I suggest reading an excellent article by Valery Ganichev. Ganichev first proposed, he began to collect documents and to prepare for the canonization of our church Admiral Fyodor Ushakov. Thanks to him, Ushakov was canonized as a righteous soldier in 2001. He published a book about the life and f. Fyodor Ushakov. http://go.mail.ru/search_images?&q=%...%E0%F2%ED%EEYA I have great respect Valery Ganichev. He's an old, quiet and very wise guy.
The word in the line
On the 70th anniversary of the Great Patriotic War
Valery Ganichev
Twenty-second of June
Exactly at four o'clock
Kiev was bombed, we were told
With the war began.
(Song of the war years)
BEFORE
In 1972, I on behalf of the Communist Youth League and the publisher of "Young Guard" Congratulations on the 75th anniversary of Marshal Zhukov. During the conversation, I asked him: "And yet, Georgy why we won?" Secretary of the Communist Youth League Central Committee looked at me with surprise, but the marshal, after a pause said: "The right question ... In fact, Germany on all counts then were better prepared for war than we do. Take the generals. We in the military academies, learned from Clausewitz, Schlieffen, Moltke. Prussian officer - this is a military stone, cast a whole. The German troops subjugated Europe and triumphantly walked the roads of France, Belgium, Poland, took Norway, Greece, Crete. England trembled. German technology at the beginning of the war was better than ours, "Messerschmitt" "Focke-Wulf", machine ... "Thinking Zhukov graduated, it seemed to me solemnly and edification:" We won because we had a brave and patriotic young men, politically skilled, mentally prepared to fight for their country. " To some extent, for us it was a revelation, though, may have said in response to the presence of a delegation of young people.

How does this ideology was elaborated, the spirit of patriotism which helped to raise a Soviet soldier-winner?
In the late 30s the country has seen an important and crucial event for the mass consciousness.
For the young reader came to the great lights, the master of words and high spirit, the Patriots of Russia. Imagine, if to us then a flood of American comic books, detective stories, vulgarity and pornography, which is today for young people? She stood up to the youth of those years to protect the homeland? "Yes, we would be better off Germans won, we would have long been drinking Bavarian beer," - said scavengers such fiction in the period of perestroika.
Ponositelyam rollicking country's history in the late 30's got. Demian Bedny chastushechnika and joker, psevdonarodnogo singer revolution, criticized the "Truth" for raising at the Chamber Theatre's plays "Heroes," where images were distorted epic heroes, does not disclose such properties of the national character, courage, valor, heroism, admitted " falsification of the national past. " The meaning of the publication, addressed to all the writer, was clear enough to scoff at the Russian heroes - they are still useful. At the same time there are more works of the great generals and heroes of the past. Get out books and films about Suvorov, Alexander Nevsky, Kuzma Minin, Bohdan Khmelnytsky. Impressed by the epic S. Sergeyev-Tsensky "Sevastopol suffering." This was an appeal to the images of Russian soldiers: Sailor Cats, Dashi Sisters of Charity of Sevastopol, a hero Shevchenko, admirals Nakhimov, Kornilov, the great surgeon Pirogov. As if in anticipation of war, its beginning and popular guerrilla movement to create a book of war heroes of the national type (Chapaev, Parkhomenko, Shors, Kochubey Lazo).
Before the war it became clear that we must rely on its people, its historical tradition, our shared history and the achievements of socialism, which is close to the masses (the absence of the exploiter class, the friendship of peoples, the general literacy, free education), the historical collectivism of our people.
The heroes of all proclaimed defenders of the Fatherland: Susanin, Minin and Pozharsky, Suvorov, Peter I. On their background, pale and almost disappeared from people's perception of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg, Clara Zetkin, Kingisepp, Sacco and Vanzetti. However, their names still called the streets, but cities, towns, streets named Trotsky, Zinoviev, Bukharin already returned the old names or the names of "Red Commanders".
In general, the ideologists of the Soviet Union altered, adapted the ideology to new world realities. However, to upgrade it to the beginning of the war did not fully succeed.
Before the war, our society does not represent a single conglomerate, as saying by the official propaganda.
