History of the Great Patriotic War 1941-1945 seventy-ninth article

At present, the USA, England, France do not even invite representatives of today's Russia to the annual celebrations dedicated to the victory in 1945 over Nazi Germany. As if there were no Soviet troops in Germany in 1945.

The whole world has already learned that allegedly fascist Germany was defeated by US troops with the participation of British troops, and the USSR (Russia) has nothing to do with this. A little time will pass, and Russian schoolchildren will also speak. And it is no coincidence that school reforms are being persistently carried out, designed to turn the most recently most literate people into ignorant townsfolk, into a society of illiterate, underdeveloped, mutually hating individuals.

In connection with such a flagrant distortion of history and the humiliation of the peoples of Russia, it is necessary to dwell in more detail on the question: why the grandiose offensive of our troops in January 1945 was postponed to an earlier, inconvenient time for us.

US and British troops landed on European continent in Northern France only in June 1944, because they were afraid of the Germans. With a great desire to prevent the Red Army from entering Europe, they understood that they were not able to do this, since the German troops would destroy their armies, without even straining, in passing, like boogers getting under their feet.

By the middle of 1944, the Red Army had reduced the strength of the Wehrmacht so much that even the cautious Americans decided to oppose Germany with the forces of the US and British troops.

On June 6, 1944, and in the following days, Hitler did not accept any effective measures against the landing troops of the United States and England. He clearly considered their armies incapable of fighting the troops of Germany and he threw all his forces and means against the advancing troops of the Red Army.

But getting a little respite on Eastern Front, the German command decided to show the United States and England what their armed forces are worth.

“On December 16, the Germans launched an offensive in the Ardennes. They, having inflicted a serious defeat on the American divisions opposing them, rushed to the Meuse River. On January 1, the Nazis inflicted new blow, intending to return Alsace, ”writes V.V. Sukhodeev.

In connection with the victorious offensive of the German troops, which threatened the complete defeat of the Anglo-American group, Churchill turned to Stalin with a message: “Very heavy battles are going on in the West, and at any time the High Command may be required big decisions. You yourselves know from your own experience how troubling the situation is when one has to defend a very wide front after a temporary loss of initiative. It is very desirable and necessary for General Eisenhower to know in general terms what you intend to do, since this will, of course, affect all his and our decisions ... I will be grateful if you can tell me whether we can count on a major Russian offensive at the Vistula front or anywhere else during January and at any other time you may wish to mention. I will not pass on this very classified information… I consider the matter urgent.”

“It is very important to use our superiority against the Germans in artillery and aviation ... Clear weather is required for aviation and the absence of low fogs that prevent artillery from firing accurately. We are preparing to advance, but the weather is not favorable for our advance. However, given the position of our allies on western front, Bid Supreme High Command decided to complete the preparations at an accelerated pace and, regardless of the weather, open wide offensive actions against the Germans along the entire central front no later than the second half of January. You can be sure that we will do everything that is possible to do in order to assist our glorious allied forces.

The Soviet Supreme High Command decided to start the offensive even before the time promised to Churchill. Huge in scale, it began on January 12 at the front from the Baltic Sea to the Carpathians. German command was forced to stop its offensive in the west and hastily begin the transfer of large masses of its troops to the east - against the advancing Soviet armies.

On January 17, Churchill wrote to Stalin: "On behalf of His Majesty's Government and with all my heart, I want to express to you our gratitude and congratulations on the occasion of such a gigantic offensive that you launched on the Eastern Front."

This was also confirmed by Eisenhower in a letter to Soviet military leaders: "The important news that the valiant Red Army has moved forward with a new powerful breakthrough has been received with enthusiasm by the allied armies in the West."

Pay attention to the strength of the German troops: having transferred a significant part of their formations against the Red Army after the landing of the allies, the Germans managed to go on the offensive against the troops of the USA and England and not only in the Ardennes. As stated above German troops On January 1, 1945, they went on the offensive in Alsace.

And the state of the US and British troops is characterized by the fact that, having a significant superiority over the German troops in forces and means, the Allied troops began to retreat.

“In a matter of days, Hitler’s troops broke through the weak defenses of the 1st american army on a front of up to forty kilometers, by December 22 they captured the cities of Saint-Hubert and March and, soon reaching the Meuse River, found themselves at the line of Dinant, Liver, without introducing any reserves to develop this offensive.

Thus, having penetrated 100-110 kilometers into the territory occupied by American troops, they expanded the breakthrough front to one hundred kilometers, dividing the British and American troops into two parts.

Seeing such success, the Nazi high command changed the direction of the main attack and decided to develop further actions already on the left flank, where the 5th tank and 7th armies were located. The commander of the army group began to hastily transfer units and formations from other places to reinforce the troops in the new chosen direction for this operation ...

The German command did not have time to concentrate all the necessary forces to deliver a crushing blow to the allied forces, and the successful offensive of the Soviet troops in the east that had begun not only forced the enemy to stop completing the preparation of the planned strike, but forced those units and formations that were intended to participate in this operation, urgently transferred to the Eastern Front. Yes, 5th and 6th tank armies, which made up the German strike group in the Ardennes, by January 17 they were withdrawn from their locations and urgently transferred to the east. So, already for some time, pulled over Soviet troops enemy forces from his deep rear, designed to achieve completely different goals, ”writes A. E. Golovanov.

During the counterattack of the German troops, at times the armies of the United States and England simply fled in panic, not using their significant superiority in forces and means. As follows from the above, they only stopped because the Germans stopped advancing and went to the Eastern Front to fight the Soviet armies.

From the above material it is obvious that if the Red Army did not start on January 12, 1945, one of the largest offensives against German troops during the entire war (simultaneously seven largest operations, including the Vistula-Oder), as a result of which the powerful defense of the enemy was broken over 1200 kilometers, and the troops of the USA and England would have been completely defeated by the German troops at the very beginning of their offensive.

