Geopolitics are more exciting than chess
Revolutions, wars, conflicts and crises - all these are only the fruits of a geopolitical game that has been played on the world stage since time immemorial. Russia has been actively “playing” for just over 300 years. Since the time of Peter the Great. Nothing has changed during this time. The same geopolitics, the same rivals, having the same goals as three centuries ago.
We spoke about this with the journalists of the Latvian magazine Patron.
The first part of the interview dealt with the opposition of the Russian and Anglo-Saxon civilization. About who feeds and raises "our" revolutionaries for centuries.
(The text of the interview from the February magazine came to me just the other day! I publish it immediately upon receipt).
“The current color revolutions in the East are not a scenario invented today. He is run in by the author, the British Empire, at least a century. In order to dominate the planet, she conducted countless coups, many revolutions (including the year’s 1917 in Russia), launched two world wars and is now preparing a third one. The well-known Russian publicist Nikolai Starikov is convinced of this, whose books on stories read in one breath. An economist by training, he considers any fact from the point of view - “who pays for it? who benefits? ” And - at once the inconsistency of the official versions included in the textbooks is obvious, and in the events that happened at different times and in different parts of the planet, one conductor is guessed. “The USA is the body and the brain is Britain. She is the force that rules the world to this day. ”
Accepts more English
- If you remember offhand with whom the Russians have always fought, the Swedes, the French, the Turks, the Germans immediately come to mind. And in your books you prove that Britain has always been the first enemy of Russia. How to explain this inconsistency, Nikolai Viktorovich?
- The favorite policy of Britain is not to fight face to face, but to stand behind someone else’s back and set off states. What she did well for centuries. If you do not take this into account, many facts in history do not understand. Take the Nishtad Peace Treaty of the Year. If we read it, we will be very surprised. Imagine: Russia fought with Sweden for almost 1721 years and won. But then, for some reason, she paid off the money to Sweden - in fact, she bought the lands that she won weapons. What is the historical incident? And the reason is simple: behind the back of weakened Sweden, on the territory of which our army was already landing, there was a powerful power - Great Britain. She by all means prevented Russia's access to the sea. When the Swedes failed to hold Russia with their hands, British diplomats began to put pressure on Peter I in order to end the conflict in a more advantageous way for Sweden and less advantageous for Russia. And the charter to fight with Sweden, realizing that in the case of intransigence, a war with Great Britain threatens, Peter concluded the Nishtadt peace in such a strange way, when the winner pays for the victory.
Take any opponent of the Russians, look behind him - and you will certainly find British intelligence there. The Anglo-Saxon civilization always played great combinations on the world political arena and only in extreme cases took a personal part in wars, preferring to rake in the heat with someone else's hands.
- How long has it started - the opposition of the Anglo-Saxon and Russian civilizations?
- The whole history of mankind is an attempt by one civilization to dominate all the resources on the planet: natural, human. In this sense, the modern world and the one that was thousands of years ago are no different. Open clashes between the Anglo-Saxon and Russian civilizations began after the end of the Napoleonic wars, when Russia became the most powerful European power. But even before that, Britain did everything to keep out of land Russia to the sea. That is why she always supported Turkey, Persia (Iran) in the wars with the Russians. After Russia established itself on the Black Sea, the UK set the following task - not to let the Russians go to the Mediterranean. After all, the Black Sea is, one can say, an internal lake. And access to the ocean expanses goes through the winding straits of the Dardanelles. And the Bosphorus, on which stands Constantinople. The Russian Empire was not able to solve this task precisely because of the powerful financial, diplomatic and military support that Britain provided to our opponents. In the Turkish and Persian armies were British military advisers.
In order for the modern reader to better understand the situation, let us recall the USSR and the USA. Was there a standoff between them? It was. Direct military clashes were? Were not. However, when the Americans were in Vietnam, the Soviet Union fought with the Americans by the hands of the Vietnamese partisans. When the Soviet army was in Afghanistan, the United States fought with the Soviet Union with the hands of the Afghan Mujahideen. The same applies to regional conflicts in Latin America and Africa. These are not individual freedom fighters who fought against governments supported by either Moscow or Washington. No, it was a war between the USA and the USSR. As previously, the British Empire and the Russian Empire fought among themselves. Nothing new. What we saw in the 20 century was in both 19 and 18 centuries.
- What are we so different: the Anglo-Saxons and the Slavs? What is the principal reason for the rejection of each other?
- I would not reduce Russian civilization only to the Slavic world. The uniqueness of the Russian civilization lies in the fact that it was founded by the Russian people, but as the country expanded, it included other peoples, many of which do not have Slavic roots. That did not stop everyone from getting along well with each other. None of these peoples lost their national identity. Many precisely within the Russian Empire or precisely within the USSR acquired the national intelligentsia, their writing, their writers, poets, thinkers. This is the fundamental difference between Russian civilization and Anglo-Saxon, which, wherever it appears, destroys the national characteristics of the indigenous population, and often destroys the indigenous population itself. What happened to the Indians in America. America is a very telling example, because it was not only the English who colonized it. First the Spaniards founded the colonies there, then the Portuguese, then the French, and only then the British. What do we see? Where the French were - modern Canada, the Indians there are well preserved, most of the geographical names - Indian. Where were the Portuguese and the Spaniards, the indigenous population was not exterminated at all, they all mixed up, they got married - and a new ethnos was formed, which was later joined by black slaves. Another thing - the territory in which the Anglo-Saxons commanded. There, the Indians were subject to total extermination, there the whites and blacks were not mixed at all. This fundamental difference of the Anglo-Saxon civilization is not to absorb another's culture, but to destroy it. So it was in India, so it was everywhere. And so it continues today: Anglo-Saxon culture, which dominates in the West, is trying to erase other people's national characteristics, exporting itself and its values to new territories.
Urgently required rioters
- None of the historians still can not clearly explain why the mighty Russian Empire collapsed overnight. Why does a handful of Bolsheviks, who have been living abroad for years in oblivion, suddenly take power and, hated by all, hold it? Your version is very unexpected: the 1917 revolution of the year is a brilliant operation of British intelligence. Tell me, why should the British make a revolution in Russia?
- It is impossible in the interview to retell the arguments to which I dedicated two thick books. But let's extrapolate this situation today - and get the main mystery. Let's imagine that Boris Berezovsky arrived in Moscow and right at the station made a call for the overthrow of the existing system. What do you think, how much time he would have stood on an armored car, apron, car, or anywhere else? I think seconds. Or, if the head of al-Qaeda came to Washington and called right to the White House for a holy war against the infidels, how long would he have lingered there? Moments. We see an amazing situation when Lenin and a whole group of revolutionaries drove through the territory of Germany, with which Russia at that moment officially fought. We arrived at the St. Petersburg station, and no one arrested them. Moreover, they were greeted by an orchestra and flowers. And on the spot, Lenin called for a new revolution, that is, for the overthrow of power. And in the conditions of world war. What does this mean?
The fact that the then Russian government was the Provisional Government for some reason decided not to oppose those who opposed it, the state itself and called for a new phase of the revolution. Why does the government have such blindness during the war? After all, in order for the picture to be complete, let's imagine that Boris Berezovsky did not come to a calm, well-fed modern Moscow, but arrived in Moscow on September 41 of the year and urged that the advancing German troops surrender it, because “the bloody Stalinist regime cannot cope with the defense of the Russian people. " Then the analogy is complete. What should have been done with such a person? Arrest, judge by martial law and shoot very quickly. But no! Nobody prevented Lenin from conducting propaganda, the Bolsheviks released their newspaper in huge print runs, began to decompose the army.
- But the fact that Lenin and a group of comrades freely passed through the territory of Germany isn’t it an argument that the Bolsheviks are a German project? Created to end the war against the Germans.
- Well, let's imagine the situation from the German side. You are the head of the German General Staff. A certain revolutionary comes to you, say, Parvus, and proposes a brilliant idea: we take revolutionaries, put them on the train, give them a lot of money and send them by train to Russia to change power. Again, the analogy with September 41. A train with Trotskyists, White Guards, emigrants, monarchists to Moscow 1941 would have arrived. What does it matter how much money they have! The station would be cordoned off; all gentlemen, monarchists and the comrades of the Trotskyists, would be arrested and very quickly eliminated. Directing Lenin and the group into the warring Russia was on the part of the Germans a sheer gamble - a notorious failure. No, Lenin's passage was patronized by someone else. Who! There is a fact that historians do not like to talk about, because it spoils the whole picture for them. Lenin and his companions did not travel by rail all the time. They traveled from Switzerland through Germany to the port of Sassnitz, where they boarded a ferry and sailed to Sweden. In Sweden, they traveled by train to Stockholm, where they came to the Russian embassy and received money from the Provisional Government and tickets for further travel.
- That is, as? The interim government itself paid the fare to those who came to overthrow him ?!
- Exactly. And after Lenin's, in a month, two more “sealed” trains arrived in Russia, filled with revolutionaries of all stripes. In total - about three hundred people. And again, the authorities "do not notice." Also, Leon Trotsky and his colleagues are sent home from the USA. In Canada, he was removed from the steamer and arrested by the British authorities, but then very quickly released. Why? Because it asked about it ... The Provisional Government, which Lev Davydovich went to overthrow!
