– 650 thousand Soviet soldiers laid their lives on the Polish soil, – says Cyprian Darchevsky, known journalist and political commentator. – We should look at them as ordinary people, young men who went to death not with a dream to install a tyranny, but with a sincere desire to free Poland from the Nazi invaders.

...

During the Nazi occupation of Poland, it lost 21.4% of its population.

...

Yes, a regime was established for 45 years in Poland, which was not a sweet for us. But nobody destroyed Poles as a nation, their country was an independent state, even under the influence of “big brother” in Moscow. Republic has risen from the ruins in the shortest timespan possible with the Soviet money. But they prefer to simply turn a blind eye on this fact in modern Poland.

Intel: in two or three weeks Kiev is expected to start a massive new offensive on Donbass. False flags, provocations and terrorist acts to sabotage, or make more difficult, the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory (WWII Victory Day) celebration in Russia on May 9th are also possible. Since Nemtsov murder near Kremlin, Russians are on full alert; therefore, I expect it won’t be possible in Moscow and/or the main Russian cities. But Ukraine and Donbass are a different story.

According to the expert of the Russian Military Sciences Academy Vladimir Prokhvatilov (interview link), confirmed by multiple intelligence sources in Donbass and Ukraine, Kiev is expected to start a new massive offensive on Donbass in order to surround and cut Donetsk off Lugansk, with simultaneous attack on Lugansk. We will recall that a similar recent attempt resulted in the Debaltsevo cauldron, where thousands of Ukrainian troops perished. This time, the result will be the same, but it appears Kiev doesn’t care about the result, it only cares about making the life of the Donbass people as difficult as possible, and about sabotaging Russian holidays.

Kiev has officially broken the Minsk agreements. Instead of pulling its heavy artillery away from the front lines in oder to create a demilitarized zone, Kiev is amassing heavy artillery, tanks and troops.

It is believed that they will attack during the sacred Orthodox Holiday – Pascha (Easter). Previous mass bombings of DNR and LNR, as well as mass attacks by Kiev on both republics, were all scheduled during an important holiday, in order to spoil people’s celebration. This year, Pascha is celebrated on April 12.

Tragedy in Konstantinovka: Today the city of Konstantinovka in Donetsk region, which is presently under the Kiev junta occupation, buried the 8-year-old girl killed three days ago by the Kiev soldiers.

Two drunk Ukraine soldiers driving a heavy armored vehicle “Ural” ran over three people on city sidewalk. A young mother was walking with her two children: 5-month-old baby in a stroller and 8-year-old girl Polina. Polina died on the spot; the mother and the baby were taken to the hospital. Information about their condition is being blocked by Kiev.

On the footage below it is clearly visible that armored vehicle “Ural” ran over two tall posts located on the curb of the road and continued moving through the dirt separator, at least 3-4 meters in width, between the road and sidewalk, slamming into the unsuspecting people who had the misfortune to walk past. Both soldiers were so drunk, they could hardly stand on their feet. The driver, 23 (born 1991), is from Lvov – the city in western Ukraine, which is a hotbed of ukro-nazism. It has been reported that in their drunken stupor they decided to drag race on the busy road full of civilians and located in the city center.

As angry crowd started gathering at the scene, the commander arrived almost immediately and whisked the two drunk soldiers away.

The crowd started throwing rocks at the car as it sped away. Later at night, angry citizens, who were demanding justice, burned tires and set on fire the army barracks, demanding Kiev troops leave the city and calling them occupiers. In response, Kiev gave order to shoot at the crowd and sent 300 ukro-nazis from the ‘right sector,’ who would have no qualms following this order.

Short History of Ukraine. Oles' Buzina 23.12.2014 | Eng. Subs

From The Saker:

Dear friends,

Today I am truly delighted to be able to present you with an amazingly interesting video: an interview of the Ukrainian writer and historian Oles Buzina in which he (in 90 minutes or so) not only covers the key moments of the history of the land which today is called “the Ukraine”, but also explains where the modern Ukraine came from and what it is.  To my knowledge, this is the first time that an English speaking audience gets access to such a thorough and well presented explanation of what the Ukraine is, and what it is not, what is factual, and what is myth....