It was enough for Stalin not to speed up, but, on the contrary, simply to delay the offensive of our fronts for several weeks, and only memories would remain of the troops of the USA and England. The delay could be explained by referring to the unpreparedness of the Soviet army for the offensive after intense long battles. But Stalin made a decision that ensured the salvation of the allies from defeat.

Probably, this decision is explained by many factors: high moral character leader and, above all, his high decency, the desire to maintain friendly relations with the allies and divide the spheres of influence in Europe with the consent of all parties, on long time having ensured the security of the USSR, by a balanced assessment of our military, economic and political capabilities, by the desire to bring the day of the end of the war closer.

It was in the name of the early onset of peace that Stalin saved the allies from defeat. In my opinion, it was this factor that was the main one in making the decision by I. V. Stalin.

But perhaps he would have acted differently if he knew for sure that these "allies" 46 years after the victory of the USSR over Nazi Germany, the hands of the 5th column of the USA and England would destroy the Soviet Union.

Saving the lives of Soviet soldiers

History of the Great Patriotic War 1941-1945. Fifty eighth article
It should be noted that from the very beginning of the war, the government and military leaders of the USSR under the leadership of I.V. Stalin sought to save as many lives of our soldiers as possible.
This was not always successful, but concern for the preservation of the lives of our soldiers and officers can be traced throughout the war.
For example, already in 1941, Stalin issued order No. 281 “On the procedure for submitting military orderlies and porters to the government award for good combat work". This order equated the rescue of the wounded with a military feat.
For the removal from the battlefield of 15 wounded with weapons, the orderly and the porter were awarded the medal "For Military Merit" or "For Courage"; for the removal of 25 wounded with the Order of the Red Star, 40 - with the Order of the Red Banner, 80 - with the Order of Lenin. For the removal of 100 wounded, the orderly and porter were awarded the title of Hero Soviet Union.
The facts pointing to the desire to save the life of every fighter disprove the lie that Soviet leadership did not take into account the death of people on the fronts and filled up with the corpses of the Germans. The commanders of military units were evaluated by their ability to win a battle with the minimum amount losses, upon detection of cases of unjustified large losses, the commander was put on trial.
By the way, and about the fact that, according to the decision of the Council of People's Commissars of May 6, 1942 local authorities were supposed to draw up pensions for disabled people within two days after being discharged from medical institution. This is the concern for the person, and not empty chatter about democracy.
“By the Decree of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks of October 3, 1941, adopted at the initiative of Stalin, regional, regional and republican aid committees were created to service the sick and wounded soldiers and commanders of the Red Army. This contributed to the improvement of their service. As a result, over the years of the war, the hospitals of the USSR returned more than 7 million soldiers to service, which accounted for 71% of the wounded and 91% of the sick soldiers and officers, ”writes historian Yu. V. Yemelyanov.
These figures lead to other considerations. They say that during the war years 9.86 million of our soldiers and officers were wounded. Accounting for losses during the Great Patriotic War shows that for one killed soldier there were usually up to three wounded, that is, there were usually three times more wounded than those killed. Dividing 9.86 by three, we get the number of Soviet servicemen killed in battle during the Great Patriotic War, and it turns out to be 3.287 million people. And these are all soldiers and officers of the Red Army killed in battle during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. There are no others killed in the battle.
Such a calculation, of course, has an error, but with a large number of wounded, this error is not so significant. In addition, the calculation is based on accurate data from Soviet medical institutions.
The resulting number of those killed and the number of wounded indicate the absurdity of the assertion of liberal researchers about tens of millions of Soviet soldiers who died during the war. AT this case the origin of the information is also explained, which cannot be said about the German sources and information about the losses cited by our liberals like Solzhenitsyn.
If the Germans did not kill and feed our prisoners of war, just as we did not kill and feed German prisoners of war, then during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, approximately 3 million 287 thousand soldiers and officers of the Red Army would have died (irretrievable losses). I.e deadweight loss military personnel of Germany and its allies on the Eastern Front in the period from 1941 to 1945 would have been more than twice the losses of the Red Army.
Thus, we can say, and this is true, that in battles our grandfathers and great-grandfathers killed more than 2 times more enemy soldiers and officers compared to soldiers and officers killed in battles Soviet army.
This speaks of the double superiority in the art of war and in the armament of the Soviet army over the German army, and that our government and our military leaders took care of people.
The rest of our military losses are due to the fact that the Germans, waging a war of extermination Soviet people, killed, tortured, starved, shot our prisoners of war.
It's obvious that most The irretrievable losses of the Red Army indicated by our scientists and historians can only be explained by a significant overestimation of the number of captured Soviet troops and, as a result, an overestimated number of those killed in captivity.
The number of Soviet prisoners of war by our historians and researchers has not yet been established, since they still use the data of the Mansteins and Goebbels.
To the question of saving people, it must also be added that for the removal of each wounded, a monetary reward was provided in addition to the amount of money accrued monthly to all military personnel of the USSR, including privates, which depended on the position held and military rank.
Additional cash rewards were also awarded for downed aircraft, destroyed tanks and other expensive types of enemy military equipment.
But, of course, our soldiers did not fight for money. Yes, and there is no such money for which a person is ready to give his life. They fought for the Motherland, because at that time the word Motherland in the heart of every soldier was written with a capital letter.

Leonid Petrovich Maslovsky. 03/28/2015
And then the loss of more than 20 million already becomes a vile anti-Stalinist lie.

Saved

The leading role in distorting the historical truth about the USSR belongs to the scientific intelligentsia and the media. Unfortunately, our intelligentsia has shown its hostility to Russia almost from birth. Perhaps because it was based on non-Russian people who did not understand and did not love Russia.