Why would the Provisional Government dig its own grave? Only a puppet power can do this, executing the orders of the master. If the Provisional Government helps Lenin, then it is a question of one project with one owner. Who is this Germany? At first glance, it seems that - yes, because Lenin comes out with the slogan to end the war, and this is beneficial to the Germans. However, the puppet Provisional Government, on the contrary, declares its determination to wage war to the bitter end. This means that the owner is different and more difficult. Its goal is not to stop the war between Russia and Germany. Its goal is to destroy Russia itself in a revolutionary way. And then in the same way destroy Germany.
Let's see what the Provisional Government is doing, barely taking power. Releases all prisoners from prisons, abolishes the police, eliminates counterintelligence and gendarmerie, announces freedom of political propaganda among the troops, abolishes the entire administration: governors and vice-governors. That is accurately and quickly ruining the country. Who can afford to order this? And, most importantly, who can afford to pay such a large-scale order? Germany, which has already been exsanguinated, is practically broken and dreams of one thing - to jump out of this war as soon as possible in order to start licking your wounds ?!
No, only England can afford such an order. It was she, and not at all Germany over the past two hundred years has been Russia's main geopolitical rival. At first, Britain’s subversive role was in diplomatic intrigues and wiles. Then the methods of struggle changed. And British intelligence began to create the Russian revolutionary underground.
The truth about carrot tea
- Have you ever wondered what money the Russian revolutionaries lived in emigration? Lenin, Krasin, Zinoviev, Bukharin, Trotsky and so on? All this fraternity never worked and did not produce anything. However, she lived in the most expensive cities of Europe, eating, drinking, dressing in something. And so for years! There were hundreds of these revolutionaries, but none of them died of hunger, and in their memoirs there are no sentimental stories about life under the Parisian bridges and Brussels fences. So, money came from somewhere.
Read Lenin's letters, where he writes that her sister, Maria Ilyinichna, would be nice if she came to him - “we would then ride together to Italy ... I would be in Brussels for three days, and then I would come back here and think to roll to Italy. Why should not Mitya (talking about his brother, Dmitriy Ilyich) come here? He must rest too ... I now hope to earn a lot. ” Very curious: where did the future leader of the world proletariat expect to earn? He had only two legal ways: transferring other people's books and writing his own. His most famous work, written in exile before the First World War, is “Materialism and Empirio-Criticism”. Already from the title it is clear that such a book can not become a bestseller with millions of copies. The golden rain could not fall and when Ilyich translated works of Engels or Kautsky from German into Russian.
However, his habits are the lifestyle of a rich person. After all, the whole of Europe has traversed Vladimir Ilyich! And this epic continued with short interruptions from 1900 to 1917! He traveled not alone, but with his wife and mother-in-law - they lived together. Going to the boarding house to rest, they grabbed the sister of Ilyich. Housing was rented good: let's say, in Paris, it was a four-room apartment with water and gas, which is rare for the beginning of the 20th century.
And in European capitals, Lenin did not live alone. Take at random several revolutionary biographies — the Mensheviks, Bolsheviks, or Social Revolutionaries. Everywhere we will see the same picture: fighters for people's happiness freely eat Western European bread for unknown money. And yet there are congresses and conferences! For example, the Second Congress of the RSDLP opened in Brussels, and had to finish it in London, as the Belgian police became interested in what was happening. All delegates took and moved to the British capital: more than 40 people. Where are the nowhere working Democrats funds for group travels in Europe? How much money did they rent a room for the congress? Who paid them hotels and issued a travel allowance for meals?
- Answer of biographers: there were membership fees, there were donations from millionaires, like Savva Morozov.
- As for membership fees - in the extremist parties of that time consisted of a maximum of several thousand people. These contributions do not pay for many years of living abroad heaps of idlers. As for donations, their magnitude is insanely bloated. As the state of Savva Morozov. Here are the words of Gorky: “Someone wrote in the newspapers that Savva Morozov was spending millions on the revolution — naturally, this is exaggerated to the size of a camel. Millions personally Sawa was not, his annual income - in his words - did not reach one hundred thousand. He gave on the publication of Iskra, it seems, twenty-four thousand a year. ”
- And eksy? Robbery of banks for the sake of the high ideals of the revolution?
- A wave of expropriation swept over Russia only at the end of the first revolution and took place over two and a half years. But Lenin abroad lived on short visits from 1895 to 1917 g ... Plekhanov generally spent 37 years abroad, his two daughters could hardly speak Russian. But there is another mystery to you: the Mensheviks of the banks were not robbed, they did not receive money from the экxyсов, but they lived in the neighborhood of the Bolsheviks in European capitals just as well. The standard of living of the revolutionary emigrants did not depend on their party affiliation.
No, there is no way to explain the free life of Russian revolutionaries. If you do not keep in mind the struggle of the powers on the world stage. The conclusion is simple: the source of funding for the Russian revolutionaries was the special services of the countries competing with Russia. Or one such country. That is why the version about “naive democrats who accidentally disorganized the country”, about the “tragic errors” and “fatal mistakes” of the Provisional Government is untenable. The destruction of the Russian Empire in 1917 was the most ambitious British intelligence operation in its history. If all the mysterious events taking place then are viewed at such an angle, the fog dissipates. Immediately find the explanation and strange connivance of the Bolsheviks from Kerensky, and the lack of Anglo-French assistance to the white fighters for the restoration of the country during the Civil War. Everything mysterious turns logical and understandable.
And among this mysterious - the story of the gold mines "Lena Goldfields" and the purchase of Swedish locomotives.
Their engine is flying forward
“Lena Goldfields” is a British company that in Tsarist Russia owned a controlling stake in gold mines that mined a third of all Russian gold. The workers were paid a penny, although mining was carried out in permafrost conditions, and the working day lasted 16 hours. As a result, it came to a riot, which the tsarist authorities calmed down with weapons - the notoriously famous Lensky shooting. The blood of the Russian workers shed a shameful stain on the tsar. But foreign shareholders remained, however, with it.
1917 comes the year. The revolution sweeps away the capitalists. The Bolsheviks nationalize all the country's enterprises, including the gold mines on the Lena River. However, in 1925, the Soviet government unexpectedly re-entrusted the concession to develop the Lena mines to the Lena Goldfields company. For a period of thirty years. The contract is forced through Trotsky, the conditions are fantastic. Lena Goldfils has the right not only to wash gold from Yakutia to the Ural range, but also to extract silver, copper, iron. To this end, a British company is given a complex of Russian mining and metallurgical enterprises. The share of people's power in the mined precious metal is 7%, the share of Lena is 93%. Question: Why did the Soviet authorities sign such a draconian agreement? Why did they destitute their native state?
But here's another absurd contract: the purchase of steam locomotives in Sweden at the Nidquist and Holm factory by the Leninist government. The order quantity is one thousand locomotives. The price is 200 million gold rubles. This is twice as much as necessary. But the main thing: it is not clear why such an order should be placed abroad. And even more so in Sweden, which was by no means the leader of steam locomotive building! The company did not have enough power; it never built more than 40 locomotives per year. But in Russia itself there was the famous Putilov factory, which produced locomotives 250 a year. However, they did not give the order to their native Russian workers - they gave it to the Swedes. But at the same time the Soviet government gave them an interest-free loan so that the Swedes build a factory to fulfill the order. This amazing situation was outraged in the Russian economist magazine 1922. And - signed a sentence. Lenin ordered the Dzerzhinsky magazine to cover up: counterrevolutionaries and accomplices of the Entente gathered there.
- But what is the reason for such generosity to foreigners?
- Well, think for yourself: you can’t send a transfer to the British and write “a refund of funds spent on the Russian revolution” in the payment system. They paid with such orders, through neutral countries, such as Sweden. 200 million gold rubles is a quarter of the country's gold reserves. So the British could be pleased: the rival's empire was destroyed, and the spent was returned. And earned.
True, the renaissance of Lena Goldfields did not last as long as it was intended. In 1929, the Chekists conducted a series of searches and denied the British concessions. Why? Trotsky was expelled from the USSR that same year, Lenin was long dead. The power is Stalin, who did not hang out in exile, at the time of the February Revolution was in exile in Siberia. He should not have been to the British and, with a clear conscience, returned the mines to the state.
The end of this story is certainly interesting to readers in the Baltics. Over the next decades, Lena Goldfields demanded compensation from the USSR for the loss of the concession. The litigation lasted until the 1968 year, after which the British banking circles finally decided to make peace with the USSR. Of course, not free. In the British banks since 1940, gold was kept belonging to the Baltic states that became part of the USSR. For decades, it was not transferred to Moscow under various pretexts. And in 1968, it was Baltic gold that, by mutual agreement, covered Lena’s claims.
- Dexterously! The British got the desired collapse of the Russian Empire. The Bolsheviks gained power. The Latvians, Lithuanians, and Estonians paid for this fulfillment of the wishes. That's really - the grimaces of history.
