three quarters. Against this background, articles are increasingly appearing in the European press trying to distort the truth about World War II and the reasons for its beginning, especially the Molotov-Ribbentropp Pact.

The President called on other countries to declassify archives regarding documents on the Second World War and reiterated Russia's consent to international cooperation.

We do not know if there are any secret “protocols” or additions to the agreements that a number of countries have concluded with the Nazis. The only thing left for us is to take their word for it,

- Putin stressed.

In conclusion, the Russian president said that he did not intend to assume the role of a judge in matters of the history of World War II, but believed that everyone needed the truth about this war.

For our part, we note that the published material caused an ambiguous reaction. According to some political experts, Putin’s article “blew up the Western media,” however, Russia responded differently to it.

    Putin noted the contribution of the USSR to the defeat of Nazi Germany.
    The word "contribution" jarred me ... WE WON! And if not for our successes, then contributions there were no other countries ...

      Western, correct point. In diplomatic language, the word "contribution" even when mentioning 2/3 is a recognition of the equal magnitude of everyone's efforts to defeat Nazi Germany. There was no equal area. It was our victory. Dot.

          It's good that Putin wrote such an article. But I believe that in modern political conditions, when we are squeezed from all sides, unreasonably accused of such sins that are just a product of the sick imagination of accusers, it is impossible to use the outdated idea of ​​the need for diplomatic smoothing of corners. I understand that now there will be a lot of information about the powerful contribution to the victory of the Western countries. What if WE lost? Despite their "powerful contributions"? It makes sense for all of us to think about it. They thought. Hollywood even filmed a bunch of TV series about how Hitler and Japan established power over the world, and what came of it. The prudent methods of diplomacy are perceived by the Western world insolent in their aggressive madness as a manifestation of weakness. It is necessary harder, harder. Calm but tougher.

            An article by Vladimir Putin about World War II was published in an American magazine.

            The "Recorder" prize would have been instituted for such an occasion. I averted for the sake of writing an article, in fact. And he barricaded himself from pressing problems and uncomfortable questions.
            And if we lost?

            Our Soviet ancestors won ... And we live under the flags of the losers. And the stars changed to crosses ... Coat of arms - I don’t know at all how to characterize culturally. Even if all officials begin to scream and register every day, one must clearly understand that Victory is achieved not by idle chatter and paper scrambling, but by concrete actions and their results. It is possible to marry the whole World in a circle in a ostentatious order in vain and flap fireworks every day - everything will be wasted. The army is not red in parades, but in victories. We need to complete the fact that our ancestors did not have time and never stoop to the state in which the victorious country is now.

              Let's put aside unnecessary scrupulousness, but just for ourselves we conclude that this should have been dealt with not now, but even before Crimea became part of Russia. So to use this platform, even if it’s not very well known, to present our view of history, is not only useful but also necessary. Especially taking into account the interest of the Western layman to Putin’s personality. It is easy to predict that this resource will be visited by many people, and this accordingly will make other resources try to host an interview with the head of the country. So our PR specialists made an excellent move, especially in connection with the 75th anniversary of the Victory, and this must be recognized, not criticized for being placed there. Remember the speeches of Brezhnev and the work of Lenin, which the Soviet government published in the West, and which no one read there - at least we don’t have to pay for the article here, and this is a plus.

                and what is the connection? What does the Crimea have to do with it? Do you think that if Putin tells us what an innocent pacifist and victim of treachery the USSR was, then in the West they will not draw an analogy between the Crimea and the Sudetenland? But it’s just not easy to recall Munich, introducing foreign territory into its composition. laughing

                the western man doesn’t give a damn what Putin thinks about WWII. He will be bored of listening to Putin's opinion from the first paragraph.

                    In 1975 97% of Sikkim residents voted to join India. Entered, now it is an Indian state. And thirty years before, when India gained independence (why not a revolution?), Sikkim sent Nah Nehr with his urgent proposal to become a member. And yet, it is considered a classic annexation. But I already somehow forgot about it. Forget about the Crimea.

                        In order to properly evaluate what was happening in Crimea, you need to know at least our history since pre-Petrine times. And we have an idea about this. But what the Indians had there, for us the example is not correct - they still have castes, i.e. in general, something that is not clear to our mind, and you are already aligning them with us.

                      Before 1975, Chögyal Sikkim was held in power by guards from Tibetan refugees. The country was on the brink of civil war. Sikkim alone could not maintain independence and even just the identity of China. So the entry of Sikkim into India was the best solution for all its inhabitants except Chögyal. And it was even a blessing for the Tibetans loyal to the Chogyal from his guard.