From generation to generation, an intelligentsia hostile to Russia was nurtured. The only exception was the Stalin era in the period from 1934 to 1953, but even then many of its representatives simply went underground.

Our pro-Western intelligentsia also spat on the Motherland 100 years ago, just as it has spat on the Soviet Union for 30 years and Stalin's time for more than 60 years. The Russian writer, publicist and philosopher V. V. Rozanov wrote back in 1912: "At the Frenchman -" beautiful France", the British - "Old England", the Germans - "our old Fritz". Only the past Russian gymnasium and university - "damned Russia."

During Gorbachev's perestroika, scientists were especially vicious: Zaslavskaya, Agangebyan, Shmelev, Bunich, Yuri Afanasyev, Gavriil Popov, and others. At congresses, they came out one after another and cursed the Soviet Union, its past and present. Their speeches had nothing to do with the truth, but were an unprecedented slander against the USSR.

With a view to the collapse of the USSR and Warsaw Pact a variety of methods were used. First of all, distorted historical truth and then, on the basis of falsified information, a massive manipulation of the consciousness of citizens was carried out.

For these purposes, for example, the Non-Aggression Treaty concluded between the USSR and Germany in 1939 was used (liberals call it the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact). Any educated person knows that the treaty allowed us to win the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, since it was at that time that new types of weapons were designed and put into serial production, including tanks and aircraft.

hysterically screaming about Katyn case. Its essence is that in 1941 the Germans near Smolensk shot 12 thousand prisoners Polish officers just as they shot tens of thousands of captured Soviet officers throughout the war.

But in 1943, in order to turn the Poles and other peoples of Europe against the USSR, the Goebbels department suddenly started talking about the Russians shooting the captured Polish officers in 1940.

Immediately after the liberation of the Smolensk region by the Red Army from the Nazi invaders, in 1944, a commission was created that confirmed that the captured Poles were shot by the Nazis. The entire Western world agreed with this, despite the fact that, like Germany, it was interested in aggravating relations between Russians and Poles. I agreed, because the facts indicated by the commission were too convincing.

But in the 1980s, the ultra-liberal circles of the USSR, personally A. N. Yakovlev, voiced the fake fabricated by Goebbels to the whole world, and Russia, through the efforts of traitors, pleaded guilty to the execution of Polish officers. The USSR was discredited, both in the face of the peoples of the Western countries, in such a way that it was especially destructive for Soviet state, in the gases of their own people.

In the annotation to his book “Anti-Russian meanness”, Yuri Mukhin wrote that this provocation was reanimated in order to deprive Russia of allies and push the countries of Eastern Europe in NATO. Today, this provocation dominates Russia, and in Gorbachev's time it caused hatred for the USSR among Poles, other peoples of Europe and the world.

Of course, the USSR did not shoot captured Polish officers. We could be judged and sentenced to highest measure punishment of individual war criminals, but never shot ordinary prisoners: German, Italian, Romanian, Hungarian, Finnish and armies of other countries and peoples who attacked us in 1941, and also did not shoot captured Poles in 1940. This is proved by the volumes of files left by the 1944 commission.

In general, the USSR treated the Poles very tolerantly. For example, during the war, the Soviet government armed the Poles who wished to fight Nazi Germany. But the Poles armed by us declared that they wanted to fight the Germans not in the Red Army, but on the side of our allies, that is, the armies of England and the USA. Soviet government the Poles were released and helped to get to the allied armies. True, the allied armies did not spare them and threw them to the slaughter. The Poles also fought with the Red Army of the Soviet Union against the troops of Germany and its allies.

It is unfortunate that the majority of Russian people in their assessment of political and historical events, cultural and technical advances ready to believe the most malicious Russophobes.

The admiration of the Russian elite for the West in his immortal comedy in verse "Woe from Wit" was written by the great Russian writer, diplomat and military man Alexander Sergeevich Griboedov, whose murder was prepared by the British special services in Tehran for his Political Views and actions. His murder was prepared by foreigners in the same way as they prepared the murders of A. S. Pushkin, M. Yu. Lermontov, S. A. Yesenin, N. M. Rubtsov. They also killed Igor Talkov after he began to deal with the events taking place in Russia and give a well-deserved assessment of the democrats.

But, in spite of everything, faith in the West and admiration for the West continue at the present time. This blind faith in the West turns the victorious people into penitent, incapable of anything great sinners. The international conspiracy against the USSR and Russia, implemented in the "cold war" unleashed by the West, put the USSR in a state of constantly justifying, without guilt, the guilty party.

It is not customary to talk about the role of the media in the black deed of the destruction of the USSR, while with the beginning of perestroika, our domestic media began to turn into short term were turned into shock army US in the Cold War against the Soviet Union.

The media "bathed in money", receiving them both from the state budget of the USSR, and, one might say, from the US state budget (many people probably still receive it at the present time). Main Researcher Institute for Socio-Political Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences, professor, Sergey Georgievich Kara-Murza, recalls the following about the media of that time: to a psychophysiological study of the entire population of the USSR. In his opinion, in personal file each person should be stamped: “weak” or “strong”, so that only the strong are allowed to power.

I wrote a very correct response article about this manifesto. And he began to go to the editorial offices to his own friends with a request to publish this text. Everyone said that the article was good, it should be printed, but no one printed it. That is, by this time, when the doctrine of reforms was already being put forward, there was no opportunity for controversy. And this is one of the conditions for manipulating the consciousness of the people. To be enchanted by change. For a long time, of course, this could not go on, but even this time was enough for something to happen that we now know perfectly well.

What Amosov called for, the Nazis called for. Liberals praised him all over the country, wrote about what a wonderful surgeon he was, doing operations for ten hours in a row, from which his cervical vertebrae even fused. Many admired Amosov. But much later, the article “Running from a heart attack or to a heart attack?” appeared. Many of his admirers thought. Later it became clear that Amosov was bringing the theory under the seizure of power by the liberals and the transformation into slaves of the majority of representatives of the Russian nation, among which, by liberal standards, there are many “weak” people.