In the second part of the interview for the Latvian magazine Patron, the conversation turned to who financed the coming to power of Adolf Hitler and how the Stalinist economy was organized.
Adolf is going to hike
- The Germans should love you, Nikolai Viktorovich: filling in the gaps in the history of Russia, you clear the history of Germany. For example, until now it was believed that Hitler was nurtured and financed by German industrialists, all kinds of Kruppa there.
“Do you know what always struck me?” A lot of books have been written about World War II. It would seem that there can be no white spots here. But in fact the opposite. Historians have carefully calculated the amount tanks, guns, soldiers and planes at the warring parties. However, they did not answer the most important questions dictated by common sense. On the one hand, they amicably write that Adolf Hitler dreamed of conquering the whole world. On the other, they admit that Germany was not ready for the war that he started in September 1939. Three weeks later, the German Wehrmacht began to end air bombs, and after the defeat of France, which took only six weeks, the German army came to an end in general with all the ammunition. Excuse me, but are they so prepared to conquer the world?
Such logical inconsistencies in the subject of Hitler - the sea. Here is the well-established version that it was fostered and financially supported by the sharks of German capitalism. It is devoid of logic. Did you read the program of the Nazis? Why should breeders give money to a party that requires the nationalization of industrial trusts? participation of workers and employees in the profits of commercial enterprises? exemptions from the private property of large stores and renting them at low prices to small producers? adoption of the law on the free confiscation of land? cancellation of interest on mortgages? ban on land speculation? Would you, in the place of large German capital, finance people who demand this? It is clear that no.
- Maybe Hitler came to power without sponsors? Maybe he was supported for objective reasons? A terrible crisis is raging in the country. Remarque describes how they ran to spend their salary before lunch, because after lunch the money will be half as much. In such conditions, any populist with slogans understandable to people should win.
- I'll tell you more. Inflation was such that it exceeds the imagination of any person. For clarity: in 1913, all the wealth of the German Empire was estimated at 300 billion marks. And only ten years later, in 1923, the whole amount was equal to the American exchange rate at the exchange rate of only 7. People were not buried in coffins - it was an unprecedented luxury, but in cardboard boxes. A single egg cost the same as a 30 million eggs cost ten years ago! And at this time, a certain Ernst Ganfshtengl gives a friend Adolph a thousand dollars - a fortune! - For the purchase of a printing house and a Nazi newspaper. And who is Ganfshtengl? Half American, the son of a major dealer of antiques with a family business on 5-th Avenue in New York, graduated from Harvard, spent the entire First World War in the USA. Why did this rich esthete, who possesses a great sense of humor, become imbued with a love for a straightforward little-educated corporal? Why he took in his villa in the Bavarian Alps, introduced into secular circles? The environment of Hitler was disgusting to Ganfshtenglyu, Goebbels, he called a pig in his eyes. However, he followed Hitler on his heels and inspired, inspired, inspired. About the fact that Germany should be friends with the UK and America, about the fact that Adolf must believe in himself, and everything will work out.
During the beer putsch Hitler was sentenced to five years in prison. In prison, he wrote “Mein Kampf,” dictated to Rudolf Hess, who typed the text on a typewriter. The main idea of the book is all that Ganfshtengl whispered. England is Germany’s most important ally. Mein Kampf is a direct appeal to Great Britain: we are creating a powerful new movement among the Germans, the fascist party. We should not be afraid, we love and support the interests of the British. Just help - and we will pursue a policy pleasing the United Kingdom. In the book there is even a direct appeal: “Give us a weapon!”. And what? Hitler was heard. Mein Kampf is typing while Hitler is still seated. After that, the term is suddenly reduced to him from 5 years to 11 months. And why? In British intelligence, they read this book and realized what pro-British force is growing on German soil. It was decided to support this force, clicked on the right channels - and Hitler was released from prison.
From this point on, the future Fuhrer’s money problems are solved forever: he acquires a villa, the six-seat Mercedes-Compressor of the latest model. The costs of the Nazis are crying out of proportion to their incomes. Each attack aircraft was at the expense of the party dressed, shod and fed. Each member of the SA received a salary - at the time of total unemployment in Germany. It was this, and not the eloquence of the Fuhrer, that was the most effective means of recruiting new members of the fascist party. You wear a brown shirt and you can feed the children. Who gave all this money? Stories about good old women, like the widow of a piano factory owner, are ridiculous. Even with great stretch, it was only a third of the party budget. Who gave the rest? We will never wait for an official response, because in the last days of the Third Reich 90% of the financial documents of the Nazi Party were burned. They were destroyed in the first place - in contrast to such trifling papers as orders for mass executions and deportations, which will then form the basis of the international prosecution and lead to the gallows of generals. He burned all financial documents the permanent treasurer of the Nazi Party, Obergruppenführer SS Franz Xavier Schwartz. For which he received a “childish” term, considering what post he held, only two years. In 1947, the former treasurer goes free. And then he mysteriously dies. A good witness is a dead witness.
All events show that Hitler deliberately fed to fight with Russia. England, France and the USA had the opportunity not to allow Hitler to create a new powerful Wehrmacht. However, he was allowed to do so. From a certain point on, the Germans stopped requesting reparations for the First World War. Germany sells military patents in the field of tank and aircraft construction, supplying it with equipment. The League of Nations suddenly allows Hitler to become a collector of German lands. How to explain it? Also “supported by the manufacturer Krupp”?
And how to explain that Hitler started the war on two fronts? After all, he always wrote that the war on two fronts is a guaranteed death for Germany, which is why she suffered such a heavy defeat in the First World War. And suddenly June 22, waging war with Britain, he attacks the Soviet Union. Why does Hitler contradict himself? And he does not contradict. For Hitler, it was obvious that he would no longer have the first front. The front should be one, with the Soviet Union. And with Britain, what went down in history under the name Strange War will continue: when at the beginning of World War II soldiers did not shoot at each other, but played football and cards in the neutral zone, when the first British soldier was killed only through 2,5 months after the outbreak of hostilities.
And if we still remember that 10 May 41, Hitler’s closest aide Rudolf Hess suddenly flew to the UK, it becomes clear that Hess was flying there to negotiate with England. And he agreed with England. Evidence of this is the secrecy of all the documents related to the arrival of Hess. We are told that Hess flew in to offer Britain peace, and the UK refused. Then why are these documents hiding? They should be published on the contrary. So everything was different: Hess offered the world, the UK agreed to it. This is the secret that is hidden from us. That is why Hitler attacked the Soviet Union: he was sure that there would be only one front - in the East. The British deceived him. Purpose? It is as old as Britain: ruin the successor of the Russian empire with the help of others — the Soviet Union, and stay clean and out of it.
Found spit on Stalin
- Why did Stalin become a bone in the throat just for the Anglo-Saxon civilization? After all, the Iron Curtain fell after the speech was not de Gaulle, not Franco, not Emperor Hirohito - all the claims, moreover on behalf of the “English-speaking commonwealth,” Churchill said.
- In December 1945, the Soviet Union did not ratify the agreement, as a result of which the dollar was to become the world's only reserve currency. The answer to this was Churchill's Fulton speech immediately in March 1946, and an iron curtain fell across the entire planet. Stalin built an alternative economic system in which the main force was not money, but the idea. That's what infuriated the "English-speaking community"! This completely contradicts the main principles of the civilization that the Anglo-Saxons are building. In the same place, everything is tied up with money, because the bankers who usurped the right to create money manage this civilization. Indeed, in all of today's Western civilization, the state is deprived of the right to issue money. Money is created by central banks, which are subordinated to private individuals, and the states borrow money from them.
Stalin's economy was built like this: the money supply did not increase, but there was a constant reduction in the price level, which led to a better life for the population. That is, the money supply is unchanged, but new enterprises are constantly being introduced, new goods are being produced, and due to this, with the inevitable, that is, not increasing money supply, prices can be lowered. The Anglo-Saxon modern civilization is built on other principles: bankers constantly reprint new money. Therefore, in a situation where in one civilization money would become more and more, and they depreciated, and in another civilization the amount of money would be unchanged, but it would become more and more expensive and weighty, it is absolutely clear who would be the winner. To this we add racial segregation and the colonial system, which was then in the West. And human rights were, of course, on the side of the USSR, because there really were all equal, and the Soviet Union had the colossal authority of a victor in World War II, who destroyed Nazism in Europe. In a historical perspective, the western model simply had no chance. Therefore, its creators tried to eliminate Stalin physically. And they managed to poison him in March 1953.
- Today, when the British Empire collapsed ...
- The British Empire did not fall apart at all. This is an illusion. It still exists, just in disguised form. Here is a question for erudition: who is the head of Canada? Do not know? Well, such a question: what is the structure in Canada?
- Republican.
- Wrong. The fact that you respond so is the fruit of many years of manipulation in our mind. Modern Canada is a monarchy. The head of state there is a monarch, the English queen, Elizabeth II. In addition to Britain, the British monarch is the head of state in 15 countries. And if it seems to you that this power is nominal, that the English Queen reigns, but does not rule, you are mistaken. The Queen of England can declare war, dissolve parliament, lead the army ...
