On the 9th of May – the Day of Victory over fascism – the meeting was held at the traditional place near the monument of soldiers -defenders of Donbass in Donetsk. It was even much larger than the meetings of those pocket professional unions and communists – opportunists. The Bourgeois administration took it into their own hands without ceremony as if they were not those bourgeois who ruined our land that was liberated by our fathers and grandfathers' blood. The meeting was short and controlled. The governor, the mayor, the chairman of regional organization of veterans and a student of military school in white uniform of cadets were speaking in public. Some poems and songs about war were heard in the speeches, a scene of capture of Reichstag was performed. A flock of white doves was let out into the sky. Students of military school in white uniform, soldiers of local garrison in their own uniforms of forces of Ministry of Internal Affairs (there are no other soldiers in Donetsk) and fancy – dress column of so-called soldiers inside – caps and helmets under a red flag marched past (they were organized in little columns). Such dramatized mass performance was held by tradition during Soviet times.
A year ago I saw something like that in a small Russian town Matveyev Kurgan. But that performance had more of a pageant effect of all history of Soviet State and was performed on a large stage.
Bourgeois power plays with us in such a way: they give us a holiday for a day and after that they give us blockade ration for a year.
Latest News from RussiaAccording to Russia's Envoy to NATO, Dmitry Rogozin, Ukraine's or Georgia's efforts to join NATO are on hold for the near future, maybe only when Russia's 25-year lease in Sevastapol expires or Georgia recognizes South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
Are the present Kremlin leaders leaving Byelorussian leader Alexander Lukashenko out in the cold? According to Moscow Times Report, Russia's state-owned Transnet Oil Transport has announced progress on a new pipeline which effectively circumvents Belarus! This comes after relations between Byelorussia and Russia had become increasingly strained.
After Belarus and Venezuela signed an experimental trade deal, Belarus received its first shipment of crude oil from Venezuela. This trade deal was absolutely necessary since Byelorussia tried to get a discount from Russia on crude oil. The Russian official Rustam Tankayev, in charge of these transactions said to the press that: "This trade deal between Belarus and Venezuela is absurd and childish, just a demonstration of Byelorussian independence!"
President Medvedev (dual citizen of Russia and Israel – Editor) has leveled the most public criticism to date by a Russian leader against the Soviet system. Medvedev told the media: "The Soviet Union was a very complicated state; if we speak honestly, this regime cannot be called anything else than totalitarian. Unfortunately, this was a regime where all elementary rights and freedoms were suppressed."
Medvedev also slammed the great excesses of Stalin, saying "despite the fact that he worked a lot, and despite that the country recorded many successes, what he did to his own people cannot be forgiven."
What can be expected from this Put-in Medvedev and his dual Russian-Israel citizenship! Editor
At the European Human Rights Court now there are over 70 demands by relatives of the Polish Officers that were killed at Katyn by German SS that Russia pay 100 Million Dollars in damages!
Sorry Poland, you are wrong!
In fall of 1939 Poland threw out the proposal by the USSR for an alliance against the coming German invasion, and in November of 1939 Poland declared war on the Soviet Union.
On the territory of the USSR there were 200,000 Polish prisoners of war and 800 Czechoslovak prisoners of war that were held captive by this Polish Army.
On the proposal of Stalin the Czechoslovaks were each asked to sign a document that they will not fight the Soviet Army. Those that signed were let go and shipped back to their homeland. The Polish officers refused to do this.
When on July 16, 1940 when the German forces managed to surround our Soviet Army near Smolensk, they were put into a concentration camp together with the Polish officers. The Polish officers willingly gave themselves up without any struggle to try and get out of the encirclement as proposed by the Soviets. The German Nazis did not stand on ceremony in war, and in the Fall of 1944 they killed the Officers.
The proof of this was the exhumation of all the Polish officers remains from the common graves.
* The bullets and the knots tied around the wrists proved that they we killed by the Germans.
* Their hands were tied with ropes which were not produced at that time in the USSR.
* The method of burial was in German tradition.
