Victory will be ours, whoever said so. Vladislav Morozov - Compulsion to war. Victory will be ours! “Stalin was a bigger fascist than Bandera”

Our cause is just, the enemy will be defeated, victory will be ours

“Our cause is just, the enemy will be defeated, victory will be ours”- the final phrase of the appeal to the Soviet people, which the Deputy Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR and People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs V. M. Molotov read at 12 noon on June 22 of the year - the day the Great Patriotic War began and the USSR entered World War II. This patriotic appeal, with some variations and also in parts, was repeated several times in printed publications and oral appeals until the end of the war. It was repeated by J.V. Stalin in his first radio speech after a long break on July 3: “... all the peoples of our country, all the best people of Europe, America and Asia, and finally, all the best people of Germany... see that our cause is just, that the enemy will be defeated, that we must win”.

It is often mistakenly believed that Stalin was the first to pronounce this slogan (especially due to the speech rhythm characteristic of his speeches). However, the text of the appeal was agreed upon with Stalin and, according to some researchers, is most likely the fruit of collective creativity, so it is not possible to establish the exact authorship of the phrase.

When used, the phrase is often abbreviated, for example: “our cause is just, we will win”.

The slogan received a second life in 1945 with the establishment of the medals “For victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945” and “For valiant labor in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.” The inscription around the chest-length image of Stalin read “Our cause is just - We won.”

Victory will be ours!

Let's remember how it was.

And for Moscow, and for Kyiv, and for Minsk, and for the distant polar port of Murmansk, and for the eastern, rich in cedar forests of Transbaikalia, and for the taiga harsh climate of Siberia, and for the southern industrial-coal Donbass, the news of June 22, 1941 was the same . The speech of the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the USSR Vyacheslav Molotov, repeated many times by Yuri Levitan, burst into all corners of the huge multinational country:

“Citizens and women of the Soviet Union!
The Soviet government and its head, Comrade. Stalin instructed me to make the following statement:

Today, at 4 o'clock in the morning, without presenting any claims against the Soviet Union, without declaring war, German troops attacked our country, attacked our borders in many places and bombed our cities from their planes - Zhitomir, Kyiv, Sevastopol, Kaunas and some others, more than two hundred people were killed and wounded. Enemy aircraft raids and artillery shelling were also carried out from Romanian and Finnish territory.

This unheard of attack on our country is a treachery unparalleled in the history of civilized nations. The attack on our country was carried out despite the fact that a non-aggression treaty was concluded between the USSR and Germany and the Soviet government fulfilled all the terms of this treaty in all good faith. The attack on our country was carried out despite the fact that during the entire duration of this treaty the German government could never make a single claim against the USSR regarding the implementation of the treaty. All responsibility for this predatory attack on the Soviet Union falls entirely on the German fascist rulers.

Now that the attack on the Soviet Union has already taken place, the Soviet government has given our troops an order to repulse the bandit attack and expel German troops from the territory of our homeland.

This war was imposed on us not by the German people, not by the German workers, peasants and intellectuals, whose suffering we well understand, but by a clique of bloodthirsty fascist rulers of Germany who enslaved the French, Czechs, Poles, Serbs, Norway, Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Greece and other peoples .

The Government of the Soviet Union expresses its unshakable confidence that our valiant army and navy and the brave falcons of Soviet aviation will honorably fulfill their duty to the Motherland, to the Soviet people, and will deal a crushing blow to the aggressor.

This is not the first time our people have had to deal with an attacking, arrogant enemy. At one time, our people responded to Napoleon’s campaign in Russia with a Patriotic War and Napoleon was defeated and came to his collapse. The same will happen to the arrogant Hitler, who announced a new campaign against our country. The Red Army and all our people will once again wage a victorious patriotic war for the Motherland, for honor, for freedom.

The Government of the Soviet Union expresses its firm confidence that the entire population of our country, all workers, peasants and intellectuals, men and women, will treat their duties and their work with due consciousness. Our entire people must now be united and united as never before. Each of us must demand from ourselves and from others discipline, organization, and dedication worthy of a true Soviet patriot in order to provide all the needs of the Red Army, Navy and Air Force to ensure victory over the enemy.

The government calls on you, citizens of the Soviet Union, to rally your ranks even more closely around our glorious Bolshevik Party, around our Soviet government, around our great leader Comrade. Stalin.

Our cause is just. The enemy will be defeated. Victory will be ours."

And Victory has come! The hero people, who threw everything personal far into the rearguard, including grievances against the Soviet government with its excesses in terms of repression of dissidents and atheistic ideology, found the strength to unite into a single whole to achieve the goal - the liberation of Russian lands seized by the fascist invaders, for the salvation of one and indivisible Holy Rus'.

We, the descendants of the heroic people, are infinitely grateful to those who defended the independence of our Russian State, who with spiritual fortitude returned our state-forming Orthodox faith to the pedestal of honor.

Many understand that without God’s help, not a single turning point battle during the war took place. It would seem that ardent atheists are in power, having defeated the religious prejudices of society, but trouble came, and they did not disdain the advice of the elders of the Orthodox Church. With icons of the Mother of God, processions of the Cross walked and flew around cities and front lines, praying to the Lord Jesus Christ - the Savior and His Mother, the Most Pure Mary, patroness of the Russian lands, for victory in the upcoming battles.

69 years have passed since the Great Victory on May 9, 1945. During this time, much has changed in the state structure of the unification of Russian lands. To be more precise, this association disappeared. 22 years ago, the Soviet Union broke up into appanage principalities: Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, etc. Many of the republics proclaimed the Independence that was so coveted at that time.

