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.

Ukraine wants the Bomb!

By Alex Miller It didn’t take long. Just hours after Zelensky’s heated negotiations with Trump, Ukrainian banker Oleg Gorokovsky announced the start of a fundraising drive for a Ukrainian ‘Nuclear Bomb Project’. Gorokovsky is a well known Ukrainian businessman and the owner of  Monobank – the largest bank in the country. He explained to local media that Trump’s failure to provide Ukraine with a “nuclear armed security framework” is forcing Ukraine to act on its own, and called the Ukrainian Nuclear Bomb Project “Yaderka” (Nuke). He claimed he’d received "many requests to start collecting for Yaderka” and said that during the first 12 hours of the appeal a million dollars had been raised to finance the start of work on developing a Ukrainian nuclear bomb. Gorokovsky later tried to backtrack and began to explain that his nuke appeal was a “joke after a hard day”. But Monobank continues to support the appeal to raise funds for the nuclear campaign. The process of collecting money con...

Donbas communists: our historic mission

  by Boris Litvinov Boris Litvinov, is the First Secretary of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) District of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) Our troops have advanced some 35 to 40 kilometres from Donetsk, which means the capital of the Donetsk People’s Republic is now beyond the reach of Ukrainian artillery and tanks, Now the administrative border of the Donetsk Republic with the Dnepropetrovsk region is just 10 kilometres away from the front. But there are still many problems due to the supply of Western weapons such as missiles and modern drones. So the attacks on Donetsk are still ongoing with weapons supplied to Ukraine from the United States, Britain, France, Germany and other NATO countries. But whatever weapons are used against us the decisive factor is the fighting soldier – the infantry. Of course, many people are now discussing the forms in which negotiations on ending the war will take place, but the question is, who will participate? And what will ...

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...