The media presented their pages to everyone who worked for the destruction of the USSR. As a force that brought huge contribution In the destruction of the Soviet Union, the head of the department of periodicals at Moscow State University, ex-Minister of Press of the USSR Mikhail Fedorovich Nenashev characterizes the media, who said: “In fact, the media can do a lot. I proceed from the fact that I have seen such journalism, such media. I affirm that from three stages that our journalism has gone through over the past 25 years, the stage of perestroika - in 1985-1991 - was the stage when journalism and the media really were the “fourth estate”.

In essence, they were also the main instrument of perestroika. Indeed, in these years, the trust in the media was enormous. There was a euphoria of glasnost… Then the media formed even the political elite, and today we say that they are more often in the service of the political elite. Democrats new wave Anatoly Sobchak, Gavriil Popov, Yuri Afanasiev, and Andrei Sakharov, as one of the most famous democrats of that time, were essentially created by the perestroika media. They were created by the media. This is how the media were integrated into the political movement and led this movement.”

Nenashev confirms that this political movement led to the disintegration of the country. It should be noted that through the media, the US special services led the political movements in the USSR, promoting people who hate the USSR and Russia to the ranks of the political elite, who work to destroy the Soviet Union not only for generous rewards, but also in connection with pathological hatred of Russian civilization.

The hosts of the television program "Vzglyad": Lyubimov, Zakharov, Listyev, Mukusev even became deputies. Kurkova and Nevzorov became deputies, as well as newsmen from Izvestia: Korotich, Yakovlev, Laptev and other media representatives. That's who destroyed our country. And everyone is trying to convince us that the USSR collapsed on its own.

And it was possible to save the USSR even in 1991. Many participants of those events speak about it. In particular, the former Deputy Minister of Defense of the USSR, former airborne commander, the youngest general of the USSR, Colonel-General Achalov Vladislav Alekseevich.

He confirmed that Marshal Yazov asked his forgiveness and at the same time said: "Excuse me, the old fool, for dragging you into these affairs." He meant 1991, the State Emergency Committee. Achalov answered Yazov: “You don’t apologize for that, Dmitry Timofeevich ... Then you should have sat in an armchair, rolled into a corner, and before falling asleep, say: “Comrade Achalov, act!” I had 7 airborne divisions at that moment! But... he didn't say.

At 45, Achalov was expelled from the army and retired for standing up for the Soviet Union. V. I. Ilyukhin also spoke about the possibility of preserving the USSR in 1991, who said: “We could have saved the Soviet Union even then! In November 1991, the fatal inevitability of his collapse was not! Even later, after the Belovezhskaya Accords, the army and organs remained on the side of Gorbachev state security. If this man wanted to save the USSR, he could well do it. For a period, no doubt. Apart from the Baltics, not a single people of other republics wanted to leave the Union. In Ukraine, the question at the referendum was raised incorrectly: “Do you want to live in an independent Ukraine?” In March, more than 70 percent of the population voted for the preservation of the USSR. Gorbachev had support! Yeltsin was constantly afraid of arrest after Belovezhye.

The events that took place during the almost seven years of M. S. Gorbachev's rule completely deny the liberals' claims that the USSR allegedly collapsed on its own. The USSR destroyed those forces that sought to destroy Russia and the Russian nation a thousand years ago. For the last thousand years, they have tried to realize the desire to destroy Russia, and after they succeeded in February 1917, they replaced Russian Empire THE USSR. I think that this is beyond doubt for every sane person, regardless of his political views and what he says for one purpose or another.

By the way, the above statements of people, many of whom were in the highest echelons of power, can be called a confession. Most of them said what was written in this chapter at a very advanced age, when a person becomes frank, like a soldier before a mortal battle.

At present, despite abrupt change in the assessment of individual periods of the history of the USSR, in general, a truthful assessment is still far away and it is distorted no less actively than before. None of the journals of today's Russia known to me will print a text positively evaluating the Soviet socialist system. It would seem that, unfortunately, there is no official state censorship, but the censors have remained, and they monitor the materials submitted for publication in newspapers, magazines and for television broadcasting much stricter than the censorship of the times Soviet power and they impose on society precisely liberal, pro-Western values, including a look at the history of the USSR and the pre-revolutionary Russian Empire.

And only separate, rare books that tell the truth about life in the USSR, for example, S. G. Kara-Murza, S. N. Semanov, V. I. Kardashov, M. P. Lobanov, Yu. I. Mukhina, V. S. Bushin and others less famous authors are still being published. Often they are published for the money of the authors and at a loss to the authors. But thanks to this asceticism, liberals in Russia cannot completely master the minds of people, tear and throw Russia into primitive society that does not create either material or spiritual values.

Thanks to them, some citizens came to their senses and understood what Western democracy is. Now they speak fondly of the quiet Brezhnev era. However, many of them still do not associate this calmness with the socialist socio-political system. Even some of those who destroyed the USSR remember him kind word. For example, Stanislav Sergeevich Govorukhin said the following about life in the USSR: “People were different ... more honest, oddly enough, more decent, there was no current cynicism and the pursuit of money. The art was different, everything was different... The streets were different: then you could walk on them calmly, but today bandits walk along them, and right-abiding citizens sit behind bars and steel doors.

In the Soviet Union there was education, science, there was a school. Now there is none of this, but there is some kind of monkeying from the West - either from America, or from England, the devil knows where they ripped it all off from! These exams?! There is nothing to even talk about science! Formerly a man dreamed of being an engineer, an agronomist, a biologist, a teacher, a scientist... and now women want to be models, prostitutes or designers, at worst, what the hell, in my opinion!..». But Govorukhin remained true to himself; he does not understand, it is strange why people in the USSR were more honest and decent.