        Lyudmila Yakovlevna, in fact, this is already an established pattern. .
        Maybe not quite in place, but I want to say what I’ve been thinking about for a long time.
        Russia has traditionally had a high culture, people read a lot and their vocabulary was high. Over time, the culture of the population began to decline.
        To a large extent this is also connected with literature: if we compare the style of Pushkin, Lermontov, Nikitin, Fet and 20 writers into this heaven and earth! I don’t want to offend anyone, but FEW of the 20th century visitors can compare with the 19th century writers.
        And now people read little and think even less. Why should I read a book and even think, I'll look in the "box" on the Internet, read something and already "smart yak vutka".

          Does it bother you that a modern school graduate has knowledge, the volume of which is greater than that of any teacher-professor of Moscow State University in the 19th century? The volume of knowledge itself has grown so much, it has become so diverse that sometimes there is no time left for a detailed study of this knowledge, which is why this is the lot of narrow specialists. I will not praise the current education system, because I think it is wrong, but on the other hand, I am not an expert, and I do not communicate in the environment that is busy teaching our children at school. And so the thought creeps in, maybe everyone does not need fundamental knowledge, and it is better to leave it for a narrow circle of people who will devote their whole life to science, and the rest have enough information from the "box" and the network?

        There was nothing special in the non-aggression pact itself.
        He asked to retrieve from the archives the entire array of materials related to contacts between the USSR and Germany in the dramatic days of August and September 1939. According to the documents: clause 2 of the Secret Protocol to the Non-Aggression Pact between Germany and the USSR of August 23, 1939 established that in the event of a territorial and political reorganization of the regions that make up the Polish state, the border of the spheres of interests of the two countries should "approximately run along the river Narew, Vistula and Sana ". In other words, the Soviet sphere of influence included not only the territories inhabited mainly by the Ukrainian and Belarusian population, but also the historical Polish lands between the Bug and Vistula rivers. Not everyone knows about this fact now.

            Slovakia got "its own" during the partition of Poland and this, too, simply could not happen, especially since Slovakia simultaneously invaded Poland with Germany. That is why the Poles do not make claims to her?

              yes, the Slovaks have reclaimed the territory chopped off by the Poles in 1919 and 1938. The “recapture” of this piece with an area of ​​only 770 sq. Km and a population of 35 thousand people was a “naked prestige”. Absolute analogy with the USSR, which "returned its own" during the Liberation campaign.

Level wording "authenticity of secret protocols raises questions"You can't prohibit calling and having questions, right? Putin, if anything, is not at all shy about vague wording, in particular, he says" there is no evidence that there were no secret protocols with other countries ", this is just some kind of hell. on the issue of these specific secret protocols, Putin is beginning to be ashamed of even vague wordings.

                  I would be wary of believing everything that is now presented to us as "historical documents" from the archive, and not because the late Ilyukhin directly indicated that in the early nineties many historical fakes were made that were thrown into the media or leaked abroad, like for example "Mitrokhin's archive".
                  Without any spy mania, I will only note that the art of forging documents, including old ones, is owned by all the secret services of the world, and even more so in the era of paper media of the last century, it was at the highest level. Such documents are needed to legalize agents, which is why sometimes forgeries were made better than the originals - and this happened. So with the "secret protocol", the original of which was not seen in Soviet times, and suddenly it came out "by accident", you also need to be careful.

                "with someone like Dyukov or Isaev" it is now fashionable not to recognize official historians, but to read alternative authors, and they are also different. For example: Zadornov as a satirist or Zadornov as a historian are two big differences. Or the "patriotic" historian Miltyukhov, the majority of Soviet and modern Russian historians, to put it mildly, doubt that the NKVD shot all Poles, and Miltyukhov believes that L.P. Beria personally shot. "Suvorov" is sure that Stalin was going to attack Germany and Miltyukhov is sure of this.
                It seems that he does not believe in "secret protocols", I will twice believe in these protocols, but that Stalin with a cudgel sneaks up on "white and fluffy" Hitler. Dismiss

How the borders between the shards of Austria-Hungary were drawn. Do you know? How did Masaryk "create" an independent CSR? Teshin? It was a conflict frozen for 20 years. In dynamics it is necessary to consider, and not think in cliches. One Versailles misunderstanding, using a convenient moment, chopped off a piece of 2 thousand square kilometers from another misunderstanding. And then this "chop off", in turn, squeezed out 710 sq. Km ..... well, and Zap.Ukrainu and Zap.BR in pursuit - misunderstandings in turn were terpily. And the interestants thoughtfully declared "we are returning ours!"

                Each of the three wars - WWI, WWII and XV - had the agenda, among others, "the Polish question". And, by the way, the current antics of Poland and its attempts to take one of the leading positions in Europe - this is also an "agenda". They are constantly reanimating everyone in Europe sick of the problem of the beginning of WWII and "who unleashed it."

And from "his", squeezed out as a result of the Liberation campaign, Comrade Stalin suddenly abandoned in 41st, exchanging territories for co-opting with the recent eventual enemy No. 1 - Britain.

Which, incidentally, was part of the non-intervention committee, like Germany. I am quite aware of the epic of the export of gold reserves.

