About Russia's economy
How is it that Russia's economy, all under unbearable sanctions, plus the costs of war, is growing and is not going to stop?
This is a big miscalculation by Western economists and all sorts of think-tanks.
Revenues remained in the economy and stopped leaking to the West (at least not in the same amounts as before). Going forward, we can expect to see even more growth.

How We Won the Cold War
VICTORYThe Reagan Administration's Secret Strategy That Hastened the Collapse of the Soviet Union.By Peter Schweizer.284 pp. New York:The Atlantic Monthly Press.
SOMETIMES American foreign policy debates seem governed by a Newtonian law stipulating that for every stupid, overstated, politically inspired argument there is an equally stupid, overstated, politically inspired counterargument. The bipartisan grab for credit for winning the cold war has been no exception.
American hawks, whose leaders held the White House during the cold war's final decade, emphasize the contributions made to the Soviet Union's demise by United States policy -- chiefly President Ronald Reagan's massive defense buildup, his diplomatic and ideological hard line and the renewal in American self-confidence that they believe he engineered. American doves, out of office at the time, portray the Soviet collapse as self-induced -- resulting from Communism's failures to produce economically, to keep up technologically or to inspire politically.
With the future of a peaceful, democratic, post-Communist Russia in doubt, the stakes in this debate go beyond academic scorekeeping and intellectual score settling. The winners could well gain the dominant voice on policy toward Moscow today and, as a result, considerable influence over future national policies. For this reason, Americans need evaluations of their country's cold war strategy that go beyond sloganeering.
Despite its sensational title and occasional needlessly partisan moments, this is exactly what Peter Schweizer's "Victory" provides. Mr. Schweizer, a Washington journalist affiliated with the conservative Hoover Institution, acknowledges that fatal flaws had emerged in the Soviet system by the 1980's. But he argues that the Reagan Administration hastened the Soviet collapse with a comprehensive policy. It squeezed Moscow economically and switched from a defensive strategy of containment to one of challenging Soviet power in Afghanistan, throughout Eastern Europe and even on Soviet territory itself.
Basing his book on interviews with top Reagan policy makers (especially in the intelligence community) and Soviet officials, as well as on classified American documents, Mr. Schweizer describes how the President and his national security team got the surprise of their lives when they entered office in 1981. After spending most of the previous decade warning against the rise of Soviet power and aggressiveness, the Reagan Administration discovered that Moscow was wheezing economically. At the urging of the new Director of Central Intelligence, William J. Casey -- the mastermind of the victory strategy, according to Mr. Schweizer, and the focus of the narrative -- the United States launched an all-out overt and covert economic war on the Soviets.
MR. SCHWEIZER says the Reagan military buildup sought not only to strengthen American forces, but also to strain Moscow's limited economic base. The centerpiece of this military effort was a policy of greatly expanded research and development on high technology weapons. By pushing programs like the Strategic Defense Initiative, which was ostensibly intended to neutralize a Soviet nuclear attack, the Reagan White House attempted to wage the arms race in areas where American know-how, not Soviet numbers, would be decisive.
The United States also sought to shut off a major Soviet source of hard currency by blocking Moscow's oil and gas exports to Western Europe (with only limited success, as Mr. Schweizer recognizes) and by persuading Saudi Arabia to help drive down world oil prices (with much more success). The vise was tightened further, Mr. Schweizer contends, by restricting the eastward flow of Western credit and technology, thus denying the Soviets valuable financial resources and damaging the Soviet economy's military and civilian sectors.
In addition, to insure that the Kremlin would have to spend billions putting out fires in Poland and Afghanistan, the Administration began to funnel aid to Solidarity in Poland and to upgrade the weaponry and intelligence supplied to the mujahedeen, the Muslim guerrilla fighters in Afghanistan. Finally, Mr. Schweizer provides convincing reasons for concluding that Jimmy Carter, even a Jimmy Carter sobered by the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, would never have instituted a similar policy.