But the thousand-year common history of the Russian people, the descendants of Kievan Rus, and the spiritual unity in the Orthodox faith cannot simply disappear. Spiritual dependence, blood ties do not allow economic ties, the veins of gas and oil highways, the friendly and family relationship between Russians and Ukrainians to this day to be broken into oblivion. And many of the residents of Ukraine became Ukrainians as a result of the abolition of the nationality column. They were Russians living in the Ukrainian Soviet Republic - they became citizens of Ukraine, Ukrainians by passport. The mousetrap slammed shut.

But a Ukrainian, whatever one may say, is also Russian. This is very difficult to fit into the heads of those who were born and raised in Ukraine, “independent” of Russia. They don’t understand that we are all Russians. They do not believe that even Galicia is the historical Chervona Rus. The crafty textbooks that taught this generation conscientiously eradicated international Russian patriotism and nurtured parochial mono-Ukrainian nationalism, fueled by fascist ideology, hardened since the time of cooperation with Hitler’s Germany on the basis of the utopian idea of building an independent Ukrainian state, which originated in pre-revolutionary Russia.

If you look at what is happening with spiritual vision, you can see that in the lens is the same biblical Tower of Babel, growing with more and more new floors, dividing peoples, sowing hostility and misunderstanding between people, including on the basis of the language barrier, and, as a consequence contributing to the degeneration of the ancient Russian people.

The ethnocide of the Russian and Russian-speaking sections of the population of Ukraine in our turbulent days has reached the limit, and even more precisely, to lawlessness.

Russophobia is progressing, passions are heating up, the evil one is swaggering and plunging the long-suffering people of Ukraine into further temptations, forcing them to choose one of two things: life-threatening resistance or slavish submission to the Kyiv junta, which came to power by armed means through the overthrow of the legitimate, legally elected President Yanukovych. It is clearly visible that the “independent” Ukraine is now being diligently managed by the EU and America. The worst thing for the residents of the South-East is if the nationalists manage to gain a foothold in power. Then they will be able to erase everything Russian from the still pro-Russian people: language, culture, Orthodox faith. Already now, according to them, the media under their control gives preference to the sermons of the schismatic Philaret, the pastors of the Greek Catholic Church.

The most offensive thing for veterans of the Great Patriotic War, for those who remember at what cost they managed to defeat the fascist invaders, is that followers of traitors and policemen who swore allegiance to Hitler’s Germany and Hitler are striving for power. The heroes of their Ukraine are Bandera, Shukhevych, Vlasov, etc. They are the ones who raise their hands in greeting, as the fascists did; they are the ones who put the national idea above the interests of the entire people. It seems that it was Russia that attacked Europe in 1941, and fascist Germany fought a war of liberation and won... The evil one is happy! This must not be allowed!

Realizing all this, most residents of the South-East look with hope at Russia's growing strength and listen to the words of Patriarch of All Rus' Kirill. We see and hear: brotherly Russia is not abandoning us. Powerful spiritual support helps Russian-Ukrainians not to lose heart, gives strength for resistance and faith in victory. God bless you, brothers Russians!

It is already clear that in 2014, on May 9, parades, demonstrations, and mass celebrations of Victory Day in a country engulfed by Nazi bacchanalia are quite dangerous for the lives of, first of all, the veterans themselves. But, nevertheless, I want to believe that respectable combat veterans, labor veterans of those distant terrible years, children of war, who also had to work for the front on an equal basis with adults, for victory, and simply survive in incredibly difficult conditions, without there will be no attention left. Remembering their feat, in our difficult times, which threaten to develop into a new Patriotic War, we all need to think about whether we, like our grandfathers in the Second World War, can unite spiritually to achieve the goal - the salvation of a single and indivisible multinational Holy Rus'.

It seems to me that the process of unification of Russian lands has already begun. And he can't be stopped. Despite the apparent fragmentation of Ukraine into self-proclaimed, still illegitimate republics, despite the fact that Crimea has become abroad, a subject of the Russian Federation, this is all a natural process of reunification of Russian lands, the reunification of the multinational Russian people with their spiritual center in Moscow. The time will come for Kyiv, the Father of Russian Cities, to wash itself away from the filth of neo-fascist torchlight processions along Khreshchatyk and regain the right to bear the title of hero city - victor in the war against fascism.

Caution

God forbid us
Forget the dashing years -
War lesson
And the numbers of victims are dry!
Fatherland
Freedom was defended
Majesty
Countries have not changed
For your life
And a lot of slavery.
Survive in battle
Last moments
Did you prefer...
They deserve the glory
We went through “hell” -
Victory has become reality!
Example of the Fathers -
Great feat of spirit!
Words are not enough
Science is powerless here,
To describe
Emotions of battle
Don't experience
We are afraid of defeat!
Imagine that
We lost the war
And Rus' is nothing...
She wasn't protected
No way!
In the tradition of the people -
Fist yourself
Once the road is freedom
Forward and into battle!
For the Holy Motherland!
Here everyone is “one of their own”
For the simple truth:
For my dear home,
For the happiness of generations!
At what cost?
Without bargaining and doubts!
Forget about you
Dead, living -
Betray that hour
When in the forties
They walked under the tanks...
Millions of us perished!
Those who have reached
Those who survived remember the groans...
And those moans
Worthy of worship!
To everyone living
As a warning:
Prevent
Blasphemy and oblivion -
Prevent
That war is repeated!

SOCIALISM IS OBSOLETE! COURSE TO PURE COMMUNISM!

