German press: Putin avoids sensitive issues regarding Germany in an article on World War II

Discussing the reasons for the outbreak of World War II, Putin for some reason avoids sensitive issues that may be unpleasant for the inhabitants of Germany. Perhaps the fact is that today a strong partnership has developed between Moscow and Berlin. Ulrich Hayden discusses this topic in his article published in the German edition of Heise, analyzing an article by Vladimir Putin on the causes of the outbreak of World War II.

He believes that the Russian president in this way shows political tact, trying not to hurt the feelings of his German partners.

In the article, Putin denies that Hitler and Stalin collaborated. Moreover, he does not consider the head of the Soviet state infallible and severely criticizes him for domestic politics. At the same time, Putin notes that Stalin perfectly understood foreign policy risks and correctly minimized them.

Putin considers the Versailles Peace one of the main reasons for the outbreak of World War II, as a result of which Germany found itself in a humiliated position, which led to an increase in revenge.

He mentions British and American business circles helping the Nazis, considering them one of the main reasons for the outbreak of war. At the same time, the Russian president, to the surprise of the German author, never mentioned the internal reasons that led Germany to the war. For some reason, he did not say a word about the rapid growth among the Germans of anti-Semitism, militarism, anti-Slavic sentiments and a loyal spirit, which caused the Nazis and Hitler to come to power, who unleashed the Second World War.

Based on this, Hayden concludes that Putin deliberately avoids those that might seem unpleasant to German partners. Indeed, Russia has recently developed excellent business relations with them.

It's hard to disagree! Is that gene memory? Why our bureaucrats and thieves-oligarchs, meanly plundered the legacy of the Union, do not understand one simple thing - this will not always be! The people will not endure forever, the 1917th proved it and will prove it again, but only when we wake up.

You’ve been so hurt by the opinion of some Ulrich H. from Germany there that you are ready to immediately extrapolate his opinion to the Russian population.
It is the usual private opinion of an ordinary journalist who believes that if in Putin's article some issue is not covered too strongly, then this has some deep connotation. "Thoughtful" conclusion.

[businessv]

Quote: credo

if Putin’s article doesn’t cover the issue too much, then this has some deep implication.

You are trying to deny the obvious! Of course, there are questions that are "not too highlighted", to put it mildly, and this is absolutely correct! Why stir up the memory of partners with things that they regret without this reminder ?! It seems to you that this is the opinion of "some Ulrich ...," but this is the opinion of one that can shape the opinion of many. Living and working in Germany, I was surprised by the knowledge of the local people about the history of their compatriots living in our territory. The German Republic with its capital in Engels (existed until 1942) is known not only to the outgoing generation, but also to young people who still call it Volga Germany (Wolgadeutschland), and know who its founder (Catherine II) is. So everything is not as simple as it sometimes seems.

The main thing is the "northern streams", and our people, the memory of that war - everything is secondary. Unhappy Germans, tyrant Stalin and Stalinist repressions.

The stump is clear, where should they go? Request cancellation of the decisions of the MVT?
Another thing is that they are gradually getting rid of the guilt complex, yes. And even timidly, but more and more loudly, they are trying to call the bombing of the Allies a war crime. Which is essentially true.

Yes, everything is clear with the Germans. The whole message of Putin was to those who have gone to the brink, former allies and especially to the "new democracies" who have lost their shores in general, and who, moreover, all as one, during the war, fought on Hitler's side. and conversation.

[Tusv]

Give a damn. And if Putin did not go around hot topics? You can’t work with Europe. Do you need this?

[Pereira]

The USSR fought not with Hitler Germany, but with the united Hitler Europe (minus England). This is what Putin did not say.

[Dr. Frankenstucker]

Putin, I believe, had no intention of banging his boot, making angry accusations, and doing Fulton the other way around. Maybe the Germans saw the signal if it was and this journalist was right.

[Normal ok]

Quote: Dr. Frankenstucker

Maybe the Germans saw the signal, if it was right and this journalist was right.