Whether or not the Reagan policies worked and did contribute decisively to winning the cold war, Mr. Schweizer's account adds significantly to our knowledge of the struggle's climactic stages. Although many of the tactics he describes were common knowledge, their strategic coordination has been largely unknown, and a number of the individual elements of the strategy have remained secret as well.
THE author's unfailing admiration notwithstanding, these policies add up to a puzzling and sometimes unsettling portrait -- of subtlety, guile and tactical brilliance existing side by side with what can only be called utter recklessness; of commendable audacity and ingenuity coexisting with serious disrespect for American political processes. Thus the same officials who orchestrated the delicate plan to depress world oil prices (clinched by telling Saudi Arabia's King Fahd of the dollar's coming devaluation) also urged the buzzing of Soviet air defenses not only with American fighter planes but with bombers as well. Those who secured tacit Vatican and active Swedish help for Solidarity also supported mujahedeen guerrilla operations inside the Soviet Union.
The revelations made by the author unintentionally are at least as stunning. American voters, for example, may be surprised to learn that in 1980 they elected a President who was not only tough on the Soviets, but who also soon became determined to back them into a corner, with all the risks that strategy entailed in those hair-trigger times. Indeed, Mr. Schweizer presents new evidence that Mr. Reagan's bellicose rhetoric and his Strategic Defense Initiative did in fact create fears in the Kremlin of an American nuclear attack.
Similarly, "Victory" sheds new light on Reaganomics. It turns out that critics who faulted the President for running up unpre cedented peacetime budget deficits were missing the point. In the minds of Mr. Reagan and associates like Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, the cold war period was not peacetime. And yet the Administration refused to seek public sacrifices to fight this "war."
Since, as the author acknowledges, "Victory" is more journalism than history, it is no surprise that he raises more questions than he answers. A first group of questions concerns methodology. Even for a book in the "now it can be told" genre, Mr. Schweizer's work needs greater documentation. In particular, too much vital information is attributed simply to anonymous Soviet or American sources. Skeptical readers will also have problems with many of the Soviet sources who are named, for in the post-cold-war world many financially strapped former Soviet operatives have learned how profitable stroking Western egos can be. Further, although the author clearly has interviewed many of Casey's chief aides, we hear nothing from the late director's bureaucratic opponents. Surely the story Mr. Schweizer tells of C.I.A. infighting has more than one side.
A second group of questions concerns the costs of victory. Some were legal and political. Like Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon and other cold war Presidents, Ronald Reagan purposely shut the American people and Congress out of decision making. Did the ends of victory always justify such means -- especially since the United States was always strong enough to avert foreign policy catastrophe? How long could huge covert paramilitary operations and arms-for-hostage deals have been continued without irreversibly damaging American political institutions and boosting public cynicism to levels no healthy democracy could tolerate?
Other costs were economic. Fighting a "war" without public knowledge or sacrifice may have helped Mr. Reagan win re-election. But in the process, many would argue, America's public finances were damaged, harming our economy and crippling our political capacity for dealing with a raft of growing domestic ills. And the Administration's obsession with victory in the cold war blinded it to growing threats on the industrial and technological fronts, with serious consequences for American living standards, for the country's long-term capacity to create wealth and even for its ability to support assertive foreign policies. As former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger sagely observed in a 1989 speech, the United States, too, crossed the cold war finish line gasping for breath. Some readers will undoubtedly complete "Victory" dismissing such complaints as nitpicking. Others will wonder if American democracy and prosperity can survive another such triumph in our still dangerous world. 'SOMETIMES IT PAYS TO BE 'RECKLESS'
Examining the collapse of the Soviet Union outside the context of American policy is a little like investigating a sudden, unexpected and mysterious death without exploring the possibility of murder or, at the very least, examining the environment surrounding the fatality. . . . The fact that the collapse and funeral of the Soviet Union occurred immediately after the most anti-Communist President in American history had served eight years does not prove cause and effect. But it does demand investigation. . . . Thus far, the investigation of Reagan policy in relation to the collapse of the Soviet Union has been scant. The focus has been almost exclusively on the policies of Gorbachev. This is somewhat akin to studying the collapse of the South after the Civil War by concentrating on the policies of Gen. Robert E. Lee without at least looking at the strategies employed by Gen. Ulysses S. Grant.