It was already a considerable number of people who have accepted the idea of social equality, was fairly numerous younger generation has been schooled in the creative socialism in Magnitogorsk, Turksib, Dneproges, the Moscow metro, depicting their personal, marked by the state contribution. He was wise with a layer of people dedicated to the Cause. Some of them came from the highest age-old peasant life-giving obligations: "Dying is going, but this rye." Others, like one of my friends, Ph.D., saw its mission - to serve and work for the good of the Fatherland, not power.
He once in my 60 years of hard berated the "Bolsheviks", saying that not only loves, but hates them. I asked, "How do you award prizes and medals system, and not like spokesmen for her?". The answer was: "Yes, I do not like them and fought them, but in 1929, when he was proclaimed the country's industrialization plan, I realized that I need to strengthen the power of the country, its industry, although declared that the Bolsheviks. I decided to work on industrialization of the Fatherland. "
Among the not connected, not bonded by ties of social and patriotic unity with the government of the former ruling treated layer remaining in the country: peasants kulaks, raskazachennye Cossacks unjustly repressed, rejected from public life believers. Therefore, many from abroad, and within, blinded by the loss of property and the ideals of life, property, privileges, rampant injustice, it seemed a little push - and the country fall apart, fall apart into warring groups.
Hopes on the weakness of its eastern neighbor fed Hitler. His intelligence agents, many Russian immigrants reported on a split Soviet society. In addition to its own military power, Hitler was counting on internal opposition, the separatist forces on bribery and intimidation.
It seemed that it was possible. Some of these calculations are even true. There were many places where the occupants were in good faith policemen, elders. In western Ukraine, Crimea, Chechnya, the Baltics create teams nationalists in 1944 formed the so-called Liberation Army led by General Vlasov, a slogan which was "the liberation of Russia from Communism." But at that time people did not take these slogans from the people who fought against the alien weapons of its own country. On the whole Hitler hopes were not realized. And it was also a phenomenon of the Great Patriotic War.
Surprisingly, our people in these harsh, days of the war rallied. And it is typical for the Russian people in the face of large, deadly external threat to rally. Is it a time like this today? That's another conversation.
WRITERS AND THE WAR
In the meeting with GK Zhukov I gave him two books: "Quiet Flows the Don" (four volumes), first released in one book and the book "Oh, the Russian land!" (Anthology of Russian poetry of Russia). Marshal stroked "Quiet Flows the Don" and said: "His favorite writer!" And, browse the anthology, he added: "We are very much appreciated at the front of patriotic poetry!" Poetry, in the first place and came to the army in all forms. A special role is played by writers and journalists working in newspapers at all levels, from the national press before the hostilities sheets.
Next to this was "a great poetry," was the fire prose, which are created, cut, burned the image of the war, raised from the depths of people's consciousness the images of the homeland, the Warrior, Heroes, Hero, Raider.
The idea of the enemy, the idea of racial superiority of fascism could be defeated only other high spirited, understandable to all ideas. This idea was the idea of the homeland, the Union.
Suddenly a full-length, without pointing finger sketched an image of Russia, highlights the need of education of national consciousness, generalized experience of the great victories and defeats of didactic ("Lay", "Varangian"). Needed a new interpretation of literature and art of national cultural traditions. Vladimir Vishnevsky, in 1943 wrote in his "Diary": "In war, we quickly come to know itself with the national side. Woke up all the feelings, thoughts, instincts, revived the old tradition." By today's standards, this approach would be to condemn the "intolerance" and xenophobia. Then, as always, it was a salvation for the Russian people, for people of all nationalities.
The tragedy of June 22, cruelest of wars, appealed to the depths of people's consciousness, provoked a new approach to the Word, and the Russian language, for the memory.
While the agitprop peels for war slogans and ideas of III International, whose headquarters until 1944, was in Moscow, Stalin, who studied at the Orthodox Seminary, captured the essence of a new ideological war and appealed to the people with impossible earlier words: "Brothers and Sisters " And ended with the words that were already spoken in the temple of popular pastors: "Our cause is just! Enemy will be defeated! Victory will be ours!"
Before the victory was, however, still very far ahead was the road of retreat, millions of lives, burned towns and villages.