The authors of such articles are carefully looking for anything in the foreign press that can be added to the GDP. But the fact is that the general opinion about the Putin article, and that of Germany, is negative. So, it is more correct to replace "Germans" in comments with "German".

[Dr. Frankenstucker]

You are probably right.

[demo]

Discussing the reasons for the outbreak of World War II, Putin for some reason avoids sensitive issues that may be unpleasant for the inhabitants of Germany.

I don’t get it?
The Germans that became 100% sadomasochists?
They want everyone to call in their own words?
And they poured not only salt, but also pepper on the wounds?

But you can.
Of course not Putin.
But there are others.

[carstorm 11]

not masochists. they’re just being raised like that. remember that war and understand what they did. I would not say a word to repent. just accept what their country has done. and not deny this fact. There is certainly already modern youth who are beginning to forget, or someone is teaching them from the outside. I do not know. but for now, most of them are holding back and trying to keep within.

[Pereira]

I suppose the Germans should know who incited and incited them.

[carstorm 11]

this is from another opera. this is harder. but I completely agree with you.

Here is the Mausoleum covered with plywood in the days of "national unity" on Red Square - is this a cover-up or not a reminder?

[Dr. Frankenstucker]

Quote: demo

Think at your leisure.

to be honest, I'm not going to waste time on this, no doubt, fascinating brain training - "what did the authorities want to say when they draped the mausoleum?" Let the hamsters take these signals from the authorities like "trembling of my left calf is a great sign." I have no time.

[demo]

Received. Appreciated.

[Vladimir Mashkov]

I also do not like that Putin closes the Mausoleum with plywood on holidays. But I, in contrast to the "francophone", thought about it. It is clear that Putin, despite the opinion of the majority of Russians, has a different opinion on this issue and there is no reason to think that he will change it, even if he did not change himself on the 75th anniversary of Victory. Why is he doing this? It is difficult to say, he does not give a clear unambiguous answer (in any case, I did not hear it; perhaps I missed it). On the one hand, he recognizes some of the undoubted merits of the USSR and the Soviet state. On the other hand, he condemns certain moments of Soviet history and Soviet leaders. But he clearly refuses to accept the parades beloved by the people from the rostrum of the Mausoleum and collect their power there! Thus, emphasizing the difference between the current government and the Soviet. And, perhaps, the reason is that all the guests from HIS government rostrum will not fit and comfortably sit on the rostrum. Perhaps he does not want to rise above everyone else as the leaders of the USSR. And, perhaps, the reason is that he does not consider himself equal to the leaders of the Soviet state and, therefore, is located at the foot of the Mausoleum, closer to the people ... However, the latter is more likely from the field of conspiracy theories.

One thing is clear: the majority of the people support it, having a different opinion on this issue and a number of others. Why? Probably there is WHAT! Weighing the pros and cons, people opt for!

And against Putin only you - left and right radicals, and the "fifth column" - agents of the West and the West itself. You are all working together! Fortunately, you are in the minority.

[Pravodel]

Surprisingly the very surprise of the German Ulrich Hayden. Putin chewed everything and put it on shelves, and not only on shelves, but also on sticks, by putting the appropriate marker, a comment in the right place. He said that the reason for the 2nd World War was the incompleteness of the 1st World War, the humiliation and robbery of Germany, in the Treaty of Versailles. The state of German society was not considered at all and is not being considered, because it is a derivative of the Treaty of Versailles. The rise of anti-Semitism, militarism, anti-Slovenism is all a consequence, not a cause. The reason is the humiliation and robbery of Germany, in the Treaty of Versailles because the Anglo-Saxons and the French wanted to turn Germany into one of their colonies. In total, it turned out what happened.

[Tusv]

Quote: The Truth

He said the reason for the 2nd World War

He didn’t say it was colonial. These "partners" of ours fought for their colonies. "Gentlemen, you beasts" - a phrase from one of the best films

[prior]

Politics for the sake of "dough" is politics.