Some believe that little or no connection can be drawn between American policies in the 1980's and the collapse of the Soviet edifice. . . . Former Soviet officials do not share this view. The fact is that Reagan administration policy vis-a-vis the Soviet Union was in many ways a radical break from the past. There is also irony in this view, in that those who now believe American policy had little effect on internal events in the Soviet Union counseled in the 1970's and 1980's for an accommodating stance toward the Kremlin because it might moderate Soviet behavior. Reagan was called a "reckless cowboy" who might steer us all to the nuclear brink.
The fact the greatest geopolitical event since the end of the Second World War happened after eight years in the Presidency of Ronald Reagan has also been described as "dumb luck." It might be wise to recall, however, that when the exploits of a French commander particularly unpopular with his colleagues were dismissed as "luck," Napoleon retorted, "Then get me more 'lucky' generals."From "Victory."1

Ukrainian Soldiers Lament Russian Fighters’ Bunker Busting Glide Bomb Strikes Open ‘Gates of Hell’ on Their Fortifications
Interviewing frontline personnel from artillery brigades, including those from better equipped units using newly delivered Western howitzers, the Washington Post previously highlighted that units had been forced to reduce ammunition expenditure by 80-90 percent, and sometimes more, previously firing 50 and at times as many as 90 but now cutting this to just 10-20 rounds. This has only been worsened by Russia’s growing ability to provide air support and to launch tactical missile strikes as its inventories have grown and Ukrainian air defences have dwindled. Ukrainian casualties were already reported by sources on both sides to be extreme even before the depletion of its defences left its frontline personnel more vulnerable, with life expectancies at some frontline positions in 2023 being as low as four hours while conscript units, sent into high intensity combat with little training, were known to have casualty rates as high as 80-90 percent.

Aleksandr I. Kuprin, 1903
Time has become so expensive that night is soon to be turned into day, for the need for such a doubled life is already felt. A transaction that used to take months is now completed in five minutes. But even this damnable speed does not satisfy our impatience..... Soon we will see each other by wire at a distance of hundreds and thousands of kilometers!...! Meanwhile, only fifty years ago, our ancestors, going from the village to the "province", served a prayer service without hurry and set off with a supply sufficient for a polar expedition.

Kherson region (former Ukraine) to increase supplies of agricultural products to Russian regions
Kherson region intends to increase the supply of agricultural products to other Russian regions, regional government head Andrei Alekseenko said in his Telegram channel.
"Kherson region can provide vegetables and fruits not only for itself, but also for neighboring regions. To build up a share in the Russian market even despite the reduction of irrigated area due to the Nazi terrorist attack on the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power plant," Alekseenko wrote.
According to him, the region will increase subsidies to vegetable producers five times, and a subsidy for 16 fruit and berry crops has been approved.
"Previously, we subsidized only the production of strawberries, raspberries, watermelons and melons. Now serious support will also be provided to farmers who grow currants, blackberries, cherries, grapes, peach/nectarines, etc.," Alekseenko emphasized.
In addition, according to him, support is being provided to producers of cereals, milk, flour and bread.
"In total, 841 applications have already been accepted for a total amount of 1.2 billion rubles. The program of state support of agro-industrial complex of the region on the instructions of the President has been increased by last year almost 10 times," - added the head of the government.

Nevertheless, the main event of the week lies not in this movement of our troops.