                        You see, I did not dispute the conclusions about the difference in the scale of the theater of war between S. Afrika and the Eastern Front - at least that would be stupid. The meaning of my remark was different. For me, the dimensions of the theater of operations mentioned above are the lengths of the fronts, the concentration of troops, and the like. For you - the number of crosses and funerals. That's all. Why this pick?

      The word "contribution" jarred me ..

      There are still such phrases:
      The political map of the planet has changed. No Soviet Union, which won a grandiose, crushing victory over Nazism, saved the whole world.

      It is important to convey to the descendants the memory that the victory over Nazism was won primarily by the Soviet people, that in this heroic struggle - at the front and in the rear, shoulder to shoulder - were representatives of all republics of the Soviet Union.

      And what distorted you in the original is:
      The Soviet Union, the Red Army, made the main, decisive contribution to the rout of Nazism — no matter what they try to prove. Heroes who fought to the end surrounded by Bialystok and Mogilev, Uman and Kiev, Vyazma and Kharkov. They went on the attack near Moscow and Stalingrad, Sevastopol and Odessa, Kursk and Smolensk. They liberated Warsaw, Belgrade, Vienna and Prague. They stormed Königsberg and Berlin.

Perhaps this was specially presented so that in the negotiations on preserving memory and facts without lying, everyone had a sense of equality. If we negotiate from the position of the guilty and the main ones in the victory, it will be difficult to reach a compromise. An article is more a message than just an article.

      I'm sure you haven't even read the original article! V.V. Putin cited figures, percentages and statistics. Therefore, "contribution" as a word is quite appropriate. Moreover, the very beginning of the article and its continuation and the main conclusions concerning the Russian Federation, its present and future are based on:
      "It is important for me and my peers that our children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren understand what trials and torments their ancestors went through. How, why were they able to withstand and win? Where did their truly iron fortitude come from, which surprised and delighted the whole world? Yes. , they defended their home, children, loved ones, family.But everyone was united by love for the Motherland, for the Fatherland.This deep, personal feeling in its entirety is reflected in the very essence of our people and became one of the defining ones in its heroic, sacrificial struggle against the Nazis .

I read and realized that everything was thought out even when Hitler finally became the Fuhrer. If at that time it would not have been needed for the war with the USSR, then the United States at that time would not have been. Even in the States at that time they dreamed of a dictatorship.

    The term "World War II" is needed to nullify our victory over fascism.

    There were two different wars.

    The war on the Western Front was for us a war of liberation.
    The war on the Far Eastern Eastern Front is a war in fulfillment of allied obligations, military assistance to China in the liberation of Manchuria from Japanese militarism, and, as it does not seem sharp, the seizure of Japan’s part of Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands that belonged to us earlier (under the kings).

    The emperor of Japan admitted defeat only after the bombing of the United States by the nuclear bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

    In fact, the United States is the winner in the Far Eastern War. Recognizing that our patriotic war in the West with the participation of the United States and Agnglia and the Far Eastern war with our participation, I do not beg the honor and valor of our soldiers, recognizing both these wars as one whole and calling them by a common name - "World War II", we recognize a victory for the United States in it, a victory for the United States not only in the Far East but also in the West.

    We were in Berlin. The US was in Tokyo. Medvedev in 2010 recognized the victory of the United States in WWII. I don't want to admit the term "World War II". For me, these are two different wars and the Second World War, we were the winners!

      Add to this that before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on the planet, two wars went on in parallel, one in Europe, the other in Asia, which were not separate world wars. And even then in Asia formally there was no war. There was a border conflict between Japan and China.

      After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, on December 8, 1941, she declared war on Britain. On December 9, the Chiang Kai-shek government declared war on the “axis countries": Germany and Italy, becoming an ally of the USSR and Great Britain, and the next day they finally managed to do the same for the samurai.

      Here is the real date when truly more than half of the world's population officially, openly and legally divided into two clearly defined blocks.

      The commission's tasks included defining a formula according to which a defeated Germany was to compensate for the damage suffered by the victorious powers. The commission came to the following conclusion: “The number of days spent by Germany on the Soviet front soldier exceeds the same amount on all other allied fronts by at least 10 times. The Soviet front also delayed four-fifths of German tanks and about two-thirds of German aircraft. ” On the whole, the USSR accounted for about 75 percent of all the military efforts of the anti-Hitler coalition.

    This was done in violation of the charter of the League of Nations, which was directly stated by Soviet diplomats, but no one was listening to them.

Further, I would suggest that the UN disperse, create a new structure and with headquarters not in the USA, but for example in China, Malaysia or the Philippines, and maybe Vietnam.

That lousy thing. We at our place know this well and understand. Therefore, we never support sanctions against the Russian Federation.

                      Here's a snap:

                      "I think that this is not a question only for Russia. It is a question for all interested delegations and for the entire committee," said Sacha Sergio Llorentti Solis, chairman of the first committee of the 74th session of the UN General Assembly, Bolivia's permanent representative to the world organization.