For a new victory, a new idea is needed - the idea not of socialism, but of pure communism. And then it will come - a great victory.

Svetlana! What about the cleaners, plumbers, and porters at the station? They got nothing from the victory. Why should women clean toilets for us intellectuals? Why? Today we need to launch a program of communism and not socialism. And according to Marx’s program, the CLASSES OF WORKERS and INTELLECTUALISTS should be destroyed by merging into the GENERAL PEOPLE.
According to Marx, universal higher and universal workers' education.
All 100% of the population 2-3 BLACK LABOR, and 2-3 days SCIENCE. And the WHOLE PEOPLE will be born - a socially homogeneous system. AND THE COMMON PEOPLE are waiting for EQUALITY and universal higher education. THE COMMON PEOPLE DO NOT AGREE TO INEQUALITY. And without the people we are nothing.

LENIN BUILDED COMMUNISM, NOT SOCIALISM! 90 YEARS AGO!

And all the leftists don’t even remember the Commune. And about EQUALITY too!

Socialism was planned by him and Marx as a temporary transitional period. We failed because we sat on socialism for too long.

And socialism is a TRANSITIONAL, that is, a TEMPORARY PERIOD. SOCIALISM IS OBSOLETE. And we need to move forward to communism. And since no one built communism, we fell into capitalism.

The battle-ravaged bastions of socialism can no longer stand, the defense cannot be withstood.

IT IS NECESSARY TO COUNTER-ATTACK WITH PURE COMMUNISM, following the communism (not socialism) of Lenin.
1. Lenin’s work “The Great Initiative”. I quote.
“We have begun to use the word “COMMUNE” too easily... And at the same time it is forgotten that SUCH AN HONORABLE TITLE must be won... in truly COMMUNIST construction.”

Adding an author. What Lenin means is that Communes are not state institutions with bosses. There is no need to confuse them. And only real communes, that is, societies of equals, societies without bosses, should be called communes.

2. The original version of the article “The immediate tasks of Soviet power.” I quote.
“Every FACTORY, every artel.... is an INDEPENDENT COMMUNE with internal labor organization. In each of these COMMUNES, increasing SELF-DISCIPLINE...

This is the path along which we can and must ensure that the power of example becomes, first of all, a moral, and then a forcibly introduced model of the structure of labor in the new Soviet Russia.”

Analysis. By Commune, Lenin means precisely the Commune. Please note that in the commune there must be SELF-DISCIPLINE. And under socialism there was DISCIPLINE and this is also correct, but not the same thing. A COMMUNE IS SELF-MOVEMENT, and socialism is a MOVEMENT under the leadership of the socialist state. Absolutely the opposite.

3. LENIN “How to organize a competition? I quote the leader.
“It is necessary that every COMMUNE, every factory, every village compete with each other... These are the successes our COMMUNE should be proud of,... In which COMMUNE...

4. Rough sketch of the PROGRAM DRAFT. Seventh emergency congress of the RCP(b)
"Organization of competition between different communes."

5. LENIN. On measures of transition from bourgeois-cooperative to proletarian-communist supply and distribution” PSS t 37 p. 471-472
“The whole difficulty of the task is to develop a system of measures for the transition TO A REAL COMMUNE.” Discussion. Please note that here LENIN specifically emphasizes “THE REAL COMMUNE.”
6. LENIN. Speech at the 1st Congress of Agricultural Communes and Agricultural Owners
DECEMBER 4, 1919. I quote.
“We will ensure that each of the SEVERAL THOUSAND COMMUNES that now exist
has become a real hotbed of COMMUNIST IDEAS.”
Lenin often uses the word artel and the word obshchina as synonyms for commune.
But we must understand that the old community is only a primitive commune. A modern scientific community is a theater community, a university community, an academy of sciences community, a division community. Scientific communities (communes) are most effective in the most complex industries.
7. Lenin’s work “Additions to the project on subbotniks”
“Subbotniks are one of the forms of propaganda of the idea of labor service and SELF-ORGANIZATION OF THE WORKING CLASS”

This is only a small part of Lenin’s resolutions and theories on the actual construction of REAL COMMUNISM, NOT SOCIALISM!
Discussion. Wherever Lenin uses the word “SELF” we are talking about the THEORY OF COMMUNISM. After this remark, any worker himself can figure out where Lenin’s theory of socialism is and where the theory of communism is. We have given only a small number of examples showing that Lenin simultaneously built both socialism and communism.

The decisions of all Stalinist congresses were implemented. It remains to fulfill the decisions of all Leninist congresses on the construction of 1000 communes. Please note that according to Lenin, it is necessary to create FACTORIES (factories)-COMMUNES, and not just rural ones.

On the path to communism, the Great Communist Party will be reborn again, but in a new form, in the form of a network party Commune. LAW OF DENIAL OF DENIAL!

Then everything is simple. If the productivity of COMMUNE FACTORIES is higher than socialist factories, then everyone will understand that building socialism for a long time does not make sense.
We have reached the finish line of heroic Russian history:
ONLY COMMUNISM IS AHEAD.

The era of socialism is history. The new era is the era of pure communism, the era of millions of Communes. There is a global communist non-socialist revolution ahead. Communism will be built without socialism. Cuba's rejection of Communism is proof that socialism is outdated and its leaders have fallen into insanity from old age. The Cuban social state is no longer unnecessary. And the necessary Cuban Commune

Compulsion to war. Victory will be ours!

Dedicated to the blessed memory of my uncle Leonid Semenovich Balabanov.

