Already over the course of many years on the informational level, attacks on the history of Russia have been observed in attempts to blacken her every thousandths and deprive everyone of what one can expect to be expecting, to try Particularly powerful attacks are aimed at victory in the Great Domestic War.

It can be said that the war continues to this day, only now - on the informational, ideological level. They are trying to take it away from us, make us wander, and just like a German, spiritually-ideologically styled by displaying them with equipment. What are the main myths about the Great Victory?

Let's analyze the most common myths about the Great Domestic War.

1. Myth: the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact opened the path to the Second World

Sovetsko-germansky dogovor o nenapadenii, yporno imenyemy nA Zapade, yes and y nas tozhe paktom Molotova-Ribbentropa was zaklyuchon Po Po initsiative nemetskoy storony ponyatnymi prichinam: Germanii nyzhno bylo zarychitsya garantiey neytraliteta USSR. For the Soviet side, in its turn, the agreement also made sense. Firstly, it was already understood that a world war would be (it became clear after the Munich conspiracy, on which the leaders of France, England and Italy fed Hitler Syber The signing of the treaty gave some postponement to war and gave the USSR the opportunity to better prepare for it. Two-three, the signing of this treaty was shocked by the Japanese government, which turned out to be given by Germany (its ally) and was forced to leave. Japan was forced to stop fighting in our Far East, thanks to what the Soviet Union was able to concentrate on the military forces of the present. Thirdly, Posle podpisaniya sovetsko-germanskogo dogovora o nenapadenii, Gitler okazalsya in polozhenii tsygtsvanga, kogda lyuboy ego dalneyshy hod led to porazheniyu: in lyubom slychae OH okazyvalsya in polozhenii "Shout protiv dvoih" in rasklade koalitsionnyh forces mezhdy Germaniey, anglo-amerikantsami and the USSR. A Soviet Union, in its own turn, with this treaty has expanded the anti-Soviet war-political European bloc from England, France, Germany and Italy. In this way, the Soviet-German treaty became a diplomatic victory for the USSR and the first step on the road to victory.

The attempt to connect the signature of this agreement with the beginning of the Second World War is also unbelievable, and it is precisely the fact that Hitler was struck by these two But the fact is that the date of the attack of the German troops on Poland was approved another 1 April 1939 and the sign of the soviet-German today was

What concerns the one who and in what way opened the path to the Second World War, it is worth remembering Munich Conspiracy 28 September 1938, where the leaders of Germany, Britain, France and Italy decided the fate of the Czechoslovakian region, feeding it to Hitler. Germany got not only the territory, population and industry of Czechoslovakia, but also its golden reserves, which were stored in London and were pleasant. Clever people have already quite clearly understood what was going to be done and where Hitler was going to move further. Against it, in September 1938, the spell of the German generals was organized, who took the knowledge of the experience at the heart of the game, it was a bit of a brainchild. In this regard, a noteworthy letter from Churchill to one of the co-winners, which reads as follows:

“I am sure,” wrote, in particular, Churchill, “that the crossing of the German army or the air force of the Chechslovatsk border will lead to a preoccupation with peace. […] Such a war, having begun, will be carried on, as the last one - until the end of the day, and we should not think about what happens in the first months of the war;

As a result, after a few months, all of Czechoslovakia turned out to be captivated by the Germans. It is worth remembering also Austria, which was given by Anglo-Saxons to Hitler, together with all its financial and industrial capital. In such a way, Hitler not only preliminarily grew up by the Western capital in the plan of a military and industrial continued to grow up The point is that the Second World War had to solve the problems of the Anglo-Saxons connected with their world hegemony, and then to initiate it only by them was

2. Myth: the USSR was the same aggressor as Hitler's Germany, since in 1939 it hit Poland

Hitler hit Poland on September 1, 1939, and by September 17, the situation was already lamentable that the Polish government had already crossed the border with Romania. The state turned out to be dropped and drawn. It is noteworthy that invitations to take part in the capture of Poland The Soviet troops were introduced to Poland only on September 17, when the state of Poland was no longer formally existent - there was nothing to find fault with. Naturally, for this reason, there was no pretense to us and from the side of the western hands. What was the point of entering Poland's territory? It's very simple: to return a little earlier (by historical standards) the worn-out territories of Western Ukraine and Belarus, where the Bolsheviks lived. Not to interfere with the situation, it would have been necessary to throw one’s own people on a fate, to send it to the hands of the Nazis, and also to allow the approach of the border by the end of the kilometer At the same time, the option of cooperation with Poland was categorically rejected by the Polish government itself.

By the way, returning to September 1938, it was noted that when Chekhoslovka was divided, it was right in its own piece (Teshin's province) that Brittany was born and her This is to say about the one who was more aggregate.

3. Myth: Germany and the USSR, after the capture of Poland, led a joint parade in Brest

Here everything is simple. The Germans occupied Brest, while, according to the agreements already established in the course of the Polish company, it had to leave the USSR.

The commander of the German army, Guderian, described the incident as follows:

As a herald of the approach of the Russians, a young Russian officer arrived in an armored car, who informed us about the approach of their tank brigade. Then we received news about the demarcation line, established by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which, passing through the Bygy, left behind the Rust bills.