- Why doesn't she use it?
- Also how to use. Take both world wars. What, say, could threaten Germany to countries such as Canada and Australia? Yes, nothing. However, both declared war on her. More precisely, so: the British monarch each time declared war on their behalf to Germany. Can a country be considered independent if the head of another state declares war on its behalf? If the parliament can dissolve it at any time the head of another state?
- But Elizabeth never dismissed anyone!
- Because everything goes as she needs. But if in Canada a party wishing to let go of the province of Quebec and enter into a military alliance with China win the election, you can be sure that the queen will immediately dismiss such a parliament. And in her country the queen is an absolute monarch: the head of the legislative power, the head of the executive power, appoints the prime minister, and she is not obliged to approve the leader of the winning party. This is not regulated by law, it is just a tradition. In fact, the queen can put anyone on her post and remove her from her. The queen may declare the decision of any court invalid. She is the head of the church. Where else will you find such power? The British Parliament works calmly only because its decisions do not go against the queen’s policies. But if, for example, a miracle happened, and in Great Britain the party that favored an alliance with Russia, NATO’s dissolution or something else would have won the election - you can be sure that the queen would intervene immediately. She has all the powers for this.
How much a pound is up and running
- Is it true that the Bank of Russia’s gold and foreign exchange reserves do not belong to Russia?
- I'm afraid to upset you. You are from Latvia, right? As a matter of fact, Latvia’s foreign exchange reserves do not belong to the Latvian state. This is a system that exists in all states whose currency is not a backup. There are central banks, whose main task is to support the stability of the dollar and not the national currency at all. They buy back all the dollar and euro mass entering the country, and only within this framework they issue the national currency. And the dollars and euros they immediately lend to other states in the eurozone and the United States. Thus, the hot money supply is withdrawn from circulation and there is no devaluation of the euro, the dollar. And the states of the eurozone and the United States get the opportunity to live beyond their means, because they constantly borrow the same money, actually getting the resources for free. All central banks invest their foreign exchange reserves in the debt securities of Western countries. And the gold in these gold reserves is very small, less than 7 percent. All the rest is not even securities, it is records in the American computer. Just computer tac toe. Turning off this computer will reset everything.
- Why is Britain stubbornly maintaining its pound, not adjoining the eurozone?
- Because the British do not want to share their money with anyone. I mean the right to issue them. But with pleasure they are ready to take away the right of others to issue national currencies. Great Britain occupies a special place in the Schengen area. As it is today, it is the force that controls the world. Together with the United States, it constitutes a single organism. States are the body, but the brain — the center of the web — is in the UK. Look: we read a lot about the difficulties of the American economy, but almost nowhere to find detailed information about the difficulties of the British economy. Although the national debt there is also very large and the problems are no less. However, for some reason no one writes.
- Do you believe in the viability of the EU and its strength to butt with the Anglo-Saxon civilization?
- After Europe began to pursue an independent policy, bankers representing the Anglo-Saxon civilization struck at the European economy of Europe, simply ceasing to lend to Greece, Italy, France, and so on. This immediately caused colossal problems, since all the states of the modern Western world live beyond their means. Accordingly, they are completely dependent on who gives them these funds. The question is: how much Europe is ready again to hand over its sovereignty to Washington. If it passes, the crediting will continue, investors will “believe” in the economy, and for a while everything will calm down. If the Europeans do not want to do this, then we will see an even greater rampant separatism, international bankers will finance the fragmentation of European states, such as Spain, Belgium. They will sway the economy to bring Europe into submission.
But in the long run, we see that the system of creating money from nothing and life beyond its means already comes to a standstill even where it was invented - in the US and the UK. In the world there is no close to such a quantity of goods that would correspond to the printed money supply. Therefore, when creating money to pay off government debt, the value of the money itself collapses again and again. The creators of the financial pyramid see a way out in one thing - a global war. And they are preparing this war. Today in the Middle East - its first stage.
- Are you sure that the Third World is inevitable?
- It is wrong to pose the question. World War then called the historians. Just analyze the history - and you will see that humanity cannot live long without a serious war. Not because people are bad by nature, but because war makes it possible to solve a number of geopolitical and economic problems. The organizers of the First and Second World Wars are the same forces that, by organizing a terrible war, nullified the statehood of competitors, destroyed their financial and economic system and moved towards establishing world domination. Today the task before them is the same. Yes, they dominate the planet, but they need to reset the economic and political potentials of those countries that can challenge them. Namely - Russia, China. It is necessary to retain control over Europe, so that not too independent policy is conducted there.
- And where does the Middle East?
- Need, relatively speaking, the new Hitler, the new Nazis. Need a powerful destructive force. Its role today is played by Islamic fundamentalism, which the authors - Britain and the United States - lead to power in the whole region in order to dismantle all the statehood there, to destroy the entire infrastructure. Then the large human masses will be left without means of subsistence, and they can be moved towards the borders of Russia and China through Afghanistan and Pakistan. And if you bring up Islamic revolutions in the countries of Central Asia, the task is much simpler.
You are on land, I am at sea
- Why did the Islamization of Europe happen so abruptly today?
- The task of the political elite, which today leads the planet - the constant fragmentation of peoples and any social groups. Therefore, in Christian Europe, they tried to provide a large influx of people professing Islam. But if Europe was Islamic, they would have tried to bring in large numbers of Christians there in the same way. Their task is to cause discord, so that the peoples would be busy with strife and would not even think of confronting their policies. Therefore, discord is sown not only on the basis of religion, but also on the principle of any social group. The last thing they want to destroy is the family and belonging of a person to any gender. Ideas have been launched that it is normal for a person to change the sex several times in a lifetime. Educational programs are being created for children, where it is told that boys can love boys, and girls love girls. There is only one goal - a person should not be tied to any group: neither national, nor social, nor even sexual. This creature should not identify itself with anyone or anything at all, but it should want only one thing to consume it.
- A multipolar world - how do you see it? Who with whom?
- We must understand that Russia has no allies. As the wise emperor Alexander III said, Russia has only two allies: its army and navy. There are four centers of power in the world today. The dominant is the Anglo-Saxon civilization led by Great Britain and the USA. Further Europe, which is largely subordinate to the United States, but is trying to play its game led by Germany. The third force is China, which is growing and becoming a big headache for the Anglo-Saxon civilization. And the fourth force is Russia, which, after the treachery of Gorbachev, little by little comes to life, realizes its own national and geopolitical interests. It is between the four centers of power that the whole struggle will be in perspective.
- What is the role of the Baltic in today's world order?
- Since the civilization of the sea must constantly block the land outlets of civilization to the sea, the Baltic will always be a hot place. Note: as soon as the USSR was destroyed, the Baltic states for some reason did not become fully independent. They are included in the structure of NATO and the European Union. That is, joyfully gave their independence into the wrong hands. Explain: what's the difference - to enter the Warsaw Pact or enter the NATO bloc? What is the difference - Latvian soldiers are in Afghanistan as part of the Soviet army or as part of NATO troops? Out of one system - immediately turned out to be included in another. Why? Because states located in key strategic locations cannot be independent. The Baltic was, is and will be a kind of field on which other, much more powerful geopolitical players play. This caused the Lord God, drawing just such a coastline. Therefore, the land civilization will always break through to the Baltic ports, and the civilization of the sea will block these attempts. The land civilization will strive to create friendly states there, and the civilization of the sea will create hostile to it. So independence for the Baltic countries is a conditional concept. They will always be part of a geopolitical entity. Today, it is hosted by the civilization of the sea. The results are obvious: half of the local population has left and works in a foreign land. Is it possible to preserve culture? I doubt it. I remember that in Soviet times you come to Estonia and you feel at every step a national flavor. I recently visited there again: hamburgers, cheesecakes ... When these three republics were part of the land civilization, they were the flagship there - it was brilliance, chic, the personification of the West, the rest of the republic looked at them with interest and even with a little envy. And as part of the civilization of the sea today, they turned into backyards, the outskirts, to which no one cares. However, your location is so interesting that you will have to face a choice more than once.
Still change.
- The information in your books is sometimes so amazing that you wonder: how did the author get it?
The most interesting thing is that a huge amount of information is in the public domain. You just need to be able to find and analyze it. Yes, in the British archives, no one researcher does not penetrate. But the answers to the main secrets are not found there either, because there are no protocols for serious events, no receipts are left. The activities of a history researcher are in many ways similar to the activities of an investigator. After all, it is rare for a criminal to leave material evidence at a crime scene. And even more rarely, when he stands near the victim with a bloody knife. Nevertheless, the criminals are found - by circumstantial evidence, by whoever benefits the crime, with the help of witnesses. Find and plant. When the state acts as a criminal, it has immeasurably more opportunities to cover its tracks. Therefore, crises, revolutions, political assassinations, organization of wars with other states are disguised and hidden much better than the crime of any serial maniac or criminal gang. However, here, as in forensic science, someone always saw something, heard something, remembered and wrote in his memoirs. Statistics confirmed something. In the archives of the press additional details flashed. And now - compare and draw conclusions. I am sure that with the availability of facts and analytical skills, not only I, but also my readers, can independently unravel the most convoluted tangles of history.