Oles Olekseyevich Buzina - writer, publicist, historian Short history of Ukraine Kiev, December 22, 2014
0:04 - Oles Alekseyevich, lately there are such terms as Malorossiya and Novorossiya which have come back in usage. When did they appear and what terriroties include?
0:13 - If speaking about Malorossiya, the matter is more common for our people.
0:19 Because... Malorossiya often mentioned in works of Gogol, Shevchenko.
0:26 Paustovskiy has such episode when Nikolay II comes to the 1st Kiev gymnasium, and passing by pupils, he comes up to Paustovskiy and asks who he is by nationality. He answers - Maloros.
0:40 Kiev, at the same time as Bulgakov, before World War I Paustovskiy finished 1st Kiev gymnasium.
0:48 So, it is more or less clear with Malorossiya. Malorossiya is traditionally a left-bank Ukraine without Slobozhanschina.
0:56 What is left-bank Ukraine? This is 10 cossack regiments, which became so called Getmanschina (Zaporizhian Host).
1:03 Because Slobodskaya Ukraine is the present Kharkov region. It was directly controlled by Moscow.
1:08 These were lands of Moscow empire which were populated by cossacks who escaped from Poland.
1:15 They escaped from the right-bank, and settled near Kharkov. There was Krakov regiment, Akhtyrka, Ostrogorsk.
1:22 These are all Slobodsiye regiments. They were administratively controlled by Moscow. I.e. not by means of the Hetman of Malorossiya, but directly.
1:30 And Kiev regiment, the capital city was not Kiev by the way, but Kozelets.
1:35 Why was the capital not in Kiev, but Kozelets? By the way, all Rozumovskiys originate from Kozelets, Hetman Rozumovskiy, his elder brother Aleskey, they are all from Kozelets.
1:46 There was a road going across this city to Petersburg.
1:49 Kiev was a frontier city. After Andrusovskiy truce in 1667, the border between Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, in simple words Poland, and Russia, Russian state, it was so called at the times of Aleksey Mikhailovich by the way,
2:06 the word Russian was used at the time of Peter's father, there are a number of documents.
2:11 So, the border passed along the Dnepr.
2:13 And only near Kiev it was like, sorry for my words, a pleasant pimple, like a base, let's say, neutrally to the side of Poland.
2:22 And really, the border passes along the river Irpen. And they said that they went to Poland, when they crossed the Irpen. They appeared in Poland.
2:30 Until the partitioning of the Commonwealth at the time of Ekaterina II, can you imagine? Such situation was until the end of 18th century.
2:37 And as Kiev was a frontier city, it was dangerous to locate a regiment administration.
2:42 That's why the regiment administration was located in the left bank of the Dnepr in Kozelets.
2:46 And by the way, Rozumovskiy, the secret of Rozumovskiys' rise was that they originated from the regiment city, in fact, where the regiment administration was.
2:54 They were in the know. They understood how papers moved, finances, where to go to make a career.
3:02 So, Malorossiya is Kiev regiment, Chernigov regiment, Poltava regiment, Gadyach regiment excelled from Poltava regiment.
3:13 It is more pleasant for me, because my ancestors are from Akhtyrka hundreds of Gadyach regiment, in father's line.
3:19 They seemed to also emigrate after Berestechko from right-bank Ukraine, because the surname Buzina is met in Uman regimetn in 17th century, in 1649.
3:30 But Uman regiment broke into pieces after... during the Great Ruin, after the death of Bogdan Khmelnitskiy.
3:40 And seems that my ancestors moved there. It was really migration, transfer. They gathered their things.
3:46 All right-bank Ukraine which didn't want to stay under Poland, moved to the left bank. The left bank was not populated, Malorossiya appeared this way.
3:57 Why was it not populated? There were Tatars. They moved all the time, actively.
4:00 And the first colonization, i.e. resettlement, started around 60 years before Bogdan Khmelnitskiy. Its organizer was Prince Vishnevetskiy.
4:13 Father and grandfather of the famous Iyeremeya Vishnevetskiy. And the father and grandfather were Christian.
