      "Putin noted that the open memorial" will reflect the common position the inadmissibility of distorting and rewriting history»

      But what about Putin’s position in Katyn?

      Putin, speaking at a joint press conference after negotiations with Tusk (April 2010), stated that Joseph Stalin out of revenge ordered the execution of Polish troops in Katyn.
      “I think this is my personal opinion that Stalin felt his personal responsibility for the tragedy (associated with the Soviet-Polish military conflict in the 20s) and carried out this execution out of a sense of revenge,” Putin said.

      In my opinion, all sane people who delved into this matter not only according to media reports have no doubts about the execution of Polish officers by the Germans.
      The Goebbels case lives and wins.

        Stalin did not take revenge, he destroyed the officer corps. To avoid attempts at rebellion among the soldiers. This experience he gained during the civil war, on the example of the Czechoslovakia corps.

          When will we erect monuments to those killed in the First World War in Russia? Or are we still living according to Leninist laws? The imperialist war and soldiers do not deserve memory? Lenin dispersed the historical faculties at our universities, the history of the Russian people did not impress him. And Stalin reinstated in 1930, apparently realized that it is impossible to make defenders of the Fatherland from Ivanov who do not remember their kinship. Which was proved in the fall of 41. And they remembered about the church and about the icons, the war passed and again began to destroy the memory of the Russian people.

            Yes, against the backdrop of the almost complete absence of such monuments in Russia, the opening of the Memorial in ... Slovenia looks like a public relations event.

            Exist granite cross monument on the site of the first official Fraternal Cemetery of Russian soldiers-defenders of the Fatherland near Tsarskoye Selo.

            The cemetery itself was demolished by bulldozers with a commode, on the part of the cemetery .... gardens were laid out.

            It was demolished because it was opened at the initiative of the Empress, who, along with her daughters, accompanied the soldiers who died from wounds on their last journey. They looked after the graves. It was necessary to etch the memory of them.

            You and "remembered", and only about one of the many monarchs of pre-revolutionary centuries-old Russia - the last, and only to create by you an anti-Soviet myth "how everything was wonderful before the Bolsheviks."
            You have slandered the Soviet period, the pre-revolutionary period "thrown into the trash heap", but you have yours, except "the communists are always to blame for everything and always," and there is nothing.

An interesting fact, all the children and grandchildren of our general secretaries (Stalin’s daughter, Khrushchev’s son, Andropov’s children, Gorbachev’s daughter and himself) live abroad. How do they pour dirt on Russia !!! In addition to the children of Chernenko, who live in Russia. The Communist Party was and is a hotbed of Russophobia.

        As soon as your "Liberator" Gorbachev gave you freedom of action, the enemies of the communists in the national republics immediately began to expel the Russians, beat them, kill them, and rape Russian women and girls.
        And we, Russians in Russia, immediately became "lazy and drunkards" with nothing to be proud of in their history, but we only need to repent for your mythical "crimes of communism" that you composed to justify your capture of the USSR.

          Well, to begin with, Gorbachev is the Secretary General of the CPSU. He was chosen by people like you. He organized the Russian genocide in the Union republics, as Lenin, Trotsky, Uritsky did, etc. These people hated the Russians, they destroyed the Russian peasants (the Tambov uprising, the Shadrinsk uprising, Chepan uprising, and if there is interest, look in libraries and the Internet), who believed and supported them. The peasants believed that they had been given land, but only temporarily. Lenin and his brothers created the Union republics at the expense of the Russian lands and the Russian people. Uritsky and Lenin destroyed the Cossacks, the people who annexed to Russia most of the land that we now have. If you are really interested in history. then you should know Dzerzhinsky and Stal in were against Leninist national politics. They wrote at the time that this would lead to nationalism.

            And you, the enemies of the communists, staged the REAL genocide, only in Russia the supermortality rate after 1991 amounted to more than 13 million people, and you, such as all the "great philanthropists" in your anti-Soviet region, prove yourself that you don't care.