We spoke about this with the journalists of the Latvian magazine Patron.
The first part of the interview dealt with the opposition of the Russian and Anglo-Saxon civilization. About who feeds and raises "our" revolutionaries for centuries.
(The text of the interview from the February magazine came to me just the other day! I publish it immediately upon receipt).
“The current color revolutions in the East are not a scenario invented today. He is run in by the author, the British Empire, at least a century. In order to dominate the planet, she conducted countless coups, many revolutions (including the year’s 1917 in Russia), launched two world wars and is now preparing a third one. The well-known Russian publicist Nikolai Starikov is convinced of this, whose books on stories read in one breath. An economist by training, he considers any fact from the point of view - “who pays for it? who benefits? ” And - at once the inconsistency of the official versions included in the textbooks is obvious, and in the events that happened at different times and in different parts of the planet, one conductor is guessed. “The USA is the body and the brain is Britain. She is the force that rules the world to this day. ”
Accepts more English
- If you remember offhand with whom the Russians have always fought, the Swedes, the French, the Turks, the Germans immediately come to mind. And in your books you prove that Britain has always been the first enemy of Russia. How to explain this inconsistency, Nikolai Viktorovich?
- The favorite policy of Britain is not to fight face to face, but to stand behind someone else’s back and set off states. What she did well for centuries. If you do not take this into account, many facts in history do not understand. Take the Nishtad Peace Treaty of the Year. If we read it, we will be very surprised. Imagine: Russia fought with Sweden for almost 1721 years and won. But then, for some reason, she paid off the money to Sweden - in fact, she bought the lands that she won weapons. What is the historical incident? And the reason is simple: behind the back of weakened Sweden, on the territory of which our army was already landing, there was a powerful power - Great Britain. She by all means prevented Russia's access to the sea. When the Swedes failed to hold Russia with their hands, British diplomats began to put pressure on Peter I in order to end the conflict in a more advantageous way for Sweden and less advantageous for Russia. And the charter to fight with Sweden, realizing that in the case of intransigence, a war with Great Britain threatens, Peter concluded the Nishtadt peace in such a strange way, when the winner pays for the victory.
Take any opponent of the Russians, look behind him - and you will certainly find British intelligence there. The Anglo-Saxon civilization always played great combinations on the world political arena and only in extreme cases took a personal part in wars, preferring to rake in the heat with someone else's hands.
- How long has it started - the opposition of the Anglo-Saxon and Russian civilizations?
- The whole history of mankind is an attempt by one civilization to dominate all the resources on the planet: natural, human. In this sense, the modern world and the one that was thousands of years ago are no different. Open clashes between the Anglo-Saxon and Russian civilizations began after the end of the Napoleonic wars, when Russia became the most powerful European power. But even before that, Britain did everything to keep out of land Russia to the sea. That is why she always supported Turkey, Persia (Iran) in the wars with the Russians. After Russia established itself on the Black Sea, the UK set the following task - not to let the Russians go to the Mediterranean. After all, the Black Sea is, one can say, an internal lake. And access to the ocean expanses goes through the winding straits of the Dardanelles. And the Bosphorus, on which stands Constantinople. The Russian Empire was not able to solve this task precisely because of the powerful financial, diplomatic and military support that Britain provided to our opponents. In the Turkish and Persian armies were British military advisers.
In order for the modern reader to better understand the situation, let us recall the USSR and the USA. Was there a standoff between them? It was. Direct military clashes were? Were not. However, when the Americans were in Vietnam, the Soviet Union fought with the Americans by the hands of the Vietnamese partisans. When the Soviet army was in Afghanistan, the United States fought with the Soviet Union with the hands of the Afghan Mujahideen. The same applies to regional conflicts in Latin America and Africa. These are not individual freedom fighters who fought against governments supported by either Moscow or Washington. No, it was a war between the USA and the USSR. As previously, the British Empire and the Russian Empire fought among themselves. Nothing new. What we saw in the 20 century was in both 19 and 18 centuries.
- What are we so different: the Anglo-Saxons and the Slavs? What is the principal reason for the rejection of each other?
- I would not reduce Russian civilization only to the Slavic world. The uniqueness of the Russian civilization lies in the fact that it was founded by the Russian people, but as the country expanded, it included other peoples, many of which do not have Slavic roots. That did not stop everyone from getting along well with each other. None of these peoples lost their national identity. Many precisely within the Russian Empire or precisely within the USSR acquired the national intelligentsia, their writing, their writers, poets, thinkers. This is the fundamental difference between Russian civilization and Anglo-Saxon, which, wherever it appears, destroys the national characteristics of the indigenous population, and often destroys the indigenous population itself. What happened to the Indians in America. America is a very telling example, because it was not only the English who colonized it. First the Spaniards founded the colonies there, then the Portuguese, then the French, and only then the British. What do we see? Where the French were - modern Canada, the Indians there are well preserved, most of the geographical names - Indian. Where were the Portuguese and the Spaniards, the indigenous population was not exterminated at all, they all mixed up, they got married - and a new ethnos was formed, which was later joined by black slaves. Another thing - the territory in which the Anglo-Saxons commanded. There, the Indians were subject to total extermination, there the whites and blacks were not mixed at all. This fundamental difference of the Anglo-Saxon civilization is not to absorb another's culture, but to destroy it. So it was in India, so it was everywhere. And so it continues today: Anglo-Saxon culture, which dominates in the West, is trying to erase other people's national characteristics, exporting itself and its values to new territories.
Urgently required rioters
- None of the historians still can not clearly explain why the mighty Russian Empire collapsed overnight. Why does a handful of Bolsheviks, who have been living abroad for years in oblivion, suddenly take power and, hated by all, hold it? Your version is very unexpected: the 1917 revolution of the year is a brilliant operation of British intelligence. Tell me, why should the British make a revolution in Russia?
- It is impossible in the interview to retell the arguments to which I dedicated two thick books. But let's extrapolate this situation today - and get the main mystery. Let's imagine that Boris Berezovsky arrived in Moscow and right at the station made a call for the overthrow of the existing system. What do you think, how much time he would have stood on an armored car, apron, car, or anywhere else? I think seconds. Or, if the head of al-Qaeda came to Washington and called right to the White House for a holy war against the infidels, how long would he have lingered there? Moments. We see an amazing situation when Lenin and a whole group of revolutionaries drove through the territory of Germany, with which Russia at that moment officially fought. We arrived at the St. Petersburg station, and no one arrested them. Moreover, they were greeted by an orchestra and flowers. And on the spot, Lenin called for a new revolution, that is, for the overthrow of power. And in the conditions of world war. What does this mean?
The fact that the then Russian government was the Provisional Government for some reason decided not to oppose those who opposed it, the state itself and called for a new phase of the revolution. Why does the government have such blindness during the war? After all, in order for the picture to be complete, let's imagine that Boris Berezovsky did not come to a calm, well-fed modern Moscow, but arrived in Moscow on September 41 of the year and urged that the advancing German troops surrender it, because “the bloody Stalinist regime cannot cope with the defense of the Russian people. " Then the analogy is complete. What should have been done with such a person? Arrest, judge by martial law and shoot very quickly. But no! Nobody prevented Lenin from conducting propaganda, the Bolsheviks released their newspaper in huge print runs, began to decompose the army.
- But the fact that Lenin and a group of comrades freely passed through the territory of Germany isn’t it an argument that the Bolsheviks are a German project? Created to end the war against the Germans. - Well, let's imagine the situation from the German side. You are the head of the German General Staff. A certain revolutionary comes to you, say, Parvus, and proposes a brilliant idea: we take revolutionaries, put them on the train, give them a lot of money and send them by train to Russia to change power. Again, the analogy with September 41. A train with Trotskyists, White Guards, emigrants, monarchists to Moscow 1941 would have arrived. What does it matter how much money they have! The station would be cordoned off; all gentlemen, monarchists and the comrades of the Trotskyists, would be arrested and very quickly eliminated. Directing Lenin and the group into the warring Russia was on the part of the Germans a sheer gamble - a notorious failure. No, Lenin's passage was patronized by someone else. Who! There is a fact that historians do not like to talk about, because it spoils the whole picture for them. Lenin and his companions did not travel by rail all the time. They traveled from Switzerland through Germany to the port of Sassnitz, where they boarded a ferry and sailed to Sweden. In Sweden, they traveled by train to Stockholm, where they came to the Russian embassy and received money from the Provisional Government and tickets for further travel.
- That is, as? The interim government itself paid the fare to those who came to overthrow him ?!
- Exactly. And after Lenin's, in a month, two more “sealed” trains arrived in Russia, filled with revolutionaries of all stripes. In total - about three hundred people. And again, the authorities "do not notice." Also, Leon Trotsky and his colleagues are sent home from the USA. In Canada, he was removed from the steamer and arrested by the British authorities, but then very quickly released. Why? Because it asked about it ... The Provisional Government, which Lev Davydovich went to overthrow!