The main event of the week is not this movement of our troops, but a magnificent strategic decision, thanks to which our planners have once again circled the Ukrainian armed forces around their finger.
In order to stop the advance of our troops on this section of the front, which, let me remind you, is more than 100 kilometers long, the Ukrainians consistently drove here about 80,000 reinforcements - in fact, everything they had.
This migration began, if you remember, more than a month ago, when ours suddenly began to move forward at the same time under Sinkovka on the northern flank and, having forced the Zherebets River, created the Karamzinovsky bridgehead. Then successively occupied the important station Kislovka, village Novoselovskoe, Krahmalnoe, came to the outskirts of Yampolovka and consolidated on the outskirts of Torskoye.
During the whole of August and September, the Ukrs tried desperately to stop this "Russian onslaught". And now, finally, Syrskyy (the Ukropsy "brakes" were commanded by this very figure) reported that he had managed to stop another attack. Or rather, in reality "almost stopped", while virtually he announced this a month ago.
But as we can see, his statement reached the front only after more than a month. And that's good, usually they don't reach the front at all - Syrsky has long since become a champion in virtual victories and at the same time the main loser of the AFU, nicknamed "Bloody" by the "Ukrops" themselves because of the monstrous losses that accompany all his military adventures.
There is such a parable in tongues and at the same time an ironclad rule - if you want a guaranteed death, go to fight under Syrsky, he always knows how to most effectively endanger his soldiers.
You will laugh, but exactly that (another complete asshole) happens this time. No sooner had Syrsky enjoyed his rare victory, than the sly-ass Russians made a mess of it again, bombing the main crossings of the Oskol River. And, thus, the 200 thousandth group of the Ugroes, accumulated on the section from Kremenna to Kupyansk, found itself trapped on the right bank of the Oskol.
And now look carefully at the map - in the widest place, next to the Torskiy protrusion, whose task, I remind you, is to control the most important crossing of the river Zherebets, which opens the road to Liman, Izyum, etc., the Ukrop bridgehead is about 30 kilometers. But for the most part, the width of this Ukropean bridgehead is between 10 and 20 km.
To savor the moment, we will pause for a moment (for those who have not yet guessed) and plunge for a moment into the past. It is believed that the highest concentration of means of defeat was achieved by the Red Army during the Battle of Kursk - there at Prokhorovka ours concentrated more than 90 artillery barrels per kilometer.
So on this site the concentration of means of defeat is even higher. Artillery (and, please note, no problem 30+), mortar, MLRS and on the sweet full domination of our aviation with FAB-500 so beloved to Ukrainians. And rockets with geraniums - they can't go anywhere either.
You know, what kind of a moron one has to be to consistently drive brigade after brigade, week after week, into this trap and beat oneself joyfully not even in the chest, but in the forehead. To win one informational victory after another, while all the obvious signs that you were being openly lured into the rat trap were there?
It is really necessary to be, I beg your pardon, a complete ukr, to get into the noose and have fun, have fun until you fall down.
For example, our troops mowed down all the nearby warehouses on the left bank of the Oskol (the Ukropean bank of the Oskol), but at the same time they defiantly did not touch any railroad junctions or bridges (another salute to our stupid couch, especially to those who taught our General Staff how to live correctly).
That is, for any Russian infantry lieutenant it was clear that on the right bank of the Oskol lies a big "rat trap". To go there, at least, is foolish - you will be covered with a copper basin. But what is clear to Russian lieutenants, Ukrainian generals do not care.
I would like to emphasize that, to all appearances, this is not even a political necessity, but exactly the worst kind of cretinism in its extreme stage.