                The fact that someone's children from the highest echelons of power of the USSR left the USSR does not matter. They, unlike the children of the enemies of the communists who captured the USSR, have no huge accounts abroad, no luxurious houses, villas, yachts.
                You, the enemies of the Communists, your total slander against the Bolshevik Communists, is the only one from the end of the 80s that you have the excuse to capture the USSR.
                By this, you immediately proved that you had captured the USSR with criminal purposes. If people do something with good goals, they don’t need to slander others for the sake of justification.
                Neither the Bolsheviks-the Communists, nor we, their supporters, will ever slander anyone for almost 100 years after the October Revolution to justify it.
                We, in contrast to the enemies of the communists who seized the USSR, did not betray our leaders, and did not pretend to be cowardly "but we have nothing to do with it, these are those who were guilty before us, are still disentangling".

    From the bloody fields that have not come.
    Not once we fell into our land once,
    And they turned into white cranes.
    They are still from the time of those distant
    They fly and give us votes.
    Not because it is so often and sadly
    We are silent, looking at the sky.

    A wedge is flying, a wedge is flying across the sky,
    Flies in the fog at the end of the day.
    And in that formation there is a small gap,
    Maybe this is the place for me.
    The day will come with the crane
    I'll swim in the same blue haze,

    LYUBLYANA, 30 Jul - RIA News. The head of the Ministry of Communications of the Russian Federation Nikolai Nikiforov believes that Russia and Slovenia managed to choose an interesting, neutral and positive idea of ​​a monument to Russian and Soviet soldiers who died in Slovenia during the two world wars.

    The Minister noted the uniqueness of this monument, which is dedicated to the victims of two wars.
    "Secondly, this is perhaps the only monument that has been erected since the collapse of the USSR (in Europe) ... As we know, in recent years, we often see, on the contrary, precedents for the desecration of such burials and memorials," the minister added.
    The initiative to erect the monument was first discussed during Putin's working visit to Slovenia in March 2011. The monument bears the inscription: "To the sons of Russia and the Soviet Union who died on Slovenian soil during the First and Second World Wars."

    The monument was erected by the Russian military-historical society in cooperation with the Russian Embassy in Slovenia.

    At the site of the memorial for about 5 years, this stone stood.

      Dear Semyon, is it possible to find the image of this chapel in the internet? Most likely it was built by representatives of our military emigration after the Civil War. Then, a lot of them settled in Yugoslavia. Ours organized and served in their border service. They opened a cadet corps and a military school ... They left a noticeable mark in pre-war Yugoslavia.

      Found the answers to the questions. In Slovenia, they were Russian prisoners and they built ...
      For those interested in how I give a certificate from Wikipedia ...

      ".. The Russian chapel on Vršič (Slovenian. Ruska kapela na Vršiču, St. Vladimir Chapel) is a Russian Orthodox chapel in honor of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir, located on the high-mountain pass Vršič (Slovenian. Vršič) in the north-west of Slovenia. Built by the Russian military. during the First World War.

      In July 1915, a prisoner of war camp was organized near Kranjska Gora (at the junction of the modern borders of Slovenia, Austria and Italy), whose task was to build a strategic road through the Vršić pass. Most of them were Orthodox Russian soldiers, since before Italy entered the war, Austria-Hungary, which then included Slovenia, fought exclusively with Russia [1]. In 1916-1917, a wooden chapel was built by Russian prisoners of war in memory of the compatriots who were building a road across the pass at the Vršić pass as a result of an avalanche on March 12, 1916. In total, from 1915 to 1917, during the existence of the Austro-Hungarian camp for Russian prisoners of war, whose labor was used in the construction of a strategic road connecting the central regions of Slovenia with the western ones, at least 10 thousand of our compatriots died. [2] [3] The chapel was renovated in 2005 at a cost of € 90000 and is now a war memorial and a symbolic link between Slovenia and Russia. The bypass road was renamed "Russian way" (Slovenian. Ruska cesta) in July 2006 ... "