Many today talk about the greatness of a power called the USSR, which other countries respected and feared at the same time. About the fact that they lived quietly without drug addiction and, although they drank, there was no mass alcoholism. About our mighty armed forces, advanced industry, highest culture. But few people spoke about the highest standard of living of the peoples of the USSR.

Many did not understand the main thing - property in the USSR was public and the profit it brought was distributed among all members of society without exception. “Private property in today's Russia, being one of the main forms of property, does not lead to any improvement in the life of the people, but is only a tool for enriching the elites,” many educated citizens of our country believe.

In relation to public property, one can judge whether this is our person or a pro-Western one. For example, M. F. Nenashev, either out of ignorance or long-standing hostility to Soviet power, denies the existence of public property in the USSR, but tries to prove its absence by purely liberal methods. He said: “What was the ideology of socialism based on? On public property, which in fact was not public property, otherwise the people would not have allowed this predatory privatization to be carried out.

And I must say that if it were not for the Nenasheva, who led the press and the USSR State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, then the people would know everything about property and Russian socialism. But the Nenashevs hid everything from the people, and even educated people did not understand these issues. They published millions of copies and invited the people to read the anti-Soviet and anti-Russian works of Sorokin, Granin, Nabokov and similar writers.

Nenashev nevertheless called privatization predatory, but did not say who was robbed during privatization? I think he understands that they robbed the people, since the privatized property belonged to the people. Thanks to this property, the people received free medical service, including the most expensive operations, almost free places in kindergartens and nurseries, free of charge all types of education, from school to graduate school, including training in sports, music, dance, aircraft modeling and other types of sections and circles, all types of housing, in most cases new, comfortable and modern.

The state paid stipends to students and graduate students and assumed the costs not only for education, but also those associated with the maintenance and provision of all necessary corresponding scientific laboratories used by graduate and undergraduate students. In addition, the USSR did not collect most of the taxes available in the countries of the world, and the available taxes were insignificant compared to taxes in Western countries and income levels. Soviet citizen.

Thanks to public property in the USSR, there were also the lowest in the world, incomparably low prices for utilities, travel in urban and intercity transport, including air transport, for children's goods, basic food, vouchers to rest homes and sanatoriums, basic necessities and a number of other benefits received from public consumption funds, as well as services established by the state.

In the USSR, all prices and services were set by the state, and on each item sold, on which the price could be stamped, the price was stamped, and on each package of other goods the price was indicated. This share of profit, added to wages, ensured a high standard of living for Soviet people. A citizen of the USSR in the early 1980s consumed an average of 98.3 g of protein (USA - 100.4), that is, almost the same as the citizens of the rich country peace. Soviet people consumed more dairy products than Americans, namely: 341 kg per person per year, while Americans - 260 kg.

The standard of living in the USSR was as high as it can be for the peoples of the country who have survived three years in 45 years. major wars with the strongest enemies who sought to exterminate us. The standard of living of citizens of the USSR was constantly increasing, and in the West they understood that there was very little time left when the standard of living of the USSR would outstrip the whole world.

Since the rejection of socialism, the standard of living of the majority of citizens of Russia and the former republics of the USSR cannot increase even theoretically: an increase in wages or pensions immediately leads to an increase in prices that are completely inconsistent with social necessary costs labor required to produce a particular product or service. The increase in prices even outstrips the increase in income. Citizens of the USSR before Gorbachev came to power did not know what inflation was at all. The purchasing power of the ruble remained at the same level for decades.

After the collapse of the USSR, many understood this. But, apparently, not all. Comparing the standard of living of citizens of the USSR with citizens of the West in terms of wages means juggling the facts, that is, engaging in falsification. It is necessary to take into account the income of a Soviet citizen from owning a part of public property and the lack of spending by a Soviet citizen, which in Western and other capitalist countries is in fact mandatory and constitutes the bulk of the expenses of citizens of these countries. Currently, most of these expenses have become mandatory in Russia.

All post-Soviet power rests on the distortion of the historical truth about the USSR. That is why, to the delight of the West, television screens have been filled with anti-Soviet films and programs for decades.

Capitalism is an unnatural and disastrous way of development for Russia

Russia has been moving towards a socialist socio-political system throughout its history. The Russian community led our country to socialism. Stolypin's reforms aimed at destroying the Russian community along the lines of Western countries did not find support among the peasants.

At a turning point in the history of the transition of the country as a whole to socialism, the West stood in the way of Russia. The troops of Germany, and then the interventionists of the USA, England, France and Japan, as well as the White armies entered the war with Russia.

So what was white army Whose interests did she represent? "White Guard" - this is how M. A. Bulgakov called his novel. Many watched the plays "Days of the Turbins", but few paid attention to the fact that the Whites sought to fight Germany against Russia.

white guard was not going to defend Russia, did not plan to restore the monarchy, but fought against Russia on the side of Western countries.

The Whites fought not for the tsar, but for the parliament. In 1918, Russia, in addition to German troops appeared new enemy- troops of the interventionists of the Entente and the White Armies hired by the West. This is clear as daylight, but only not for our stupid philistine and deceived people.

There are many sources confirming the above, but they are not known and they are not believed, but open-mouthed, they listen to liberal propaganda that seeks to destroy our country. They do not understand that the white movement unambiguously led Russia to death, and the Russian nation to extermination, just like at present, the fulfillment of the will of the United States will unambiguously lead Russia to the same tragic end.

The white movement was generated by the Masonic February 1917 and sought to erase Russia from the future. The White Guard is a liberal guard and the officers and rank and file of this guard consciously or unconsciously carried out the will of the West. Our wise ancestors figured this out, but semi-literate descendants accepted the history of Russia distorted by the West.