4:19 I.e. they were closely connected with their people.
4:22 And they opened colonization of the present Poltava region. The capital was in Lubny, there was a prince castle. Certainly, it was destroyed during the rebel of Bogdan Khmelnitskiy.
4:33 These regiments: Chernigov, Starodub, made up Malorossiya.
4:40 Zaporozhian Sich was separate from it. It was in different jurisdiction: either in double Polish-Russian, or in Turkish, for example.
4:50 Or it took Swedish orientation during Mazepa in 1708. Everything was there.
4:55 This is Malorossiya, in present left-bank Ukraine.
4:58 And by the way, when in the end of 18th century, at the time of Ekaterina II Kiev region on the right-bank, Cherkassy region, Podolsk province according to revolution scheme, Volyn, Holmsk were annexed,
5:19 when all these were annexed to the Russian empire due to three separations of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, this was started to call Ukraine.
5:29 And when in 1812 Aleksandr I formed militiamen because of Napoleon invasion, cossack Malorossiyan regiments were formed on the left-bank, and cossack Ukrainian regiments on the right-bank.
5:43 This is the situation if we speak about it for the beginning of 19th century.
5:48 If we talk about the situation for the end of 16th century, a short and narrow line of the border was called Ukraine, approximately, near famous Subotovo, Cherkassy at the times of Bogdan Khmelnitskiy.
6:02 In this area, on maps of the end of 16th century - beginning of 17th century...
6:07 - i.e. far from Kiev? - Yes... seriously far. I would say 200 km, if not mistaken.
6:13 Maps were certainly West-European, because our ancestors started to make maps significantly later, in 18th century, they made their own maps.
6:24 But these were Russian maps, i.e. these are map-makers who were taught by West-European specialists.
6:30 After Peter I, from the time of Peter I and later, they started to make Russian maps.
6:35 And before they used European maps.
6:38 Everybody knows well the Boplan map, and before Boplan there was also the history of map making.
6:45 And on the maps before Boplan, there was an inscription in little little words in this area of Cherkassy-Kanev - Ukraine.
6:53 In the area where the Ros mouths into the Dnepr, approximately there.
6:59 Where Kagarlyk is, to the south from Kiev, without doubts.
7:03 And if names like Novgorod-Severskiy princedom, they wrote like this. It was written in big letters.
7:11 Or Podolye, it was written in big letters. But Ukraine was in tiny letters. Because the term was not widely spread.
7:18 Like the term France. Initially il de France, the island of France. It has nothing to do with the present huge territory in 12th century, for example.
7:28 So, it was like a French pigeon which was not eaten in a restaraunt yet, did dirt near Paris. This was the France of 12th century.
7:38 And Ukraine, tiny tiny, frontier. Boderland in English, the land at the border.
7:45 And Walter explains the origin of Ukraine this way, the word Ukraine.
7:49 Boplan explains this way, everybody, all Italian travellers, everybody knew that it was Oukraine, Ukraina, it was pronounced, written in different ways.
8:00 Sometimes through 'O', simetimes through 'U" in the beginning, sometimes through 'Ou'.
8:05 The language was a little bit different. Imagine, it was not Ukrainian yet.
8:10 I.e. there are no texts witten in Ukrainian. Not any.
8:14 No matter how many times you are shown the Peresopnytsia Gospels, it could be called proto-Ukrainian language, but not Ukrainian in any way.
8:22 And what is the most interesting, bi-linguility was common for this territory of Ukraine, Malaya Rus. Even three-linguility. If we take Bogdan Khmelnitskiy, he spoke Polish, Rusyn, it was so called, Rusyn language.
8:39 And Tatar languange, and Tatar was perceived like a dialect of Turkish.
8:43 Now, as linguists say, these are a little different things, but a little.
8:49 And it was a norm in this land, in this point where various influences crossrods, to know several languages, as it is now.