Judge for yourself - political necessity in the interests of the West dictates that the Ukrainians die slowly and in a dosed manner in order to hold out until the election of bloodsucking grandfather Biden, and then they can even hang themselves demonstratively with the entire AFU - the Americans won't give a damn. And the most reasonable thing to do under these conditions would be to withdraw behind the Oskol and defend ourselves severely. They had no need to hold the right bank. But the Ukrps are not such people as to give up any of their galushka without a fight - after all, this is what they sell to the West. The Ukrainians never retreat and never give up any settlement without a fight. Their whole strategy is based on this - they turn every settlement into a fortress. This is their favorite trick, which they sell to the West - look how stupid and stubborn we are, not a step back. We have no retreat as a maneuver. We don't care how many soldiers and civilians die, the main thing is that we will inflict at least some losses on the Russians and at the same time turn the cities into ruins so that they don't get them - let them, ha-ha, rebuild.
And we as bahmutil, so we will bahmutil (yes, my dears, after the epic bummer in Artemovsk there appeared such a term - means, who did not understand, to drown in shit seventy thousand of their best fighters and then on their graves incendiary dance gopak, magically turning this horror into an informational victory).
But dumb and stupid people simply physically cannot calculate at least one or two moves ahead.
And it is quite an impossible task for them not only to foresee other options for the development of events, but also to come up with a plan B for each of the options (this is quantum math, only quants and Russians can do it).
Ukrainians do not realize that time after time, demonstrating their trademark stubbornness, they become very predictable. We don't know how to attack, so we just bump our foreheads against the wall, and the result is that the Russians bent, retreated a kilometer. How great it is, we defeated the Russians by a kilometer, what a wonderful informational victory it is.
But they don't care about that, because they are stupid, so the Uks dance the gopak and keep on going. And until today, the main symbol of the stupidity of the Uriks have been the fire sacks under Rabotino, Staromayorskoye, and Kleshcheevka, which they chewed out for themselves and, most importantly, sat there month after month under the astonished gaze of the whole world.
But at the Oskol bridgehead, the Ukrps have outdone themselves - as it turns out, Ukropean stupidity is as limitless as the universe. At least for now we do not see any limits.

Nevertheless, the main event of the week lies not in this movement of our troops.
The main event of the week is not this movement of our troops, but a magnificent strategic decision, thanks to which our planners have once again circled the Ukrainian armed forces around their finger.
In order to stop the advance of our troops on this section of the front, which, let me remind you, is more than 100 kilometers long, the Ukrainians consistently drove here about 80,000 reinforcements - in fact, everything they had.
This migration began, if you remember, more than a month ago, when ours suddenly began to move forward at the same time under Sinkovka on the northern flank and, having forced the Zherebets River, created the Karamzinovsky bridgehead. Then successively occupied the important station Kislovka, village Novoselovskoe, Krahmalnoe, came to the outskirts of Yampolovka and consolidated on the outskirts of Torskoye.
During the whole of August and September, the Ukrs tried desperately to stop this "Russian onslaught". And now, finally, Syrskyy (the Ukropsy "brakes" were commanded by this very figure) reported that he had managed to stop another attack. Or rather, in reality "almost stopped", while virtually he announced this a month ago.
But as we can see, his statement reached the front only after more than a month. And that's good, usually they don't reach the front at all - Syrsky has long since become a champion in virtual victories and at the same time the main loser of the AFU, nicknamed "Bloody" by the "Ukrops" themselves because of the monstrous losses that accompany all his military adventures.

'The Source Of Russian Brutality' As Proven By Fiction
'The #Source Of #Russian #Brutality ' As #Proven By #Fiction #Russia #Ukraine #NATO #US
[...]
"*Russia's reason for the war is the threatened entering of its neighbor country Ukraine into an aggressive NATO. The Secretary General of NATO recently said so. That may(!) be "inadequate" to justify a war. But what about a war over fake WMD claims in a country on the other side of the planet? Has any U.S. reason for waging wars ever been "adequate"?On top of that, in its prosecution of an illegitimate war, Russia continues to practice war crimes—systematically and deliberately attacking noncombatants, including medical personnel and facilities. We may continue to debate whether allowing Russia to reclaim the USSR’s sphere of influence is acceptable as a tradeoff to prevent a global conflict. Still, there can be no question that Russia’s continual rape, torture, and murder of noncombatants is illegal and damages Russia’s reputation on the world stage.