Almost all the people and events described in the book are fictitious and have nothing to do with reality, and the author’s interpretation of some real historical events and facts does not necessarily coincide with the generally accepted one.

ORDERED TO SURVIVE

“They thought it would be behind them, but it would be behind us.”

Major Lopatin. Konstantin Simonov. “20 days without war”

The day they returned. Outskirts of the former Krasnobelsk. Ural. Border of the Russian Democratic Republic and the Free Far Eastern Federation. Demilitarized zone controlled by the Peacekeeping Committee of the United Armed Forces. 2033 may 13. Evening. Roadside cafe “Come in!”

The panic and horror of the first two days gave way to confusion and silence, and I categorically did not like it. Moreover, the silence that followed was absolute, in the full sense of the word. Because there were still no forms of communication working, and, frankly speaking, nothing was working at all. Thank you, although electricity was still provided, albeit intermittently - the nearest thermal power plants seemed to be intact, and there were no attacks on the local hydroelectric power station. Perhaps for the time being. The seemingly organically unstoppable television, the World Wide Web, and mobile communications with radio to boot all shut up all at once. And only the Allied Forces units tried in vain, like blind puppies, to fumble on short waves. But their panicked and hysterical shouting went into emptiness, bumping into the same screams of other warriors. Of course, in theory, this is what they need, the bastards, they deserve it one hundred percent. But in thirteen years of undeclared war, for some reason, for the first time, I did not have a feeling of vengeful satisfaction. Of course, the OVSniks and others like them are enemies for us, ordinary urban partisans, but still they are familiar enemies, with whom you already more or less know how to fight. And for some reason the hitherto unknown factor of optimism that reappeared on our playing field did not add to my optimism.

Cafe "Come in!" has always been, in fact, a permanent gathering place for “resisters” in the Krasnobelsky (or, if according to the number on the army maps of the Allied Forces, “No. 16”) sector. And whether the OVS counterintelligence officers know about this is a big question. Of course, now these roadside post-Schluss cafes are not at all what they used to be. Then, in the early years, drinking very often smoothly turned into stabbings and shootouts, worse than in the Wild West. The current clientele is mainly OVS warriors and “licensed” truck drivers who work for the same OVS and serve the oil refining that these warriors protect, in conditions where the railway is unreliable and busy with the traffic of tanks with fuel and other petroleum products. For the remaining (mostly at the same oil refining, and at the OVS repair plants) “loyal” population, travel outside the city (or as they say in their commandant’s office, culturally - “outside the protected perimeter”) is limited in every possible way - special passes, a draconian limit for gasoline and so on. Nowadays, few people even have personal vehicles. In some places, this is probably even justified - as part of a convoy covered by OVS MRAPs and other armor you won’t be able to travel around the area anyway. And if alone, there will be a quick and outright mess. Because there are a lot of different mines around, and where the “agricultural camps” guarded by Allied Forces and good roads end, all sorts of unaccounted for “disloyalist” settlements, “wild” rebels and many other interesting things begin. And the “peacekeepers”, if you, out of your stupidity, have crossed the same “guarded perimeter”, they will never save you, even if you are a “loyalist” even a hundred times over. And this cafe (like several other similar establishments) seems to be no longer outside the perimeter, but at the same time still within the boundaries of the external OVS strongholds.

Now “Come in!” (like its other local analogues) is a very valuable place for collecting information, and what’s more, it is located within the boundaries of the former city (once before the Anschluss there was a gas station and a small shopping center, some of the buildings have survived since then) , so because of the perimeter you can walk here without straining. The “peacekeepers” have fewer restrictions on walking on foot (since you can’t carry a lot of weapons or explosives on you, and these bastards know how to search well, they’ve gotten the hang of it over so many years), and “Come in!” registered for 24-hour alcohol sales. And outside the perimeter - only from 17.00 to 23.00, and even then with restrictions - not everywhere, only low-alcohol, no stronger than beer, smoking in city bars is not allowed, plus constant raids, searches, etc., etc. So Many specific people from the city traditionally come here. Well, for all of us, this is an excuse in case of another raid - well, a completely loyal person wanted to drink without restrictions, so he came in. Why not come in, since you don’t have anything prohibited with you, and your personal ID card is in order? Well, under the guise of a drinking party, you can do serious things. The “peacekeepers” (and now the contingent of local garrisons of the Allied Forces, in addition to our former corrupt compatriots from the RDR, includes mainly Bulgarians, Norwegians and Italians) have always turned a blind eye to the drunken eccentricities of the aborigines. There are fewer of us from drinking – and that’s all they need. But now the bar, like everywhere else, is empty, because no one has time for booze these days... A little people is hiding...

Mashka Tulikova approached with the clicking heels of her patent leather shoes. We have her here as a bartender and a hostess, practically one in two persons. What else can I say about her? You can’t take your eyes off her, in short. A draft girl, like from the cover of “Playboy” - blue, slightly meaningless eyes, capriciously pouting lips like a bow, a chic coffee-colored braid, well, sizes practically 90–60–90, plus always wearing stiletto heels, a tight miniskirt, and a blouse with I can’t with the collar unbuttoned all the way. A living trap for weak-willed individuals of the opposite sex. In my opinion, just looking at her makes any man noticeably stir in his pants (unless, of course, it’s ASO, a new-fangled “alternative-sexually-oriented” creature, which is now almost the majority among Caucasians and Yankees). But nevertheless, Mashka is purely our person. One might say, a proven comrade and soldier, no worse than others.