[Kurare]

For some reason, he did not say a word about the rapid growth among the Germans of anti-Semitism, militarism, anti-Slavic sentiments and a loyal spirit, which led to the Nazis and Hitler coming to power ..

And here Mr. Hayden is wrong. The primary reason was still the so-called. The Versailles "Peace Treaty", which led to the ruin of the already defeated Germany in WWI. Famine began in Germany, but the government regularly paid reparations. This is what became the primary reason for the coming to power of the Nazis, who professed a misanthropic ideology.

[Kuzmitsky]

In the USSR, hunger was stronger than in Germany, and more than once. But no change of power happened and no fascists came to power. By the way, Italy did not pay reparations to anyone, and there was no famine there, if I am not mistaken, and the Nazis came to power even earlier than in Germany.

Germany suffered most not even from ruin, although it was, but from a ban on creating a strong and technically equipped army. Then, however, they helped circumvent this ban.

And the Germans suffered from the fact that they seem to be a great nation, and others rule the world. Naturally, they supported Hitler.

By the way, today the Germans do not deny their guilt for the outbreak of World War II. Moreover, they call themselves the only ones. who unleashed her.

[rocket757]

If the GDP of such advisers, advised, then this is the complete g g about.
Indeed, few people love, especially about their sins, but they are forced to reckon with it, unlike ... its ignorant silence.

Moreover, they call themselves the only ones. who unleashed her.

We should tell them about the role of the Anglo-Saxons.

[Kurare]

Quote: Kuzmitsky

In the USSR, hunger was stronger than in Germany, and more than once.

Let's not compare two different situations.

Quote: Kuzmitsky

By the way, Italy didn’t pay reparations to anyone ..

And where does Italy? Is it really on the side of Austria-Hungary and Germany in the WWI fought? And the Nazis came there for a completely different reason.

Quote: Kuzmitsky

Germany suffered most not even from ruin, although it was, but from a ban on creating a strong and technically equipped army.

Nothing like this. After losing in WWII, there were certainly revanchist sentiments, but in Germany it was understood that the war was lost.

Quote: Kuzmitsky

And the Germans suffered from the fact that they seem to be a great nation, and others rule the world.

Here - I agree. And the National Socialists played on this very skillfully. Even the name of the party "captivates".

Quote: Kuzmitsky

By the way, today the Germans do not deny their guilt for the outbreak of World War II. Moreover, they call themselves the only ones. who unleashed her.

Yes, this is really the opinion of the majority. But, the new generation is already starting to think differently. And the reason for this is the "new vision" of the causes of WWII in the West, in fact, rewriting history.

[parusnik]

Hunger was stronger in the USSR than in Germany

.... Especially post-war, if you recall how many people were killed by the Germans, how many villages, villages, villages destroyed, I’m not talking about the cities, how many people were driven to Germany, how many millions of cattle, IDCs were taken to Germany .. the USSR is to blame. .. Germany attacked him ...

[Kuzmitsky]

There was also a post-war famine, father told me, he found it. I don’t even want to get into this discussion, it was not easy there. But here we are talking about 20-30 years. Neither after the 21st year, nor after the 33rd change of government did not happen. I will not argue, but I think that in Germany it was then even easier. Not because of the famine there, the Nazis came to power, that's what it is about.

[voyaka uh]

The Treaty of Versailles influenced from 1918 to 1924. Then the rise began.
The years from 1924 to 1929 were called the "Golden Twenties" in Germany. It was a period of rapid economic growth. In 1929, the Great Depression began in the United States. America stopped investing money in Germany, which caused an economic recession and an increase in unemployment.