                      The Bolivian diplomat emphasized that if any delegation gets less opportunities to work due to visa issues, then this is a common issue. Solis intends to apply for a visa issue with a question to the Secretary General of the United Nations, António Guterres, and to the chairman of the session of the General Assembly, TASS reports.

                      The work of the disarmament committee was suspended until 10 October, when a general discussion could begin. Visas other than Russian representatives were not received by members of delegations from Cuba and from Iran. Also, due to the denial of visas, the work of the sixth UN committee on international law was stopped.

                      “We will do our best to solve the problem,” emphasized Sacha Sergio Llorentti Solis.

      The paradox is that the "peoples of the world" are busy with an incredible heap of their pressing problems and the old "secret springs" have not been in the forefront of their priorities for a long time. They are looking to the future. They have no time to look back. Nothing has changed behind.

        The only incentive for a person is to have time to “live” in his life, and this is what causes mostly political turbulence, that is, there is always a demand to “live even better”. And politicians are always willing to support this request, as it allows their own requests to be easily resolved.

          So they ask, why do you keep looking back at the distant past? What do you want from those who have never fought with you? They do not understand why the wounds would suddenly start bleeding after 80 (eighty!) Years? They believe that the wounds have healed long ago and there is no need to reopen them, that there is no need for the great-great-grandchildren of the participants in the War to artificially evoke patriotic feelings at great monetary costs. They ask in plain text, do you have any other worries? Spit on everyone from the high bell tower, take care of your welfare.

    According to some political experts, Putin's article "blew up the Western media," but Russia also reacted differently to it.

    Actually, such a reaction was predictable. Western media have always been the property of individuals who used them to achieve their goals. The proposal to reveal the cards, providing wide access to historical documents and secret protocols, is a direct challenge to compare whose truth is stronger. Let this part of the article be discussed by those to whom it is intended.
    However, there are such lines in the article:
    Now we have new traditions born of the people, such as the Immortal Regiment. This is a march of our grateful memory, a vital, lively connection between generations. Millions of people go to processions with photographs of their relatives, who have defended the Fatherland and defeated Nazism. This means that their life, trials and sacrifices, the victory they gave us will never be forgotten.

    Can these words about memory, about the connection between generations explain the economic and political system that is happening in the country, which meets the interests of the majority for the sake of which these sacrifices were made?
    And further:
    Our responsibility to the past and future is to do everything to prevent the recurrence of terrible tragedies.

    And what has been done in this regard over twenty years, including the time of the 90s - the time of the revision of property, historical, economic, political and cultural values?

    Why was it necessary to repeat the old Soviet ideological premises?
    "Obviously, there were no other options. Otherwise, the risks for the USSR would increase many times over, since, I repeat, the old Soviet-Polish border passed only a few tens of kilometers from Minsk, and the inevitable war with the Nazis would begin for the country from extremely unfavorable strategic positions. And millions of people of different nationalities, including Jews living near Brest and Grodno, Przemysl, Lvov and Vilno, would be thrown into extermination by the Nazis and their local minions - anti-Semites and radical nationalists"

    Minsk was occupied on the 7th day of the war. Was it such an advantageous strategic position? Not on the second, but on the seventh ...
    In fact, it was a miscalculation - to leave the old defensive lines without completing the creation of new, big miscalculation.
    Or did the USSR deported Jews into the interior of the country? No, I didn’t deport them - they all lived as well "near Brest and Grodno, Przemysl, Lviv and Vilna".
    Probably, we need to thoroughly understand why, with such active preparations for a future war, the USSR was absolutely not ready for it ...

    THE MOST IMPORTANT!!!


    The Russian president accused a number of European politicians, in particular Polish ones, of trying to conceal information about the "Munich Agreement", which resulted in the division of Czechoslovakia. Putin recalled that it was attended by Hitler and Mussolini, as well as the heads of government of Great Britain and France, Neville Chamberlain and Edouard Daladier, and the partition itself was held with the full approval of the League of Nations



    The Czechs called it: MINHENSKAYA betrayal.
    The problem here is that the European "politicians" deb..and does not want to see how much it is similar to the partition of Serbia at the beginning of the 21st century, when Germany, in place with NATO, destroyed Yugoslavia and now I want to divide Serbia.


    Then it will be announced in their history that nekatori novi "GAVRILO PRINCIPLE" is to blame for the world war !!!

      we also add because historians "do not know" 1 World War began with the OCCUPATION (Anexiom) of Bosnia at the end of the 19th century, when the Serbs liberated Bosnia from the Turkish occupation by the Herzegian uprising, the Turks and Habsburgs conspired to Occupy Bosnia on the side of the Habsburgs (Austria Hungary). When Gvrilo Princip slammed Ferdinand in 1914 in OKUPIRAN SARAEV, it was just the consequences of the occupation. Esli bi Hitler came to Belgrade for the 1941 parades, just as it was hitting so hard that Petar Petrovic would have killed him in Belgrade! Then, in history for the half-Idites, "historians" would write that World War II and the Holocaust of the Jews, like the genocide of the Slavs, began in Belgrade when Petar Petrovich slammed Hitler in Belgrade !!!