We met her about seven years ago and in a very unique way. Then she, still a brat, in the company of two other “young criminals” like her, decided to fire at the OVS convoy. We had our own operation planned there, using a cunning landmine. And I was personally in control. Fuck knows, perhaps Mashka would have killed me that day. We then for the first time stole several sets of “Gali” from the “peacekeepers”. A good thing, although it would be more correct to call it “Golya” - a holographic personal protection kit. It’s built into your overalls; when turned on, it blurs your contours to match the color of the area, and plus you can project two or three images of yourself away from you, at a distance of up to 10–15 meters. That is, “Galya” qualitatively confuses your opponent in close combat. The only bad thing about it is that with a standard wearable power supply it only lasts for 5-10 minutes of work (although in battle you don’t need more). That is, you have to run all the time to recharge to a stationary power source, for example, on an armored personnel carrier. For this, and also because its “nano-coating” does not allow air or water to pass through, OWS students do not like “Galya” and do not call her anything other than a “contempt”. In short, it turned out that first our landmine exploded, and then Mashka’s partners began to hammer from somewhere on the occasion of the PKM they had found from behind the bushes at the column. I didn’t have time to stop them, unlike Myashka. She sat behind them, like a cover. Well, I jumped out in front of her, and she left the AKMS without talking to me. Her horns were held together with electrical tape, so she even had time to reload, but her nerves gave way, and on the second magazine she hit it with a long one, and the machine gun jammed. If I hadn’t turned on “Galya,” I probably would have been a corpse. And so he ran up to her, punched her in the face, threw Masha, complete with a machine gun, over his shoulder and ran from there. Well, I finally made it to the helicopters that made wood chips from that forest. And then those chips were also sprinkled with phosphorus. Then this entire action (nine killed and twenty-one wounded OVS soldiers, two burnt-out armored cars and a truck) was attributed to Mashkin’s partners, who were put to death right there on the spot. As they say, “it’s easier for ours.” Don't sacrifice yourself when you don't ask...

And Mashka later said that she mainly took revenge for her own people. Well, this is just common and understandable in our environment - we all haven’t finished playing something. Her older sister was a military medic and served in Ryazan. And during the Anschluss, the local landing force refused to carry out the notorious order No. 06066 (“On non-resistance to NATO units”) of the Russian Defense Minister, and in the end, almost all of them ended up there, indiscriminately, regardless of gender and age. And for some reason her father refused to sign up as a “loyalist”, then began to protest, go to rallies and eventually disappeared in some kind of correctional camp. So she had a hefty personal account for the OBC. Well, then she was taught something useful, and I saw Mashka many times in action - and swearing three times in pain at the moment when the late Doctor Petruchio (actually his last name was Petrukhin, so they called him Petruchio behind his back, then Petrarch) before my eyes, he darned a wound on her stomach, and in an evening dress at a reception with the local commandant (she blew up this commandant a little later along with his personal screwed-on KShM), and with a sniper rifle in her hands, and riding a motorcycle, and various other types.

Anyone who is interested in history, at least at an amateur level, has had to deal with unexpected quotes from major politicians that turned their understanding of them upside down. Sometimes the appearance of such quotes looks like a real historical sensation.

The only problem is that often such statements are either distorted, or attributed to another person, or even invented.

At the same time, once launched, a “sensation” can then be practically unstoppable - they believe in it, desperately defend it, and use it as an argument in disputes.

A classic example is the phrase “No person, no problem,” allegedly uttered Joseph Stalin. To this day she is cited as an example to show the inhumanity of the tyrant. But the fact is that there is not a single documentary evidence confirming that the “leader of the peoples” pronounced it.

In fact, the writer put it into Stalin’s mouth Anatoly Rybakov in the novel "Children of Arbat". At the same time, the author never denied that the phrase was his literary invention.

How Molotov stole Hitler's words

And now a fresh example of the birth of a historical “sensation” has arrived, into which one of the activists of the opposition party PARNAS breathed life.

“Our cause is just! The enemy will be defeated! Victory will be ours!"

Each of us knows this famous phrase from history. Who is its author?

And here, I am sure, each of you will be mistaken - he ended his speech with it.... Hitler, speaking in September 1939 in the Reichstag in connection with the outbreak of war in Poland."

Until now, it was believed that the first person to pronounce this phrase in this form was on June 22, 1941, by the Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR Vyacheslav Molotov in an address to the Soviet people in connection with the outbreak of war.

It turns out that Molotov borrowed it from the Fuhrer of the Third Reich?

The beauty of the second decade of the 21st century is that it is quite easy to find the primary source on the Internet, in this case, Hitler’s speech.

So, speaking in the Reichstag in connection with the outbreak of war in Poland, Hitler ended his speech like this: “I want to end with the same words with which I began the struggle for power over the Reich. Then I said: “If our will is so strong that no difficulties or suffering can break it, then our will and our Germany will be above all!”

"Russian history. XX century"

Of course, those who got acquainted with Hitler’s real speech asked the author of the post: how is this possible?

“Source: second volume “History of Russia. XX century 1939-2007“, team of authors edited by Professor A.B. Zubov, page 40,” the author responded on Facebook.

A scan of the corresponding page of the book containing the following text was also provided:

“Therefore, at 12 o’clock Molotov spoke on the radio, describing the German invasion as “a treachery unparalleled in the history of civilized peoples.” He ended his speech the same way Hitler ended his speech in September 1939, speaking in the Reichstag in connection with the outbreak of war in Poland: “Our cause is just! The enemy will be defeated! Victory will be ours!"