Hopeless ignorance reigns in today's Russian society! After all, the Whites fought with the West, with the money of the West, for the interests of the West, they fought with Russia, and the Reds defended Russia and all the peoples living in it. The Reds won precisely because they fought for Russia, because the Russians and other peoples of our state were on the side of the Reds.

In Ukraine, the Bandera armies are glorified, and in Russia, the White armies. And behind this glorification in both cases is the United States. So, in terms of degradation, Russian society is not far behind Ukrainian society.

In today's degradation Russian society those same liberals and nationalists who were beaten in civil war, Stalin pacified, but who were given power by the subsequent leaders of the USSR and Russia.

Our wise Russian ancestors understood that the socialist path of development is the natural, original and saving path of Russia's development. But nationalists believe October revolution 1917, which saved our country from the West, by a coup alien to Russia, staged by Jews, that is, liberals, since not every liberal is a Jew, but almost every Jew is a liberal. The liberals would never have been able to play a prominent role in Russian history without the nationalists, and it is no coincidence that they have marched together at all times, including the relatively recent events on Bolotnaya Square.

But the history of Russia at all times was created by Russians. It was the Russian Alexander Nevsky who led Russia in his own way, different from other countries, and thereby saved the country from the West. Ukraine threw itself into the arms of the West and began to disappear from the face of the planet. Only joining Russia saved her from complete destruction.

Liberals go out of their way to show the inability of Russians to make their own history. They are joined by nationalists who claim that Russian history was created by the Jews. And if the former know what they are doing, then the latter are ruining the country out of ignorance. But, of course, it is not the reason that is important, but the fact that both are pushing the country into the abyss! Stalin was right a thousand times over when he fought mercilessly not only against the Trotskyists, but also against the nationalists.

We, the Russians, are a sovereign people, and Russia was going to the will of those who were part of it, under its protection of the peoples, which allowed joint forces fight enemies and build a power. With the advent of Gorbachev to power, the enemies of Russia, with the aim of disintegrating the USSR, began to shout that Russia was feeding other peoples that were part of it. In fact, Azerbaijan provided oil, Uzbekistan - cotton, Ukraine - wheat and engineering products, and each other republic contributed to strengthening the power of the state and improving the well-being of its constituent peoples. But the main thing is that together we made up an impressive force and were invulnerable to the enemy.

And today's Russia North Caucasus, for example, is needed like air. If we lose it, we will become vulnerable from one of the most dangerous directions. It is enough that Russia's security was reduced many times over when the border with Ukraine turned into a border with a hostile state. Each republic provided us with security and guaranteed life for itself.

It is necessary to accept into Russia all those who want to live in the Russian state. Only in this case we have the opportunity to survive together with the reunited peoples in an enemy environment.

The USSR was destroyed by thousands of strikes, the main of which, of course, was the lie about mass Stalinist repressions and, as a result, the accusation of repressiveness of the socialist socio-political system. In this thousand blows, the assertion that the republics exist at the expense of the RSFSR was not the last place.

This blow is used today, including in relation to the Crimea reunited with Russia. Russia, forgetting about the safety of its people, to the cries of liberals and nationalists about freeloaders, does not accept Abkhazia into its composition, South Ossetia, Donetsk and Lugansk regions, Transnistria and other peoples aspiring to join Russia, which, it should be noted, were part of Russian state. This behavior of Russia does not strengthen, but weakens the country and creates freedom for our enemies to carry out anti-Russian activities on the borders of our state.

It's time for us to collect our lands, defending which Russia has lost millions of its best sons and daughters. The USSR created the Soviet people, who had the same worldview, attitude to each other, to work, to national culture and history. The Soviet people is a fact that happened in the USSR: in our great, now desecrated motherland.

The USSR was called Russia - this was the Russian state, which was formed over a thousand years. The socialist path of development was a natural path for the development of the Russian state, different from the path of development of the West that was disastrous for the country. This was the path of development of the unique Russian peasant community.

Under Khrushchev, laws and decisions began to be made that gradually broke the ideally working state machinery USSR and, ultimately, led to the dismemberment of the USSR.

In the 1990s, laws were aimed at destroying industry, Agriculture, disarmament and disbandment of the army, led to the tragedy and suffering of many citizens of Russia.
In today's Russia, laws do not contribute to the development of the country, and we are marking time.

Russia is following a capitalist path that is unnatural for it, alien and harmful to it, which leads to the degradation of society, which is mainly interested only in information that does not require mental stress.

In power structures full of amateurs, the scientific approach on which the state should rely is excluded from the practice of adopting government decisions and laws.

Russia, which produced everything itself under the Soviet regime, today is not able to provide itself with either the necessary industrial goods or agricultural products.

Today's Russia is not capable of holding a meeting that meets its interests foreign policy, and therefore the former republics under the influence of the United States are turning into states hostile to Russia.

There are too many forces within the country that seek to exclude Russianness from our lives. In the USSR, under Stalin, there was an institute of the Russian language, which, in particular, published volumes of a dictionary of the Russian language, much superior to both Dahl's dictionary and Ozhegov's dictionary. In it, in addition to the interpretation of words, each word contains an excerpt from the works of Russian and Soviet writers.

Today, with all the beautiful conversations, the Russian language ceases to be Russian, since practically nothing is being done to preserve it. In fact, both television and the Internet are working to destroy it.

The enemy West is squeezing the ring around Russia left from the USSR and is ready to use against us nuclear weapon. All this is the result of Gorbachev's policies and the 1991 coup d'état.

We can continue to give examples of our troubles. In my opinion, society underestimates the degree of danger hanging over our country and in the state, including higher levels power, there are no forces capable of stopping destructive processes.

The current path of development is unnatural for the country and cannot lead to prosperity.