However, it became clear that the word comes out on top in the mental and spiritual encouragement, in the appeal to clarify, that was true, that gave rise to a fighter, a hard worker rear dedication of eliminating panic of helplessness, sadness, although the reasons for all this was enough.
But what of literature? Poetry, prose, journalism? Did they place in the ranks in battle, fighting in the ranks?
While it was possible to formulate her problem is simple: to help the front. Writers have merged with national destiny - went to the front. Almost all the writers in Leningrad and Rostov signed up as volunteers. In the battle for their country have killed more than 300 members of the Writers' Union, ten of whom were awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union. But they had to deal with the creative word to the feeling of thousands and millions of people. A truly epic phenomenon began in the early days of the war song by V. Lebedev-Kumach (music by A. Alexandrov) "Holy War". It seemed, from somewhere over there, these embossed, menacing and prophetic words:
Arise, great country.
Get up to fight to the death!
With the power of the Nazi dark,
With a horde of curse!
And then, as a formidable spell-prayer, in response to treachery:
Let noble fury
Boil like a wave -
War is popular,
Holy War!
It was a new language, a new symbol, it was a revelation effect of war and its sacred meaning: holy war. And what an abomination today opus give the Liberal Democrats, obseshnikov, historical falsification, declaring that the war was our only war the two totalitarian systems, a war of two tyrants, Hitler and Stalin, and, consequently, no it is not native and not sacred! Greater outrage memory of our fathers and grandfathers, even impossible to think.
On Heroes
Yes, in June-July 1941 by the Soviet Red Army and the country was hit brutal force. According to foreign military experts, Russian opposition to expected short-lived. British razvedkomitet argued that the war would last no longer than three to six weeks. Chief of the Imperial General Staff, D. Dill, added: "six to seven weeks." U.S. Secretary G. Stimpson suggested that "with the Russian will be finished in at least one or at most in two months." Slightly different was the opinion of Winston Churchill: "Almost all reputable military experts believed that the Russian army will soon be defeated and will be largely destroyed. President Roosevelt felt very brave man, when he was in September 1941 stated that the Russian will retain the front, and Moscow not be taken. Wonderful courage and patriotism of the Russian people have confirmed the correctness of this opinion. "
Historians of war draw attention to the defeat, to retreat, the massive destruction and surrender of Red Army soldiers at the beginning of the war. Seemed to cope with such a victorious enemy impossible. But were those heroes who fought to the death and destroyed enemy. Few people know that June 22 is the Soviet pilots shot down 200 German aircraft and carried out 10 rams.
Within 25 minutes after the start of the war Lieutenant John Smith rammed "He-111" near the town of Dubno. Posthumously he was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union.
And before the writers was to find these characters, vividly describe their exploits, admire them, to create an image of genuine folk warrior and just the terrible avenger.
At this time, and began appearing essays, pamphlets about the heroes. I remember first brought us to Siberia in September 1941, a booklet and a leaflet about the immortal pilot Gastello directed his burning plane into a German convoy. Portrait and soon - the picture long hung in our class.
In the 70 years I have produced a book, NM Mikhailov, a former first secretary of the Komsomol in the war. He told me that Stalin had specially summoned him to the Kremlin and asked to follow closely the exploits of the Komsomol and personally report the most heroic boys and girls. That was when there were brochures, lightning, booklets, leaflets and posters of the young heroes of the war.
We all knew in school while about the heroism of fifteen books of Leonid Golikov Yu Korolkova "Guerrilla Golikov Lenya." Particularly well known was the Komsomol underground feat Sasha Chekalin posthumously awarded the Gold Star of Hero of the Soviet Union. His name is called Komsomol shift watch.
The whole country was known for "The Young Guard" of Krasnodon. Initially, there were heads of the young heroes of the underground, and then - and which became a book by Aleksandr Fadeev. Recently I discovered that none of today's young people do not read this book. So washed out of the national consciousness heroes. This operation is deep deep sound, and already a considerable number of years has been the heirs of Joseph Goebbels, though they hide behind a piece of democracy.
"GOD SAVE YOU ..."