64-year-old Doctor of Historical Sciences Andrey Borisovich Zubov became known to people, even those far from historical issues, in 2014.

MGIMO professor against the “Anschluss” of Crimea

In March 2014, at the moment when the events of the “Crimean Spring” took place, Zubov wrote in the Vedomosti newspaper: “First, the parliament was seized, the prime minister was replaced with a pro-Russian one, and then this new prime minister asked Russia for help, when assistants were already here, already the day they control the peninsula. It’s like two peas in a pod to the Anschluss of 1938. And even a referendum-plebiscite a month later under friendly bayonets. There - April 10, here - March 30. Have the Russian authorities calculated all the risks of this incredible adventure? I'm sure not. Just like Adolf Aloizovich did not calculate in his time. If I had calculated it, I wouldn’t have rushed around the bunker in April 1945 under Russian bombs, and wouldn’t have eaten an ampoule of poison.”

At that time, Andrei Zubov was a professor at the Department of Philosophy at MGIMO. The management of the university considered that the historian could not continue to work within the walls of the educational institution. On March 24, 2014, a message appeared on the MGIMO website: “Numerous statements and interviews by Zubov A.B. about what is happening in Ukraine and about Russian foreign policy cause indignation and bewilderment in the university environment. They run counter to Russia’s foreign policy, subject the actions of the state to reckless and irresponsible criticism, and harm the educational and educational process. Leaving on the conscience of A. B. Zubov inappropriate and offensive historical analogies and characteristics, the management of MGIMO considered it impossible to continue A. B. Zubov’s work at the institute and decided to terminate the employment contract with him.”

Zubov, however, considered such actions illegal, and the Commission of the Council under the President of the Russian Federation on Labor Rights took his side. Professor Zubov was reinstated in his position, but left it completely on June 30, 2014. His contract expired and his employer did not renew it.

“Stalin was a bigger fascist than Bandera”

To get an idea of Professor Zubov’s views, it is worth citing a few quotes from a conversation with him on Radio Liberty, the printed version of which was published in March 2015. The material is entitled: “The regime will soon come to an end, but Russia may perish with it.”

“Compared to Stalin, Hitler is the angel of Russian history. Because Hitler, even if he wanted to, did not kill as many Russian people as Stalin killed,” Zubov states in this interview.

“As our power after 2000, especially after 2000, 2008, 2011, drifted towards Soviet in form and, I would say, fascist, but not Nazi, but fascist, in the Mussolini sense , in content, I became a dissident again,” the historian shares his experiences.

The Ukrainian media also love Zubov. Here, for example, is a quote from his interview with Ukrainskaya Pravda: “Bandera’s members were called fascists, although, of course, this was not true.

It was a typical nationalist organization of the war period with its own army, with its own terrorist wing. Many people acted this way back then. Of course, some leaders of the Ukrainian national movement were carried away by Mussolini's idea of corporatism. But Mussolini still called Joseph Stalin his best student. I think Stalin was a greater fascist than Bandera or even Mussolini."

It is probably not surprising that the historian Andrei Zubov, with similar views, ended up in the top three of the federal list of candidates for the elections to the State Duma from the PARNAS party. The first on this list, in case anyone has forgotten, is ex-Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov, who has repeatedly publicly declared his intention to return Crimea to Ukraine after coming to power.

Having become acquainted with the personality of Andrei Borisovich Zubov, let’s move on to the book that interests us.

Solzhenitsyn's protest

The first edition of the two-volume “History of Russia. XX century" was published in 2009. Here is what Andrei Zubov himself wrote about the concept of the book: “We proceeded from the principle that the highest value of a person is freedom of will. And where it cannot be implemented freely, the state fails. Not a man for the state, but on the contrary - this is our first motto. And it is historically justified - after all, man appeared much earlier than the state and created the state for his own purposes. Now the second principle, and here we already give some assessment. Based on the first principle, the state created by the Bolsheviks was inhuman by its nature - it placed the general as the main thing, and man as secondary and subservient in relation to the general.”

Among the 40 authors who worked on the publication was the author of “The Gulag Archipelago” Alexander Solzhenitsyn. However, after working on the book for a year and a half, he left the project, less than three months before his death, explaining in a letter to Andrei Zubov the reasons for this decision:

“I agreed to support the project of creating a school textbook on the history of Russia of the 20th century, because I considered and still consider this a task of primary importance.

But when this project, under your editorship, acquired specific outlines that excluded the original plan, I realized that I could not identify with it, because I did not agree with both its uncontrollably increased volume and a number of its ideas and assessments. That’s why I ask you not to associate my name with your work in any way.”

An important point is that, as Solzhenitsyn points out, initially it was about creating a school textbook, where wording and respect for facts are extremely important.

The story of the “Krasnodar meat grinder”

But what actually happened?

Here is a striking example. The chapter in which the words allegedly spoken by Hitler appear is called “Russian Society and the Soviet-Nazi War in the USSR.” Not the Great Patriotic War, but the Soviet-Nazi one. The book, let me remind you, was published in 2009, five years before such historical concepts took hold in post-Maidan Ukraine.

The two-volume book contains many facts that, at a minimum, raise doubts. Here, for example, is this: “In Krasnodar, in the NKVD building, there was a meat grinder that ground the corpses of those executed and lowered them into the sewer. During the German occupation it was shown to foreign journalists.”

Where did this fact come from? Similar information was published in October 1944 in the Russian-language newspaper Zarya, published in Berlin. The article was called “Krasnodar meat grinder”.

