In the city of Hiroshima, a ceremony was held to commemorate those who died as a result of atomic bombing, reports RIA "News".

Ceremony of the atomic bombing victims was held in Hiroshima


“Japan must continue to remain a peaceful state and follow the path of peace. The atomic bomb, which deprived children of the love of their families and their very future, is an absolute evil, ”said Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui in his speech.

The solemn ceremony on the 69 anniversary of the tragedy took place in the Park of the World. It was attended by members of the government, deputies of parliament, as well as representatives of 68 countries, who laid wreaths at the memorial memorial. Exactly in 8.15 (3.15 in Moscow time) - the hour when the atomic bomb fell on the city, a minute of silence was announced.

In August, 1945, the US government decided to drop atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. The explosion and its aftermath killed 140 thousands of people in Hiroshima, and 74 thousands in Nagasaki. Most of them were civilians. Since then, the Japanese authorities annually hold the “Ceremonies of Peace” 6 and 9 of August - on the anniversary of the tragic events.

Since 2011, the mayor of Hiroshima began to urge in his speech not only to get rid of the atomic weaponsbut also stop nuclear power plants. However, this year for the first time he did not touch upon the problem of safety of nuclear power plants, since he had to resume the work of the stopped stations.

        This is the whole paradox. How are we Russians and different from overseas masters ?: this is not acceptable for us. They don’t understand that not everything in this world can be put up for sale. They probably forgot such simple at first glance words: honor, conscience, dignity, pride. .., I do not understand the samurai.

        Again the same notorious propaganda! Many young Japanese are sure that the Russians dropped bombs! We must not concede to the strategic enemies of Russia on the information front!

          In addition to propaganda, I would have noticed how the West changed the mentality of the Japanese, and this is much more important than all human and economic losses, these are weapons of a different order! Who were the Japonians proud proud purposeful people, who believed in their own path, in their important role in the universe .. And what are the Japanese now? There were people who considered honor above all, knowing that it was necessary to honor the homeland, their loved ones, the generation that was the power of Japan was leaving, and they were being replaced by a new generation washed by propaganda, with minimized morality and psyche, the United States and its values ​​and image are now in idols life, it’s all over samurai there isn’t any of that spirit left in cinema, I used to work at the same company from the first to the last day, from here the legendary quality of Japanese things was taken, and now? On the example of Japan, we see how it is possible to completely change the country in the direction that the customer needs, and it is very dangerous, having castrated Japan to the West now does the same with Scandinavia, Germany and other non-Anglo-Saxon countries, but the ultimate goal is naturally Russia will be honed with the tried and tested technology there mass withdrawal of consciousness of people, Ukraine is only the first step ..

        They ate this pride after the war with shit. Realizing that the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima and not Nagasaku is a terrible evil! But even today they did not realize how evil for all is the country that invented and used this bomb. Although, the need for a bomb did not exist. Americans intimidated the Japanese.

        They seriously think that Russia bombed them.

        What is there to be surprised. The USA and Japan stand each other.
        For example, about the cynicism of Western propaganda. Textbooks published in Japan under the control of the American authorities during the years of the post-war occupation describe atomic bombing so that it is difficult to understand who and how used weapons of mass destruction in peaceful cities. As a result, recent opinion polls in Japan show that a significant portion of Japanese youth believe that the nuclear bombings were a kind of natural disaster, such as a tsunami, and not a consequence of the Americans' conscious desire to do the most damage to Japan. And even that the country was not bombed by the United States, but by the Red Army, no more and no less.

        And in general, today's claims of Japan, which lost the war, are not addressed at all to the Americans, who, in violation of the rules of war, used weapons of mass destruction and indiscriminately destroyed more than 400 thousand civilians, but to Russia, which did not violate the Hague or Geneva conventions. And for some reason, not from the USA, but from Russia, the Japanese today demand repentance and the return of the territories lost during the war.

        Moreover, Japan itself did not formally apologize to the peoples of Asia for using hundreds of thousands of their women, whom the Japanese army carried for their regiments to serve soldiers. And from the history books, references to the crimes of the Japanese military in China, Singapore and the Philippines were removed. And the ashes of Japanese war criminals executed by decision of the Tokyo process are buried in the sacred temple of Yasukuni, where the country's current prime ministers go to worship.

          What is surprising is the "forgetfulness" of the Japanese. Totally agree with you. The regime was doing complete chaos and genocide of peoples in Asia. We got what they deserved. Many of our soldiers were killed in the fields in the fight against Japanese fascism. There was, of course, a political moment in these bombings. By this, the States "noticed" to Stalin who was the boss (although the Yankees at that time had only two bombs). Until 1949, until the USSR created its own bomb, the Amers had a strong trump card. hi

      It is a pity that at such a high level, officials are trying to erase from the memory of the descendants, whose atomic bomb was. Are they afraid of the Amrikan rage? Those who are afraid will then lick their heels. In the nineties, "ours" were also ready to lick. Thank God that in 2000 the GDP was at the helm.

      I think the point was huge. A great confrontation began. It is no coincidence that the targets of the bombing were not military targets. The bombs were detonated at a height of several hundred meters for the mass destruction of the "aspirants to dominance in Asia." Act of intimidation of the USSR.

A short memory from the Japanese — soon a new history of Japan will be written for them in the US editorial office where they will indicate in an accessible form in all Russia is guilty of troubles, and a little China, for decency, and the Japanese will believe in this lie

    According to the "bushido" code, the Japanese, having lost the war, must make a choice: either to commit sepuko (hara-kiri) or to completely and unconditionally obey in soul and body their new master, who won this war. Few people know, but after the emperor recognized Japan and its people as having lost the Second World War, he and millions of Japanese knelt down and uttered the words of a sacred prayer, an oath of allegiance to his new master, the winner, the United States. It was the United States, not the allies, let alone the USSR. Some of the Japanese took a different path - they committed hara-kiri, there were, according to various estimates, from 60 to 90 thousand people. So that Japan will follow in the wake of the US policy and carry out the will of its master, the United States, until this master himself says that he is releasing his vassal-Japan to all four sides or ceases to exist as a state, as you understand Both are practically unattainable in the foreseeable future.

    That’s a fantastic reason that actually disappears in the incitement of hatred and distrust of the United States both from Japan and from other countries.
    After all, all that is needed is to agree with several journalists, conduct an investigation, find some new informational reasons and support this process. So that little Japanese (and adults too) truly feel that the USA used them as rabbits in experiments. That he is not his friend.
