News from the Soviet Union
This is from the newspaper "Molniya" edited by Victor Anpilov in Moscow and includes his comment about some statements and remarks made by people who class themselves as communists and communist leaders.
The article by writer Sergei Yermolayev tells us and brings to our attention facts of the growth of anti-communism, anti-Sovietism as also the growth of religious dogma on the pages of the so-called patriotic newspapers and even communist press. This is seen in the publication of the newspaper "Ekonomicheska Gazeta" by the author of many previous Soviet school textbooks, Academician Theodor Ojzerman, whose very lengthy article in this newspaper, called - "Unprincipled stand of the term "Marxism-Leninism". This article is absolutely against his previous articles and books and his dedication to socialism and Soviet state.
What does this former "Marxist" write now and for whom he writes that: "Lenin defended the demand for bourgeois democracy of the working class (!) in Western Europe and USA. Lenin never demanded the dictatorship of the proletariat and was not materialistic minded."
Following quickly after Ojzerman and Novodvorsky are those who before proclaimed: "Fight the Jews to save Russia!" They now classify Lenin’s teachings as unlawful, anti-state and anti-Russian. Even the newspaper "Pravda" the semi-official organ of the CPRF debunks the (Lenin’s theory of proletarian revolution) and from the lips of the secretary of the CC CPRF, Bandiukov, to the delight of all anti-communists of the likes of Cipko and Zinoviev, seating around the table, together with Gennady Zyuganov, stated that: "in any communist party there is no theory". Since there is no theory in a communist party the editor of the newspaper "Zavtra" Alexander Prohanov without any ceremony does away with Leninism and with all those who are dedicated to Marxism-Leninism, here in former USSR and in other countries, and he is ready to burn all communists and Lenin’s theory on the fires of inquisition. We print only a part of his statement here: "The Lenin theory is more like that of Anpilov and of Fidel Castro, and is not relevant anymore."
For such pearls of wisdom we can be certain that the CIA will reward Mr. Prohanov very well.
Molniya newspaper will not keep silent to these attacks, geared as they are towards the coming elections to the Russian Duma. We will never back down to expose these anti-communists who are hiding under "pseudo-communist" labels as to what they really are and who they really are – they are a new breed of anti-socialists, anti-Sovietists, anti-Marxist-Leninists!

Organ of the Russian Communist Workers Party-Russian Party of Communists
Already 12 years have passed since we are living under a bourgeois government. How many years passed since the birth of communist parties and movements, such as the All Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks, Russian Communist Workers Party, Russian Party of Communists (now these two parties are joined together) Union of Communists and Russian Communist Party-CPSU (before it was called Union of Communists). A half a year later there was formed the Communist Party of Russian Federation. The splits kept on going even after that.
The following splits were: ACP(b) (A. Lapin), CPLP (V. Buriugov), CTR (V. Anpilov), CPU (O. Shenin), CPSU (V.Kariskin), CPSU (S. Skvortsov) formed after 1991. You would think that after the formation of all these communist parties, the bourgeois regime would by now be on its last legs in power. But Putin’s regime is not ready yet to go to the cemetery.
But the regime just kept on reforming the economy, devastating the country and somehow managed to stabilize the political situation for now and did not allow the communist parties to take the initiative and channel the hate of millions of Soviets against the present regime in a storm that could have been able to throw out the preset hated regime into the garbage bin of history.
Hard to imagine – but it’s a fact that some of the communist parties are not very seriously dedicated to deeply analyze the defeat that has taken place. Even though the 10-year anniversary of the following parties (AUCPB, RCWP, RPC, CPRF) gave them the opportunity to mount a revolution, but because of all these splits in the unity of action, weakness in the intellectual and organizational skills, the age factor of the majority of the party members, not really enough ideological understanding and the lack of leaders capable to arouse the masses to action, things are at a standstill. But there are other reasons that maybe are even more pertinent:
* lack of principal understanding and practice in the building of a party of a revolutionary type;
* the realization of non revolutionary strategy, all others strategies are put forward, except the revolutionary theory as taught by Lenin.
We feel that most of the parties now on the scene feel that this question does not concern them, or that it is out of date. Such thoughts in the last while permeated most of the parties that are on the scene now.
That is why it is imperative that this question of tactics and also of ideological tactics should be discussed and solved on the pages of the newspapers that these parties publish. Unless this is done, the process of divide and rule shall proceed. We must return to Lenin and Marxism-Leninism in theory and practice.
COMMENT:
In another article, one of the writers wrote that the former Soviet textbooks in public, high schools and Universities dealing with Marxism-Leninism and Lenin’s writings are nowhere to be found in libraries, except at the main Lenin Library in Moscow and even there it is hard to get them. Outside of Moscow there are NO books on these subjects – the present regime fulfilled the task set by Gorbachev, Yeltsin and others and completely destroyed all the Marxist-Leninist literature all over former Soviet Union.
The young generations have been brought up on anti-Leninism, anti-Stalinism, anti-Socialism and anti Marxism-Leninism.
Therefore, unity of the genuine Marxists-Leninists is vital to defeat the present regime, and if need be, these so-called communist parties that are just opportunists, social democrats hiding as "communists" or basically helping the regime, must be fought and defeated. Lenin and Stalin never gave up their fight against the Trojan horse enemies!

Major of the Soviet Army Yuri A. Petrovsky, after three years of physical and moral degradation in isolation and hard labour in Ukraine, was finally freed. Immediately he went back to work amongst the communists comrades in Zaporozhe, in the Communist Party of Ukraine as the First Secretary. The Kuchma terrorists were not able to break his will and dedication.
His freedom is due to the protests and actions of Soviet people in Kiev, Chernigov, Zaporozhe, Krivoj Rog. Besides this, the solidarity was shown by the progressive press like the communists of the Northstar Compass in Canada (Michael Lucas); Communist Vestnik (S. Saveliev); For USSR ( L. Babienko) who immediately went to the defense of Petrovsky.
Today across the planet there are the dark clouds of new fascism. The US is taking over to conquer the world where Hitler had failed.
The Third World War was won by US Imperialism in December of 1991 when the Soviet Union was dismembered as was the Soviet Army. This was the silent cold war, ideological undermining of all that the Soviet Union stood and fought for.
The Fourth World War was the financial war that brought under US control the economies of many countries of the world and the US military are now on the territories of former Soviet Republics. A perfect example of all this is the question as to why US Army is situated in Georgia? US said and Shevernadze proclaimed that it was to fight terrorism by the Chechens and other international terrorists. But the answers are as follows:
*coordination of flights and attacks on Iraq
*the organizing and effective control of US forces on the territory of Central Caucasus of ex-USSR
*to rearm and regroup the Chechen rebels with modern weapons and to use them as a destabilizing armed force in the Caucasus.
Russia is now surrounded by military basis in the West, East, and South. Globalization is in full swing and together with Americanization of culture, customs and language, the New World Order is coming under the jackboots of NATO-US Imperialism.
The election campaign slogans in Ukraine that we will elect now a "new and better President" is nothing more but lies and more lies of the most vial kind.
All those who call themselves Communists must realize that you cannot make changes in a bourgeois society through parliamentary means and no capitalist society will allow the formation of Red Army Units in order to depose the regime without a revolutionary upheaval by the people and supported by the future Red Army units.
We warn you America and NATO- "Hands Off Russia!" A war that will start by you Americans, will end up on your territory!