It turns out that Russian historians, creating a manual for the study of the 20th century, consider it acceptable to cite as indisputable facts gleaned from the propaganda literature of Nazi Germany?

“The endings of speeches are really similar,” or Why Professor Zubov looks like Anastasia Volochkova

But let's return to the beginning - to the phrase allegedly uttered by Adolf Hitler, and later “stolen” from the Fuhrer by Molotov.

The author of the original post promised to clarify the issue with Professor Zubov himself, and he kept his word.

“In the evening, we received the following response from Professor A.B. Zubov, who is preparing a re-edition of the History of Russia, corrected and expanded into a three-volume edition,” writes an activist on Facebook, “I am very grateful to you for the work you have done. Yes, it's sad that the authors are not accurate. Although the endings of the speeches are indeed similar. In the new edition of the book, and I’m just working on proofreading this chapter, the text will be like this (I checked both the German original and the Russian translation and slightly corrected the Russian text): He ended his speech pathetically: “Our cause is just. The enemy will be defeated! Victory will be ours!". Almost in the same way, on September 1, 1939, Hitler ended his speech, speaking in the Reichstag in connection with the outbreak of war in Poland: “If our will is strong and no difficulties or suffering can break it, then our will and our Germany will be above all! »

Re-read the endings of the speeches of Hitler and Molotov, and compare them yourself. Perhaps they are “almost as” similar as a professor is similar to a ballerina Anastasia Volochkova.

Check the facts and beware of fakes!

On the Facebook page of Andrei Zubov himself you can find the following phrase: “The responsible editor and author is responsible for everything.”

We can confidently say that Adolf Hitler on September 1, 1939 did not utter the phrase “Our cause is just, the enemy will be defeated, victory is ours!” Accordingly, Vyacheslav Molotov did not borrow this phrase from the leader of the Third Reich.

The similarity of the endings of these speeches can only be seen by a person who really needs it for his own political purposes. This is not an interpretation of the fact, and not even an inaccuracy - it is not true.

This untruth is replicated in books and spread on social networks, creating a distorted picture of Russian history. This, in the end, is disrespect for historical science, for the profession of historian, and for the people who are simply trying to hang noodles on their ears.

June 22, 1941 will forever remain in the history of our country as the day the bloody and cruel war began. NTV tells what happened on that terrible morning and how the Great Patriotic War began.

Read below

June 21, 1941

13:00 (Berlin time) German troops received the Dortmund signal, meaning the offensive would begin on June 22 as planned.

In Germany, Colonel General Guderian checked the readiness of the advanced combat units for the offensive: “... Careful observation of the Russians convinced me that they did not suspect anything about our intentions. In the courtyard of the Brest fortress, which was visible from our observation points, they were changing the guards to the sounds of an orchestra. The coastal fortifications along the Western Bug were not occupied by Russian troops."

21:30 In Moscow, a conversation took place between the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Molotov and the German Ambassador Schulenburg. Molotov protested in connection with repeated violations of the USSR border by German planes. The ambassador avoided answering.

23:00 German minelayers, who were in Finnish ports, began to mine the exit from the Gulf of Finland. At the same time, Finnish submarines began laying mines off the coast of Estonia.

June 22, 1941

00:10 Border troops detained a defector from the German side, Alfred Liskov, who left his unit and swam across the Bug. During interrogation, the detainee said that at about 4 am the German army would begin crossing the Bug.

01:00 Stalin summoned Chief of the General Staff Georgy Zhukov and People's Commissar of Defense Semyon Timoshenko to the Kremlin. They reported on Liskov's message. They are joined by People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Vyacheslav Molotov. Zhukov and Tymoshenko insist on issuing Directive No. 1.

01:45 Directive No. 1 was sent to the districts with the order to secretly occupy firing points on the border, not to succumb to provocations and to bring troops to combat readiness.
"1. During 22-23.6.41, a surprise attack by the Germans on the fronts of LVO, PribOVO, ZAPOVO, KOVO, OdVO is possible. An attack may begin with provocative actions.
2. The task of our troops is not to succumb to any provocative actions that could cause major complications. At the same time, the troops of the Leningrad, Baltic, Western, Kyiv and Odessa military districts should be in full combat readiness to meet a possible surprise attack from the Germans or their allies.
3. I order:
a) during the night of June 22, 1941, secretly occupy firing points of fortified areas on the state border;
b) before dawn on June 22, 1941, disperse all aviation, including military aviation, to field airfields, carefully camouflage it;
c) put all units on combat readiness. Keep troops dispersed and camouflaged;
d) bring air defense to combat readiness without additional increases in assigned personnel. Prepare all measures to darken cities and objects;
e) do not carry out any other activities without special orders.
Tymoshenko. Zhukov."

3:07 The first reports of artillery shelling began to arrive.

3:40 People's Commissar of Defense Semyon Timoshenko asks Zhukov to report to Stalin about the start of full-scale hostilities. At this time, the cities of Brest, Grodno, Lida, Kobrin, Slonim, Baranovichi, Bobruisk, Volkovysk, Kyiv, Zhitomir, Sevastopol, Riga, Vindava, Libava, Siauliai, Kaunas, Vilnius and many others were bombed.

4:15 The defense of the Brest Fortress began.

4:30 The Western and Baltic districts reported the beginning of large-scale military operations by German troops on land. 4 million German and allied soldiers invaded the border territory of the USSR. 3,350 tanks, 7,000 various guns and 2,000 aircraft were involved in the battles.

4:55 Almost half of the Brest Fortress is occupied by German troops.