On April 19, 2010 the CPRF Deputies of the Russian Duma held a Round Table Conference on the Katyn question.
* This Document that was discussed was the supposed letter sent by Beria to Stalin in which it is stated as to how this Katyn massacre was to be carried out by the NKVD. This Goebbels faked document blaming the CPSU had a fatal flaw in it. It overlooked the historical fact that the name of the party until 1952 was not the CPSU, but the All Union Communist Party (b) VKP(b).
* Not too long ago the forensic science examining the supposed "Beria-Stain letter" found that it was typed on two different typewriters and at different times.
With this provocation the German propagandist Goebbels tried to put barrier and distrust between Poland and the Soviet Union in struggles against Nazi Germany. He sent his agents in London this supposed "proof letter" about the Russian massacre of Polish Officers in Katyn by Soviet NKVD. This propaganda found eager listeners by the Polish Government in Exile in London, who were rabid anti-communists and hated Russians with all their might.
Today the truth about Katyn is absolutely of no interest to Medvedev and Putin at all! For them to admit that Stalin and Beria and the Soviet people are innocent of this provocation of the Katyn massacre and that the blame is on former Germany… this Moscow clique do not want to lose the chummy and very profitable cooperation in exporting gas and being hosted as Lords or Czars!
The Soviet people lived through anti-Stalinism of Khrushchev, Gorbachev and Yakovlev. This new Putin-Medvedev storm of de-Stalinization and the Katyn propaganda will not be successful at all!
For us Stalin is our Leader, our Symbol of Victory and the Rebirth for all time!

This UN Resolution gave the green light (with support by Russia and China) for a pre-emptive US-Israel attack on Iran. This in reality shows that Washington and NATO allies not only control the UN Security Council, they in fact call the shots for the foreign policy of Russia and China! This UN Resolution should dispel the constant propaganda diatribe and the promoted myth that the superpowers are competing against each other on the world scale. Both Russian and Chinese leadership are just an appendage of the US New World Order!
As Michel Chossudovsky said in an article: " Both China and Russia are just "Paper Tigers" with no teeth at all!" Russia and China failed humankind in the UN to stand up for the truth, for decency and for defending the world against Imperialism and its partner Zionism! Russia and China were both complicit in voting down a resolution at the UN Security Council condemning Israel for its attack on the Gaza Flotilla in international waters and killing innocent peace activists!
The UN Security Council exercises double standards in applying sanctions – as directed by Obama's White House – against Iran which absolutely has NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS, while Israel has an enormous stockpile of nuclear weapons and acts like a bully in this volatile region.
This UN Resolution against Iran is also a veiled threat against Russia and China, both surrounded by US military facilities, missiles all pointed at their cities and defensive installations.
The Obama Administration has officially announced that “The Pentagon has embarked on a building boom in Central Asia, which includes construction of military bases in all of the five former Soviet Republics!”
The ethnic strife, killing and rampage in Kyrgyzstan between Kyrgyz and Uzbeks is part of a false-flag, in order to keep the pot boiling, instigate strife and ethnic clashes (which were unheard of during Soviet times) while behind the scenes NATO works hard in this vital region. The Kremlin and Chinese leaders are too busy at Summits, Conferences and drinking cocktails, having photo-ops, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on security, building barricades to keep the people that supposedly voted for them from being near and then waiting for other expensive Summits to take place.
Both Russia and China are willing victims of US imperialism due to the sell-out policies of their present leadership!
If US imperialism and its New World Order are not stopped, this could flare up into a Third World War!
This China-Russia condoned US-NATO-Israel adventure threatens the future of all humanity.
THIS WORLD NEEDS UNITY AGAINST THESE PARASITES!
113 dead, 1,400 wounded, villages burnt to the ground"
Hey Mr. Gorbachev, Yakovlev, Putin and Medvedev – is this what your "democracy" means?
Ethnic Uzbeks try to extinguish a fire in their homes that were torched
by the Kyrgyz men in Jala-Abad. Mobs burned Uzbek villages. This is
fanned by outside forces to make way for US building of military bases
in all of the 5 former Soviet Republics.

