The division of historical memory

Activities in Tallinn again witnessed the historic divisions in Estonian society, one of which point to this 65-day anniversary of the liberation of the city from the Nazis, and the other - a soldier recalls the 20 th Estonian SS division

Moscow. September 22. INTERFAX.RU - Today's event in Tallinn again witnessed the historic divisions in Estonian society, some of which - mainly Russian-speaking - note that day 65-anniversary of the liberation of Tallinn from the Nazis, while other citizens commemorate the good word "freedom fighters" of the country, saying that such soldier 20 th Estonian SS division.

Morning, Russia's Ambassador to Estonia Nikolai Uspensky placed on Tuesday at the military cemetery in Tallinn wreath at the monument to the Soldier-Liberator of the city from the Nazis. Wreath at the monument, which is popularly known as the Bronze Soldier, placed well Consul General of Belarus in Estonia, Alexander Ostrovsky.

Eugene, thanks for the information. Interesting. Be sure to take advantage of it.

P.S. And you good luck in all endeavors.

Eugene, why you do not want to calmly understand the essence of the problem? You say the slogans, disturbing and confusing different concepts. Phenomena similar to our Stalinism, took place in the history of many countries. But no one calls, for example, Bonapartism or kromvelializm fascism. The concept of "fascism" has an absolutely clear definition, without a reasonable understanding of this dialogue is impossible. The substitution of one concept by another will only lead to confusion, in every way that I would like to avoid. We can not change events. We can not deny the evidence of historical events. A phenomenon, in turn, form a specific historical context. Each phenomenon has characteristics that distinguish them from each other. And there were some features in common does not make these phenomena identical. The first and defining characteristics of fascism tells us that it is - «ideology of militant racism, anti-Semitism and chauvinism ...» (explanatory Dictionary Ozhegova). You can not attribute this feature to Stalinism under any circumstances. This is the main thing that was condemned and called a criminal by the international community in fascist ideology, and therefore, at least, the lack of this feature shows that these concepts are not identical.

There are other arguments against your version. Then again, I shall quote, which sets out very clear differences between fascism of Stalinism:

"Stalinism - a false notion. Stalinism is not comparable with fascism, but with "napoleonizmom" or "kromvelionizmom. Stalinism - is not the ideology of racial, national, or even social superiority. Stalinism - a statement of the role of personality in the post-revolutionary form of government of the USSR, and Nazism - the ideology of racial and national genocide. This is a fundamental difference. If Stalin was an advocate of world revolution, he would make use of the second world war for a decisive step in this direction. But he did just the opposite - to dissolve the world revolutionary organization - the Third International.

Stalinism - is not so much a child of ideology as a child of the revolution. And the same child, as the results of all the revolutions of previous epochs.

Soon the feast of the French Revolution. But Jacobinism and mass terror of the French Revolution terrible Stalinism. This event, incidentally, could also be an occasion for the resolution of the OSCE, if they are so fond of history ... "

From it can not escape. What can you do, I love to talk about politics. It is important to do not what to talk about, and with whom.
If the article you seem weak, then could you point out these weaknesses. I would be interested to know your opinion. Only one wish, be constructive. I would like specifics. Will not talk, if we share general comments.

The war that we did not win, and Russian

Damir Muzafarov

War, which won not we. . . and Russian "- so opens his story to a prominent Western historian Norman Davies (Norman Davies) in" The Sunday Times ", United Kingdom, November 7, 2006.

In 1945, none of the Soviet troops who took Berlin would not have believed that it will be not so many years, as the False Dmitry write fairy stories about how the US-British troops swoop defeated Hitler, and that more than half a century, Western historians are daring to convince his countrymen in the truth about the Soviet soldier - the liberator of the world from the yoke of fascism.

Myth

First, who submitted false information about the Great Patriotic War (WWII) was ... Joseph Stalin. November 6, 1941, he stated that for 4 months WW II the Soviet Union lost 350 thousand dead and missing 378 thousand people, wounding 1 миллион 20 thousand people. During the same period the Germans had lost in killed, wounded and captured more than four and a half million people. No matter what the loss of Hitler's close to the number of Fascists, had crossed the border of the USSR. Important thing. In an attempt to mobilize the country and raise the military and civic spirit, Stalin went to lie. Experts believe, with the objective that Stalin had overestimated the loss of the fascists in 6-7 times, and their own reduced by 6-8 times. White lie? At that crucial moment in history it was justified.