Sorry mate, but this one is a big pile of sh... rubbish: http://stanislavs.org/the-hungarian-amnesia/

Well we true Hungarians used to celebrate the Day of Honour on the 11th of February. Politicians, jews, (aka the Elite) and their brainwashed zombies used to celebrate with you guys. (Be happy with it.) But they are not us, and their heroes are not our heroes, and no we are not at all grateful for exporting democracy and freedom for us :/.

Stepping carefully on the steep stairs, I climb Mount Gellert: in 1947 there was a monument to 80,000 Soviet soldiers killed in the battle for the capital of Hungary. You can see in my photos what’s left of it – a bronze figure of a soldier with the PCA has been removed, five-pointed star is removed, the names of all 146 who died in the battle for Gellert carefully erased from the marble stella – a monument was simply made impersonal. And not far from another obelisk to the soldiers of the USSR in the center of Budapest (at Freedom Square), there is even a monument to… an ally of Hitler – dictator Miklos Horthy. And even though this initiative is not coming from the government, but from the far-right party “Jobbik”, the closeness is quite disgusting.

In very hot summers, the winter weather melts and turns into mud.  Which is also not helpful when you are trying to blitzkrieg.   

Regardless, if the Russians had stopped the Bolshevik Revolution then the Germans wouldn't have freaked out and went all crazy.

It makes me sick to my stomach to see this issue abandoned. Is this how we treat terrorism, with total absence of repercussions???
I don't care who did it, both Ukraine and Russia should be punished, until it is clear who was responsible.

By the way, what happened to Crimea? So it's Russia now? No one is talking about it anymore...

This is the way that the U.S., which is occupying Ukraine (by coup), talks about Russia, which protected the Crimeans from being subjected to the hell that the people in Donbass are now experiencing from the Ukrainian Occupying Regime, no legal Government at all. And, for that — the sheer illegality of what Obama did — just read this. Then consider that Obama is demanding that the entirely undemocratic and forced transfer of Crimea by the Soviet dictator Khrushchev in 1954 must stand as being legal, while this entirely democratic plebiscite on the issue in 2014 must be called “not voluntary, transparent, or democratic.” That takes some nerve (and a deceived public).

Lest We Forget.
I am not a big fan of people telling me what I need to remember.
That phrase tends to be part of some heavy propaganda...

However, we've never seen complete destruction of economic systems. That's something that is hard to wrap the mind around for most. The best analogy perhaps is the First World War.  Slaughter had never happened before on this scale.The men left for the front lines in a hurry in 1914. Up for the challenge and afraid to miss the big show. They found out all too quickly that the massive slaughter that occurred on those front lines was not any kind of great struggle for a higher cause. What they found was humanity turning on itself in a global slaughter of a generation. Four years later, after unimaginable horror and destruction, the phrase was "never again". Eleven years later mankind did it all over again. When that one was over we had a new phrase: "Lest we Forget". Sometimes ... often times, it seems that our desire to dominate each other is never fully satisfied.

The revolution, suppressed on Khrushchev’s orders, cost the Hungarian people 2652 killed citizens. The war on Hitler’s side claimed the lives of 300,000 Hungarian soldiers and 600,000 civilians – 10 percent (!) Of the total population. This is not to mention the following: the Soviet Union “shelved” the facts of Hungary’s participation in punitive operations in 1941-1944 in our country. Executions of women, burnt villages, the executions of the partisans, torture of prisoners of war – tens of thousands of victims. Documents are still kept in Russian archives: take only one case among many. On May 28, 1942 Hungarian soldiers shot 350 people in the village of Svetlov in Bryansk region “for helping the partisans”. Peasant woman gave E. Vedeshina gave testimony about it, the punishers killed her four children – 11, 8, 5 and 1 year(!) old. She miraculously survived, lying in a hole under the children’s corpses. Why am I saying this? Seems like we must forgive these kinds of atrocities, but our mistakes in Eastern Europe, no one at all forgets and is still reminding us about at every step.

Fix't.

Never forget the rise of National Socialism was largely a reaction to the bloody Bolshevik Revolution in Russia.

