About a warm understanding between Lukashenko, Poroshenko and ... Bandera.
In the entire post-Soviet space, the name of the Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko is respected and respected. Not least due to the fact that he, despite the sometimes very difficult foreign policy situation and the economic difficulties caused by it, is always able to provide a decent life for the citizens of his country.
But then the war began in the South-East of Ukraine and Alexander Grigorievich as if they were substituted: in the words of the unforgettable Taras Bulba, he literally began to “mess around” with the Kiev junta ... And this is when, in the cities of the burning Donbass, civilians died at the hands of the punishers in Kiev, and hundreds of thousands of survivors flee to Russia.
Without the permission of "But father", no dog will bark ...
In Belarus, they rightly say that "without the permission of" But father, "no dog will bark ...". Thus, the point of view of the official state media of Belarus can rightly be considered the point of view of the Belarusian president himself.
So, these media present dramatic events in the South-East of Ukraine as a result of the internal political squabbles of short-sighted politicians and conflicts between oligarchs, who are once again trying to redistribute property.
At the same time, it is not possible to learn about the true causes of the uprising in the Donbass region, the crimes of the Nazi-Bandera Kiev junta, the struggle of the people of Donbass against the Kiev punitive troops. For a long time, the Belarusian TV channels called separatists to militia in Kiev’s tone and only recently switched to a more correct one — the rebels.
There is not only an all-out desire to deprive fellow citizens of the right to the truth, but also the desire to impose blame for inciting hatred between the Slav brothers equally on the Ukrainian and Russian media.
Here is just one example of such a “warm attitude” to the Kiev junta: so, the newspaper “Sovetskaya Belorussia” 19 August 2014 g .:
- Yesterday, Ukrainian media reported terrible news: A column of refugees in the Luhansk region was shelled from mortars and Grad multiple rocket launchers. In the information center of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, responsibility for this was laid on the rebels. There are many victims, their exact number is being specified ...
Thus, she fully quoted the official Kiev's messages, without even bothering to check the accuracy of this delusional information.
In the same way, the Belarusian mass media quotes in large quantities the reports of the Kiev officialdom about how the militia themselves allegedly bombard those cities that they protect.
And let it be that no one believes in this feverish deception, except the authors themselves, Kiev journalists and some of the utterly foolish people in Central and Western Ukraine ... It seems that President Lukashenko is very necessary to preserve the "friendship" with the Kiev junta so that ... Why? , that is the question?
The answer, unfortunately, is obvious: all the assurances of loyalty to Russia and statements about unity with the Russian people, repeatedly voiced by Lukashenko, are in fact a disguise. As before, the Belarusian president probably expects to receive concrete material benefits in exchange for gradual changes in his position regarding the assessment of Kiev’s crimes and the reduction of his support.
And at this time for many years in Belarus distort and distort history, extolled by the Polish kings and Lithuanian princes. It is significant that the number of references to the mass heroism of Soviet citizens on the territory of Belarus during the Great Patriotic War decreases every year, and the official media prefer to say expressions like “Belarusian people”, “Belarusian partisans”, “citizens of Belarus”, etc. Dos to the point that this year on the Victory Day in Belarus “it was not recommended” to use St. George symbols.
Of course, in Belarus, all this Russophobic activity is not as aggressive as in Ukraine. But this activity is conducted very systematically, using the entire state mechanism, which makes it effective.
After all that has been said, it is not at all surprising that President Alexander Lukashenko does not notice, or at least pretends not to notice, Nazi symbols on the banners of Ukrainian punitive battalions and the neo-Nazi rhetoric of the Kiev authorities ...
But what is absolutely outrageous, he prefers not to notice that there is a humanitarian catastrophe in the cities of the South-East of Ukraine: even in those days when Ukraine tried its best to prevent the Russian humanitarian convoy to Lugansk and Donetsk, the official Minsk kept silent. And, of course, he still does not even provide moral support to the belligerent Donetsk and Lugansk ...
Blood and ash
Meanwhile, this behavior of the Belarusian president seems altogether blasphemous, if we recall the history of the atrocities of the Ukrainian punitive battalions on the territory of the republic during the Great Patriotic War.
This is what Alexey Litvin, Doctor of Historical Sciences, writes about them in his work “Blood and Ashes”:
- In numerous documents and materials on the history of the partisan movement and the underground struggle in the republic there is information about the so-called “Ukrainian” police officers who acted in Minsk and throughout Belarus.
In the summer of 1941 in Minsk, a separate police battalion of 910 people was formed from among the prisoners of Ukrainian nationality released from the camps of Minsk and the surrounding area.