[Pereira]

The problem is not investment. The problem is solvent demand.
The German economy is too powerful to fit within Germany alone. Since the mid-19th century, it was in dire need of markets. The Nazis, of course, are animals. But overall the motive is simple. Either you conquer your neighbors, or close yourself within national borders and slide into subsistence farming, as it was in the USSR just in the 20s before the start of industrialization.
And on equal terms, it was Nazism, and not ideology, as was customary to say, that it was mutually beneficial to cooperate with the USSR.

[Kurare]

Quote: voyaka uh

The years from 1924 to 1929 were called the "Golden Twenties" in Germany.

"Golden Twenties", i.e. the period of the Weimer Republic is a period of rapid development of culture and art. Yes, the economy has begun to pick up and recover. And yes, the "great depression" killed this growth. In addition to this, there remained pressure from reparation payments, which significantly exacerbated the situation. The National Socialists played on this.

[Dr. Frankenstucker]

Quote: Kurare

The primary reason was still the so-called. The Versailles "Peace Treaty", which led to the ruin of the already defeated Germany in WWI. Hunger began in Germany,

Yes, but it has nothing to do with hunger - the famous "25 points" were announced in January 1920.

[Plastmaster]

Well, judging by this article from the article by Ulrich Hayden, everything is correct. You can explain by point. And everything is beautiful. And if Ulrich is not satisfied, then let him be published in the Air Force, well, or in the Times, whatever.

To the delight of some .. It’s time to change all that .. Here Merkel’s old woman will retire, something can happen
Good article plus her ..

[APASUS]

Maybe Putin did not have a task to bring Europe to a shudder. Indeed, Hitler did not build his Reich from scratch, but with the tacit indulgence of the West. It was with the hands of the bankers of England and the USA that there was a breakthrough in the military industry and tacit consent for adventurous politics only when bankers released the reins from their own hands, it became clear who they had grown.
Although history goes in a spiral and we see who they are trying to grow in Ukraine. Putin did not draw parallels with modern politics, said nothing, but in vain!

Well that's right, Hitler did not start the war with the USSR, but at first he conquered and subjugated the whole of Europe. So let them think about themselves why WWII began in 1939, and what are its causes, and WWII in 1941. And let them not forget why the Germans pulled out the Compiegne trailer from the museum.

Yes, everything has already been thought out and all conclusions have been made, the file 'World War II' has been archived. The Europeans pull it out with annoyance only because of the stupid activity of annoying members of the European quasi-brotherhood - either the Greeks, the Poles, or someone smaller - democracy and corporatism, God forbid showing signs of authoritarianism, ahah ... The world is not Yalta for a long time, There is no USSR, the technological order has changed, the poles of power have shifted (not in our, unfortunately, side), we are watching the war of economies from the gallery, but for any challenge - all with one argument, 'but natsYzm won 75 (80-85-90 and etc.) years ago ???

(the rifle could fall into the hands of the partisans) he did not understand why people from the SS were in his unit because they did not take part directly in the battle. then he saw - if they went into a village or a city, people from the SS began to work with the population. then he was thrown to Libya where the British shot him right through after he surrendered to them

Pot calls the kettle black..

[Viktor Sergeev]

All internal problems are only the consequences of the Treaty of Versailles and the search for the enemy both domestically and abroad. People are weak and, with appropriate treatment, are able to change their opinions to the opposite. Hitler caught the chip, was a good speaker and understood the masses. But with all its eloquence, without external support, Germany could not rise much, having scanty resources and a devastated country.

[demo]

It is clear that Putin, despite the opinion of the majority of Russians, has a different opinion on this issue.

The president of the country, elected by popular vote, cannot have an opinion different from the majority, as he personifies this majority.
If the president’s opinion is very or radically different from that of the majority, then he is not a minority president.
Or there is an option that at the stage of election promises one thing was declared, but in fact another.
Both that, and another in our society are not acceptable.

On the one hand, he recognizes some of the undoubted merits of the USSR and the Soviet state. On the other hand, he condemns some aspects of Soviet history and Soviet leaders.

