We came for the "Memorial"

20 years of condensation of the fascist nebula: from Putin’s participation in the civil forum along with Lyudmila Alekseeva and Sergey Kovalev - before the destruction of the Memorial

First, one historical rhyme.

81 years ago, on November 12, 1940, the People’s Foreign Commissar of the USSR Molotov arrived on a visit to Berlin for negotiations with Hitler, and Hitler offered him the accession of the USSR to the countries of the axis as a full-fledged fourth participant. The USSR, contrary to many years of lies of Soviet propaganda, agreed to accept Hitler’s proposal, but put up his conditions. Hitler offered the Soviet Union Indian and Pacific Oceans, Central Asia, East and a little southern Europe. Molotov was authorized by Stalin to bring the rights to the Persian Gulf, Finland, Bulgaria and the Mediterranean straits. Did not agree. The pact of the four powers was torn.

There was no ideological enmity between Hitlerism and Stalinism, they were united by hatred of the parliamentary democracies of Europe and the USA. At the beginning of World War II, it was an official position of the USSR leadership:

“The ideology of Hitlerism, like any other ideological system, can be recognized or denied, this is a matter of political views. But any person will understand that ideology cannot be destroyed by force, one cannot end the war with it. Therefore, it is not only pointless, but also criminal to wage such a war as the war for the "destruction of Hitlerism", covered by the false flag of "democracy" ... " - V.M. Molotov at the extraordinary fifth session of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on October 31, 1939.

Here are the courtesy that representatives of the two fraternal regimes exchanged six months before they clung to each other in the throats:

“I am sure that in both countries today is a regime that does not want to wage war and which needs peace for internal construction” - Adolf Hitler Vyacheslav Molotov, November 12, 1940.

“There are a lot of similar in the USSR and Germany, since both parties and both states of the new type” - Vyacheslav Molotov Rudolf Hess, November 13, 1940.

Let's get back these days. The Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Krasnov appealed to the Supreme Court with a claim for the liquidation of the Memorial*. In addition to the actual Memorial itself, the Memorial human rights center also want to liquidate: if the Prosecutor General’s Office is the first to deal with, then the Moscow prosecutor’s office sent the second lawsuit in the Moscow City Court. Loquied under the root. So that there are no traces.

The international historical-educational, human rights and charitable society "Memorial"* was created in January 1989 to study political repression in the USSR.

His first chairman was Andrei Dmitrievich Sakharov.

Now this is the Commonwealth of dozens of organizations in Russia, Germany, Kazakhstan, Italy, the Czech Republic, Belgium, France, Ukraine, leading a huge research, human rights and educational work.

The destruction of the "memorial" is a symbolic event. This is a reference point indicating the overcoming of a certain line in the further fascist of Russia. The spiritual heirs of the executioners decided to finally destroy the organization that examined the crimes of these executioners for more than 30 years, kept the memory of their victims. The Memorial was the operator of historical memory and the structure of civil society, which allowed the part of the society that consists of the descendants of the repressed, to hope for the restoration of historical justice. And most importantly - to hope that the current thickening of the fascist nebula will not reach the point where the repression becomes massive. The Memorial tried to put this obstacle to this, preserving the memory of repressions, protecting the human rights, conducting a competition of historical research work of high school students on the topic “A person in history. Russia is the XX century ”in the hope that historical memory will not allow the country to slide into the same hole for the second time ...

20 years ago in November 2001, Putin performed at the First Civil Forum. The head of the Helsinki group Lyudmila Alekseev and other human rights activists were sitting on the presidium. This is what Putin said then:

“Civil society cannot be created at the direction. It feeds on the spirit of freedom, and the state should create only a favorable environment. ”

Fascism then came in a mask. Although the mask was sliding all the time and it was not difficult to make out a devilish guise under it. But many, including very worthy people, really did not want to look the truth.

The famous human rights activist Valentin Gifter said that the results of the first day of the forum are satisfied: “ Putin lacks an administrative resource, and he came for support. So that we put pressure on officials. ” Another human rights activist, the chairman of the publicity protection fund Alexei Simonov, was also very pleased and joyfully announced: " Such unity is the death of Berezovsky." In addition, he was very flattered to the forum of the executive branch: " All ministers will listen to us."

Many public figures-participants in the civil forum very much scolded the media, which for some reason were not delighted with this event. The President of the International Confederation of Consumer Societies Alexander Auzan was very unhappy with journalists: “ In recent weeks, they discovered a new country - civil society. But instead of writing about our product - social services that millions of fellow citizens use, they are trying to find out what a flag is the Kremlin or opposition. ”

Ella Pamfilova (yes, the same) explained the leader of the “Civil Dignity” movement that “ it is unacceptable when they blame power in all troubles”, that society is to blame, because “ it is lazy, indifferent and cruel. Such a society breeds scum, nationalists. ” But the main enemy is, of course, the media, because " television games awaken the lowest instincts."

At the time of the civil forum, NTV was already destroyed and it was necessary to squeeze his eyes very tightly, so as not to see where the Putin regime drags the country. Over the next 20 years, Putin made a total cleansing of the media and the political field, eliminated the remnants of the independence of the vessels, turned the parliament first into “no place for discussions”, then into a frantic printer, and then even into the obscureness that is now sitting in the State Duma, overtook the constitution and law, occupied the Crimea and imprisoned his main opponent.

And now they have come for the Memorial*. Fascism finally dropped the mask. Like 80 years ago, when Stalin’s red fascism was ready to get together with Hitler's brown fascism and a public was publicly announced. Today, spiritual heirs and direct descendants of the executioners ceased to be shy and declared a war on the victims of repression. They laugh in our face, are proud of the crimes of great terror and openly declare: “We can repeat!”.