And more importantly, what went into the life of the whole country in 1941 - a great twist to the Faith, to God, the soul.
And the Russian Orthodox Church has expressed itself in these terrible days as the spiritual guide of the people, the first few hours found the precise and accurate words to his compatriots.
She did not have to look for these words and calls - they came out of the Gospel, from the temple of Russian history. June 22, 1941 on the church calendar - All Saints Day, a Russian Earth Beamed. At Epiphany Cathedral served the liturgy. And here's war! As soon as the speech was made Commissar for Foreign Affairs, VM Molotov, who came to worship locum tenens, Metropolitan Sergius was to send a message "pastors and the flock of the Christian Orthodox Church." It was said: "fascist bandits attacked our homeland. Flouting all agreements and promises, they suddenly fell upon us, and that the blood of civilians already irrigate their land. Repeat times of Batu, the Teutonic Knights, Charles Swedish, Napoleon. Pitiful descendants of the enemies Orthodox Christianity want to try again to put our people to their knees in front of a lie, naked force, to compel him to sacrifice the good and the integrity of the motherland, blood covenants of love for their fatherland. "
Metropolitan in the first epistle of the Church as it pulls together, stitch the story of our people. "But not the first time the Russian people have to withstand such tests. With God's help and this time he will scatter the enemy: the Nazi power. Our ancestors did not lose heart and in the worst position, because begging is not about personal risks and benefits, as a sacred duty to his to their country and faith, and came out victorious ... Motherland is protected by the common people's arms and heroism, the general willingness to serve their country in time of trial heavy with whatever one can. "
Stunning for propaganda were the words: "Let us remember the saints of the leaders of the Russian people, for example, Alexander Nevsky, Dmitry Donskoy who believed their souls for the people and homeland. And not only did the leaders. Remember untold thousands of ordinary Orthodox soldiers, whose names are obscure Russian people immortalized in his glorious legend of the hero Ilya of Murom, Dobrynya Nikitich and Alesha Popovich, utterly routed the Nightingale the Robber ... If anyone, it is we need to remember Christ's commandment: "More than spreading the love imat negligible, so who lay down his life for his friends." lay down his life not only those who will be killed on the battlefield for his people and his blessing, and anyone who sacrifices himself for the sake of profit or the motherland. "
The message ended with a solemn, high sacrificially: "The Church of Christ bless all Orthodox to defend the sacred borders of our country. The Lord will grant us victory."
It was signed: Patriarchal Locum Tenens humble Sergei, Metropolitan of Moscow and Kolomna. Moscow, June 22, 1941
A stunning document. What Stalin said on July 3, November 7, 1941, what at first timidly, then more strongly stated by Soviet propaganda and even our literature, Acting Patriarch wrote in the early hours of the war. After all, had not yet arrived or leaflets or posters calling for the fight. Battle agitprop has thoughtfully looked at their old slogans about class solidarity and unity of the proletarians of all countries, but the church has already identified the face of the enemy, pointed to the origins of the impending victory in the escalating war in the holy people.
In the face of national danger the church has called for national unity to fight the invaders, aggressors and occupiers. All Orthodox churches of Russia, the Soviet Union only prayed for the victory of Russian people. And hundreds of thousands of Orthodox people dare and fought to the death, waiting for salvation from the Lord. In St. Petersburg, still show two narrow window of his cell, where, during the siege of Leningrad lived Metropolitan Alexy of Leningrad and Novgorod, the future Patriarch of All Russia. In the siege - starvation and cold - a city of temples, burned candles, people prayed. Metropolitan daily prayers made to St. Nicholas, went around with an icon of the Mother of God on the cross passages temples and prayed "for the salvation of this city and the temple."
Unforgettably vivid word was said Alexis Metropolitan of Leningrad during the liturgy in the Episcopal Cathedral of the Epiphany in Moscow on 10 July 1941. Word of the future patriarch, I would put today in an anthology for students. Lord of Alexis began: "Patriotism is a Russian guided around the world. The special properties of the Russian people, he has a special character of the deep, passionate love for his homeland. This love can only be compared with the love of his mother, with the loving care of her. It seems in any language next to the word "homeland" does not put the word "mother", as we have. We're not just home, but the mother-country, and how much deep meaning in this combination, the two most expensive for a man of words! Russian man is infinitely attached to his homeland, which for him more than all the world. " (There is no doubt that the so-called "civilized" intellectuals, posing on high assemblies, accustomed to destroy all Russian, and it is a word spoken in the face of death in the face of fascist aggression, now may be counted among the category of rabid chauvinism and Stalinism. - V. T .)
