How Stalin defeated the "fifth column" and saved the people from defeat in the Great Patriotic War
One of the main merits of Joseph Stalin was the elimination of the “fifth column” on the eve of World War II. Therefore, when the Hitlerite "European Union" attacked the Soviet Union, our enemies could not destroy the Red Army, causing a military insurrection and a series of uprisings in the Soviet rear. The Soviet Union turned out to be a single and powerful monolith, and not a “colossus with feet of clay,” as our enemies mistakenly believed.
Imagine that Trotsky won in the USSR with his idea of "super-industrialization" or Bukharin with the idea of developing a new economic policy. In the first case, Russia would have been overwhelmed, especially given the waste of mass of forces on the "world revolution." In the second case, when the country had to continue to develop in an evolutionary, mainly agrarian way, purchasing equipment and technology abroad for gold, other values and grain, during World War II, industrially developed and militarized Japan and Germany would simply crush the agrarian with the beginnings of the USSR industry . During the war with Germany, supplies of equipment and technologies on her part would be blocked, stocks quickly ran out, and possible supplies from England and the United States did not cover all needs. Its industry was in its infancy and could not provide the Red Army with everything necessary. As a result, the disaster was secured. The motorized Wehrmacht easily destroyed the inactive Red Army in border battles and captured Leningrad and Moscow, Japan captured the Far East. The implementation of the plans of Hitler's Germany (and the founders of this project) to eliminate the super-ethnos of the Rus from the planet Earth would begin.
At the same time, when World War II began, if Stalin had not eliminated the “fifth column”, the country could have a military rebellion led by Tukhachevsky and other disloyal Soviet authorities commanders, pests of all stripes struck at different levels of the military organization.
In Central Asia, there remained the gangs of basmachs, which, when the Wehrmacht attacked Leningrad, Moscow and Kiev, would have struck in Central Asia and created an enemy bridgehead in the rear. On the territory of Western Ukraine, Bandera (Ukrainian nationalists) are organizing an anti-Soviet uprising on the eve of the war. As a result, the losses of the Red Army will increase, and the advance of the Wehrmacht in the south-western strategic direction will be easier.
In the Baltics, the Forest Brothers will hand over information to the Germans about the location and strength and numbers of units of the Red Army units in the region and will hit the rear of the Soviet troops. As a result of the joint operation of the Wehrmacht and the Baltic nationalists, supported by local national authorities, who did not “clean out” before the war, the Baltic States would fall instantly. Leningrad will not have time to prepare for defense. The USSR in the shortest possible time will lose the second capital.
The state apparatus infected with corruption, as well as the party apparatus, full of “Trotskyists” and “right deviators”, paralyze the activity of the state and party machinery with the outbreak of war. Officials and party members will be engaged in saving their skin and embedding it in the “new reality”, the masses will go to the service of the invaders. The system of work of the rear and railways will be paralyzed, the evacuation of industry, reserves and valuables from the western regions of the country will be disrupted. Red Army will be deprived of supplies weapons, ammunition, food, fuel and other materials. The formation of new divisions and militia will be torn down. It is clear that in such a situation the Red Army, despite the heroic resistance of individual formations, and the skillful actions of part of the generals, will be doomed to defeat.
Thus, it is obvious that the presence of the “fifth column” in the Soviet Union would have led to the guaranteed defeat of the USSR-Russia and the death of the Russian civilization. However, Stalin and his comrades, thanks to a series of attacks on the “fifth column”, were able to avoid the realization of this terrible scenario.
More information about the elimination of the "fifth column" in Stalin's USSR can be read in a number of works, for example, in the books of A. Sever "The Mystery of Stalin's Repressions", "Stalin against the" degenerates of the Arbat ". 10 Stalin strikes on the "fifth column", "Stalin's Anti-Corruption Committee", "The Great Mission of the NKVD", V. Kozhinova "The Truth of Stalinist Repressions", D. Lyskova "The Forbidden Truth About" Stalinist Repressions ". “Children of the Arbat” are lying! ”, G. Smirnov“ Cleansing the army ”and the works of other authors who restore the true history Stalin's empire.
One of the examples of the liquidation of the “fifth column” in the USSR was the fight against Basmachis. Little is known about this, but all the 1920-1930s in the USSR were tensely fighting against basmachis (from the Turkic “Basmak” - “to raid, attack”). This Islamist gangster movement emerged after the 1917 revolution of the year in the territory of Turkestan and after the national disengagement, continued in the territories of modern Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan. Basmacy consisted of three main elements - gangsters together with professional “mercenaries”, feudal nobility and reactionary clergy, dissatisfied with the loss of control over the local population, which means loss of money flows. The external forces that were interested in Basmachis were Turkish and British intelligence services. It was Ankara and London that not only financed the Basmachis, but also supplied modern weapons, provided military advisers, consultants on various issues. One of the leaders of the Young Turkish Party “Unity and Progress” and Turkey during the First World War Enver Pasha was one of the most famous Turkish politicians who tried to lead the Basmachs of Bukhara and Khiva and parts of Turkestan. In February 1922, led by Enver Pasha, the Basmak troops captured Dushanbe, then occupied almost the entire territory of Eastern Bukhara and much of the west of the emirate. However, the Red Army defeated the Basmachis. Enver Pasha was hacked to death in battle.