The catastrophe that occurred in 1991 leads us all to death, the daily discrediting of the USSR exacerbates the danger of the dismemberment of Russia and the extermination of the peoples living on its territory, and we are all engaged in criticizing the USSR and promoting liberal ideas. The liberal values ​​that are being imposed on our society are alien and disastrous for Russia. Russian state did not restore its industrial and agricultural potential and ceased to defend itself from the destructive ideology of liberals and nationalists.

To save the lives of its citizens, Russia needs mobilization plan development and tough government with the nationalization of private ownership of the means of production and land. Russia can survive only by following its natural path of development.

Leonid Petrovich Maslovsky

One of the favorite ways of the falsifiers of history is the assertion that there was no heroism, no courage, no achievements in the field of weapons production, but only fear of the cruel authorities, whose representatives drove people to the slaughter, filling the Germans with corpses.

The falsifiers of our history don't even bother to prove their claims, but act on Goebbels' assertion that a lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth.

But all their myths are shattered by facts, and the facts indicate that the fighters and commanders of the Red Army, workers and engineering and technical workers defense industry The USSR turned out to be head and shoulders above the fighters and industrial workers of Germany and Europe occupied by it. The facts indicate that the Red Army bombarded the Germans not with corpses, but with bombs and shells.

Data on the losses of the USSR people during the war is one of the ways to belittle the greatness of our Victory. The ill-wishers of Russia are trying to deprive us of pride in the great Victory of May 9, 1945, by lying about our losses during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.

To do this, first, mixed the losses civilians and military personnel and pass them off as losses of the Red Army. That is, our losses during the V.O. war included military personnel and civilians in total, and only the losses of military personnel were included in Germany's losses. It should be noted that none of the countries that fought during World War II include the loss of civilians in the losses, but we do, because Hitler waged a war of extermination in the east and exterminated a huge number of Soviet civilians.

Secondly, when they write about the losses of Germany, they forget to say about the losses of the armies of Italy, Hungary, Romania and Finland in 1941, together with Germany, who attacked the USSR and fought on the Soviet-German front.

Thirdly, when they write about the losses of the Red Army, they indicate all the losses, and when they write about the losses of Germany, they indicate only irretrievable losses. That is, the losses of the Red Army include the dead and wounded (this is precisely the content of the word "losses"), and the losses of Germany include only those killed and those who died from wounds within 3 days.

Fourthly, when they compare losses in rifle divisions, they do not write that strength German infantry division for a significant period of the war corresponded to the composition of approximately two of our rifle divisions, full-blooded German tank corps out of three divisions, he had about 600-700 tanks, that is, about the same number as our tank army had in its composition.

Fifth, in Russia, no one is responsible for false information about our losses, and therefore our ill-wishers call the numbers, as at an auction: “Who is more?”

Stalin in March 1946, commenting on the speech of Winston Churchill, said that as a result of the German invasion, the Soviet Union irretrievably lost about seven million people.

Khrushchev, who sought to belittle all the merits of Stalin, increased our losses of military personnel and civilians to 20 million people. In the tenth volume world history”, published during the reign of Khrushchev, it is written: “The defeat Nazi Germany was achieved by the Soviet Union at the cost of the greatest human casualties… Total number more than 20 million people died, of which at least half were civilians.

Subsequently, they brought the death toll to 27 million people and blamed it not on the Nazis, who killed the civilian population, waging a war of extermination, but on Stalin, under whose leadership the USSR won the Victory.

Bonaparte and Hitler are glorified in the West, who lost the wars and left the main number of soldiers and officers of their armies in the vastness of Russia. We have numerous pro-Western circles and the townsfolk who believe them do not glorify either our military leaders or the chairman State Committee Defense, Chairman of the Council people's commissars(Council of Ministers), People's Commissar of Defense, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks and Supreme Commander Stalin, who worked hard to lead the front and rear. Stalin's authority during the war years was enormous. During the transition to the offensive, a combat call sounded: “For the Motherland! For Stalin!". It is impossible to force people to scream like that, getting up from the trench to attack under the bullets of the enemy.

The West exposes the Supreme Commander-in-Chief and the Soviet military leaders who organized the Victory as incapable of competently, with knowledge of the matter and concern for the soldiers to control the troops.

And this is at a time when our army, gaining one victory after another, utterly defeated the enemy, when it was clear to contemporaries that there are no more talented, competent, reasonable, humane commanders in any army in the world than the commanders of the Soviet army during the Great Patriotic War 1941-1945.

Our Soviet military leaders they themselves came out of the people, were its flesh and blood and carried the light of that all-encompassing Russian kindness, which the ruthless Western individual, accustomed to money-grubbing, who measures life only by personal gain, will never understand. But today unworthy people they call our wonderful leaders of the Red Army, who organized the crushing of strongest army peace.

The commanders of the Red Army turned out to be not only professionally more trained and intellectually more developed than the Germans, but also more brave in battle. Heroism was shown by both ordinary and officers, including representatives of the most high ranks and positions. For example, the commander of the Kalinin Front, Ivan Stepanovich Konev, having received a report that one of the companies left their positions and retreated, went there, personally led the battle and restored the previous situation.

Golovanov writes: “I witnessed how the Supreme Commander scolded him for such actions, reprimanding him that it was not the business of the front commander to personally deal with issues that should be resolved in best case regimental commanders. But brave people Stalin was very respected and appreciated.

In the liberal media, the numbers of our losses are constantly growing. No one particularly objects to them, because the young do not care, and the old ones simply pity the dead.

Even without distorting the data, but pointing with German side the loss of military personnel, and from the Soviet side - the sum of the losses of military personnel and civilians, already half of Russia was convinced that the Red Army fought very badly and allegedly won victories only at the cost of heavy human casualties.