In another historic moment, the formation of a new world order, the first volume of Churchill's history of the Second World War »(The Second World War, 1948). It states that "the driving axle" in the war belongs to neither more nor less, and the UK. And only "self-sacrificing resistance" Albion, slave Churchill, opened the way to the victory over fascism. As part of the Anti-Hitler coalition, Churchill joined the major allies of England, - the U.S. and the USSR. This allowed the British to drive the fascist Herod in his own lair and destroy. Moreover, the Allied landing in Normandy, according to the version of Winston Churchill, is equivalent to the value of the victories of the "Russian" on the Eastern Front.
 
Winston Churchill once said that "history will be kind to me - because I myself will write it" - points out in his article, J. Norman. As you can see, he has succeeded. Here are just a lie "saving" anything but.

Add this only on the conscience of Winston Churchill not for one small reason that it is the first volume, as noted by D. Norman, and became a platform for all of Western publications on the history of the Second World War. Born is the falsehood, which in the opinion of many Americans in harmony with the phrase: "without the U.S. the whole world would speak German." And to perpetuate the myth of Churchill, in the United States was even a special museum "D-Day", a sight for feature films about the Second World War.

Certainly. In the rout of fascism must pay tribute to all the allies, especially the United States and Britain. Yet the statements of American citizens seem, at least, is absurd, so greatly underestimate the role of chief blacksmith victory - the Soviet people.

Dispelling the myth. Opinion foreign authors.

Norman Davies, a British historian

Throughout the postwar years, the West received information about the war in Eastern Europe gradually, not in full, and sometimes inaccurate. In the end, popular in the West, the fact that if the United States and Great Britain would not be pinned down 56 German divisions in France, the Soviet Union would suffer defeat. Much less known fact that another - if the 150 German divisions would not be destroyed by the Red Army, the Allied landing would never have happened. On the Eastern Front, Nazi Germany lost 75%-80%of the soldiers. Consequently, the Allies destroyed no more than 20%of the soldiers of the Wehrmacht. Since Britain fielded a total of 28 divisions, Americans - 100, "physical" contribution Albion to victory in this sense is about 5%-6%of Americans is 15%. That such a "simple" arithmetic.

Advocates of "decisive contribution" of the West in the victory over fascism suggests that it is impossible to lose sight of other aspects of warfare - from industrial production to exploration. Impossible, they say, conceal large amounts of material and technical assistance to the USSR, especially the fact that the Allied bombing of cities in Germany and the Anglo-American navy had been of great support to the Red Army.

Nobody is going to deny it and, moreover, say nothing. But forgotten that the main way of warfare all the same ground fighting. Victory on the ground - that's what makes a win-win. And here the Red Army far exceeded the armed forces of allies. During the defeat of the troops of Marshal Rokossovskogo only one Nazi Army Group Center "in 1944 in Belarus were destroyed as many divisions of the Wehrmacht, as included in all the German group on the Western Front. And only the Allied landing in Normandy is worthy of inclusion in the list of 10 major battles of the Second World War.

Laurent Geoffrin (Laurent Joffrin) - Chief Editor of «Le Nouvel Observateur»

Soviet soldiers, and none other, tore the flag with a swastika from the dome of the Nazi Reichstag. Must be remembered that the June 6, 1944 in western Europe, of which 50 are fascist divisions. At the same time, more than 200 divisions fought on the east against the Red Army. While preparing to open a second front, five million Wehrmacht soldiers were sent to the eastern front. The Soviet people were going to die near Moscow. They stood in the blockade of Leningrad, defeated the Nazis at Stalingrad, came to Berlin and Prague.

The number killed during WWII speaks for itself. Soviet Union lost an estimated 27 million men, women and children (or 14%of the pre-war population). U.S. 300 000 (0.3%). United Kingdom 400 000 (0.6%).

Only the incredible heroism of the Soviet people did not allow Hitler to defeat the Soviet Union and build an impregnable "fortress Europe". It would have happened and the peoples of Europe would have to bow to "God knows who." Fascism was defeated in Russia and by Russia. And it is time the West to acknowledge it.

Richard Overy, a British historian

Of course, the allies had an overwhelming material superiority over the enemy in 1945. However, the critical point in the war have, nevertheless, in the years 1942-1943. When the USSR was on the verge of defeat, the U.S. Army has yet been formed. Rommel came to Egypt, and the outcome of the "Battle of the Atlantic" was not clear. Allied victory was by no means guaranteed. The scales in their favor tempted fierce resistance to the Soviet people on the Eastern Front.

Soviet Union defeated Hitler's army is not the number and fanaticism, and inventive tactics and weapons. Otherwise, the fascist army would continue to be victorious, and economic resources of the Eurasian empire of Germany would put the Western allies in a terrible position.