After the middle of the 1930-s all the major Basmach forces were destroyed and their leaders died or moved away from active work, they emigrated, the situation in the region was not yet completely stable. Security officers regularly recorded cases of murder or assassination, sabotage and sabotage. Killed rural communists, activists of the Soviet government. With the help of deliberate arson, the fields of grain crops were destroyed, the property of state and collective farms was destroyed. The struggle against the inveterate Basmachi went on - the Basmachis invaded from the territory of Afghanistan and China. On the eve of the war, anti-Soviet elements in Central Asia became more active, the number of invasions from the territory of Afghanistan and China increased (China at that time was not a state with a single power and did not control the border). British intelligence continued to carry out anti-Soviet activities in adjacent territories, supporting forces hostile to the USSR. Only after the start of the war with Germany did Britain freeze its anti-Soviet activities in the region and even helped the USSR fight German agents.
Even before the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, German intelligence had intensified its activities in the territory of Afghanistan. For this, German specialists and instructors who worked in construction sites, enterprises, in the Afghan army and educational institutions were used. German intelligence participated in the creation of gangs of white immigrants and Basmachs. They committed armed provocations on the Soviet border, attacked border guards and tried to invade our territory. Initially, the German leadership actively recruited anti-Soviet leaders to create from them, after the occupation of Central Asia by the Wehrmacht, the future occupation administration, which would allow Germany to master these lands. After finally failing the idea of a “blitzkrieg”, Berlin tried to organize a series of major uprisings in Central Asia with the help of the Basmachis. However, the separatists could not organize a major uprising. Their structures were crushed.
In addition, the Germans created military and reconnaissance units from among Soviet citizens - people from the Caucasian and Central Asian republics. In Berlin, the so-called "Turkestan National Committee" was created, with its help they formed the "Turkestan Legion". But these formations did not have much combat significance. Mostly these national formations were used to fight the Yugoslav, Italian and Albanian partisans.
Thus, in the pre-war years, the Soviet government was able to deliver a decisive blow to the Basmach movement, and it could not, even with external support, organize a major uprising in Central Asia. Not only the activities of the Chekists, border guards and the Red Army, but also socio-economic, cultural and educational growth in Central Asian regions played a major role in this matter. Soviet power was beneficial to the overwhelming majority of the population of Central Asia, bringing them security, order, stability, prosperity and growth of cultural and educational potential.
In a similar way, Moscow acted in Western Ukraine and in the Baltic States. In 1939, thanks to Stalin, Ukraine received the current borders - the central and eastern regions were merged with the western ones. The main adversary in the west of Ukraine was the OUN - the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists. The first attempts to organize an anti-Soviet uprising in Western Ukraine were carried out by the OUN fighter at the end of 1939. Chekists foiled her by arresting gangsters near 900.
Since the beginning of 1940, the breakthroughs of the Ukrainian militants have been intensified, behind which stood German intelligence agencies operating from the territory of Poland occupied by Germany. By the spring of 1940, about 1 thousand thugs had penetrated the territory of the USSR. At the end of spring - the beginning of summer 1940, a new anti-Soviet uprising was appointed in Western Ukraine. However, the KGB learned about this and delivered a preemptive strike, arresting hundreds of militants, most of them were leaders at various levels. The maximum blow was inflicted on Lviv, Ternopil, Rovno and Volyn organizations. A large number of weapons were seized. The uprising was stalled.
The OUN leadership moved it to the fall of 1940 of the year. And again, the security forces delivered a preemptive strike! In August-September, more than 1 thousand thugs were arrested, about a hundred of underground groups and organizations were liquidated, a large number of weapons were seized. Uprising again foiled. It was revealed that the Ukrainian nationalists hoped that after the uprising they would receive the help of foreign forces. It is also worth noting that, thanks to the effective activity of the Soviet law enforcement agencies, it was possible to prevent a surge of banditry in the territory of Western Ukraine in the 1940 year.
In the winter of 1940-1941, the KGB delivered a new blow to the Ukrainian nationalist-gangster underground. About 1 thousand people were arrested. OUN management tried to compensate for the loss by sending a new asset. During the winter of 1940-1941, over one hundred attempts were made to break through the state border of the USSR, most of which ended in failure for the OUN fighters. At the beginning of 1941, the OUN began to prepare a new uprising. Terrorist activities have intensified, the number of acts of sabotage and sabotage has increased. However, the Soviet law enforcement agencies foiled an attempt to revolt in Western Ukraine on the eve of the war. Hundreds of gangsters and militants were arrested and convicted, hundreds were evicted, some were killed during the arrest. During 1940-1941 of the year, 400 from emissaries arrived from abroad were arrested, 200 reconnaissance and sabotage groups that tried to break through the border were eliminated.
In the same way and very effectively, quickly and decisively, the Soviet leadership acted in other directions. Stalin and his comrades struck powerful and crushing blows at various detachments of the “fifth column”, which made it possible to avoid serious problems in the rear during the Great Patriotic War.