The question, then, is, what explains Russia’s behavior?
Those are strong claims. Strong #claims require #strong #evidence. But the link under "continual rape, torture, and murder" does not go to any evidence. The link instead goes to an overview of the Geneva Convention. In fact - the whole piece does not contain ANY evidence of 'Russian brutality'. #ZERO ! NONE!"

On issues of periodization of the history of the USSR
In October 1917 in Russia, when not a single industrial enterprise, not a single locomotive had yet been destroyed (the Bolsheviks had not planned this at all), Russian society, the first in the world, got rid of the parasites who used their enterprises for the purposes of waging invasive, destructive wars. The liberation of Russian society from the selfishness and uneducated entrepreneurs, from the power of banking monopolies, already at the end of the 20's, provided not only a complete restoration of industry, not only the highest in the history of mankind rates of development of productive forces, but also the pace of scientific, technical and cultural progress. Already in the 20-ies Zhukovsky, Timiryazev, Pavlov, Michurin, Tsiolkovsky, Kapitsa, Kurchatov, Tupolev, Polikarpov, Degtyaryov, Paton, Lebedev, Meyerhold, Eisenstein, Pyatnitsky, for the first time in history, received all the necessary conditions and means for their scientific, design work and artistic creativity.
In August 1991 in the USSR, too, not a single enterprise had been destroyed yet, but the CPSU, Soviets and Gosplan of the USSR had maliciously abstained from managing all the productive forces of society, voluntarily giving banks and enterprises into private hands, including foreign ones. I.e. huge production capacities of the superpower stopped for 10 years not because the communists violated the laws of "copromatism" or thermodynamics, but because the majority of the "party billet-bearers" of the CPSU, professed not diamatic, but some kind of "economic thinking", which made the party members and technical intelligentsia unemployed, homeless, criminals, egoists, liberals, nationalists, clerics and, in the near future, millions of ruined "shuttle traders", deceived tourists, shareholders, shareholders and depositors.
Some comrades still explain the collapse of the CPSU and the USSR only by the betrayal of the top, but do not try to explain neither to themselves nor to others, why in August 1941 in the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks (b), in the army and in industry there were only a few traitors, and half a century later, in August 1991, the Central Committee of the CPSU, the directorial and ministerial corps, the Soviet generals, almost in their entirety, refused to do anything in defense of socialism, and painted themselves as democrats, liberals, nationalists and clerics?
In Stalin's time, the entire ministerial and directorial corps knew that it was very seriously responsible, first of all, for the quality and quantity of products manufactured in accordance with the proportions of the strategic plan of the whole country, and cost, indicators played only a modest accounting role. Only with the revival of capitalism on the territory of the USSR was the stupid phrase revived: "all the necessary material means are available, but it cannot build, there is no... financing", as if factories and bridges were being built out of bills.
Since Andropov's time, in the USSR, the so-called economic, i.e. egoistic criteria have prevailed over scientifically grounded real proportions of social production. The ministries and administrations of enterprises, having switched to full self-sufficiency, objectively and practically turned into capitalists working for personal monetary profit. The practice of harnessing the financial "cart" ahead of the "horse" of a concrete plan for the development of productive forces reigns in the Russian Federation to this day. Having no concrete plans, but only the general national wishes of the president to improve some things, to mend gaping failures, the government in 2020 is forced to state that billions of rubles have been plundered, and 148 billion rubles have not been spent.
But this situation did not arise under Yeltsin. The practice of Andropov's time had already shown that both the General Secretary himself and the members of the CPSU Central Committee had no concrete scientific idea of what should be done to continue building communism. They began to treat the imperfections of socialism... with capitalism.
