The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation organized a virtual exhibition of declassified documents of the first days of World War II.

The main defense department of Russia declassified archival documents containing the details of the first days of the Great Patriotic War. A virtual exhibition has been organized on the official website of the Ministry of Defense, which was called the “First Day of War” and which allows site visitors to familiarize themselves with the documents of the Central Archive of the Moscow Region.

From the message posted on the website of the Ministry of Defense:

Internet users will be interested in the first published handwritten original of the Order of the People's Commissar for Defense No. 2 of 22.06.1941, in which, following the results of the first meeting with top military, political and government officials, the order of urgent steps to repel perfidious aggression was defined.

In total, the format of the virtual exhibition presented about a hundred documents that for many years were not available to the general public. Considerable interest can cause not only domestic documents, but also captured German materials. From the trophy documents, visitors to the exhibition will be able to learn about the reports of Hitler’s military about the stubborn resistance of the Red Army fighters, about the courage and heroism of Soviet soldiers. The exhibition presents maps with notes of command.

The plans of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation are declassifying documents, from which many interesting things can be learned about the activities of the USSR allies during the Second World War. One of the directions of the upcoming new exhibition is a meeting on the Elbe, which is 25 on April 2015, marks 70 years.

The exhibition "The First Day of War" can be visited by clicking on the link to MO website.

It’s time to declassify all the documents concerning V.O.V. Then maybe there will be fewer freaks who want to fight with Russia.

By the way, about the "allies" - whose allies were they?

[bort4145]

Oh, how many secrets will be revealed in the next five years! Many documents of special importance have a signature stamp with a term of 70 years. So the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory is an extremely important milestone in the history of the world. It’s only a pity that many war criminals have already died in warm American beds

[Vend]

I read some documents. I confess I did not understand why they had to be classified.

[Volgarr]

Many expected the British to declassify documents on R. Hess's flight to England. The British extended the term of secrecy, and now our generation will not find out why Hitler’s closest ally flew over, what did he offer to the British. So we have - plenty of secrets that are too early to reveal!

Basically - Latin American, like others. Mengele. And Eichmann lived in Argentina - he didn’t grieve until his Mossad figured out. And also - in Egyptian and Syrian, in particular, Eichmann’s deputy Alois Brunner, there Mossad could not get them, although you can’t say that they didn’t try, the same Brunner was shot out and his fingers were torn off with a bomb letter. And in America, except for techies such as Werner Brown, who can only be called Nazi criminals with a stretch, they were not given asylum. Although the British would gladly hang Brown for shelling London with rockets of his design V-2.
And those who crawled into America by deceit, such as Demjanjuk, were denied citizenship by exposing and sent to the place of the crime.
So, after all, the USSR also attracted German specialists to business, in particular, the same Schmeiser made a store for AK-47. It seems like a trifle, but Kalashnikov did not succeed, there were frequent delays due to the skew of the cartridge at the exit from the store. And on whom hangs more corpses, on Brown or on Schmeiser, this is still to count.

in 1998 there was an order to write off communications technology (Moscow, in my opinion, communications of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, I could be mistaken), it was the basis for automatic decommissioning of communications equipment.
- 1 point was "Two-wheeled cart on a bicycle ride for transporting carrier pigeons" adopted in 1928, then all sorts of Bodos, Schleggings, etc.
Ie in translation into a normal language (not rear !!!) - somewhere in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation at the time of issuing the order, this thing was listed nomenclature !!!! or maybe alive ...

[I read the news]

In vain they wrote off, could still come in handy. Stock pocket does not pull. Not stilettos of course, but looking at every daw is also a pain.

NOT everything is necessary, and so have already been declassified. WE have not yet become acquainted with everyone declassified. The British, 300 years ago, do not declassify documents, we also need to be careful about our secrets.

[sas123]

You can’t declassify everything. There is something from which the hair turns gray.

[Decathlon]

Ah, 20-25 years ago, all this had to be done! Maybe there would be no generation of "young liberals" ...

[avvg]

All the same, even the facts, the liberals will not be convinced (F. Dostoevsky spoke well of them) that the leadership of the country headed by Stalin was not at a loss, in the first days of the war, they organized forces and means to repel the attack of depleted Europe under the command of Germany.

[oldbuddy]

Only in Podolsk, TsAMO stores about 10 million files related to the period of the Great Patriotic War. I emphasize: cases, not separate documents. Cases are different - there are one or three sheets, and there are also 500-600 sheets, and the "sheet" does not always mean an A4 page
According to conservative estimates - about a billion A4 sheets

Declassification of documents is a good thing. The main thing is that people with brains do this, and then one harm can happen.