The prudent, hard-working Germans weren't going to put up with such Marxist scheiße happening in their country.

US to train Sonderab.... sorry, special police forces in Ukraine

Last week, Arsen Avakov, head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) announced that Kiev is working with Washington to create a unified special police force analogous to American SWAT teams. The force is to be called KORD (Korpus operativno-raptovoy diy—Instantaneous Tactical Actions Corps). Following its American counterpart, KORD will consist of “assault teams” that execute high-risk police actions with a 15-to-20-minute response time.

The announcement came as the US began sending military equipment to Ukraine. In addition, this week, Ukraine’s parliament voted to approve the presence of foreign peacekeeping forces and military units of foreign states on the country’s soil. The move lays the groundwork for the holding of joint military exercises on Ukrainian territory with US and Polish forces planned for this year.

The creation of US-trained SWAT teams in Ukraine makes clear that Kiev is preparing to suppress popular opposition to its right-wing austerity program and the brutal war the government is waging in the country’s southeast. Earlier this month, the parliament announced plans to cut pensions for working retirees by 15 percent, a move that will impact 20 million Ukrainians....

...
Here is a member of Ukraine’s parliament, or Rada, speaking on 20 November 2013, prior to the start of “Maidan” demonstrations against Yanukovych, and even before Yanukovych had announced that he would turn down the EU’s offer to Ukraine, in which this parliamentarian is describing in remarkable detail the preparations that the U.S. Embassy already had underway to produce a coup which would bring down Yanukovych and replace him with a leader who would be controlled from Washington. Hackers had gotten into the American Embassy’s emails, and this parliamentarian reported what they had discovered. He says:

 ...
Now, with that as the actual history of America’s aggression against Russia during President Obama’s second term, consider that, on 16 March 2015, which was the first anniversary of the referendum in Crimea, Jen Psaki, at the U.S. State Department headlined, “One Year Later — Russia’s Occupation of Crimea,” and she said:


This is the way that the U.S., which is occupying Ukraine (by coup), talks about Russia, which protected the Crimeans from being subjected to the hell that the people in Donbass are now experiencing from the Ukrainian Occupying Regime, no legal Government at all. And, for that — the sheer illegality of what Obama did — just read this. Then consider that Obama is demanding that the entirely undemocratic and forced transfer of Crimea by the Soviet dictator Khrushchev in 1954 must stand as being legal, while this entirely democratic plebiscite on the issue in 2014 must be called “not voluntary, transparent, or democratic.” That takes some nerve (and a deceived public).

I don't think they want to "rewrite history" or are trying to deny the victory, which was in large part achieved by Russian troops. You seem to be ignoring that it's all about the current situation in Ukraine.

It is true that USSR did help. But it was only because Germany attacked Russia in spite of previous agreement which stated that Germany and Russia will split Europe and rule together.

Could be great to get official picture of "Yalta" people celebrating it ...

1st anniverseray ... let's make some math... City is around 400.000 citizen of Crimea... and how much was out to celebrate it ? Around 3.000 .... so or all people are lazy ... or we can not tell this is a real success...

And do not come to explain this is a real success for hotel / tourist place now there ... hotel has never been so empty since the Russia annexion  

RT’s Egor Piskunov has arrived in Simferopol, the capital of Crimea, which is marking the anniversary of the watershed vote. Massive celebrations are planned for the course of the next few days in all parts of the peninsula

“So far all the locals that I spoke with here said they are confident with their choice and that they made the right decision by reuniting with Russia,” said Piskunov, “Everyone here is confident that the most important thing that they managed to achieve by reuniting with Russia was maintaining piece and order here in the region.”

"The film has already helped to ensure that the American society began to raise questions, and to his own State Department. If Psaki didn't exist, we'd love to come up with her, happy to have planted her it, if it were possible. But she exists! And is absolutely plays for us."

Israel takes care of their own people and doesn't listen to terrorist-appeasing UN liberals. If Nigeria had a strong leadership, how long do you think boko harem would walk?

Vladimir Putin is truly a sickening dog of the most repulsive sort. He really is.