And very few people pay attention to unfounded conclusions, to the obvious truth that the ability of the army to fight is characterized by the loss of military personnel, and not of the civilian population. The losses of the civilian unarmed population indicate only cruelty, certain goals enemy, but cannot characterize the combat effectiveness of the army, the level of its commanders.

It is clear that such an assessment glorifies the army that killed more unarmed civilians and enemy prisoners of war. And, despite all the absurdity of such an assessment of the Soviet armed forces during the Great Patriotic War, it has been used by many historians, researchers and politicians for decades.

But, in my opinion, it was Stalin who named the exact data on our losses. On March 14, 1946, the Pravda newspaper published Stalin's answers to the questions of the newspaper's correspondent, which he asked on March 13, 1946. In particular, Stalin said the following: “The Germans invaded the USSR through Finland, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary. The Germans were able to invade through these countries because they then had governments hostile to the Soviet Union.

As a result of the German invasion, the Soviet Union irretrievably lost in battles with the Germans, and also thanks to German occupation and the deportation of Soviet people to hard labor of about seven million people. In other words, the Soviet Union lost several times more people than England and the United States of America put together. It is possible that in some places they are inclined to consign to oblivion these colossal sacrifices Soviet people who ensured the liberation of Europe from the Nazi yoke. But the Soviet Union cannot forget about them.

The question is, what can be surprising in the fact that the Soviet Union, wishing to secure itself for the future, is trying to ensure that in these countries there are governments loyal to the Soviet Union? How is it possible, without losing one's mind, to qualify these peaceful aspirations of the Soviet Union as the expansionist aspirations of our state? It is impossible not to notice that in this case, Stalin was interested in naming as large losses as possible.

The entire course of the war shows that it was not the Red Army that threw the corpses of the Germans, but the Wehrmacht that threw the corpses of the Red Army. The advancing German units suffered colossal losses in 1941 as well. It would be naive to think that while storming our cities, trenches, pillboxes and bunkers, of which more than 800 were built near Moscow alone, anti-tank ditches and scarps, the enemy had no losses.

The offensive of the Red Army from November 19, 1942 mowed down the German units so that in the summer of 1943 the Germans could not bring the number of their units to the level of the summer of 1942. In the summer of 1943, the number of German troops with the Allies, compared with the summer of 1942, decreased by almost one million people, despite the total mobilization carried out by German leadership in 1943.

AT Battle of Kursk and in subsequent battles the Germans suffered even greater losses than in the previous two years of the war. Combination huge amount the technique of the Red Army and the heroism of the Soviet soldiers doomed the Germans to huge losses.

Suffice it to say that by the summer of 1943, the Red Army had, compared with Germany and its allies, more than 103 thousand guns and mortars against 54,330 guns and mortars, 9,918 tanks and self-propelled guns against 5,580 tanks and assault guns, 8,357 aircraft against 3,000 aircraft. In 1943, about 175 million shells, mines and air bombs were manufactured, and in 1944 - 184 million. In 1943, about six billion rounds of ammunition were produced for small arms, and in 1944 - over 7.4 billion.

At the end of 1942, the Red Army surpassed the Wehrmacht in terms of weapons and ammunition. Maybe our military leaders could not properly use this advantage in armament and therefore suffered heavy losses in people? No.

Our General Staff developed deeply thought-out, the highest level operations, and the commanders and rank and file brilliantly embodied them in battle. Accepted strategic decisions amaze with their highest intellectual, professional and organizational level. Moreover, all operations were developed with the provision of a minimum possible losses. In preparing offensive operations, they were in no hurry, focusing on the direction of the main attack since 1943, significant, and since 1944 overwhelming superiority over the enemy.

In 1944, in the place where the enemy’s front was broken through, in the direction of the main attack, the commanders of the Red Army concentrated the amount of forces and means that ensured an average ratio of forces in people - 6: 1, in field guns of various calibers - 5.5: 1, in tanks - 5.4:1, in machine guns - 4.3:1, in mortars - 6.7:1, in aircraft - 3:1 in favor of the Red Army. Of course, the Germans later pulled equipment and people to the breakthrough site, but this could no longer be of decisive importance.

How can one not be proud that in the conditions of the retreat of 1941, the Headquarters of the Supreme High Command was able to equip, clothe, shoe, equip, train ten reserve armies, a million people, and send them to meet the German armies advancing on Moscow and in other directions?

How can one not admire the fact that Stalin lured the Germans to Stalingrad, closing the Moscow direction, and there, near Stalingrad, german army was completely smashed? It was not in vain that concrete fortifications were built around Stalingrad, and on January 23, 1942, they decided to build railway from Ulyanovsk to Stalingrad. The road was built, which later made it possible to supply the defenders of the besieged city.

How can one not admire the ingeniously designed Stalingrad offensive operation? On November 19, 1942, the Germans could not put up against our advancing troops either troops from Stalingrad, since Chuikov’s army was located there, or from the interfluve of the Volga and Don, since Rokossovsky’s armies were advancing on both sides of the Don. In addition, Vatutin and Eremenko were advancing too far in order for German troops to be quickly transferred to meet them. And in each subsequent operation of 1942-1945 there were moments showing high, superior to the enemy the skill of our military, our General Staff and Headquarters of the Supreme High Command.

There is only one truth - our superiority in the development and preparation of military operations, the number of weapons has been constantly increasing since the autumn of 1942 and the number of losses of the armies of Germany and other European countries that fought against the USSR was constantly increasing compared to the losses of the Red Army. And if we take into account the bravery and courage of the Soviet soldiers, then there can be no doubt about this. The mere fact that the Red Army out of the four years of the war for almost three years had a significant superiority over the enemy in armament is enough to refute all the authors who claim that the USSR lost more soldiers and officers in the war than the enemy. The mass heroism of the Soviet soldiers was not questioned even by the enemy.