You tell the English that, otherwise the poor fellows do not know about it. The documents on the flight of Rudolf Hes in May 1941 were not declassified to visit them, they were postponed for another 50 years. And so that the old Nazi did not blurt out something superfluous - he "hung himself" (oh, how!).
By the way! Berezovsky did the same thing when he was about to tell the Dark One about GB's undercover fuss.

History is a weapon. There are too many secrets that you simply don’t need to know. How sometimes it is inappropriately to search for the truth. A simple example.

smart people in the 47th year searched for the truth but left everything as it is. Maybe I'm wrong, but in this case the legend is much more useful. And it would be nice to find out if the truth is the enemy of truth.

[Vyacheslav]

Complete nonsense. Some far-fetched arguments, not a single direct evidence. I have a question for the author of the video. If there were no heroes of Panfilov’s, then who stopped the fascists? P / Colonel in the video clearly said that if there was a breakthrough, then the Germans were in Moscow. The guns were but they are old and do not pose a threat to the tanks, and anti-tank rifles, yes, but there were three of them. What kind of guns, probably from a museum of the Middle Ages. In general, complete nonsense.

[Vyacheslav]

And yet, the author of the video claims that the feats no less heroic than the Panfilov’s feat were enough. So why did the war correspondent have to invent something?

[toad]

Imagine for a moment that the authors of the newspaper notes told the truth. This truth can only be published by enemies. Is such a truth necessary and need to know it?

My grandfather was left alone with the gun. He brought the languages. The hero was not given - Tatar. The medal for courage - the medical orderly officer also - took three wounded. This is to say that so many exploits are silenced, that the invention of one in a hundred or a thousand has the right and place to be. So the feat of Panfilov’s is a summary idea of ​​the force that moved our fighters on the battlefield. Was this feat invented? But hundreds of others are silent. So no one dares to touch the feat of the Panfilov’s. This is a symbol of the courage of our people. And for those historians, I would have broken my teeth. Although I am a peaceful person. For instead of looking for the truth, they are looking for the truth. It is paid unambiguously.

[vlade99]

Will we wait for the disclosure of documents about the attack with the robbery of red on the Soviet people?

[KBR109]

This had to be done many decades earlier. With the exception of individual documents. Unfortunately, time is lost. The layers of liberals have grown, matured and entered into force.

[kelevra]

It would be nice to declassify the execution lists of senior generals and officers who were shot in the 37s and 40s. Nevertheless, this information can shed light on whether they were guilty or not. It is because of the majority of those hidden in dungeons and shot-down generals and commanders, we lost so much of our territory, panicking away!

[KBR109]

Honestly, this is not a secret for a long time, at least since 1999. Maybe even a little earlier. Seek ye ye find.

Yes, exactly. Were Tukhachevsky alive and K * would drive the Fritz back in the 41st. Huge tank armada, dissecting strikes. 100 thousand tanks is a force. Nonsense, that various, albeit many light and armor-piercing bullets make their way. But 100 thousand!

[reut.sib]

I completely agree about the generals and commanders! And a little off topic - literally an hour ago I watched a movie("Pay" Film-video studio "Risk" 1991 year. The text is read by Y. Belyaev) a lot of questions arise! first days World War II and our story, just look and listen to what the announcer says. You do not need any pluses or minuses.

[Boos]

And I do not agree, everyone is looking for something that interests him. And to refer to the filmmaker swearing my Motherland, filmed by prostitutes with Western money, is the top of frivolity. You still refer to Mikhalkov's nonsense!

[ivan.ru]

these lists are. and there are few real generals and "commanders" there, mainly the NKVD, military prosecutors, commissars and other political fighters and punishers

[Mama_Cholli]

Psaki began to relax a lot ... I need to organize some kind of interactive exhibition or help organize it to Snowden.

Almost unreadable photos with a description of the document. Oh cunning in the Ministry. I was naive waiting for detailed scans.

And what did you want to see there?! I looked and didn’t see anything new. A handwritten version of the directive?! And so? You need to start about the beginning of the war from about May 1, 1941. And not with NGOs and General Staff, but with divisions and corps ... .. that they had on the ground ..... what they reported in the last peace month and how they were ready.

[Mordvin 3]

All will not be declassified. Nobody and never. Everyone tried to negotiate with Hitler. It’s easier to destroy, forget, and keep silent. And then shame does not turn around.

The main thing is that all these documents should not only be open for general use but also used in training. Our children should know how much this VICTORY went to our country.

[Vadim2013]

It was high time to declassify the documents of the first months of the Second World War. Military historians should analyze them. The truth is necessary about the tragic for the USSR 1941

[I read the news]

Military historians have appropriate accesses and admissions to domestic and foreign funds.