There is also a logical dead end.
The king is good, boyars are villains?
It happens?
No.
If you recognize the merits of the state, the merits of the people, then you should automatically place at the forefront the ideological foundation that dominated society.
And the conductors of such an ideology were precisely the Soviet leaders.
The people and the party are one - this is not an unfounded statement.
The party at the bottom, and the party at the top are different party members.
But it was the party that determined the strategic goals and ensured their implementation.
Unlike our president.
Which defines goals and objectives, and the government constantly ignores them.
This is the main difference between Putin and the Soviet leaders.

My father, a fairly large leader, for a number of objective reasons did not fulfill the plan once.
And not just half.
Implementation of the plan was 87%.
As a result: a strict reprimand with entry in the card, deprivation of bonuses, analysis at the Bureau of Personal Affairs.
Then a micro heart attack.
Then the plan was overfulfilled.

That's how the Soviet leaders asked their subordinates.
Not a couple of current contingencies.

And against Putin only you - left and right radicals, and the "fifth column" - agents of the West and the West itself. You are all working together! Fortunately, you are in the minority.

Well, hello.
Only here, among Russians, they start for health, but end for peace, in one toast.
If it seems to me: that a person does not correspond to either the historical moment or the position held, has failed the personnel policy, spread total corruption, makes promises on the most important problems (changing the retirement age and changing the Constitution) and violates them himself, then why are the announced shortcomings one person, become decisive when hanging the label "left and right radicals, but the" fifth column "- agents of the West and the West itself"?
Where is the logic?
Did you understand what you answered?

Okay.
When there are not enough arguments based on facts and harmonious logic, clichés are usually used.

I would say that you have a strange approach - to choose from the text only what you like and draw false conclusions, and not evaluate the text in a complex - if you didn’t know exactly what is your (your and your same-thinking) common practice - double standarts.

ALL leaders are people. And they have their own opinion, on SOME issues different from the majority. Try to honestly answer the question: WHY does the majority of Russians, despite your hysterics "everything is gone!", Still choose Putin?

As for you and your fellow thinkers, then you, in this case, act as Vlasovites: they also claimed that they, JOINTLY with the then representative of the West, FOR Russia, but AGAINST its then leader. All your talk about special individual actions is in favor of the poor. Try to convincingly refute this by answering this question.

And I would very much like to hear your opinion WHY your leader, who is eight years older than Putin, accuses him of old age and requires leaving, but for some reason he’s not going to leave anywhere!

Try to convincingly answer with convincing arguments, based on reliable facts and harmonious logic WITHOUT the use of clichés and demagogy!

PS Decent honest people answer by pressing the "Reply" button, and not hiding their "arguments" somewhere.

[demo]

I'll start from the end.
I have not yet been accused of dishonesty.
I answered you, but my answer was at the end of the answers of those who managed to answer earlier.
Remove claims. OK!?

