Sometimes the logic of our liberal-minded compatriots, their naive belief that “here, here we will be accepted into a Western family,” amazes, but this requires ……… And here this “NECESSARY” changes depending on the time when these mantras are pronounced. Either for this you need to dissolve the Warsaw Pact Organization and leave Eastern Europe, then you need to disarm, then give up Crimea, in general the list is endless. Only for some reason our liberals forget the goals of the West.
How many centuries do you think the Drang nach Osten project is? And who now remembers that the Elbe River was named Laba? And the cities? Brandenburg - Branibor, Bautzen - Budishin, Volgast-Vedegosch, Schwerin-Zverin, Oldenburg-Stargrad. There are enough such names on the map of Europe. In 1147, under the slogan - "Baptism or death", Europeans wipe out the tribes of the Wends, Slavs living on the coast of the Baltic Sea. Even then, the main distinguishing feature of the Western conquerors appeared in all its glory. Ruthless ruthlessness to the vanquished! The defeated peoples were faced with the most unwise choice: either uncomplaining obedience or death. Do you think the Crusaders were worried about faith? Not at all. Here are the words from the call of Pope Eugene 3 - “If the crusaders wish, they can conquer the best country to settle. Although the heathen are filthy,their land is richly endowed with meat, honey and flour. " Notice no hesitation, the goals are clearly marked.
Time passes, and what do you think our "Western partners" have calmed down? Yes, not in life. In the 1230s, Pope Gregory IX announced a crusade against "heretics and schismatics" (which in the eyes of Catholics were the Orthodox). This crusade was fought, for a long time, by the Russian princes - Yaroslav Vsevolodovich, Alexander Yaroslavovich (Nevsky) and Dmitry Alexandrovich Pereyaslavsky (son of Alexander Nevsky).
At the same time, what we call Russophobic propaganda, which has survived to this day, begins to flourish;
"Muscovites are not Christians, but cruel barbarians belonging to Asia and conspiring with the Turks and Tatars to destroy Christendom." King Sigismund I
"Russia is a dwarf, I will put her on her knees." Karl 12th, 18th century.
"I will conquer backward Russia." Frederick, mid-18th century.

“Soldiers! The second Polish war began. The first ended in Friedland and Tilsit. In Tilsit Russia vowed to be in eternal alliance with France and in war with England; now she breaks her vows! She does not want to give any explanation for her strange actions, until the French eagles retreat beyond the Rhine and thus leave their allies to her will.
Russia is passionate about rock. Her destiny must come true. Does she think that we are reborn? Or are we no longer soldiers of Austerlitz? She decides us between dishonor and war. The choice cannot be questioned. Let's go forward, we will cross the Niemen, we will bring the war into its borders.
The second Polish war will be as glorious for French arms as the first; but the peace that we conclude will bring with it a pledge for itself and put an end to the disastrous influence of Russia, which it had for fifty years on the affairs of Europe."
Napoleon Emperor of France 1812
This short text contains everything that the West had at all times. Napoleon invades Russia, but it is she who blames everything. Does this remind you of anything?
And if you dig into all the Russian-Turkish wars, and the Russian-Japanese, whose ears stick out behind the backs of the Turks and Japanese? That's right, our "Western partners".
World War I. How do you like the phrase uttered by British Prime Minister Lloyd George upon the news of the collapse of the Russian Empire: “One of the goals of the war has been achieved”? So while at that time, England was considered an ally of Russia. So they are not limited to phrases - on December 3, 1917, a special conference was held with the participation of the United States, England, France and their allied countries, at which a decision was made to delimit zones of interest in the territories of the former Russian Empire and establish contacts with national democratic governments. The Caucasus and the Cossack regions were designated as the zone of influence of England, Ukraine and the Crimea were assigned to France. On January 1, 1918, Japan brought its warships into the Vladivostok port under the pretext of protecting its subjects.
That is, they have already divided us. And note that the Entente acted this way, not to help the White movement. They did not hide their goals;
… “The expediency of assistance to the admin. Kolchak and gene. Denikin is all the more controversial because they are "fighting for United Russia" … It is not for me to point out whether this slogan is in line with British policy … One of our great people, Lord Beaconsfield, saw in a huge, mighty and great Russia, rolling like a glacier in the direction to Persia, Afghanistan and India, the most formidable danger for the British Empire "…
- British Prime Minister Lloyd George from the reports of the sessions of the English Parliament on November 8 and 17
… "The fight against Bolshevism is a good pretext for the stay of Japanese troops on foreign territory, and the support of the atamans allows Japan to exploit raw materials." “One of the ways Japan conquered a dominant position was the conduct of pan-Asian propaganda“Asia for Asians”and the desire to dismember Russia in order to create an“Asian union under the Japanese flag”in the future….
Historian N. S. Kirmel
And here is how these "allies" behaved:
… “The Mudyug concentration camp is a concentration camp created by representatives of foreign military intervention in northern Russia on Mudyug Island.