From the documents available in the National Archives of the Republic of Belarus, it can be seen that already on July 10, a police battalion of 1941 people was formed in BN. 481, mainly from the Ukrainian military and those who pretended to be Ukrainians. In August, the battalion arrived in Minsk. It was located in the former art school at Komarovka and was originally called the 1-m battalion, and then was renamed the 41-th. Somewhat later, in Minsk, the 2 th “worker” battalion was formed from the Ukrainians - later the 42 th. Both numbered 1086 people.
On the territory of Belarus on 1 July 1942, there were 13 shutzmanshaftbatalonov total number of more than 7,5 thousand people. These are 3, 12 and 15 are Lithuanian; 18, 24, 26, 266 “E” - Latvian; 46-th, 47-th, 48-th "E", 104-th, 201-th - Ukrainian; 36 is Estonian.
In October, 1941, the 1-th company of the 41-th battalion took part in the execution of the Jews. In Moscow, this fact became known from the Minsk underground activist R. M. Bromberg, who, together with the N. M. Nikitin partisan brigade, in the autumn of 1942, went into the disposition of the Soviet troops.
According to A. V. Larionov, “The 42 Battalion, in part, went to work on the railway all winter, cleared the snow, unloaded and loaded the wagons. During the winter period, both battalions were armed several times and then disarmed, which was explained by the unstable moral and psychological state of the personnel. Until May 1942, there were no mass transitions to the partisan detachment. The massive transition began in May 1942. Both battalions were commanded by Zalevsky - the organizer of the Ukrainian battalions. Zalevsky - junior lieutenant of the Red Army, Yaschenko acted along with him, it seems, the quartermaster. The whole garrison was headed by German Gummer, who spoke Russian well. According to rumors, he is the captain of the Red Army, who emigrated to Germany in 1939
year.
The following repressions were applied to the personnel: in October 1941, 12 people drank and began to sing Soviet songs. The Germans put them on the guardhouse, and after flogged them with rods. If someone fails to come to the battalion in time or does not pay honor, they beat them with sticks.
The uniform of the Ukrainian battalions is mainly the Red Army, with the exception of the yellow material on the caps, and later the personnel of the 41 battalion were dressed in Lithuanian uniforms. ”
Here is what was written in the detailed memorandum “On the situation in Minsk”, prepared in January 1943 by the future academician of the Academy of Sciences of the BSSR I. S. Kravchenko, at that time a responsible employee of the Belarusian headquarters of the partisan movement: “In Minsk itself there is a battalion consisting exclusively of Ukrainians numbering up to 700 people.
The moral sustainability of these "volunteers" is extremely fluctuating. In March 1942, as a result of the decomposition of this battalion, part of it fled. Over 150 people were arrested by the Germans and shot. A small battalion is available in Minsk and now. The population treats the soldiers of this battalion with hatred.
For example, these “volunteers” do not sell anything on the market, arguing that bread is not sold to traitors. The population declares: "Let the Germans feed you."
It should be noted that part of the territory of Belarus (some districts of the Brest, Pinsk and Polesye regions) was included in the Reich Commissariat "Ukraine".
There were stationed police battalions, which were subordinate to the highest commander of the SS and the Ukraine-Russia South police.
We list only some facts that are known to us about the activities of the Ukrainian police formations in Belarus.
201-th guard police battalion.
It was created at the end of 1941, from the personnel of the two Ukrainian battalions disbanded in the fall, Nachtigall and Roland. The place of formation of the battalion was Frankfurt (Oder).
The Ukrainians were admitted to the battalion, who agreed to serve the Germans as mercenaries. 1 December 1941 of the year they signed a contract for one year, without taking the oath. In essence, it was a typical German police security force. By the same principle, virtually all the "Eastern" police battalions were organized.
Personnel wore German police uniform and German decals. They were forbidden to use national symbols. In fact, only the Nachtigall and Roland battalions were "real Ukrainian".
In March 1942, the 201 th battalion was sent east, but not to the territory of Ukraine, as volunteers expected, but to Belarus, where, together with other similar formations, he guarded the routes of communication in the Mogilev-Vitebsk-Polotsk triangle and fought against the partisans.
