In 1941, the Nazi ideologist Alfred Rosenberg outlined a plan to dismember the USSR-Russia to Hitler. The essence of Rosenberg's plan was to divide Russia forever, so that the Russian world and the Russian people would lose their unity.

Rosenberg's plan

In January 1941, Alfred Ernst Rosenberg, one of the most influential members and ideologue of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), head of the Foreign Policy Department of the NSDAP, presented to Hitler several reports in which he described the plan for the "restructuring" of the Soviet Union after the victory of the Third Reich. Ukraine, Belarus, Don and the Caucasus became "independent", they cut off part of the territory of Great Russia, the rest of Russia became a reservation, a place for deportation.

Interestingly, Rosenberg himself was a "Russian German." He was born in Revel-Tallinn in 1862 (then the Baltic States were part of the Russian Empire) into a family with German and French roots. He studied at the Revelsky real school, the Riga Polytechnic Institute, in 1918 he graduated from the Moscow Higher Technical School, received a diploma of an engineer-architect. Tried to join the German volunteer corps in the Baltic States, but Rosenberg was not taken as a "Russian".

He moved to Germany, where he became a member of the esoteric "Thule Society", became friends with Adolf Hitler and in 1920 became a member of the NSDAP. He became one of the main ideologues of the Nazis, the chief editor of their central printed organ - "Völkischer Beobachter" (German: Völkischer Beobachter, "People's Observer"). Rosenberg had a serious influence on the formation of Hitler's views, his ideas were included in the book "My Struggle". In 1930, Alfred Rosenberg published his work "Myth of the XX century", which became one of the main works of the Nazis.

After the Nazis and Hitler came to power, Rosenberg became one of the leaders of the Reich. Since 1933, he headed the Foreign Policy Department of the NSDAP, since 1934 he has been authorized by the Fuhrer to control the general spiritual and ideological education of the NSDAP. Since 1940 - Head of the Central Research Institute for National Socialist Ideology and Education. Rosenberg established the so-called Reichsleiter Rosenberg's Headquarters, which was formally supposed to be engaged in the creation of a research library, but during the war it became a marauder organization that seized cultural and historical values in the occupied lands. In July 1941, Rosenberg became head of the Reich Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories. The ministry included: Reichskommissariat "Ostland" (capital - Riga), which included the Baltic states and part of Belarus; "Ukraine" (Rovno) - part of Ukraine and Belarus, it was planned to form Reichskommissariats "Caucasus", "Moskovia" - the central part of Russia to the Urals, "Volga-Don" and "Turkestan".

In fact, huge occupied territories of the USSR were transferred under the control of Rosenberg. True, Rosenberg himself and his ministry did not enjoy much influence. Rosenberg was ousted from the imperious Olympus of the Reich by more active and business-like "predators". So, J. Goebbels took away the sphere of propaganda. The head of the NSDAP Party Chancellery, personal secretary of the Fuhrer Martin Bormann and Reichskommissar of Ukraine Erich Koch gradually pushed Rosenberg away from the Fuhrer, deprived of real power.

"Perestroika" of Russia

The Baltic states were planned to be completely Germanized within two generations. Part of the Baltic population was going to be deported to Belarus and Great Russia. Much attention was paid to Ukraine - Little Russia. The Germans understood that there would be no Great Russia without Ukraine, South-Western Russia, tens of millions of Russian-Ukrainians. In fact, here the plans of the Nazis were a continuation of the plans of the ruling elite of the Commonwealth, Austria and the Second Reich. Our enemies wanted to split, divide the single Russian people, set parts of it against each other. Take control of the western part of the Russians - Ukrainians-Little Russians and use them in the fight against the rest of the Russian people.

Rosenberg proposed to create an "independent" Ukrainian state, which would be in close, indissoluble alliance with the German Empire. Hitler immediately made an amendment - he agreed only to a protectorate. To create Ukrainian statehood, according to Rosenberg, the cultivation of the Ukrainian language, such a development of the education system, is required to change the consciousness of the people. So that people focus on their own "independence" and alliance with Germany. In fact, the same thing has been done since 1991 - focusing on the "development" of the Ukrainian language and history, reforming the education system, cultivating the idea of independence and an alliance with the EU, the United States and NATO.

The future of Ukraine is the granary of Europe (the European Reich). Ukraine should be the supplier of bread to the Great Reich. And here we see how the post-Soviet leadership of Ukraine fully implements the ideas of the Reich ideologists. Ukraine is a colony of the European Union, a market for European goods, a source of raw materials, primarily agricultural, forests. High-tech industries (space, rocketry, shipbuilding, mechanical engineering, aircraft construction, etc.) inherited from the USSR are dying. The people are rapidly degrading spiritually, culturally, intellectually and physically, and are rapidly dying out. Ukrainians-Russians were pitted against Russian-Great Russians.

Crimea, as a fertile land, which in the past was inhabited by the Germans-Goths, was to become part of the Reich. Become a health resort in Germany. In particular, Hitler approved the renaming of Simferopol to Gothenburg, and Sevastopol to Theodorichshafen. They planned to annex part of the Kursk and Voronezh regions to Ukraine.