This letter below is from a woman who was born and grew up in Latvia and now saw the joys of capitalism there.
"I am still in shock from my trip to Riga. Of course it was nice to see my parents, but all of the rest -I simply cannot get this nightmare out of my head. I haven't been home for over two years -everything has changed – but all of this was very predictable after socialism was abandoned. Public transport is all but empty when we came to our destination...the city looked dead, completely empty and this was at the beginning of summer! My Mother said that practically everyone went to find work abroad.
All around the central market and under your feet were drunken men and women lying in the streets begging. The houses are un-kept, not painted, shabby, people in the streets not a smile on their faces. They are silent, both Latvians and Russians, all dressed very poorly. No children are to be seen on the streets. The shops have lost their Latvian designs. The pride of the Latvians is lost.
Where are you, the former charming "Baltic Nice"?
After staying with my parents for a couple of days, we decided to visit Yurmala (a former USSR sea side resort). We wanted to stay in the former Soviet Sanatorium of the Latvian Academy of Sciences Lilupe – but it was in ruins.
The seaside sand dunes are overgrown with weeds; no one cleans up the center of town. But the big houses of the rich are all polished and brand new – no journalists are allowed to report on them and they live in peace and splendor!
Somehow the ethnic Latvians won't go into the streets in protest with signs, afraid of being labeled "socialists". If feels as if everybody knows the truth, but keeps a sort of secret agreement with the present bourgeois authorities.
My friend who works with the police, had her salary slashed by 50%. The pensions have been slashed, and those pensioners that have to work to survive, have to pay extra taxes. My Mother has to give private lessons in secret. The IMF demands of Latvian authorities to make ever-bigger cuts.
Coming back to Riga, there was a Summit of NATO here, and the NATO Colonels like it here in Latvia now – they are being fed very well, and the women are cheap. There was a photo exhibit to celebrate "Latvia's independence". How ironic: what independence and for whom?!
Old Riga was disgusting: foreign gobbling drunken mobs drinking in cafes; empty souvenir shops, no local people in the streets; and if one passes by, he looks scared as if he is not at home. My impression of Riga today is that it is sinking deeper and deeper and the people are drowning.
The European boom is over! Time for hangover is here, but nobody want to admit it. It is a horribly absurd situation in this "independent Latvia today!"
From an Australian reader of NSC
The death in a plane crash near Smolensk, Russia, not too long ago of President Kaczynski of Poland, the blame was that it was Russia and this undercurrent was brought to the surface of Katyn massacre of Polish officers during WW II. The Polish plane was on its way to Smolensk to commemorate the victims that were murdered by Nazi SS troops.
This murder was made public by the Nazis themselves, who accused the Soviets and Stalin of having committed it. No proof was ever produced at that time to substantiate this Nazi SS claim.
This was given tacit approval of the London Poles and this then gave the Nazi Minister Goebbels the much needed approval to spread this lie. Many reputable journalists at that time ridiculed this preposterous claim; they knew fully well that the Nazis committed this crime.
Today, the same lie is being spread by Goebbels admirers who masquerade as journalists. These journalists are nothing but mouthpieces of the media barons, licking their asses in order to curry favour with them, and being rewarded by being thrown a bone, as one would to a mongrel dog.
This Katyn tragedy was used to heap abuse and to misinform postwar young generations about the Great Stalin and the mighty USSR and the CPSU (Bolshevik) and also the great victory over German Nazism...otherwise the world would still be groaning under a Nazi yoke.
The world media has shed rivers of crocodile tears over this Polish President, but in reality they couldn't give a damn. He was just a puppet, and like any puppet in a Punch and Judy show, he is easy to replace by his puppeteer masters when he was no longer needed.
Not long after this tragic accident, the U.S. installed its missiles on the Polish soil, threatening now the security of Russia. How will the present capitalist regime of Russia react to this?
History has shown again and again that Poland was and is the corridor through which Western invaders had attacked Russia and the Soviet Union!