30 September 1942 of the year sixty police officers of the 201 th guard battalion escorted a convoy of ammunition and fuel from Lepel to the Ushachi garrison. North of d. Zary the column was suddenly fired upon. The guards immediately launched a counterattack and destroyed, according to the German report, “51 thug, seized 3 machine guns, explosives, fuses. Own losses were 2 man killed and 5 wounded. "
The commander of the convoy, officer of the 201 Battalion, after the battle, ordered the wounded to be taken by ambulance back to Lepel. To escort, he singled out a 21 police officer in two cars under the command of an officer. South of the village of Zary, the partisans attacked this transport and almost completely destroyed it. Only 9 policemen managed to get through to their own. The results of this fight were analyzed in Berlin for a long time. In a message from G. Himmler to A. Hitler, No. 36 of 3 in November 1942, it was stated:
"Territory Russia" Center ". The results of the battle of the 201 police battalion north of Lepel: Enemy losses - 89 man killed, 20 man injured. Trophies: 4 automatic rifles, 2 mortar, 2 assault rifle, 41 rifle, 200 kg of explosives, 36 min, 130 hand grenades, 10000 ammunition. Own casualties: Killed: - German soldiers 4 and local police 22.
In December 1942, the 201 Battalion was disbanded, and its Ukrainian officers were escorted to Lviv, where they were imprisoned. Some of them, including Roman Shukhevych, managed to escape and join the Ukrainian nationalist forces.
102-th Ukrainian police battalion.
In the autumn and winter of 1942, the 102, 115 and 118 Ukrainian police battalions arrived in Belarus, which received a new numbering (1943, 61, 62) at the end of 63.
The first, as is clear from the diary of the fighting of the 23 German police battalion, on October 24 of 1942, the 102 Ukrainian Police Battalion arrived in Pastavy, which was to replace the 2 company of the Lithuanian police battalion No. 254 "E". 3 November 1942, a Ukrainian police company was deployed in the village of Kozyany, north of Postavy, where a day later partisans attacked and lost 20 people killed.
In May 1943, the 102 Battalion participated in Operation Cottbus. He was given the team SD-3 led by Untersturmführer Gruz. After the operation, the battalion received an order to arrive at Stolbtsy to change the 12 of the Lithuanian police protection battalion in the Uzda-Shatsk-Kopyl area.
115-th Ukrainian police battalion.
According to the history of the Lenin partisan brigade of the Baranavichy region, on October 23, 1942, in the village of Ruda Yavorskaya (Lipichanskaya Pushcha), the 115-th Ukrainian battalion arrived to perform the functions of the police garrison. The guerrillas of the Bulat (“Orlyansky”) and Aleksandrov detachment “utterly routed the nationalists on the night of 25. X.1942 G. "
118-th Ukrainian police battalion.
In December, the 1942 Ukrainian Police Battalion arrived in the territory of the republic 118, formed in Kiev mainly from former Ukrainian prisoners of war [12]. The battalion was commanded by German Erich Körner and a former White Guard officer, a major of the Polish army, Pole Konstantin Smovsky. As in the other shutzmanshaftbatalonahs, the German officers led all of them, teams and orders of which were duplicated by officers and non-commissioned officers from among the former Soviet military personnel. The Germans were also financiers, quartermaster and heads of other non-combat services. Upon arrival at Pleshchenitsy, the post of chief of staff of the battalion instead of Korniyts who escaped to the partisans was occupied by Grigory Vasyura, the former head of communications of the 67-st. Fortification.
From the first days of its appearance until the summer of 1944, the 118 Battalion left its ominous traces on the territory of Belarus. Even before the burning of Khatyn, there were a number of savage operations on his account.
Together with the gendarmerie and the local police, the Ukrainian renegades broke into the village of Chmelevichi, Logoisk district, where they killed three residents and burned 58 houses.
During the next operation, which was led by the battalion chief of staff G. Vasyur and the chief of the 3 company, the Hauptmann, Hans Velke, the 16 residents of the villages of Koteli and Zarechye were killed. 40 homes have been turned to ashes.
The whole world knows about the tragedy of Khatyn. However, for a long time the whole truth was not spoken about her.
It was silent about the fact that the 118-th Ukrainian police battalion was the chief executioner. This was convincingly proved at the trial in Minsk. As in a number of similar operations, in Khatyn the policemen acted shoulder to shoulder with the SS battalion, commanded by the Nazi executioner-sadist Dr. Oscar Dirlivanger.
The 51, 52 and 53 Ukrainian battalions.
The 51 Battalion guarded the peat plants around Minsk, and after Operation Cottbus (May-June 1943 of the year) it was to be replaced by the Lithuanian Police Battalion 12. There is also little information about the 52-m Ukrainian police battalion. It is mainly mentioned in the German force reviews for the 1942-1943 years.
54-th Ukrainian police battalion.
According to 1 on May 1943, it was deployed in Lida. The battalion took part in the punitive operation "Cottbus" and then was incorporated into the 31 police regiment.
55-th Ukrainian shuttsmanshaftbatalon.