5:30 The German Foreign Ministry sent a note to the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the USSR in which it stated: “Bolshevik Moscow is ready to strike in the back of National Socialist Germany, which is fighting for existence. The German government cannot remain indifferent to the serious threat on its eastern border. Therefore, the Fuhrer gave the order to the German armed forces to ward off this threat by all means and means..."

7:15 Directive No. 2 was transmitted to the western military districts of the Soviet Union, which ordered the USSR troops to destroy enemy forces in areas of border violation, as well as “to use reconnaissance and combat aircraft to establish the concentration areas of enemy aircraft and the grouping of their ground forces. Using powerful strikes from bomber and attack aircraft, destroy aircraft at enemy airfields and bomb groups of their ground forces..."

9:30 The Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, Mikhail Kalinin, signed decrees on the introduction of martial law in the country, on the formation of the Headquarters of the High Command, on military tribunals and general mobilization, which was subject to all those liable for military service from 1905 to 1918.

10:00 An air raid was carried out on Kyiv and its suburbs. A railway station, factories, power plants, military airfields and residential buildings were attacked.

12:00 The People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the USSR spoke on the radio. V. M. Molotov.
“...Today at 4 o’clock in the morning, without presenting any claims against the Soviet Union, without declaring war, German troops attacked our country, attacked our borders in many places and bombed our cities from their planes Zhitomir, Kyiv, Sevastopol, Kaunas and some others, and more than two hundred people were killed and wounded. Enemy aircraft raids and artillery shelling were also carried out from Romanian and Finnish territory... Germany attacked the USSR, despite the peace-loving position of the Soviet Union, and that thereby Nazi Germany was the attacking party...
Now that the attack on the Soviet Union has already taken place, the Soviet government has given our troops the order to repel the bandit attack and expel German troops from the territory of our Motherland... Our cause is just. The enemy will be defeated. Victory will be ours".

After some time, the text of Molotov’s speech was repeated by the famous announcer Yuri Levitan. There is still an opinion that it was he who first read the message on the radio about the beginning of the war.

12:30 German troops entered Grodno. Minsk, Kyiv and Sevastopol were subjected to repeated bombing.

13:00 Italian Foreign Minister Galeazzo Ciano said that Italy declared war on the USSR:
“In view of the current situation, due to the fact that Germany declared war on the USSR, Italy, as an ally of Germany and as a member of the Tripartite Pact, also declares war on the Soviet Union from the moment German troops entered Soviet territory, that is, from 5.30 on June 22”

14:00 The Brest Fortress continued to hold its defense. German military leaders decided that the fortress would be taken only by infantry, without tanks. It took no more than 8 hours to take it.

15:00 German bomber pilots continue air raids. The Baltic strategic defensive operation of the North-Western Front of F.I. Kuznetsov and part of the forces of the Baltic Fleet began. At the same time, the Belarusian strategic defensive operation of the Western Front of D. G. Pavlov and the defensive operation in Western Ukraine of the South-Western Front began.

16:30 Beria, Molotov and Voroshilov left the Kremlin. In the first 24 hours after the start of the war, no one else met with Stalin, and there was practically no communication with him. Stalin addressed the Soviet people only on July 3, 1941. Historians are still arguing about why this happened.

18:30 One of the German military commanders gives the order to “withdraw his own forces” from the Brest Fortress. This was one of the first orders for the retreat of German troops.

19:00 The commander of the German Army Group Center gives the order to stop the execution of the first Soviet prisoners of war and create special camps for them.

21:15 Directive No. 3 was transmitted to the western military districts of the Soviet Union. In it, People's Commissar of Defense Semyon Timoshenko orders the bombing of Koenigsberg and Danzig, as well as air strikes 100-150 km deep into Germany.

23:00 British Prime Minister Winston Churchill makes a radio address in which he declares that England is ready to provide the USSR with all the assistance it can give.
“... We are determined to destroy Hitler and all traces of the Nazi regime. Nothing can turn us away from this, nothing. We will never come to an agreement, we will never enter into negotiations with Hitler or with anyone from his gang. We will fight him on land, we will fight him by sea, we will fight him in the air, until, with God's help, we have rid the earth of his very shadow and freed the nations from his yoke. Any person or state that fights against Nazism will receive our help. Any person or state that goes with Hitler is our enemy... This is our policy, this is our statement. It follows that we will provide Russia and the Russian people with all the help we can. We will appeal to all our friends and allies in all parts of the world to adhere to the same course and carry it out as steadfastly and steadily to the end as we will do...”

23:50 The Main Military Council of the Red Army sent out a directive that ordered counterattacks against enemy forces on June 23.

June 23, 1941

00:00 For the first time, a report from the Red Army High Command appeared on the nightly radio news: “At dawn on June 22, 1941, regular troops of the German army attacked our border units on the front from the Baltic to the Black Sea and were held back by them during the first half of the day. In the afternoon, German troops met with the advanced units of the field troops of the Red Army. After fierce fighting, the enemy was repulsed with heavy losses. Only in the Grodno and Kristinopol directions did the enemy manage to achieve minor tactical successes and occupy the towns of Kalwaria, Stoyanuv and Tsekhanovets (the first two are 15 km and the last 10 km from the border). Enemy aircraft attacked a number of our airfields and populated areas, but everywhere they met decisive resistance from our fighters and anti-aircraft artillery, which inflicted heavy losses on the enemy. We shot down 65 enemy aircraft.”

It is known that on the first day of the war, German troops advanced along the entire border 50-60 km deep into the territory of the USSR. Almost 4 more years of war lay ahead.