The Caucasus was of interest to the Nazis primarily as a source of oil. The Georgians were considered the most culturally developed people of the Caucasus, the strongest associated with European culture, so they were supposed to become representatives of the civil and military power of the Reich in the region. The Caucasus, like Ukraine, was also supposed to become an anti-Russian land.

To weaken the central part of Russia - Great Russia, the core of the Russian state, it is necessary to separate the Don and the Volga region. Rosenberg noted that here the national identity of the population is not as pronounced as in the Ukraine and the Caucasus. Therefore, the management of this territory should be carried out by more brutal methods. It is possible that she will stake on the Volga Germans, or they need to be resettled to Ukraine to strengthen its colonization.

Belarus was considered a backward territory, both economically and culturally. A large percentage of the Jewish population was also noted (the Jews of the USSR were exterminated by the Nazis without exception). The creation of an independent state and nation was seen as an extremely lengthy and complex undertaking. It was proposed to make Smolensk the capital of the region. Annex part of the Smolensk and Tver regions in Belarus.

Great Russia, the central region, had the greatest potential, on the basis of which the Russian Empire and the Soviet empire were created. Therefore, it was proposed to weaken Great Russia as much as possible. The weakening of the central part of Russia was carried out by several methods: 1) complete destruction of the communist statehood, without the creation of a new state apparatus in the future; 2) large-scale economic exploitation, in fact, plunder: confiscation of all resources, wealth, machinery, transport, river fleet, etc. In fact, Russia was deprived of its industrial and economic potential, its transport communications and connectivity were destroyed; 3) Great Russia was "cut off" in favor of other Reichskommissariat - Ukraine, Belarus, Don. Thus, part of the resources and population were deprived. Also Great Russia-Muscovy was viewed as a zone for the deportation of the entire undesirable population from other regions. Taking into account the deprivation of Muscovy of its economic potential, developed agricultural regions (Don - Volga region, North Caucasus, Ukraine), Great Russians and deported Belarusians, Little Russians, etc., were doomed to mass starvation and rapid extinction.

Divide, play and conquer

The essence of Rosenberg's plan was to divide Russia forever. So that the Russian world and the Russian people lose their unity. Russia cannot be simply captured, it is necessary to separate and destroy its civilizational, state-forming and cultural core - the Russian super-ethnos, which unites other indigenous ethnic groups of Russia-Russia around its culture, history and language.

To destroy the Russian civilization, it is necessary to dismember it into many weak national autonomies, which will be under the protectorate of the Third Reich. Skillfully play them against each other, so that in constant squabbles and quarrels they could never become a threat to Germany. The main stake was placed on separatists and local nationalists.

First of all, the Hitlerites sought to pit the Russians against the Russians, destroying the source of strength of the Russian people. So, from the southwestern part of the super-ethnic group of Russians-Russians - Ukrainians-Little Russians, they planned to make a "ram" aimed at the Russians-Great Russians. It turned out to be a kind of "ethnic chimera" - people of Russian origin who fiercely hated everything Russian: the Russian language, culture, history, traditions and faith. Ukraine became the "policeman" of the Reich in maintaining control over the rest of Russia. At the same time, the Russians-Ukrainians themselves were a “one-time tool”. They initially turned into powerless and uneducated slaves, were doomed to extinction from disease, hunger and alcohol.

The rest of Russia was also planned to be divided into many "independent" state formations. To transform a single Russian people into a mass of small nations. Return Russians to the distant past. When the inhabitants of Novgorod, Pskov, Tver, Moscow and Ryazan lived on their own and regularly fought with each other. It was possible to go further, to the unions of Slavic-Russian tribes - Novgorod Slovens, Vyatichi of Moscow and Ryazan, Krivichi of Polotsk and Smolensk, etc. According to Rosenberg, small Russian sub-ethnic groups were not dangerous, and their energy was completely absorbed by the struggle with each other.

Thus, the Nazi ideologists were going to dismember Russia and the Russian people into many small state formations and sub-ethnic groups, completely dependent on the Reich. They were pitted against each other. For example, Ukraine and the rest of Russia. Russian strength and energy were destroyed in internal wars. That is, Russia-Russia was returned hundreds of years ago, during the period of feudal fragmentation. The people were doomed to constant cultural and economic degradation and extinction. The Germans as the "superior race" were able to easily colonize the western parts of Russia. In particular, the Baltic States, Belarus and the Crimea were subject to Germanization and were supposed to become part of the "Eternal Reich" in the future. The local population was partly destroyed, partly evicted, partly subjected to Germanization and assimilation. Some were left as dumb, disenfranchised and deprived of education and medicine slaves.

After the defeat of the Reich, these plans were not forgotten. They were inherited by the United States and NATO. In fact, when Gorbachev and his team smashed the USSR-Russia, they implemented the plans of the Nazi elite and ruled the West in relation to the Russian world and the Russian people. United Russia was dismembered, its historical parts were torn away, including the ancient capital of the Russian state - Kiev. The Russian people have become the largest divided ethnic groups on the planet. Russians were divided, they began to turn into separate sub-ethnic groups, playing off with each other.