According to May 1 and June 28 1943, the battalion was stationed in Mogilev. Submitted to the authorized SS Reichsführer to combat the partisans von dem Bahu-Zelewski.
57-th Ukrainian police battalion.
In May 1943, the battalion took part in the punitive operation “Lightning” and
in particular, in the destruction of the village of Zastarinye, Novogrudsky district. The battalion surrounded the village. The Nazis drove all the inhabitants of the village into houses and burned alive. A total of 287 people were destroyed. The same fate befell the village of Zapolye
and yatra.
After the operation “Cottbus” the battalion was sent to Baranavichy “to protect and harvest the crops and destroy the gangs that appeared there. In all cases, blocking the gang's way to the south "
As it appears from the report of the Pervomaisk partisan brigade of the Baranavichy region for March 1944, the 57-th Ukrainian battalion arrived at the Settlement and the 56-th battery attached to it to the total number of thousands of people. On their basis, together with the local police and the “Samakhovai” (1 people) and the Germans (150 people), a regiment was created. The garrison of the Settlement had 23 wedges, 2 armored vehicles and five 8-millimeter guns.
50-th Ukrainian police battalion.
He also left a trail of blood on the territory of Belarus, although he was stationed in Vilnius. The battalion took part in the major operation “Winter Magic” against partisans and the population of the Rossony-Osveisk partisan zone in the Sebezh-Osveya-Polotsk triangle (Drissensky, Osvey, Polotsk and Rossony districts), which was carried out in February-March 1943. The purpose of the operation was to create a “neutral zone” 40 km wide on the border of Latvia and Belarus.
The fighting took place from February 14 to March 20 1943. The operation involved ten police battalions, eight of which were Latvian, as well as Lithuanian 2 and Ukrainian 50, motorized units of gendarmerie, communications and artillery, special purpose 2 group. From the north and south, the area of operation was surrounded by units of the 201 th guard and 391 th training and field divisions.
In the report on the operation in detail, by day and hour, you can trace the activities of almost every unit. In total, 3500 local residents were destroyed and burned alive during the operation, 2000 people were hijacked to hard labor in Germany, more than 1000 children were sent to the Salaspils death camp (Latvia). 158 settlements were looted and burned, including the villages of Abrazeevo, Aniskovo, Buly, Zhernoseki, Kaluta, Konstantinovo, Paportnoye, Sokolovo and others burned down with people. Khatyn was destroyed two days after the completion of this operation - March 22 1943.
During the “Winter Magic”, very brutal methods were used to clear mines and roads.
The Nazis drove ahead of themselves on a mined road or minefield a crowd of local people, forced the surrounding residents to harrow dangerous areas. There are numerous cases of death or injury of the local population during these barbaric actions.
According to reports, on November 18 of the year 1942, a Ukrainian police battalion also took part in a punitive action on the territory of Belarus.
The materials of archival funds unequivocally testify: the Ukrainian police formations have stained themselves with grave bloody crimes on the Belarusian land.
Why is the blood of the victims of Ukrainian punishers not beating in the heart of Alexander Lukashenko?
It is significant that it is practically impossible to get any point of view from Belarusian officials on their assessment of the activities of the Ukrainian, as well as Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian punitive police battalions in the territory of Belarus during the Great Patriotic War: “this topic is undesirable because it can harm bilateral relations "...
But back to today.
With the so-called Ukrainian “president” Petro Poroshenko, everything is clear: he has become a worthy successor to the ideology and affairs of Stepan Bandera.
Under his leadership, the strategy of Hitler's warriors to destroy the peaceful population of the surrounding cities was creatively reworked and: if the fascists bombed Leningrad and bombarded it with heavy guns, they also tried to prevent food from being delivered to the besieged city, Poroshenkov’s punitive troops now use Grady, "Hurricanes", "Tornado" and tactical missiles "Tochka-U". And do not miss the humanitarian convoys.
The undoubted "know-how" of modern Ukrainian kkarately is the use of reconnaissance and sabotage groups in cars armed with mortars that move around the besieged cities, shelling civilians. Probably Adolf Hitler would just die of envy if he were alive ...
All this happens under the slogans: "Glory to Ukraine!", "Glory to the Heroes!", "Ukraine need a mustache!", "Death to the enemies", with which the Ukrainian nationalists committed their crimes.
But if Stepan Bandera and Roman Shukhevych killed in the past, Petro Poroshenko, having adopted their ideology and methods, killed in the present, how did the Belarusian president turn out to be in this “company”?
After all, it is simply impossible to assess his current policy with respect to Neo-Bandera Kiev ...
And why the blood of the victims of Ukrainian punishers does not knock in the heart of Alexander Lukashenko?