The camp buildings were built by the first batch of prisoners, numbering 134 people, who were engaged in deforestation, enclosing the camp territory with two rows of barbed wire three meters high, building a barrack and a punishment cell. The punishment cell was a pit 3 meters deep, 9 steps wide and 14 steps long. A log house of planks was erected over the pit; there was no light or heating in the pit itself. According to the recollections of one of the prisoners, the prisoners were given only two biscuits and water from food per day, from the constant cold people froze limbs, some froze to death. about the memories of another prisoner, the cells in the barracks were overcrowded, there were more than 60 prisoners in the cell for 14 people. In the entire barrack, designed for 100 people, there were more than 350 people. The prisoners were given 200 galettes, 175 g of canned food, 42 g of rice, 10 g of salt per day. With this daily quota, inmates were forced to do heavy labor; those who fell from exhaustion were lifted by French guards with rifle butts. Searches were arranged at night, with frequent beatings or being sent to solitary confinement. There was no bathhouse, soap, linen change, medical assistance. At the same time, typhoid, scurvy, dystrophy, and parasites have spread. The temperature in the barracks was about minus 8 degrees Celsius, as a result of which several people died of cold every night.”…. The temperature in the barracks was about minus 8 degrees Celsius, as a result of which several people died of cold every night.”…. The temperature in the barracks was about minus 8 degrees Celsius, as a result of which several people died of cold every night.”….
… “Having seized the peasants I. Gonevchuk, S. Gorshkov, P. Oparin and Z. Murashko, the Americans buried them alive for their connection with local partisans. And the wife of the partisan E. Boychuk was dealt with in the following way: they stabbed the body with bayonets and drowned in a cesspool. The peasant Bochkarev was disfigured beyond recognition with bayonets and knives: "the nose, lips, ears were cut off, the jaw was knocked out, the face and eyes were stabbed with bayonets, the whole body was cut up." At Art. Sviyagino, the partisan N. Myasnikov was tortured in the same brutal way, who, according to an eyewitness, "first cut off his ears, then his nose, arms, legs, chopped to pieces alive" …
And General Graves himself, the commander of the American Expeditionary Force, later admitted: "From those areas where the American troops were located, we received reports of the murders and torture of men, women, children …"
Colonel of the US Army Morrow is no less frank in his memoirs, complaining that his poor soldiers … “could not sleep without killing someone that day. When our soldiers took the Russians prisoner, they took them to Andriyanovka station, where the cars were unloaded, the prisoners were brought to huge pits, from which they were shot from machine guns. " The "most memorable" day for Colonel Morrow was the day "when 1,600 people were shot in 53 wagons."
Of course, the Americans were not alone in these atrocities. The Japanese invaders were in no way inferior to them. So, for example, in January 1919 the soldiers of the Land of the Rising Sun burned down the village of Sokhatino, and in February - the village of Ivanovka. Reporter Yamauchi from the Japanese newspaper Urajio Nippo testified: “The village of Ivanovka was surrounded. 60-70 yards, of which it consisted, were completely burned, and its inhabitants, including women and children (300 people in total) were seized. Some tried to hide in their homes. And then these houses were set on fire together with the people who were in them."
Civilized nations are immediately visible, isn't it? And what about Polish concentration camps? How many Red Army prisoners were killed there? The "brave" Polish zholnezhes had an interesting entertainment - working off the felling of vines on captured Russians. Very European, isn't it? And then, in 1941, more Europeans came. What they got up I think everyone knows.
We are used to the fact that they say Germany attacked the USSR, but at the same time we forget who else was with Germany.
So 1941.
Together with Germany, Finland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Italy were preparing to enter the war with the USSR.
Finland - 17.5 divisions with a total strength of 340 thousand 600 people, 2047 guns, 86 tanks and 307 aircraft;
Slovakia - 2.5 divisions with a total strength of 42,500 men, 246 guns, 35 tanks and 51 aircraft;
Hungary - 2.5 divisions with a total strength of 44,500 men, 200 guns, 160 tanks and 100 aircraft;
Romania - 17.5 divisions with a total strength of 358,100 men, 3255 guns, 60 tanks and 423 aircraft;
Italy - 3 divisions with a total strength of 61,900 people, 925 guns, 61 tanks and 83 aircraft.
Add here, in addition to the direct allied countries, the foreign units of the Wehrmacht, the so-called "national SS divisions", a total of 22 volunteer divisions. During the war, 522 thousand volunteers from other countries served in them, including 185 thousand Volksdeutsche, that is, "foreign Germans". The total number of foreign volunteers was 57% (!) Of the Waffen-SS. Let's list them. If this tires you, then just estimate the number of lines and the geography. All of Europe is represented, with the exception of the principalities of Luxembourg and Monaco, and that is not a fact.

The 36th SS Grenadier Division "Dirlewanger" was recruited from criminals from various European countries.