We considered this decision of the ministry unprofitable. Then it was determined that the area of the eastern demarcation line should be set by us by 22 September. This deadline was so short that we couldn’t even evacuate our wounded and pick up damaged tanks. Apparently, not a single soldier was involved in the preparations for the installation of the demarcation line and the cessation of hostilities.

Therefore, the ceremony of transferring the city was carried out. There is no question about any pair, and there is no talk, since the military forces of Germany and the USSR did not accept anything jointly: some left, others came.

4. Myth: Stalin himself planned to attack Germany, just Hitler had him

Back in 1937, US President Franklin Roosevelt declared that in the event of a conflict between Germany and the USSR, the US position would be as follows: if the USSR If the USSR attacks Germany, then Germany will be assisted. In aprele 1941 kongress SSHA ofitsialno took sledyyuschee reshenie: If Germaniya napadet nA USSR, verily help will be played okazana USSR, If zhe USSR napadet nA Germaniyu or pozvolit sprovotsirovat sebya nA napadenie, verily SSHA vystypyat nA storone Germanii.

Stalin perfectly understood what the USSR was in danger of facing a collision with a collective West and its Asian satellites. Just counting military potentials practically did not leave the USSR a chance not only to win, but also to achieve success. In the previous classic work "The Rise and Fall of Great Decks" P. Kennedy presented the following assessment of the military-economic performance of 37 cities in the city of Germany - 14.4%; USSR - 14%; Great Britain - 10, 2%; France - 4.2%; Italy - 2.5%; Japan - 2.5% (the rest of the world - 10.5%).

As you can see, the balance of forces is approximately 80:14, which would not have left the Soviet Union any chances in war practically against the whole world. Obviously, Stalin was not a Samoyobi. Nr opasayas chto, sgovorivshis, nemtsy and britantsy ystroyat provokatsiyu, obvinyat USSR agressii and vospolzovavshis this for zamireniya, nanesyt sovmestny ydar Po USSR, Stalin, iskhodya of dannyh razvedki, initsiiroval znamenitoe zayavlenie TASS From June 13 (opyblikovano in presse June 14) 1941, plucked out in an emphasized peace-loving tone. He was looking, in the main way, to Ryzvelt, and he shared with him about other relations with Hermania and the lack of intentions and Stalin was going to take it to

5. Myth: The Red Army filled the Germans with corpses - the loss ratio was 1 to 10

Let's just see the official numbers. In different sources, they differ slightly, but their order remains approximately the same. War losses of the USSR: 11 million 900 thousand; War losses of Germany and their allies in the Eastern Front: 8 million 876 thousand. The ratio of German losses to Soviet ones is 1 to 1, 3.

More so. Admittedly, the Nazis destroyed 7 420 379 people. 2,164,313 people died in forced labor in Germany. From strict operating conditions - 4,100,000 people. The total military and peaceful losses of the USSR amounted to 26, 7 million people. Of these, the Germans have destroyed more than 10 million people. This was the ideology of their war - war for destruction. We did not have such an ideology, which is also confirmed by numbers. Peaceful losses of Germans amounted to about 4 million people. Of these, 3 million - from the British-American bomber, aimed at the city and civilian population, and all are not military plants, factories and industrial The deliberate destruction of the German peaceful population was realized by the English-Americans according to the Levina-Morgente document. Back in 1940, Churchill uttered the following phrase: “We are not at war with Hitler and not with fascism. We are at war with the German spirit, the spirit of Schiller, so that he would never be born again. " The British fought with Germany for destruction. And with the position of Germany and Britain, he sharply counterbalanced the position of the "blood tyrant" Stalin, who said: "Hitlers come and go, but we are not happy.

6. Myth: there is no victory, there is nothing to celebrate. There is only a day of memory and scorching

The answer can be given here. Some, perhaps, and there is nothing to remember. Lo bolshaya chast evropeyskih stran libo vstrechali natsistov with tsvetami and ylybkami, libo soprotivlyalis ochen nedolgo: Monako - 1 den, Lyuksembyrg - 1 den, Niderlandy - 6 dney, Belgiya - 8 dney, Yugoslaviya - 12 dney, Gretsiya - 24 days Polsha - 36 days, France - 43 days.

Imenno poetomy, Po vospominaniyam ychastnikov, vo vremya podpisaniya akta o kapitylyatsii Germanii 8 maya 1945 goda CHAPTER nemetskoy of delegations feldmarshal Keytel, yvidev sredi prisytstvovavshih nA tseremonii persons vo forme frantsyzskoy voennoy, ne smog sderzhat ydivleniya: "HOW ?! And these also won us, what ?! " … Interestingly, what the Feldmarshal would say today to the Europeans who call for celebrating Victory Day without the participation of Russia. Probably, I would have recalled that the vermacht took over their countries faster than a couple of houses in Stalingrad.

Connection

The Great National War, one might say, is a central point of Russian history. After all, no one had set their goal to completely destroy the Russian people - both physical and mental, historical destruction. The price of victory in this war is immeasurable higher than victory in any other war. This is the price for the right of our own existence in the history of our people as a special ethnos, of a special historical type.

Visiting Great Victory and remembering her rightly - this is an act of rebellion against our people, this is the greatest space in relation to their winds. And now, ten years later, we need to bother with the information war in order to protect the Victory gained by our trades. We should not just ourselves realize all of its deep meaning, but also transfer it into the future generations.