Let's go in order.
"I would say that you have a strange approach - to choose from the text only what you like and draw false conclusions, and not evaluate the text as a whole, - if I did not know for sure that this is your (you and your fellow thinkers) common practice - double standarts"
I choose not only what I like, but also what I don't like.
Usually, I emphasize, many of those who write here have common reasoning, which try to concretize with one or two phrases.
And this is the main point.
You focus on this.
And around this phrase, as if from a stove, you build an answer.
Do you read books?
After reading the book, if you ask what it is about, then you retell the whole book by heart?
Or try to convey the key points of the book or in your own words, or quote verbatim.
But at the end of your monologue, you will try to express your opinion (negative / positive / neutral), if it has developed.
If this happens in a different order for you, then you are a rare individual.
"ALL leaders are people. And they have their own opinion, on SOME issues different from the majority. Try to honestly answer the question: WHY does the majority of Russians, despite your hysterics" everything is gone! ", Still choose Putin?"
It somehow never occurred to me to humanize leaders or vice versa.
Of course, leaders are people.
The same as you and me.
With its own set of strong and weak human qualities.
Only the presence of certain qualities with you or me does not affect the lives of millions of fellow citizens, their well-being, longevity, and much more.
If a leader has a different opinion from the majority of citizens on a fundamental issue, it seems to me that he should reconsider his point of view.
One cannot keep up, and the whole company does not keep up.
If he believes that everyone is mistaken, then he should not impose his will on the majority, but rather calmly lay down his powers and state:
"Since most respected fellow citizens do not support the increase in the retirement age, and I consider this measure necessary, albeit forced, I ask you to dismiss me of my own free will."
PARAGRAPH!
(I wanted to write differently, but admins prohibit the use of non-normative vocabulary).
In a democratic society, there can be no disregard for the opinion of the electing majority.
Then, according to the logic of things, the electing majority is an occasionally needed herd that can be enticed by empty promises before the election.
By the logic of things of the same Leader!
To my regret, I do not belong to any party, faction or group of like-minded people.
I am too selfish and do not succumb to any group requirements. With discipline, I do not really.
If I think so, but not otherwise, I reasonably prove my innocence.
Not in the ranks of like-minded people, but individually.
By age I no longer really want to be in the ranks of like-minded people.
I’m afraid that we will not meet the weight indicators with the current young shoots.
Behind my shoulders is life in the Union until a fairly mature age.
Behind my shoulders is work in numerous teams in completely different climatic and geographical regions.
I have a prevailing worldview formed at a time when Marxist-Leninist philosophy was the most important subject of a university.
Unfortunately, I am forced to interrupt due to limitations on the number of words.

[demo]

Continue.
"And I would very much like to hear your opinion WHY your leader, who is eight years older than Putin, accuses him of old age and requires leaving, but for some reason, he is not going to go anywhere!"
I do not understand at all which "your leader", especially of this age, are you talking about?
Maybe you confused me with someone?
I did not have and do not have a leader.
I am my own leader.
So I can’t even answer what I don’t even suspect.

I will end this way.
In order to understand the need for a change in the leadership of the state, it is necessary to prepare and publish a sufficiently lengthy article.
Which administrators will not publish.
Reason - only articles of the author's team (VO) are published.
I do not enter the authors' team of VO and did not plan to enter there.
Point.
So your requirements will be left unsatisfied.

[Vladimir Mashkov]

As I expected, you have NOT answered any question. Abundant demagoguery from start to finish! They did not say anything about the "new Vlasovites", they pretended not to understand about Zyuganov ...

Only the "choosing majority", this is the "herd" (YOUR definitions) - but, in fact - the REASONABLE MOST of the people of Russia - still does not choose you, the "smart", "good" and "honest" "defenders of Russians and Russia" , but the "bad" Putin, "out of step with YOUR company"! Doesn't it seem strange?

I see that further communication is useless due to your unwillingness to communicate honestly. Continue your useless "fruitful" activity!

PS I am not at all surprised that your fellow thinkers use such "convincing" "arguments, facts and coherent logic" as silent dislikes against me. It's been a week now. And, usually, WITHOUT any arguments!

[demo]

Do you have paranoia?
What are the "one-thinkers"?

PS I am not at all surprised that your fellow thinkers use such "convincing" "arguments, facts and coherent logic" as silent dislikes against me. It's been a week now. And, usually, WITHOUT any arguments!

Ugh you, well you, sticks are bent!
This is what I am guilty of?
The fact that someone sculpts your cons?
Aren't you a hangover?
I read your comments and respond.
I always prefer to communicate with a person than silently, with a fig in my pocket, put a minus.
From my minus you will not become my soul mate?
If I did this, I would not discuss it with you.

Everything, everything, everything.
Take it easy.
Drink some water.
I won’t provoke you to debate anymore.
All the best, colleague.

I am old! And I never saw history and politics!

You said correctly, this does not mean yours.

I will add that history and politics have the properties to change - to sell (there are many examples).
Only descendants through the ages can be we judge !!!