Here's how! Hierarchs of the persecuted and oppressed of the Orthodox Church saw that the Soviet Russia, the Soviet Union saves the world and human civilization, and the current "civilizer" destalinizatory, trying to throw mud at Russia, its past, equate Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union with one purpose: to justify the destruction and the destruction of the great country.
SCIENCE OF HATE
Now the table of symposia and conferences like to talk about lack of humanity in relation to the enemy, but in 1941 it was a matter of life and death. It was necessary not only to stop the enemy, but to destroy it. The concepts of "German" and "fascist" very soon merged into one. Germany became a hotbed, where creeping death.
Clearest expression of this trend was a phrase of Ilya Ehrenburg, "Kill the Germans!" Became the slogan of the war. He wrote: "We knew the Germans - not people. Henceforth, the word" German "discharge the gun. Do not we say we will not resent - we will kill them. If you did not kill a day at least one German, your day is gone. If you kill one German - kill the other. There is nothing more fun for us German corpses ... Kill the Germans! - it asks old mother. Kill the German - begging you baby. Kill the German - screaming native land. "
Leonid Leonov: "Everything pales in front of them - a subtle cruelty of medieval Europe, fiercely inventive torturers masters of Asia. There is no suffering, what would not be inflicted on our people by these inhuman monsters."
The longer the unfolding pattern of atrocities, torture, destruction, the stronger grew the feeling of hatred for the enemy, it grows with each new person killed, burned every village, every town bombed.
In 1999, a delegation of the Russian Writers Union has been in Belarus. With us was Vladimir Karpov, the Hero of the Soviet Union, fought bravely in battle and captured 74 "language". The university town of Vitebsk he was asked: "What kind of feelings you had when killing a man?" Karpov was white and answered sharply: "I did not kill a single man, I killed subhumans. I saw how they raped the girls as babies smashed head ... And you're talking about man?" Probably the same thing they say and the famous verses by Alexei Surkov, written at the beginning of the war.
The man leaned over the water
And suddenly I saw that he was white.
A man was twenty years old.
Above the forest brook, he vowed
Ruthlessly, violently executed
Those murderers that are broken to the east.
Who dares accuse him,
If he will be tough in a fight?
Today there are such - and would only be good in the West - who used to consider Russia a brutal, terrifying her kings (Ivan Teribl, that is to say, Ivan the Terrible), but forget how to be destroyed "civilizations" whole peoples and nations (U.S. Indians, Slavs of Prussia , Mayans, Incas, Aztecs, African nations, etc.). But our liberal humanists, well, can not remember before the 70th anniversary of the war that the German fascist invaders destroyed the Soviet cities in 1710, more than 70 thousand villages and hamlets (!), Were killed 6 million buildings.
Homeless 25 million, were destroyed or damaged 31 850 enterprises. Almost 17 (!) Million of our citizens were killed by bombing towns and villages, on roads evacuation in the concentration camps in German captivity, died from forced labor in Germany. It was the mass genocide in history, the majority of the dead were the Russian people. And that is why so harsh and angry words of the writer was the country and so it was necessary.
Sholokhov hero Lt. Gerasimov said of himself: "I hate Nazis Heavily for what they have done my country and me personally, and at the same time with all my heart love my people and I do not want him to suffer under the Nazi yoke. It is this what makes me, and all of us to fight with such ferocity. You understand that we brutalized, watching everything that worked the Nazis, but otherwise could be. It is these two emotions embodied in action, and bring us victory . And if the love for the country is kept in our hearts and will be stored for as long as the heart beat, the hatred of the enemy always, we wear on the tips of bayonets ("The Science of Hatred").