    There is no doubt that this Red Banner was over the Reichstag in 1945, but, as in the article, President Putin wrote, given the honesty and objectivity of history, one can discuss with the opinion of the Author, for example, the statement about the League of Natsy and its effectiveness then is very doubtful, or, that the United States "nurtured" fascism by building factories, factories, etc. in Germany after WWI, but also in the USSR the United States then supplied technologies, equipment, machine tools, for example. GAZ, Magnitka and other industries. objects, then according to this logic it can be argued that the imperialists of the United States "nurtured" the communists of the USSR, which, in the opinion of the Germans at that time, may have been a threat to Germany.
    About the perpetrators of WWII, in the main. The author is right, this is cowardice, selfishness, short-sightedness, etc., but then the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact is not sinless. Stalin knew about Hitler's work "Mein Kampf", in Germany, politicians and not only Hitler did not hide the need for living space in the East, Barbarossa's plan in the USSR was known. In 1939-40, Germany had no opportunity to attack the USSR, in Poland, in 1939, the Germans used up almost all the bombs, the service life of the equipment of the German Armed Forces was also significantly spent, V. Britain and France declared war on Germany and began mobilizing that there would be a "strange war" then no one could have known. In 1940, only the "miracle of Dunkirk" saved the British army from almost complete destruction, and at that time the USSR had a benevolent neutrality towards Germany, like that of Sweden. There were supplies to Germany of coal, oil products, ore, and other strategic materials, and most importantly, a reliable rear was provided.

    From the article:

    In November 1940, the Führer Adolf Hitler made his last attempt to persuade the USSR to join the Alliance of the Third Reich, fascist Italy and militaristic Japan, Russian President Vladimir Putin wrote in his article for the American magazine The National Interest.

    Hitler then tried to persuade the Soviet leadership, headed by Joseph Stalin, to unite with the Axis countries during the visit of the USSR People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Vyacheslav Molotov to Berlin, but he did not give in.

    When Vova Putin dreamed of becoming a scout, the damned commies made him step on the throat of his own beloved, liberal song. But, even this was his first good experience of owning himself into the legend of the future great mystifier, the result of which was an excellent biography of the pioneer-Komsomol member-communist.
    And carbon monoxide Hitler, according to Vladimir Vladimirovich, stunningly fooled everyone, first in prison, writing "Mein Kampf", and then confirming this legend, jailing, shooting a bunch of communists and Jews. But, according to the article of the writer, this turned out to be enough to drive up to Stalin, the leader of the world proletariat with a shameless proposal for partnership. The hidden meaning is clear too, power-hungry people do not need any ideology.
    It sometimes seems to me sometimes that something will not work out with a new ideology for Russia, patriotism promoted on behalf of the president, after such a free interpretation of the events of the preceding WWII.

    History could take a completely different path if Hitler considered options for mutually beneficial cooperation with the USSR (which happened until June 1944). But history does not tolerate the subjunctive mood. In fact, the secret protocols of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact make the Soviet Union the same aggressor as Germany, which after the attack of the latter went beyond the borders of western Belarus, Ukraine and Poland, having joined them through military operations. Our Great Victory is a great achievement of our great-grandfathers who, at the cost of incredible efforts and sacrifices, made our free life possible. But history must be remembered as a whole picture, and not presented with its individual sections under the guise of true truth.

By the way, the story of the Warsaw Uprising cannot be forgotten either, because Stalin did not succumb to the bait and simply watched with pleasure how the Fritz’s enemies convince the British litter from the Home Army.

    An article by Vladimir Putin about World War II was published in an American magazine.
    I got acquainted on the official website.
    The mountain gave birth to ... a mouse. Repetition (and in a truncated form) of well-known facts. After reading it, I got the impression that the people gathered at the veche on Red Square and decided - Ayda to fight the fascist enemy, and went in a crowd, some with an ax, some with a spear, and some with a rattle ... Straight, as in "Burnt by the Sun" ....
    In general, better than what is written in the 12-volume academic edition published by the Military Publishing House from 1973 to 1982. "History of the Second World War 1939-1945" hardly anyone will be able to present those events in the near future. It provides a deep analysis of the pre-war situation, the contradictions, and most importantly the reasons that led to the war, describes all the most important operations, in all theaters of operations, and illustrated with maps with the situation, in dynamics. I often turn to him when some "historians" begin to procrastinate on this or that topic of the past war. I think that at one time I was lucky to subscribe and redeem this publication in full. sad

    Naturally, Putin did not mention the article (http://kremlin.ru/events/president/news/63527) about the initially destabilizing role of Bolshevik Russia itself.
    It was the separate world of the Bolsheviks with Germany (in fact - the betrayal of the Allies of the Entente) that led the French and the British to punish Germany so hard after the victory that had been so hard for them. And not only because it was a geopolitical victory in the clash of colonial empires.
    But also because Russia was not among the winners, which would not allow Germany to dictate such humiliating and unbearable conditions of peace, traditionally having close dynastic, financial-industrial, scientific and cultural ties with Germany. And just human - a noticeable part of Russian engineers, doctors, artisans, officials and officers (who honestly fought at the WWI front for Russia!) Were ethnic Germans.