Why would the Provisional Government dig its own grave? Only a puppet power can do this, executing the orders of the master. If the Provisional Government helps Lenin, then it is a question of one project with one owner. Who is this Germany? At first glance, it seems that - yes, because Lenin comes out with the slogan to end the war, and this is beneficial to the Germans. However, the puppet Provisional Government, on the contrary, declares its determination to wage war to the bitter end. This means that the owner is different and more difficult. Its goal is not to stop the war between Russia and Germany. Its goal is to destroy Russia itself in a revolutionary way. And then in the same way destroy Germany.
Let's see what the Provisional Government is doing, barely taking power. Releases all prisoners from prisons, abolishes the police, eliminates counterintelligence and gendarmerie, announces freedom of political propaganda among the troops, abolishes the entire administration: governors and vice-governors. That is accurately and quickly ruining the country. Who can afford to order this? And, most importantly, who can afford to pay such a large-scale order? Germany, which has already been exsanguinated, is practically broken and dreams of one thing - to jump out of this war as soon as possible in order to start licking your wounds ?!
No, only England can afford such an order. It was she, and not at all Germany over the past two hundred years has been Russia's main geopolitical rival. At first, Britain’s subversive role was in diplomatic intrigues and wiles. Then the methods of struggle changed. And British intelligence began to create the Russian revolutionary underground.
The truth about carrot tea
- Have you ever wondered what money the Russian revolutionaries lived in emigration? Lenin, Krasin, Zinoviev, Bukharin, Trotsky and so on? All this fraternity never worked and did not produce anything. However, she lived in the most expensive cities of Europe, eating, drinking, dressing in something. And so for years! There were hundreds of these revolutionaries, but none of them died of hunger, and in their memoirs there are no sentimental stories about life under the Parisian bridges and Brussels fences. So, money came from somewhere.
Read Lenin's letters, where he writes that her sister, Maria Ilyinichna, would be nice if she came to him - “we would then ride together to Italy ... I would be in Brussels for three days, and then I would come back here and think to roll to Italy. Why should not Mitya (talking about his brother, Dmitriy Ilyich) come here? He must rest too ... I now hope to earn a lot. ” Very curious: where did the future leader of the world proletariat expect to earn? He had only two legal ways: transferring other people's books and writing his own. His most famous work, written in exile before the First World War, is “Materialism and Empirio-Criticism”. Already from the title it is clear that such a book can not become a bestseller with millions of copies. The golden rain could not fall and when Ilyich translated works of Engels or Kautsky from German into Russian.
However, his habits are the lifestyle of a rich person. After all, the whole of Europe has traversed Vladimir Ilyich! And this epic continued with short interruptions from 1900 to 1917! He traveled not alone, but with his wife and mother-in-law - they lived together. Going to the boarding house to rest, they grabbed the sister of Ilyich. Housing was rented good: let's say, in Paris, it was a four-room apartment with water and gas, which is rare for the beginning of the 20th century.
And in European capitals, Lenin did not live alone. Take at random several revolutionary biographies — the Mensheviks, Bolsheviks, or Social Revolutionaries. Everywhere we will see the same picture: fighters for people's happiness freely eat Western European bread for unknown money. And yet there are congresses and conferences! For example, the Second Congress of the RSDLP opened in Brussels, and had to finish it in London, as the Belgian police became interested in what was happening. All delegates took and moved to the British capital: more than 40 people. Where are the nowhere working Democrats funds for group travels in Europe? How much money did they rent a room for the congress? Who paid them hotels and issued a travel allowance for meals?
- Answer of biographers: there were membership fees, there were donations from millionaires, like Savva Morozov.
- As for membership fees - in the extremist parties of that time consisted of a maximum of several thousand people. These contributions do not pay for many years of living abroad heaps of idlers. As for donations, their magnitude is insanely bloated. As the state of Savva Morozov. Here are the words of Gorky: “Someone wrote in the newspapers that Savva Morozov was spending millions on the revolution — naturally, this is exaggerated to the size of a camel. Millions personally Sawa was not, his annual income - in his words - did not reach one hundred thousand. He gave on the publication of Iskra, it seems, twenty-four thousand a year. ”
- And eksy? Robbery of banks for the sake of the high ideals of the revolution?
- A wave of expropriation swept over Russia only at the end of the first revolution and took place over two and a half years. But Lenin abroad lived on short visits from 1895 to 1917 g ... Plekhanov generally spent 37 years abroad, his two daughters could hardly speak Russian. But there is another mystery to you: the Mensheviks of the banks were not robbed, they did not receive money from the экxyсов, but they lived in the neighborhood of the Bolsheviks in European capitals just as well. The standard of living of the revolutionary emigrants did not depend on their party affiliation.
No, there is no way to explain the free life of Russian revolutionaries. If you do not keep in mind the struggle of the powers on the world stage. The conclusion is simple: the source of funding for the Russian revolutionaries was the special services of the countries competing with Russia. Or one such country. That is why the version about “naive democrats who accidentally disorganized the country”, about the “tragic errors” and “fatal mistakes” of the Provisional Government is untenable. The destruction of the Russian Empire in 1917 was the most ambitious British intelligence operation in its history. If all the mysterious events taking place then are viewed at such an angle, the fog dissipates. Immediately find the explanation and strange connivance of the Bolsheviks from Kerensky, and the lack of Anglo-French assistance to the white fighters for the restoration of the country during the Civil War. Everything mysterious turns logical and understandable.
And among this mysterious - the story of the gold mines "Lena Goldfields" and the purchase of Swedish locomotives.
Their engine is flying forward
“Lena Goldfields” is a British company that in Tsarist Russia owned a controlling stake in gold mines that mined a third of all Russian gold. The workers were paid a penny, although mining was carried out in permafrost conditions, and the working day lasted 16 hours. As a result, it came to a riot, which the tsarist authorities calmed down with weapons - the notoriously famous Lensky shooting. The blood of the Russian workers shed a shameful stain on the tsar. But foreign shareholders remained, however, with it.
1917 comes the year. The revolution sweeps away the capitalists. The Bolsheviks nationalize all the country's enterprises, including the gold mines on the Lena River. However, in 1925, the Soviet government unexpectedly re-entrusted the concession to develop the Lena mines to the Lena Goldfields company. For a period of thirty years. The contract is forced through Trotsky, the conditions are fantastic. Lena Goldfils has the right not only to wash gold from Yakutia to the Ural range, but also to extract silver, copper, iron. To this end, a British company is given a complex of Russian mining and metallurgical enterprises. The share of people's power in the mined precious metal is 7%, the share of Lena is 93%. Question: Why did the Soviet authorities sign such a draconian agreement? Why did they destitute their native state?
But here's another absurd contract: the purchase of steam locomotives in Sweden at the Nidquist and Holm factory by the Leninist government. The order quantity is one thousand locomotives. The price is 200 million gold rubles. This is twice as much as necessary. But the main thing: it is not clear why such an order should be placed abroad. And even more so in Sweden, which was by no means the leader of steam locomotive building! The company did not have enough power; it never built more than 40 locomotives per year. But in Russia itself there was the famous Putilov factory, which produced locomotives 250 a year. However, they did not give the order to their native Russian workers - they gave it to the Swedes. But at the same time the Soviet government gave them an interest-free loan so that the Swedes build a factory to fulfill the order. This amazing situation was outraged in the Russian economist magazine 1922. And - signed a sentence. Lenin ordered the Dzerzhinsky magazine to cover up: counterrevolutionaries and accomplices of the Entente gathered there.
- But what is the reason for such generosity to foreigners?
- Well, think for yourself: you can’t send a transfer to the British and write “a refund of funds spent on the Russian revolution” in the payment system. They paid with such orders, through neutral countries, such as Sweden. 200 million gold rubles is a quarter of the country's gold reserves. So the British could be pleased: the rival's empire was destroyed, and the spent was returned. And earned.
True, the renaissance of Lena Goldfields did not last as long as it was intended. In 1929, the Chekists conducted a series of searches and denied the British concessions. Why? Trotsky was expelled from the USSR that same year, Lenin was long dead. The power is Stalin, who did not hang out in exile, at the time of the February Revolution was in exile in Siberia. He should not have been to the British and, with a clear conscience, returned the mines to the state.
The end of this story is certainly interesting to readers in the Baltics. Over the next decades, Lena Goldfields demanded compensation from the USSR for the loss of the concession. The litigation lasted until the 1968 year, after which the British banking circles finally decided to make peace with the USSR. Of course, not free. In the British banks since 1940, gold was kept belonging to the Baltic states that became part of the USSR. For decades, it was not transferred to Moscow under various pretexts. And in 1968, it was Baltic gold that, by mutual agreement, covered Lena’s claims.
- Dexterously! The British got the desired collapse of the Russian Empire. The Bolsheviks gained power. The Latvians, Lithuanians, and Estonians paid for this fulfillment of the wishes. That's really - the grimaces of history.
***
In the second part of the interview for the Latvian magazine Patron, the conversation turned to who financed the coming to power of Adolf Hitler and how the Stalinist economy was organized.