Lend-Lease - that, according to R. Overy, distinguishes the contribution of allies. In relative terms, the armament was a small fraction of all shipments, although in absolute terms of delivery were impressive: almost 15,000 aircraft (to May 1945 remained in service 9000 aircraft), and more than 7000 tanks. However, Soviet soldiers did not consider these weapons quality. And according to many local historians, it would not play a special role in the victory over Nazi Germany.

Was important raw materials, food and vehicles. It was delivered 427000 тысяч trucks and passenger cars. This allowed Soviet industry to focus on the production of armaments. Moreover, it is the American Studebaker in 1942, established the legendary "Katyusha".

Speaking about his leading role in the victory over Japan, Western historians have noted, the U.S. and Britain somehow "forget" about the impressive contribution of Asian countries in the defeat of militarist Japan. First and foremost, isolate China, which gave 20 million lives. The absolute magnitude of the tragedy comparable to the Soviet Union. Moreover, in technical terms (especially tanks and aircraft) and military training of Japan noticeably inferior to Hitler's army.

Eugene, please read another article published in my diary (I think it very accurately and fully to a question that you raise):

«Was Stalinism ideology like fascism? Nes whether he ideas of national racism?

Stalinism - a false notion. Stalinism is not comparable with fascism, but with "napoleonizmom" or "kromvelionizmom. Stalinism - is not the ideology of racial, national, or even social superiority. Stalinism - a statement of the role of personality in the post-revolutionary form of government of the USSR, and Nazism - the ideology of racial and national genocide. And this is a fundamental difference. If Stalin was an advocate of world revolution, he would make use of the second world war for a decisive step in this direction. But he did just the opposite - to dissolve the world revolutionary organization - the Third International.

Stalinism - is not so much a child of ideology as a child of the revolution. And the same child, as the results of all the revolutions of earlier ages.

Soon the feast of the French Revolution. But Jacobinism and mass terror of the French Revolution terrible Stalinism. This event, incidentally, could also be an occasion for the resolution of the OSCE, if they are so fond of the story ...

Condemns "civilized" humanity collectivization? Ok! Apparently, humanity can not do otherwise. And what about the first experience of "collectivization", which, however, came not from the goals of industrialization and the ideas of world revolution, but of the greed of personal gain - fencing of land in England? Let us put this together. And then it becomes clear that the collectivization of Stalinism still a pale shadow of anti-humanism "enclosures" in the "civilized" England.

Stalinism can be condemned as a violent practice of implementation of social ideas and the implementation of qualitative social change. But this is possible only in one case. If the same manner be condemned practices such as social revolutions of the transition to industrial society - English, French and others. And not just in the past ... We can recall in this series all the "velvet" revolution, "the war for freedom" in Afghanistan, Iraq, and not only them ... "




«A little truth about the words

  What is this phenomenon - totalitarianism?

Totalitarianism characterizes the form of political organization of society and also its form of social organization. This feature provides a variety of industrial societies, as a rule, at the stage of their formation, but also extends to their development stage. While totalitarian societies in reality did not exist and not exist. This word born in the international political confrontation of the Cold War and, by and large, meaningless. His main point - the psychological attachment called these words the assessment relationship to society as a "bad".

OSCE has, "aware that the transition from Communist dictatorship to democracy can not be achieved overnight and that it should also take into account historical experience and cultural heritage of the countries" [7].

The resolution, which appeals to the truth, as something very easy to make synonyms more controversial ideas: Stalinism - totalitarianism - a communist dictatorship. And as the truth has already given an assessment of all societies of the socialist camp in the 70-80-ies as a "Communist dictatorship". Although these societies may have been much further from the spiritual and political dictatorships than modern Europe. Dictatorships also have different social forms and can be even legal state and even by popular vote.

The same is meaningless in this resolution and the notion of democracy. They differ only estimate "bad - good". Although the question of what is good and what is bad - this is not an issue on which the OSCE could, or ever will be able to answer.

And, perhaps, the OSCE will say where and what the terrible and horrible Osama Bin Laden? As a long time ago it does not, and no one even remembers that he was and is. But it should according to the scenario to continue to spin a web of its terrorism and it must occur here and there ... He has to much more interested in the OSCE than the issue of past history. We are talking about human rights today. But the ghost appeared when needed and just melted in the air like a mirage when the need for it disappeared. Now the place occupied by Osama swine flu crisis and other fears, created in recent years .... "New threats," as the OSCE resolution calls them ... "
