Ukraine: Why Russia Fights

Communist Party of the Russian Federation   by V N Tetekin Many comrades are asking about the character of hostilities in Ukraine. The assessment prevalent so far has been imposed by the Western media. However, by now the nature of the Russian Armed Forces operation to liberate Ukraine from Nazism has become apparent. What prompted the start of the special operation? Beginning from December 2021 Russia had been receiving data on NATO’s plans to deploy troops and missile bases in Ukraine. Simultaneously an onslaught on the territory of Donbas was being prepared. About a week before the start of Russia’s special operation the plan was uncovered of an offensive that envisaged strikes by long-range artillery, multiple rocket launchers, aviation, to be followed by an invasion of Ukrainian troops and Nazi battalions. It was planned to cut off the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) and Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) from the border with Russia, encircle and besiege Donetsk, Lugansk and other ci

What is Happening in Ukraine?

Communist Party of the Russian Federation   by Vyacheslav Tetekin There is a war in Ukraine Outwardly, it looks like an armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine. All political forces, including Left, have spoken out about these events. The range of assessments: from humanistic-emotional ("people are dying, stop the war") to purely class ("The West is pushing two oligarchic regimes"). In fact, this conflict has deep roots. When analysing the situation, we must consider both the national content of the class struggle and the class content of the national struggle. What is Ukraine? The territory of present-day Ukraine until the middle of the 17th Century was a sparsely populated space, contested by neighbouring countries. By the beginning of the 20th Century the lands of present-day Ukraine were divided between Poland, Austria-Hungary and Russia. After 1917 revolution some of these lands temporarily declared independence. In 1922 however, they joined the USSR as the U

Lies, censorship and closing down debate

NATO’s Info-War on Ukraine  Since February 24, every UK media outlet has been overwhelmed with fake news, false flag events, and pure invention by political and military ‘experts’, aimed at portraying the government and military of the Russian Federation as evil mass murderers. In recent years NATO’s info-war tactics have become a war weapon in themselves, in Russia’s case to justify building NATO bases and filling Ukraine with cutting edge weapons, without Ukraine actually being in NATO. NATO’s ultimate aim is to achieve regime change in Russia to one which is compliant with NATO’s aims, which is hostile to People’s China, and will end assistance for countries like Venezuela, Cuba or Syria. The war in Syria was the first in which a duplicate version of reality was created. Reactionary jihadists speaking perfect English were trained in communication technology to produce fake atrocity videos in areas where western reporters faced possible beheading. Members of the Western-created White

Victory to the anti-fascist forces of Donbas and their allies!

US /NATO hands off Russia! The NATO-funded Ukrainian Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion and other far right Ukrainian nationalists have slaughtered many thousands in Donbas in last 8 years. On February 24, the anti-fascist Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, together with the Russian Federation, launched a military action with the goal of “demilitarization and denazification” of Ukraine. It is in the interest of poor and working people, anti-war and anti-imperialist forces in the US and other NATO countries, to take an unambiguous position in solidarity with the anti-fascist forces. The real war danger comes from US and NATO forces surrounding Russia. The government in Kiev is their proxy, with no regard for the people of Ukraine. In March 2014 British foreign secretary William Hague lied to the House of Commons when he said that the removal of Viktor Yanukovych was in accordance with the Ukrainian constitution, saying “It is wrong to question the legitimacy of the new authorities”.