Adolf is going to hike
- The Germans should love you, Nikolai Viktorovich: filling in the gaps in the history of Russia, you clear the history of Germany. For example, until now it was believed that Hitler was nurtured and financed by German industrialists, all kinds of Kruppa there.
“Do you know what always struck me?” A lot of books have been written about World War II. It would seem that there can be no white spots here. But in fact the opposite. Historians have carefully calculated the amount tanks, guns, soldiers and planes at the warring parties. However, they did not answer the most important questions dictated by common sense. On the one hand, they amicably write that Adolf Hitler dreamed of conquering the whole world. On the other, they admit that Germany was not ready for the war that he started in September 1939. Three weeks later, the German Wehrmacht began to end air bombs, and after the defeat of France, which took only six weeks, the German army came to an end in general with all the ammunition. Excuse me, but are they so prepared to conquer the world?
Such logical inconsistencies in the subject of Hitler - the sea. Here is the well-established version that it was fostered and financially supported by the sharks of German capitalism. It is devoid of logic. Did you read the program of the Nazis? Why should breeders give money to a party that requires the nationalization of industrial trusts? participation of workers and employees in the profits of commercial enterprises? exemptions from the private property of large stores and renting them at low prices to small producers? adoption of the law on the free confiscation of land? cancellation of interest on mortgages? ban on land speculation? Would you, in the place of large German capital, finance people who demand this? It is clear that no.- Maybe Hitler came to power without sponsors? Maybe he was supported for objective reasons? A terrible crisis is raging in the country. Remarque describes how they ran to spend their salary before lunch, because after lunch the money will be half as much. In such conditions, any populist with slogans understandable to people should win.
- I'll tell you more. Inflation was such that it exceeds the imagination of any person. For clarity: in 1913, all the wealth of the German Empire was estimated at 300 billion marks. And only ten years later, in 1923, the whole amount was equal to the American exchange rate at the exchange rate of only 7. People were not buried in coffins - it was an unprecedented luxury, but in cardboard boxes. A single egg cost the same as a 30 million eggs cost ten years ago! And at this time, a certain Ernst Ganfshtengl gives a friend Adolph a thousand dollars - a fortune! - For the purchase of a printing house and a Nazi newspaper. And who is Ganfshtengl? Half American, the son of a major dealer of antiques with a family business on 5-th Avenue in New York, graduated from Harvard, spent the entire First World War in the USA. Why did this rich esthete, who possesses a great sense of humor, become imbued with a love for a straightforward little-educated corporal? Why he took in his villa in the Bavarian Alps, introduced into secular circles? The environment of Hitler was disgusting to Ganfshtenglyu, Goebbels, he called a pig in his eyes. However, he followed Hitler on his heels and inspired, inspired, inspired. About the fact that Germany should be friends with the UK and America, about the fact that Adolf must believe in himself, and everything will work out.
During the beer putsch Hitler was sentenced to five years in prison. In prison, he wrote “Mein Kampf,” dictated to Rudolf Hess, who typed the text on a typewriter. The main idea of the book is all that Ganfshtengl whispered. England is Germany’s most important ally. Mein Kampf is a direct appeal to Great Britain: we are creating a powerful new movement among the Germans, the fascist party. We should not be afraid, we love and support the interests of the British. Just help - and we will pursue a policy pleasing the United Kingdom. In the book there is even a direct appeal: “Give us a weapon!”. And what? Hitler was heard. Mein Kampf is typing while Hitler is still seated. After that, the term is suddenly reduced to him from 5 years to 11 months. And why? In British intelligence, they read this book and realized what pro-British force is growing on German soil. It was decided to support this force, clicked on the right channels - and Hitler was released from prison.
From this point on, the future Fuhrer’s money problems are solved forever: he acquires a villa, the six-seat Mercedes-Compressor of the latest model. The costs of the Nazis are crying out of proportion to their incomes. Each attack aircraft was at the expense of the party dressed, shod and fed. Each member of the SA received a salary - at the time of total unemployment in Germany. It was this, and not the eloquence of the Fuhrer, that was the most effective means of recruiting new members of the fascist party. You wear a brown shirt and you can feed the children. Who gave all this money? Stories about good old women, like the widow of a piano factory owner, are ridiculous. Even with great stretch, it was only a third of the party budget. Who gave the rest? We will never wait for an official response, because in the last days of the Third Reich 90% of the financial documents of the Nazi Party were burned. They were destroyed in the first place - in contrast to such trifling papers as orders for mass executions and deportations, which will then form the basis of the international prosecution and lead to the gallows of generals. He burned all financial documents the permanent treasurer of the Nazi Party, Obergruppenführer SS Franz Xavier Schwartz. For which he received a “childish” term, considering what post he held, only two years. In 1947, the former treasurer goes free. And then he mysteriously dies. A good witness is a dead witness.
All events show that Hitler deliberately fed to fight with Russia. England, France and the USA had the opportunity not to allow Hitler to create a new powerful Wehrmacht. However, he was allowed to do so. From a certain point on, the Germans stopped requesting reparations for the First World War. Germany sells military patents in the field of tank and aircraft construction, supplying it with equipment. The League of Nations suddenly allows Hitler to become a collector of German lands. How to explain it? Also “supported by the manufacturer Krupp”?
And how to explain that Hitler started the war on two fronts? After all, he always wrote that the war on two fronts is a guaranteed death for Germany, which is why she suffered such a heavy defeat in the First World War. And suddenly June 22, waging war with Britain, he attacks the Soviet Union. Why does Hitler contradict himself? And he does not contradict. For Hitler, it was obvious that he would no longer have the first front. The front should be one, with the Soviet Union. And with Britain, what went down in history under the name Strange War will continue: when at the beginning of World War II soldiers did not shoot at each other, but played football and cards in the neutral zone, when the first British soldier was killed only through 2,5 months after the outbreak of hostilities.
And if we still remember that 10 May 41, Hitler’s closest aide Rudolf Hess suddenly flew to the UK, it becomes clear that Hess was flying there to negotiate with England. And he agreed with England. Evidence of this is the secrecy of all the documents related to the arrival of Hess. We are told that Hess flew in to offer Britain peace, and the UK refused. Then why are these documents hiding? They should be published on the contrary. So everything was different: Hess offered the world, the UK agreed to it. This is the secret that is hidden from us. That is why Hitler attacked the Soviet Union: he was sure that there would be only one front - in the East. The British deceived him. Purpose? It is as old as Britain: ruin the successor of the Russian empire with the help of others — the Soviet Union, and stay clean and out of it.
Found spit on Stalin
- Why did Stalin become a bone in the throat just for the Anglo-Saxon civilization? After all, the Iron Curtain fell after the speech was not de Gaulle, not Franco, not Emperor Hirohito - all the claims, moreover on behalf of the “English-speaking commonwealth,” Churchill said.
- In December 1945, the Soviet Union did not ratify the agreement, as a result of which the dollar was to become the world's only reserve currency. The answer to this was Churchill's Fulton speech immediately in March 1946, and an iron curtain fell across the entire planet. Stalin built an alternative economic system in which the main force was not money, but the idea. That's what infuriated the "English-speaking community"! This completely contradicts the main principles of the civilization that the Anglo-Saxons are building. In the same place, everything is tied up with money, because the bankers who usurped the right to create money manage this civilization. Indeed, in all of today's Western civilization, the state is deprived of the right to issue money. Money is created by central banks, which are subordinated to private individuals, and the states borrow money from them.
Stalin's economy was built like this: the money supply did not increase, but there was a constant reduction in the price level, which led to a better life for the population. That is, the money supply is unchanged, but new enterprises are constantly being introduced, new goods are being produced, and due to this, with the inevitable, that is, not increasing money supply, prices can be lowered. The Anglo-Saxon modern civilization is built on other principles: bankers constantly reprint new money. Therefore, in a situation where in one civilization money would become more and more, and they depreciated, and in another civilization the amount of money would be unchanged, but it would become more and more expensive and weighty, it is absolutely clear who would be the winner. To this we add racial segregation and the colonial system, which was then in the West. And human rights were, of course, on the side of the USSR, because there really were all equal, and the Soviet Union had the colossal authority of a victor in World War II, who destroyed Nazism in Europe. In a historical perspective, the western model simply had no chance. Therefore, its creators tried to eliminate Stalin physically. And they managed to poison him in March 1953.
- Today, when the British Empire collapsed ...
- The British Empire did not fall apart at all. This is an illusion. It still exists, just in disguised form. Here is a question for erudition: who is the head of Canada? Do not know? Well, such a question: what is the structure in Canada?
- Republican.
- Wrong. The fact that you respond so is the fruit of many years of manipulation in our mind. Modern Canada is a monarchy. The head of state there is a monarch, the English queen, Elizabeth II. In addition to Britain, the British monarch is the head of state in 15 countries. And if it seems to you that this power is nominal, that the English Queen reigns, but does not rule, you are mistaken. The Queen of England can declare war, dissolve parliament, lead the army ...
- Why doesn't she use it?
