The falsification of history


the address by the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation to the parliaments of foreign states and the peoples of the world on the inadmissibility of falsification of the history of the Second World War and rehabilitation of Nazism 

The 9th May 2025 marked the 80th anniversary of the historic victory of the Soviet Union in the Great Patriotic War. The war unleashed by Hitler's Germany and its satellites claimed the lives of 27 million Soviet citizens. Millions were imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps, lost their homes, and were subjected to forced labour in Germany and the countries under its control. 
The Great Victory is owed to the perseverance and bravery of the Soviet people, their resolute determination to defeat Nazism, which became a threat to humankind. The allies of the USSR in the anti-Hitler coalition made a significant contribution to the defeat of the Third Reich. 
The International Military Tribunal for the Trial and Punishment of the Major War Criminals of the European Axis Countries (Nuremberg Tribunal) convicted Nazi regime leaders of crimes against peace, war crimes and crimes against humanity. The facts of deportation and extermination of the civilian 
population of the USSR by the Nazis and their accomplices, as established in the verdict of the Nuremberg Tribunal, must be recognised as genocide of the peoples of the Soviet Union. 
Owing to the victory of the USSR and its Allies over Nazism, the conditions for the formation of the present-day system of international relations were created and the United Nations (UN) was established. 
The principles of international law recognised by the Charter of the Nuremberg Tribunal and reflected in the verdict of the Nuremberg Tribunal, were reaffirmed by UN General Assembly resolution 95(1) of 11 December 1946. 
The Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation supports the annual adoption by the United Nations General Assembly of the resolution” Combating the glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to the escalation of contemporary forms of racism, racial 
discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance,“as well as resolution 79/272 ”Eightieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War“ of 4 March 2025,  co-sponsored by 54 States. 
The Senators of the Russian Federation express concern about the expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, accession of non-aligned European States, militarisation of the European Union and its support for the neo-Nazi regime in Ukraine. It was in Europe where the two world wars started. Therefore Europe bears a special responsibility to humankind for preventing a new global 
confrontation. 
The denial of the USSR's decisive contribution to the victory of the anti-Hitler coalition over Germany and its satellites, glorification of Nazi criminals and their accomplices, demolition and desecration of monuments to Soviet soldiers liberators are immoral and sacrilegious. 
The Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation appeals to the parliaments of foreign States and the peoples of the world to oppose any attempts at falsification of history, rehabilitation and glorification of Nazism, 
fascism and militarism, condemn the encouragement of the neo-Nazi regime in Ukraine, incitement of a new world war, as well as demand bringing to justice those who dishonour the memory of the fighters against fascism and liberators. 
Only through joint efforts can we protect the truth about the Second World War, counter the rise of neo-Nazism, and prevent the recurrence of atrocities  against humanity.

Ukrainians flee to avoid conscription

by Alex Miller Today most Ukrainians have lost their patriotic zeal. Guided by a common instinct of self-preservation and fear of serious injury or unwanted death they are not ready to sacrifice themselves. The new Ukrainian law on military mobilisation further aggravates the situation with conscription into the army. Numerous attempts of government to straighten out the mobilisation process have generally failed. Territorial Recruiting Centres (known as TCK) cannot meet the government’s recruitment needs. Large-scale military defeats, a high number of losses, an acute shortage of weapons, the complete absence of social benefits from the state, -- all these creates conditions when the majority of Ukrainian men prefer to flee to Europe and other countries.  According to the Belgian newspaper, Politico, during this time more than 650,000 Ukrainian men fit for service fled from the country. However, the actual statistical figures are much higher. The London Guardian on 29th June 2024...

Britain joins the war in Ukraine

by K Hill While the US has brought about regime change in Ukraine with the Maidan coup in 2014, installing a thinly disguised neo-Nazi government of Banderites and corrupt politicians to loot its resources, sell its land and saddle it with massive debts thanks to dodgy IMF loans, the UK has been heavily involved in the training of their military – now the second largest European army (after Turkey) in NATO.  The UK involvement has involved everything from bringing Ukrainian commanders for "special training" in the UK, Nazi tattoos on show much to the embarrassment of the British media, to the existence of special advisors, in reality SAS and SBS units, to supervise "on the ground" the attacks on Snake Island and Kerch Bridge.  This is the real reason our British press has been so obsessed with these two "targets" over the past two years, despite their lack of strategic importance, because they are great PR and distract the British public from the grim real...

NATO in deep crisis as the dangers to Zelensky grow

  by Theo Russell The current direction of the war in Ukraine has created an acute crisis in Western capitals, above all in Washington, and the position of Vladimir Zelensky, the president elected on a promise to end the war in Eastern Ukraine, now hangs by a thread. We must make clear here that this is not a war between Ukraine and Russia; this is a war forced on Russia by the NATO alliance. Ukraine is merely a proxy for NATO and is paying a horrific price for this war. The weaknesses of the once mighty NATO alliance have been exposed: after decades of relocating factories to developing countries they have now discovered that they are no longer able to produce sufficient weapons for a major sustained war. In contrast Russia, which Western experts love to claim has a GDP the size of Italy, has proved to be a manufacturing superpower with a highly skilled workforce and mighty technological and scientific resources. Russia has not only increased arms production, from bullets to hyper...