It seems to me that there is a great writer has identified that a genuine hatred for the enemy coming from love of country, and the atrocities of the occupiers and invaders. And it warned Stalin that Hitlers come and go, but people still German, and that we can not identify the Germans and Fascists, not accepted by either the soldiers who saw the atrocities, no writers and journalists, to describe them. It is only when our troops entered in 1945 in Europe, had, as in a famous article in "Pravda", "Comrade Ehrenburg easy" to distinguish between these concepts, to show that in Germany we have to distinguish from the German fascist. The victory came when the soldier's hatred receded into the background and the foreground out humanity, humanity and, of course, memory.

In Halliburton stole even the ordinary supply vessels
Simon RYBNIKOV, March 18, 2005
Further continuation of the scandal was the corporation Halliburton. Thursday was charged with the former supply vessels of one division of the company - the firm Kellogg, Brown and Root - Jeff Alex Mazon. He is accused of misappropriation of several million dollars from the military budget of the United States.
In that case Mason goes along with a Kuwaiti businessman Ali Hijazi - owner of the company LaNouvelle General Trading and Contract. Fun supplied fuel and the U.S. Army, as evidenced by these investigators, not bad for this abound. Overstating the price of petroleum products in the spring and summer of 2003 they managed to keep in their pockets more than $ 3.5 million of government funds.

LaNouvelle won the right to supply U.S. military with fuel, having won the tender. However, the strangeness of the situation was in fact (and later noticed that the prosecutors), which together with her in the competition involved another company, which offered more favorable terms. However, the military of a sudden decided to be generous and have chosen the conditions worse.
Winning did not agree with not only competitors but also ... attention! .. itself Halliburton. As reported yesterday by representatives of the corporation, and a half years ago, its auditors were very surprised, why is their "daughter" won the contest, and showed up to check into the office to Mason. There they tried to find out details of the transaction. Halliburton representative declined to say whether managed to find a Kellogg, Brown and Root something interesting.
Recall that during the recent war in Iraq, company Halliburton, which once led by Vice President Dick Cheney of the United States, was one of the main suppliers of the U.S. Army. Later, the corporation was embroiled in numerous corruption scandals. According to the report of auditors, the case of Kellogg, Brown and Root - this is just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, the blow Halliburton, was much stronger. With a total cost of supplies $ 875 million, the corporation could "heat up" the budget at least $ 108 million.

The U.S. military is stealing
09.06.2005
Report of the main control management (CCU) of the USA was an outcome of testing the effectiveness of the Pentagon to sell unneeded, obsolete or damaged equipment during the period from 2002 to 2004. Members of the Subcommittee on National Security Congress received data validation much earlier than the Civil Code of publication, and therefore the day the report was held hearings on the audit.

Speaking before members of Congress executive director of MAS Special Investigations Gregory Kutts stated that "DOD is not effectively control that ensures the sale of unnecessary equipment to the highest possible, at market prices." According to the CCU from 2002 to 2004, the Pentagon sold at a bargain price of almost 10%available to him new equipment, the real value of which amounted to $ 3.5 billion in equipment worth $ 2.2 billion was given for free or for a nominal price. And part of the equipment sold was then purchased for $ 400 million
As an investigative experiment inspectors of the Civil Code under the guise of representatives of companies and individuals have acquired new equipment from the Pentagon about $ 3 thousand, while its real value is not less than $ 80 thousand, "Tents, boots and medical instruments, which we bought - Gregory told the congressmen Kutts - were completely new. How did you find the investigators, their price was 12 cents for every dollar of real value. "
During the congressional hearings revealed many more facts of negligence that is authorized by military quartermasters. In particular, it was found that the Pentagon lost 75 of costumes biological and chemical protection, as well as 20 bulletproof vests, which have not been found.
On the day of the hearing Democratic Congressman Robert Waxman, a long time critic of the White House for financial irregularities, has made another statement. According to him, data verification of the Civil Code "was no exception to the rule in the current administration." Congressman also recalled beskonkursnyh contracts, which distributes the administration at their discretion.
A source in the U.S. administration has refused to comment on the findings of the report of the Civil Code, citing the ongoing investigation. "The Pentagon - he said - is a huge structure in which, as in any organization of this magnitude, there may be some problems."