- Also how to use. Take both world wars. What, say, could threaten Germany to countries such as Canada and Australia? Yes, nothing. However, both declared war on her. More precisely, so: the British monarch each time declared war on their behalf to Germany. Can a country be considered independent if the head of another state declares war on its behalf? If the parliament can dissolve it at any time the head of another state?
- But Elizabeth never dismissed anyone!
- Because everything goes as she needs. But if in Canada a party wishing to let go of the province of Quebec and enter into a military alliance with China win the election, you can be sure that the queen will immediately dismiss such a parliament. And in her country the queen is an absolute monarch: the head of the legislative power, the head of the executive power, appoints the prime minister, and she is not obliged to approve the leader of the winning party. This is not regulated by law, it is just a tradition. In fact, the queen can put anyone on her post and remove her from her. The queen may declare the decision of any court invalid. She is the head of the church. Where else will you find such power? The British Parliament works calmly only because its decisions do not go against the queen’s policies. But if, for example, a miracle happened, and in Great Britain the party that favored an alliance with Russia, NATO’s dissolution or something else would have won the election - you can be sure that the queen would intervene immediately. She has all the powers for this.
How much a pound is up and running
- Is it true that the Bank of Russia’s gold and foreign exchange reserves do not belong to Russia?
- I'm afraid to upset you. You are from Latvia, right? As a matter of fact, Latvia’s foreign exchange reserves do not belong to the Latvian state. This is a system that exists in all states whose currency is not a backup. There are central banks, whose main task is to support the stability of the dollar and not the national currency at all. They buy back all the dollar and euro mass entering the country, and only within this framework they issue the national currency. And the dollars and euros they immediately lend to other states in the eurozone and the United States. Thus, the hot money supply is withdrawn from circulation and there is no devaluation of the euro, the dollar. And the states of the eurozone and the United States get the opportunity to live beyond their means, because they constantly borrow the same money, actually getting the resources for free. All central banks invest their foreign exchange reserves in the debt securities of Western countries. And the gold in these gold reserves is very small, less than 7 percent. All the rest is not even securities, it is records in the American computer. Just computer tac toe. Turning off this computer will reset everything.
- Why is Britain stubbornly maintaining its pound, not adjoining the eurozone?
- Because the British do not want to share their money with anyone. I mean the right to issue them. But with pleasure they are ready to take away the right of others to issue national currencies. Great Britain occupies a special place in the Schengen area. As it is today, it is the force that controls the world. Together with the United States, it constitutes a single organism. States are the body, but the brain — the center of the web — is in the UK. Look: we read a lot about the difficulties of the American economy, but almost nowhere to find detailed information about the difficulties of the British economy. Although the national debt there is also very large and the problems are no less. However, for some reason no one writes.
- Do you believe in the viability of the EU and its strength to butt with the Anglo-Saxon civilization?
- After Europe began to pursue an independent policy, bankers representing the Anglo-Saxon civilization struck at the European economy of Europe, simply ceasing to lend to Greece, Italy, France, and so on. This immediately caused colossal problems, since all the states of the modern Western world live beyond their means. Accordingly, they are completely dependent on who gives them these funds. The question is: how much Europe is ready again to hand over its sovereignty to Washington. If it passes, the crediting will continue, investors will “believe” in the economy, and for a while everything will calm down. If the Europeans do not want to do this, then we will see an even greater rampant separatism, international bankers will finance the fragmentation of European states, such as Spain, Belgium. They will sway the economy to bring Europe into submission.
But in the long run, we see that the system of creating money from nothing and life beyond its means already comes to a standstill even where it was invented - in the US and the UK. In the world there is no close to such a quantity of goods that would correspond to the printed money supply. Therefore, when creating money to pay off government debt, the value of the money itself collapses again and again. The creators of the financial pyramid see a way out in one thing - a global war. And they are preparing this war. Today in the Middle East - its first stage.
- Are you sure that the Third World is inevitable?
- It is wrong to pose the question. World War then called the historians. Just analyze the history - and you will see that humanity cannot live long without a serious war. Not because people are bad by nature, but because war makes it possible to solve a number of geopolitical and economic problems. The organizers of the First and Second World Wars are the same forces that, by organizing a terrible war, nullified the statehood of competitors, destroyed their financial and economic system and moved towards establishing world domination. Today the task before them is the same. Yes, they dominate the planet, but they need to reset the economic and political potentials of those countries that can challenge them. Namely - Russia, China. It is necessary to retain control over Europe, so that not too independent policy is conducted there.
- And where does the Middle East?
- Need, relatively speaking, the new Hitler, the new Nazis. Need a powerful destructive force. Its role today is played by Islamic fundamentalism, which the authors - Britain and the United States - lead to power in the whole region in order to dismantle all the statehood there, to destroy the entire infrastructure. Then the large human masses will be left without means of subsistence, and they can be moved towards the borders of Russia and China through Afghanistan and Pakistan. And if you bring up Islamic revolutions in the countries of Central Asia, the task is much simpler.
You are on land, I am at sea
- Why did the Islamization of Europe happen so abruptly today?
- The task of the political elite, which today leads the planet - the constant fragmentation of peoples and any social groups. Therefore, in Christian Europe, they tried to provide a large influx of people professing Islam. But if Europe was Islamic, they would have tried to bring in large numbers of Christians there in the same way. Their task is to cause discord, so that the peoples would be busy with strife and would not even think of confronting their policies. Therefore, discord is sown not only on the basis of religion, but also on the principle of any social group. The last thing they want to destroy is the family and belonging of a person to any gender. Ideas have been launched that it is normal for a person to change the sex several times in a lifetime. Educational programs are being created for children, where it is told that boys can love boys, and girls love girls. There is only one goal - a person should not be tied to any group: neither national, nor social, nor even sexual. This creature should not identify itself with anyone or anything at all, but it should want only one thing to consume it.
- A multipolar world - how do you see it? Who with whom?
- We must understand that Russia has no allies. As the wise emperor Alexander III said, Russia has only two allies: its army and navy. There are four centers of power in the world today. The dominant is the Anglo-Saxon civilization led by Great Britain and the USA. Further Europe, which is largely subordinate to the United States, but is trying to play its game led by Germany. The third force is China, which is growing and becoming a big headache for the Anglo-Saxon civilization. And the fourth force is Russia, which, after the treachery of Gorbachev, little by little comes to life, realizes its own national and geopolitical interests. It is between the four centers of power that the whole struggle will be in perspective.
- What is the role of the Baltic in today's world order?
- Since the civilization of the sea must constantly block the land outlets of civilization to the sea, the Baltic will always be a hot place. Note: as soon as the USSR was destroyed, the Baltic states for some reason did not become fully independent. They are included in the structure of NATO and the European Union. That is, joyfully gave their independence into the wrong hands. Explain: what's the difference - to enter the Warsaw Pact or enter the NATO bloc? What is the difference - Latvian soldiers are in Afghanistan as part of the Soviet army or as part of NATO troops? Out of one system - immediately turned out to be included in another. Why? Because states located in key strategic locations cannot be independent. The Baltic was, is and will be a kind of field on which other, much more powerful geopolitical players play. This caused the Lord God, drawing just such a coastline. Therefore, the land civilization will always break through to the Baltic ports, and the civilization of the sea will block these attempts. The land civilization will strive to create friendly states there, and the civilization of the sea will create hostile to it. So independence for the Baltic countries is a conditional concept. They will always be part of a geopolitical entity. Today, it is hosted by the civilization of the sea. The results are obvious: half of the local population has left and works in a foreign land. Is it possible to preserve culture? I doubt it. I remember that in Soviet times you come to Estonia and you feel at every step a national flavor. I recently visited there again: hamburgers, cheesecakes ... When these three republics were part of the land civilization, they were the flagship there - it was brilliance, chic, the personification of the West, the rest of the republic looked at them with interest and even with a little envy. And as part of the civilization of the sea today, they turned into backyards, the outskirts, to which no one cares. However, your location is so interesting that you will have to face a choice more than once.
Still change.
- The information in your books is sometimes so amazing that you wonder: how did the author get it?
The most interesting thing is that a huge amount of information is in the public domain. You just need to be able to find and analyze it. Yes, in the British archives, no one researcher does not penetrate. But the answers to the main secrets are not found there either, because there are no protocols for serious events, no receipts are left. The activities of a history researcher are in many ways similar to the activities of an investigator. After all, it is rare for a criminal to leave material evidence at a crime scene. And even more rarely, when he stands near the victim with a bloody knife. Nevertheless, the criminals are found - by circumstantial evidence, by whoever benefits the crime, with the help of witnesses. Find and plant. When the state acts as a criminal, it has immeasurably more opportunities to cover its tracks. Therefore, crises, revolutions, political assassinations, organization of wars with other states are disguised and hidden much better than the crime of any serial maniac or criminal gang. However, here, as in forensic science, someone always saw something, heard something, remembered and wrote in his memoirs. Statistics confirmed something. In the archives of the press additional details flashed. And now - compare and draw conclusions. I am sure that with the availability of facts and analytical skills, not only I, but also my readers, can independently unravel the most convoluted tangles of history.
