... Not so long ago, a bunch of Ukrainian nationalists from the «OUN Volunteer Movement» (organization prohibited in the RF) threatened to turn the action «Immortal Regiment» in Kiev into the «Mortal Regiment». That is, to do with the march participants what, in the years of the Great Patriotic war, the German fascists and their lackeys did with soldiers whose photos will be carried by people on the Victory Day.
It would seem that the new Banderites care about those who have not already been alive for several decades? Why did Estonian ethnocrats take revenge on the «Bronze Soldier», those athnocrats who stealthily removed the monument to the soldier -liberator of the Red Army from the city center and still consider this their victory? What forces agents of the Latvian security police to attack any passer-by who appears in the street with a St. George ribbon? People who were killed by the enemy lead decades ago, monuments of bygone days, symbols of the army whose banners are kept only in museums ... What do the modern fans of Bandera and Shukhevych care?
The frenzied rage of these descendants of collaborators is caused by the awareness that our heroes are in the same ranks with us, they set the bar of the present generation’s loyalty to the ideals of the Great Victory. That's why some Kochanivsky from the «OUN Voluntary Movement» called, ‘We will not let the red hydra seep into Kiev!’. There is one thing of which Bandera remnants are not mistaken: our heroes embody for us not yesterday's but today's day, they are our right flank.
‘It's not true, a friend does not die, he just stops standing at your side …’. Following Konstantin Simonov, each of us can say this about his great-grandfather, grandfather, father, who did not return from the front or died years after the war of old wound, concussion, or illnesses. While they are in our memory, they are alive and will always be alive. It is ensured by the «Immortal Regiment», formed for the first time 8 years ago and now marching in fifty countries on all continents, except perhaps Antarctica.
The chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Bastrykin, reacted precisely to the threats to the «Immortal Regiment» that sounded in Kiev, ‘The strength and power of the victorious people are such that the enemies fear even the fallen warriors’.
The hands are short of those who threaten the «Immortal Regiment». All the post-war decades, explicit and hidden Nazis are waiting for their hour to come again, they are waiting ... We just need to «help» that generation go, the generation that returned the aggression to its den in Berlin in the 1945, and put the warmongers in the dock ... We just need to pull down, wherever possible, the monuments of the Red Army, which rose after 1944 throughout Europe, from Vienna to Kharkov and from Kirkenes to Trieste, and dispel the memory of those lying under those monuments ... We just need to spiritually corrupt the youth, having depicted black as white in the past, and white as black ...
However, those remnants are not able to do it, it does not work out. Children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren stand up for the departed. Their fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers crushed the fascist scum, and they, the descendants of the Great Patriotic War soldiers, have saved the Crimea from the clutches of the same scum and are now defending Donbass from it. They cede a dubious honor to say, ‘It has not died yet …' to Hitler's adherents, and they repeat for the edification of the builders of the new Reichs and neo-Nazi reserves, ‘You and I have passed half the world and, if necessary, will do it again’. They do not threaten, they warn.
Those to whom the Great Victory in May 1945 is like a bone in the throat, resort to all imaginable tricks. If they can not destroy the memory of it, they try to change its form, turn its meaning inside out. The Institute of National Memory of Ukraine proposes to cancel the day off on May 9 and declare May 8 the state holiday, and celebrate the Day of Remembrance and Reconciliation as a sign of solidarity with European countries.
Moldovan parliamentarians are catching up with Kiev governors. The ruling coalition of pro-European parties has established the Day of Europe on May 9, combining it with the Day of Victory. In response to the words of President Igor Dodon about the decision not to approve these changes in the legislation, the speaker Andrian Candu said that the parliamentary majority would still force the head of state to do it.
The little dog is hurrying after a big dog. In 2008, on the initiative of Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Hungary, the European Parliament proposed to celebrate the anniversary of the signing of the non-aggression treaty between Germany and the USSR on August 23 as a Memorial Day for victims of ‘totalitarian regimes’ (for the first time, the EU countries celebrated this day on August 23, 2011). Well, gentlemen, each bolt has its own nut. How would you like the «counter» proposal of the heirs of the winners to proclaim, by the resolution of the UN General Assembly, the day of September 30, 1938, the date of the Munich collusion of Western democracies - Great Britain and France - with Hitler and Mussolini, as the day of the memory of the victims of fascism and collaborationism?
«Enlightened» Europe would never, of course, agree to such an offer. No wonder. The ideology of «totalitarianism» allows it to classify tens of millions of victims of the Second World War not as victims of Germany, but as those of the USSR, while honoring the victims of collaboration would have drastically damaged the reputation of many European states. Only in Poland, officially considered the first victim of Hitler in the World War II, about 500 thousands of its citizens fought in the Wehrmacht.
Only in the SS troops served 50,000 Dutch, 40,000 Belgians, 40,000 Latvians and Estonians, 15,000 Danes, Norwegians and Swedes, 10,000 French and representatives of other European countries. Taking into account those who served in the Wehrmacht, in the paramilitary formations of the Third Reich and the armies of the German allied states, the number of Nazi servants in Europe goes up to millions.
Last year, Russia opposed this barking from the euro-gateway with 24 million people who went to the streets with photographic portraits of their relatives, front-line soldiers. How many thousands of people joined the ranks of the «Immortal Regiment» all over the world from New York to Adelaide (South Australia)! Could the carpetbagger gentlemen really count on something, trying to resist such an army of people with their staunch psychology of winners, established in May 1945?