Therefore, concerning the question of periodization of the history of the CPSU and the USSR, we should speak about two stages. The first stage, under the leadership of Lenin and Stalin, under whom the political and theoretical superstructure was organized, and filled with such content (due to the genius and education of the leaders, the growing education of specialists and consciousness of the masses, the uncompromising struggle against anti-communist views), which ensured the dynamic ascent of the Soviet base and the whole society, moving further and further away from the system that collapsed as a result of the First World War, to the country that, in fact, defeated both the USA and Bree in the Second World War. Before 1953, the basis of the first phase of communism had successfully taken root in many countries liberated from fascism.
But now few people dispute that after 1953 there came a second stage, when the basis in the USSR, especially in large industry and state farms, outwardly, until 1983, still remained within the limits of the USSR Constitution, but at the head of the CPSU and in the superstructural institutions, i.e., in the USSR Academy of Sciences, in the Lenin VPA, in the "Znaniye" society, in the "Communist" magazine, there were fewer and fewer people with knowledge of dialectical-materialist methodology. In the USSR Academy of Sciences, in the Lenin Military Academy, in the "Znanie" society, in the "Communist" magazine, there were fewer and fewer people who possessed dialectical-materialist methodology, and therefore everything communist in the country went to zero after Andropov introduced the self-financing reform.
I.e., if the USSR and the CPSU retained the communist names of the elements of the superstructure and, nominally, party superstructure institutions, but there were practically no connoisseurs of Marxist methodology in the country and in the party, which brings scientific content and communist tendencies to the development of production relations, then the construction of communism is out of the question. If the complete collections of the works of the classics of Marxism, if they are quietly covered with dust on the shelves in party committees and regional committees, but are not properly studied by the members of the Communist Party, if this knowledge is not clarified in connection with new objective circumstances, then all this literary heritage of the victorious classics remains a "thing in itself" that has no positive influence in real time on society, which is once again sliding into the era of mass bourgeois, and therefore liberal, Nazi and clerical ideology.
In view of the defeats suffered by the CPSU at the second stage of its history, it is necessary, as diamatics prescribes, to once again logically "dance from the stove" of simply contemplating the facts of the decay of social formations observed in world history, to the theoretical generalization of conclusions from these facts, to the search for regularities of all such collapses, and from them to the formulation of a conclusion about the presence or absence of a single cause and antidote to such phenomena in the history of mankind.
of mankind.

A Soviet soldier in the lair of the fascist beast
Our greatest holiday, Victory Day, is approaching. And once again the liberal-fascist international will try to belittle the feat of our fathers and grandfathers, who defended our country and peace on earth, belittle it in order to cast doubt on it. And once again the myth of two million raped Germans or bloody atrocities against white and fluffy Germans will be disseminated.
This is how, literally with one stroke of a journalist's pen, the Germans were transformed from aggressors into "sufferers", and the Red Army, on the contrary, from liberators into occupiers and rapists. Mass rapes, as if committed by the Red Army in Germany at the end of the war, is one of the most widespread anti-Russian myths in the West. It began to be used almost immediately after the end of the war to discredit former allies and ideologically justify the coming Cold War. Practically all the data on the total rape of Germany by Russian barbarians "historians" (including Anthony Beevor) take, as a rule, from the book by Austin J. App "Ravishing the Women of Conquered Europe" (Ravishing the Women of Conquered Europe) published in April 1946. True, the figures of German women raped by Soviet troops there are clearly taken from the ceiling. Thus he writes: "No one knows exactly how many women were raped, but according to doctors' estimates, in Berlin alone there are at least 100,000 women between the ages of 10 and 70." And literally on the next page, describing the atrocities of our soldiers in Austria, he continues, "In Vienna alone, they (Soviet soldiers) raped 100,000 women, not just once, but many times, including girls under the age of 10, and old women." That is, according to him, Soviet soldiers raped an average of 100,000 women in each major city. At the same time, these figures are not supported by any documentary evidence. I will not claim that there was nothing like this, but that it was not on such a scale is certain. Here, for example, what Osmar White, an Australian war correspondent, wrote in 1945: "In the Red Army, severe discipline prevails. There is no more robbery, rape and abuse here than in any other zone of occupation. Wild stories of atrocities are brought out by exaggerations and distortions of individual cases under the influence of nervousness caused by the immoderate manners of the Russian soldiers and their love of vodka. One woman who told me most of the hair-raising tales of Russian atrocities was finally forced to admit that the only evidence she had seen with her own eyes was drunken Russian officers firing pistols into the air or at bottles...."