    Bolshevism was extremely aggressive from the first days of its existence. He elevated to the rank of state ideology incompatibility, class enmity, repression against dissidents. The Bolsheviks opposed themselves to Christianity and bourgeois virtues dominant in Europe, the USA.
    In fact, by this, having paved the way for the ideology of Nazism - at the heart of which is the same division of society into "ours and not ours", the cult of "state violence" and rejection of humanistic values.

    The Soviets raved about a "world revolution" for a long time - which threatened to destabilize the entire Western world and the regions under its control (already unstable due to the beginning of the decolonization processes); among the accusations of the Great Terror of the 30s). Therefore, in particular, even in the liberal-bourgeois democracies (Britain, France, Belgium and even the United States) there were many sympathizers of Francoism, Italian fascism and even Nazism. in authoritarian leaders such as Hitler, Franco, Mussolini or Pilsudski, many bourgeois saw protection from the "Reds and Jews", not trusting the "liberal talkers" (for example, France approached the WWII politically weakened, where a dozen governments were replaced in 10 years).

    Putin is somehow too "openly naive" for a politician of this level, ignoring the annexation of the Baltic states by the USSR and the unsuccessful attack on Finland. Which divided pre-war Europe even more (Putin mentioned the League of Nations, but also chose not to focus on why the USSR was excluded from it and why it turned out to be ineffective) and gave Hitler the illusion that he would be able to take advantage of these contradictions (after all, this is not so was an illusion, judging by the victims of WWII). And what about the "contradictory" policy of the USSR in the war in Spain? High-profile political murders and abductions, which the GPU-NKVD sinned in Europe against the leaders of the Russian anti-communist emigration and before Mexico (Trotsky's murder)? - so reminiscent of the murky case of the Sripals.
    Thus, the USSR also has a fair amount of blame for the fact that in pre-war Europe it was not possible to create a single anti-Nazi front and prevent the victims of WWII / WWII.

    Such an unbalanced article would be perfect for domestic use in Russia by May 9th. And even then anyone who, apart from the propaganda of the Soloviev-Skabeyevs-Pushkov-Kulikovs and others, at least occasionally opens the magazines Rodina, Clio, or Russia in Global Affairs, etc., will be surprised at its “kindergarten” level.
    To palm off "such" on the President of Russia for publication in foreign media - imho, this is a successful "ideological sabotage of damned liberals" (they are always to blame for everything;)

        Konda "this mantra is repeated by all cave anti-communists," they all take into account.
        And as a typical "caveman anti-Bolshevik" (true truth!) I said about this - a bad "example is contagious." And even more so, such methods of "solving the final solution of the issue", whether Jewish or class, against the background of the global financial crisis and the "collapse of empires", were in the air.

        It was the same in the USSR after the Civil War - figuratively speaking, no "world revolution" would have given itself to us.

        And you see a realist. Only the Bolshevik-Trotskyists were still rushing about with these fantasies for a long time (and not entirely without foundation - the revolution in Germany, the growth of left movements in Europe.
        In what year was the Comintern disbanded? - by the time they realized that they would have to "build in a separate country."

        Do not tell people, this is not a kindergarten and people know how to look a little deeper than typed letters. If you don’t understand that Putin’s article is a politically verified statement, worked out at least at the level of several ministries led by the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then it’s useless for you to explain that Putin personally signed this text,

        So I'm just talking about this - "a politically verified statement." Very one-sided, the text was composed for him. And that is why it is very vulnerable to criticism.
        And your reference to the ministries does not sound very convincing - the level of expertise in our country has fallen catastrophically (and not least because there is a "negative selection" of those who submit "anything's?"). Confirmation of this is the "brilliant" foreign policy of all these powerful "ministries and departments" in the direction of Ukraine, Georgia, Poland, the Baltic countries. Soon Belarus may join them. And then Putin has to cut the Gordian knots tightened by his own unfortunate creatures.

        Do not fantasize - I think a similar article was in the plans for 2020 at the end of 2019

        Are you arguing with yourself? Did I say somewhere about spontaneity? Not.
        I agree - everything was done according to plan, I would say thoughtfully ... - the result is only "as always". I'm talking about that.