I repeat, we are talking about European volunteers, not about conscription, not about prisoners of war, not about deserters, forced to exchange service with the Germans for their own lives by the will of fate. About volunteers who deliberately enlisted in the SS to fight the Russians. The ethnic composition of the prisoners of war who ended up in our captivity by the end of the war speaks very eloquently about the very motley national composition of the troops opposing the Red Army. Simple fact: there were more Danes, Norwegians and even French prisoners on the eastern front than they participated in the resistance to the Nazis in their homeland. And we have not even touched on the topic of economic potential that worked for the German war machine. First of all, it is Czechoslovakia, the pre-war leader of arms production in Europe, and France. And this is artillery, small arms and tanks. For example,Czech arms concern "Skoda". Every third German tank that took part in Operation Barbarossa was produced by this company. First of all, this is the LT-35, which received the designation Pz. Kpfw in the Wehrmacht. 35 (t). Moreover, after the annexation of Czechoslovakia, German specialists found two new experimental LT-38 tanks in the Skoda workshops. After reviewing the drawings, the Germans decided to put the tank into service and began its serial production. The production of these tanks went on almost until the end of the war, only from the end of 1941 they began to be produced as a base for German self-propelled guns. More than half of the German self-propelled guns had a Czech base. The French, in turn, provided the Germans with their ship repair facilities. German submarines, the thunderstorm of the Allied Atlantic convoys, the so-called Doenitz Wolf Packs,were based and undergoing renovations on the southern coast of France and in the Mediterranean near Marseille. Moreover, the ship repair crews organized competitions to see who would repair the boat faster. Doesn't sound like a forced job, does it?
So with whom did the USSR fight in the Great Patriotic War? Although it would be more correct to formulate the question differently: who attacked the USSR in June 1941? Agree, looking at all these numbers, you already start to perceive that war differently.
1945 year. The war ends. And our Western "allies" immediately begin to develop plans. What do you think?
- Operation "Unthinkable" (English Operation Unthinkable). The plan for the land campaign involved the delivery of two main attacks in North-Eastern Europe in the direction of Poland. The area to the north of the Zwickau - Chemnitz - Dresden - Görlitz line was considered the best zone for an offensive. At the same time, it was assumed that the rest of the front would hold the defense. The attacks were supposed to be: northern, along the Stettin - Schneidemühl - Bydgoszcz axis; and southern, along the axis Leipzig - Cottbus - Poznan and Breslau.
- "Totality" - a plan of war against the USSR, developed at the headquarters of American General Dwight D. Eisenhower under President Harry Truman. The plan was developed in late 1945 and is the first in a series of similar American plans. The plan provided for dropping 20-30 nuclear bombs on 20 Soviet cities: Moscow, Gorky, Kuibyshev, Sverdlovsk, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Saratov, Kazan, Leningrad, Baku, Tashkent, Chelyabinsk, Nizhny Tagil, Magnitogorsk, Molotov, Tbilisi, Stalinsk (Novokuznetsk), Grozny, Irkutsk and Yaroslavl.
- "Chariotir" June 1948.
- "Fleetwood" September 1948.
- "Dropshot" (Eng. Dropshot) Developed in the United States plan of war against the Soviet Union and its allies. Was approved by the Chiefs of Staff Committee on December 19, 1949.
The plans of that time assumed to achieve success primarily due to the massive nuclear bombing of Soviet territory. One of the goals of the nuclear bombing was the physical destruction of the population. As you can see, no one was ashamed even then.
And in the future, Western politicians did not hide their feelings for us.
… "According to the estimates of the world community, it is economically expedient to live in Russia for 15 million people." …
Margaret Thatcher.
"If the Russians are stupid enough to try to rebuild their empire, they will run into conflicts that make Chechnya and Afghanistan seem like a picnic."
“We destroyed the Soviet Union, we will destroy Russia too. You have no chance"
"Russia is generally an extra country."
“Russia can be either an empire or a democracy, but it cannot be both. If Russia remains a Eurasian state, pursues Eurasian goals, it will remain imperial, and Russia's imperial traditions must be isolated. We will not observe this situation in a passive manner. All European states and the United States must become a united front in their attitude towards Russia."
… “Russia is a defeated state. She lost a titanic fight. And to say “it was not Russia, but the Soviet Union” means to run away from reality. This was Russia, called the Soviet Union. She challenged the United States. She was defeated. Now there is no need to feed illusions about the great power of Russia. We need to discourage this way of thinking … Russia will be fragmented and under guardianship. …
Zbigniew Brzezinski
… "I prefer chaos and civil war in Russia to the tendency of its reunification into a single, strong, centralized state" …
G. Kissinger
"… the task of Russia after the defeat of the Cold War is to provide resources to prosperous countries. But for this they need only fifty to sixty million people."
Prime Minister of Great Britain John Major.
As you can see, in their understanding, we are superfluous. So the war against us will never end. It will be different: cold, economic, informational, and so on. But it's still a WAR.