Since then, the number of raped German, Romanian, Hungarian, Czech, etc. women has been inexorably increasing every year. Soon it will turn out that all white Europe is the fruit of forced love of Russian barbarians. And what was it really like?
In the magazine Spiegel for 1975 in the 20th issue of DER SPIEGEL 20/1975 vom 12.05.1975, Seite 70 it was told about then new documents found by one of the editors of Spiegel in the archives of the S.S.A., concerning orders from the Soviet military headquarters, court verdicts, diaries /statements of the Red Army. The article mentions:
Malinovsky ( in connection with certain disturbances during the offensive on Romania in the fall of 1944), who took decisive measures. A number of punishments and sentences by military courts followed. Contacts with the civilian population were restricted and soldiers were required, under threat of punishment, to "preserve military dignity and decorum in their outward behavior", "do not allow yourself anything that is contrary to your honor".
On entering Hungary there were again breaches of discipline. Then came a warning from the military council of the 3rd Ukrainian Front: "Do not harm the civilian population. Do not allow yourself anything that disrespects your honor and blackens your glorious name. Wherever you are, always behave in such a way that your behavior arouses respect before the Red Army and our Country. Everyone must see that the Red Army is the strongest and its soldiers are the bravest, most courageous and at the same time the most civilized and disciplined."
This decree, however, was violated. Then the NKVD introduced special units, which dealt harshly with the guilty; as soon as they (NKVD) started their activities, no stealing and no looting - their harsh punishments acted intimidatingly. Soviet officers shot rapists - now citing a decree. Every Red Army man, officer or soldier, could kill a fighting comrade if he violated Stalin's orders.
At the same time, the propagandists' posters called for vengeance against the Nazi bloody murderers. Soon, however, the military commanders concluded that these emotional appeals undermined discipline. The 2nd Belorussian Front forbade in one order any looting in East Prussia; other orders presumed harsh punishments for rape and deliberate destruction of German property.
On January 29, by order of Marshal Zhukov, an order was read to all battalions of the 1st Belorussian Front that forbade Red Army soldiers to "harass the German population, loot apartments and burn houses." At the same time, Stalin's advance order was also to be read:
"Officers and Red Army men! We are going into the enemy's country. Everyone must keep his composure, everyone must be brave...The remaining population in the conquered areas, whether German, Czech or Polish, must not be subjected to violence. The guilty will be punished according to wartime laws. Sexual intercourse with the female sex is not allowed in the conquered territory. For violence and rape the guilty will be shot. "

Ukraine Commits Last Remaining Elite Brigade For Final Attempt
Yesterday, both sides used all the resources - today there is a replenishment. Involuntarily, there was a brief respite. Sympathy does not come to visit on the battlefield, but seeing how much damage the enemy is taking in Harvest, we experienced feelings that are difficult to describe. We lacked infantry and equipment, but we had enough means of destruction to grind up a significant part of what the enemy threw at the capture of the village. Harvest resembled a meat grinder, which included living people, and minced meat came out. The number of destroyed and damaged equipment was not calculated in units. A very specific residue remained: We lost Urozhayne, and at the same time caused such damage that part of our consciousness refuses to understand the motives of the Ukrainian command. So only those who hate them more than ours can drive their own to slaughter.
