Posner: Soviet Russia had certain fascist features

443

Another resonant statement was made by the famous TV presenter Vladimir Pozner. On his Pozner Online portal, he published a statement, which, in principle, he himself initially designated as quite provocative.

And once again from Posner went to the Soviet Union, Soviet Russia.



TV journalist, academician of the TV academy:

I understand that what I say will cause wild discontent among many people, but to a certain extent Soviet Russia had certain fascist features.

This tirade was made by Posner when thinking about whether he fears fascism. According to the TV presenter, the 86-year-old journalist, he fears this, but believes that "Russia has already gone through this." Moreover, as you can see, Posner does not mean European fascism (Nazism), which the USSR encountered during the Great Patriotic War. He emphasizes that the USSR itself had "the features of fascism".

Further Posner added that the United States should be more afraid of fascism, since "the United States is more naive in this regard."

Calling Soviet Russia a country with "fascist features" is the top, to put it mildly, oddity. After all, one of the pillars of fascism has always been ultra-right views and anti-communism. Not to mention racism ...

    A difficult fate threw Pozdner from one corner of the world to another. I think he meant either the Gulag or the persecution of Jews in the post-war USSR. And these words are taken out of context. Read his book “Farewell to Illusions”, it contains the whole story of his life.

    This is a werewolf. Destroyer of the USSR and Russia, who will always mimic, depending on who will pay. They forgot about it, so it came up.

    The old Jew forgot that it was this army that saved his kind from destruction.

    Posner cannot be a Jew and does not consider himself one.
    His mother is French, and among Jews, nationality is determined by the mother.

    The most prominent fascist features in the Soviet Union were represented by Posner’s plump face.

    Eh, it would be better if I didn’t read this article at all.
    Posner hit another bottom. But, apparently, this is far from the last.

    In Europe, there were only officially fascist states - Spain (after Franco's victory), Portugal, Italy, Germany, Hungary, Romania. The Polish regime was no different from the fascist one. There were fascist parties in Britain, Austria, Czechoslovakia and France. Yes, the USA is not a European country, but there was also a fascist party there and before the war it even LEGALLY held its congresses and marches.
    And in the USSR, even passports were bilingual - in Russian and in the language of the union republic. Even pre-revolutionary and then Soviet linguists developed a written language for the peoples of the USSR who did not have it.

    Poor Posner.. If he is barked at like this for a harmless statement, then if he encroached on something truly sacred, near and dear (unreasonably early and relatively high pensions for retirees and their free housing), he would have been chewed to death with his dentures.

    In our country, there is a Yeltsin Center and a monument to Gaidar. This is the same thing if a monument to Hitler was erected in the center of Tel Aviv. Not so long ago, from the blue screen, one propagandist proposed erecting a monument to Krasnov. This is to understand who is in power and who their heroes are. Yes, comrades, can you remind us who unveiled the monument to the “non-polzhiv” Solzhenitsyn!?

    Comparison:
    "Hitler has a red flag.
    And Stalin has a red flag.
    Hitler ruled in the name of the working class, Hitler's party was called the workers' party.
    Stalin also ruled on behalf of the working class, his system of power was officially called the dictatorship of the proletariat.
    Hitler hated democracy and fought against it.
    Stalin hated democracy and fought against it. Before the war, Stalin cited Hitler’s actions to members of the Politburo as a positive example.
    Hitler built socialism.
    And Stalin built socialism.
    Hitler considered his path to socialism the only correct one, and all other paths were perversion.
    And Stalin considered his path to socialism the only correct one, and all other paths were a deviation from the general line.
    Party comrades who deviated from the right path, such as Rehm and his entourage, were mercilessly destroyed by Hitler.
    Stalin also mercilessly destroyed everyone who deviated from the right path.
    Hitler has a four-year plan.
    Stalin has five years.
    Hitler has one party in power, the rest are in prison.
    And Stalin has one party in power, the rest are in prison.
    For Hitler, the party stood above the state, the country was ruled by party leaders.
    And under Stalin, the party stood above the state, the country was ruled by party leaders.
    Hitler's party congresses were turned into grandiose performances.
    And Stalin too.
    The main holidays in Stalin's empire are May 1, November 7-8.
    In Hitler's empire - May 1, November 8 - 9.
    Hitler has the Hitler Youth, young Hitlerites.
    Stalin has Komsomol, young Stalinists.
    Stalin was officially called the Fuhrer, and Hitler was the leader. Sorry, Stalin is the leader, and Hitler is the Fuhrer. In translation it is the same.
    Hitler loved grandiose structures. He founded the largest building in the world in Berlin - the Assembly House. The dome of the building is 250 m in diameter. The main hall was supposed to accommodate 150 - 180 thousand people.
    And Stalin loved grandiose buildings. He founded the largest building in the world in Moscow - the Palace of Soviets. Stalin's main hall was smaller, but the entire structure was much taller. The building, 400 meters high, was like a pedestal, above which a hundred-meter statue of Lenin towered. The total height of the structure is 500 m. Work on the projects of the Assembly House in Berlin and the Palace of the Soviets in Moscow was carried out simultaneously.
    Hitler planned to demolish Berlin and build a new city of cyclopean structures in its place.
    Stalin planned to demolish Moscow and build a new city of cyclopean structures in its place.
    //////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////////
    At the same time, there were significant differences.
    The main thing is that Hitler planned and carried out his expansion outside of Germany, to other peoples, enslaving them and exterminating unwanted nations. He called for maintaining and increasing the size of the German nation.
    To achieve his goals, Stalin exterminated citizens who were undesirable from his point of view within the USSR, and in this matter he surpassed Hitler many times over.
    Hitler invaded foreign territories and turned them into concentration camps for conquered peoples. Stalin, on the contrary, built concentration camps for his people and placed there not the conquered, but his own, “the freest people in the world”...

    What kind of Posner is this? I remember well how in the eighties he extolled the USSR and the way of life of the Soviet people, in the damned nineties he desperately cursed this country, and today he licks “one place” of the administrative apparatus of today’s Russia, cursing the nineties...

    This guy never got out of business trips abroad, shouting Glory to the CPSU left and right, otherwise he wouldn’t have been sent abroad. But it would be necessary to continue the discussion about which features of fascism belong to liberal capitalism or whether this is left for later.