        Starting with the Munich speech, Putin does strange things. Why openly oppose the Western world without political, economic, or industrial potential? To further anger our enemies in the West? Why make the neutrals bow to the camp of enemies?
        And why substitute our friends in the West? (and there are many of them) To whom, after such sloppy statements, it is very difficult to convince their compatriots that Russia is only snarling.
        All the same could be done quietly, without making loud statements, gradually building muscles.
        We still have a very weak economy. Russia has no allies - from the word in general. In the "allied" countries there are no elites who have a common worldview with us (except, maybe, China, but it is very selfish and closed). They are solving purely tactical tasks - they will stay in power in their countries. This is the maximum that they can do. But they do not have a single view of the Strategy for the Future. (again, the exception is China - they have a Big Strategy, but this is precisely their vision, where Russia is "assigned a place"). See how all Western allies line up like a pig on matters of principle.
        This is a consequence of the Unified Ideological Attitudes, Political Culture in the elites of the Western countries (I do not discuss whether they are true or not).

        Moscow could not achieve anything in detail, since we ourselves do not have a Strategy for the Future. Our "horizon" is another term of V.V.P. Is this a strategy ?? Where are the mechanisms for renewing elites? Where are the mechanisms of homeostasis - competing mechanisms of development and conservative?

        As a liberal, I have only one answer - with such foreign political means, Putin solves purely domestic political problems. In this case, to consolidate the society around you, playing on our national quality - to rally around the leader at a difficult moment. For this, Russia must be kept in a state of "besieged fortress" all the time. I fully agree with A. Privalov 19 June 2020 21:36 "... there is no need for the great-great-grandchildren of the participants in the War to artificially evoke patriotic feelings, with great monetary costs." and I myself ask - do we have any other worries?

            I am not flattering myself, but - the "contingent" simply will not read It, do you understand?
            The West, represented by the "contingent", graduated from WWII 75 years ago. The Beatles and other Liverpudlians started their careers in clubs in Hamburg. Which was only rebuilt after it was almost completely destroyed by the allied aviation - the children, whose fathers "yesterday" killed each other, were already hanging out together in the late 50s. And only the totalitarian USSR, North. Korea, China continued to wind up - "War, war, war! Don't you dare forget. You are dissatisfied with something? No boots, no tights? Kommunalka?" But there was a war. .. "

            And you can hang your labels as "caveman anti-communist", "demagogue" (and what else is accepted there, "class enemy"? - you can see the Bolshevik leaven, the dictionary of "political information"). But in the USSR (as in Russia today), the Second World War was made a propaganda tool in order to prevent reforms, precisely those people whose horizon of "operational management of the country" does not extend beyond "the level of the average workshop in Soviet times."
            But, even in the CPSU, the larger people saw that strategically the USSR was going “in the wrong direction” (even Lenin with his plans for NEP, and before the plans of reforms by Beria or Kosygin). But they were not allowed to liberalize the USSR, which is political and economic, like Russia today. The result is known - the very "greatest geopolitical catastrophe."

            ... especially given that the government’s personnel are clearly not the best.


            And where did he get such a composition of the government? - Did the oligarchs impose it on Yeltsin? No, Putin "deleted all of them equally" (for which I sincerely thank him,
            because, according to all my pocketbooks of the State Department, the oligarchy is one of the main threats to democracy).
            Or does he have to be a "lame duck" when the government is incapacitated, because it was formed according to the coalition principle ("swan, cancer and pike", which is not uncommon in democracies), or completely oppositional parties in parliament? - Again, no. There are no "parties" in our "no place for discussion" at all.
            We have a government "named after President-Russian-Federation-Vladimir-Vladimirovich-Putin" - he assembled it and himself created a system that, as under the Soviets, does not allow "fresh brains" to run the country.

            No, the article is weak - not a "state" article.

              But your entire demagogy about the article and the eaten up egg are not worth it. As for whether Putin’s article will be read in the West, it’s not for you to judge - you’re afraid to admit that it’s just another propaganda step to bring our point of view to the whole world, and this alone was worth publishing in an American publication.

              What you personally have is unlikely to concern the vast majority of the country - they believe Putin, and it infuriates you. Do not take it to heart - the dog barks, the caravan goes ...

                Let's end this senseless squabble. Your arguments boil down to the word "demagoguery" repeated ten times and groundless accusations that I "don't understand", "I'm afraid", "enrages" something.
                Yes, like everyone else I don’t understand much, I’m afraid of something and many things infuriate me. But obviously not what you accuse me of.
                In conclusion, I return you your "compliments" - the only thing you have convinced me is that you yourself are a typical narrow-minded dogmatist-Bolshevik. Than once again proved the defectiveness of this ideology
                and strengthened me in my beliefs, thank you.

                  Your arguments

                  Here you have someone else's arguments for a proper assessment:
                  "The British Foreign Office commented on Putin's article on World War II"
                  https://news.mail.ru/politics/42262493/
                  Kommersant
                  "The Russian Ambassador spoke about the reaction of Germany to Putin's article
                  An article by Russian President Vladimir Putin on World War II actively discussed in political, scientific circles and the general public, Russian Ambassador to Berlin Sergei Nechaev told RIA Novosti. "

    This guy from the video, which Ostashko needs to change his shirt to another ..

    Or maybe you need to change the avatar? wink For, judging by your comment, this Ostashko is a greater supporter of Stalin than you. request

    Firstly, I do not see a logical connection between my avatar and the hero - the author of the video that you posted. winked Secondly, from the content of the video it is obvious that Ostashko is really a big supporter, not just Stalin, but the Guarantor. Respectfully, and see you again for exciting meetings. lol

    Really? If you believe the video that you posted, then it looks more like an associate of the Guarantor.

    Well, if you do not agree with his comments, but agree with people like Garry Kasparov, then your avatar, is this apparently such a banter?

    And that there is no alternative anymore? Either agree with Ostashko, or with Kasparov? crying And if I have a third, alternative opinion that does not coincide with the views of the above individuals - then what? wink lol

    There was nowhere but war

    I listened to the order of the young battalion commander:
    We need to take the height before evening.
    The attack of three mouths will be after sunset,
    So fewer people die in the light

    And so when we crawled under the thorn,
    Hiding the maneuver in the coming darkness,
    Sapper blade with long handle
    It touched a stone on frozen ground.

    Then with a battery that's right on the front
    Fell for a few minutes at a knock.
    I knew in my life only school and company
    The war prevented being someone else.

    And so he stayed, covered in a funnel,
    Forever clutching a rotten butt
    I will never confess my love to a girl.
    An incoming shell cut my way

    And from above flowering, songbirds,
    Heavenly blue, sonorous girl laugh
    And I didn’t have to fall in love in this life
    I gave it for the living, for everyone.

    Soviet-German non-aggression pact of 1939. Question of reality
    the existence of a secret supplementary protocol.

    The existence of the protocol was denied by V.M. Molotov until his death in 1986. According to the existing legend, accepted in international relations as truth, an additional protocol was discovered on October 27, 1992 by the former high-ranking CPSU figure Dmitry Antonovich Volkogonov (1928-1995).
    Could a career Soviet political worker have reason not to love his Motherland and do something nasty to her? Certainly. The father was shot in 1937, the mother with three children was exiled to the Irbeysky district of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, where she died in 1947. According to biographical data, the personal archive of Dmitry Volkogonov since 1996 has been in the Library of Congress. What Western historians write about this person: "Our main disagreement with you concerns the fundamental issues of the methodology of historical analysis, the goals of research. Your methodological approach seems to us absolutely inappropriate, because it is based not on the desire to clarify the historical truth, but on an open political situation. leads to the fact that many of your conclusions sound completely unconvincing, and the reasoning is accompanied by an incredible number of errors and even falsifications. (Pierre Bruet, Alexander Pantsov. "Open letter to General D. A. Volkogonov")
    Even with a cursory acquaintance with the material of German photographs (the original of the protocol was not preserved) and with the papers Volkogonov found, a person with good vision can detect:
    1. On the protocol itself and the explanation to it, Molotov's signature is made with a different calligraphic style of writing the letter "t". In words (protocol) and with a lower stick (explanation). Have you seen that at least one leader changed signatures within 1 minute? In the sample of Molotov's signature in the encyclopedia and in countless documents, the "t" is written with a lower stick.
    2. In the Soviet copy, in the signature of Molotov, there is a dash above the capital letter "t". In German, no. All other small details of the text are the same.
    3. Ribbentrop's signatures clearly do not match the signature model in the encyclopedia. Moreover, they fundamentally differ on the Soviet and German copies in the calligraphic style of the beginning and end of the signature. So in the Soviet Union there is underscore at the end of the signature. In German, no.
    4. The Soviet copy contains a blot when the name of the river "Narev" is printed. It is absent in German. Moreover, the letter "a" pointed from above has signs of using a ballpoint pen.
    5. The very execution of documents, especially the absence of imprinted names of officials, gives the impression that they were drawn up in a hurry, on the knee. Having access to top-secret documents and working with them while serving in the army, I have never seen the "Secret plan", "secret map" and other things in the titles of documents. It was just that the document was registered and the appropriate stamp was affixed on it.
    6. Clause "4" reads: This protocol will be kept in strict confidence by BOTH parties. According to the spelling of the Russian language, it is correct: "by both sides." The Soviet government did not know the rules of the Russian language? The same error in paragraph 1.
    7. In the phrase "For the Government of Germany, a large letter" P "is written in different styles. Moreover, this can be clearly seen without any effort.
    8. In the second paragraph in the phrase "Polish State" the second word is written with a capital letter. According to the rules for writing proper names and geographical names, it should be with a small one.
    Output. What they give us as an official historical document is very doubtful.
