What are we celebrating May 9? Victory in the Great Patriotic War. And somehow I do not want to celebrate. I want to remember the killed. More than 28 million of our compatriots died. Turned into dust. Many have not yet been found, not buried as expected.

They expect those who have no idea about that war, nor actually about victory. Some too young veterans are rehearsing something for the parade, massively attract children dressed in tinnitors to these celebrations, with combat awards on the chest. Water cardboard tanks. Circus, and nothing more. Masquerade.

Striped tapes were prepared with a large margin: 10 million meters! The cost of a linear meter is 2.48 rubles. The cost of the state order is 24,800,000 rubles ($ 484 959), writes Russian journalist Andrei Shipilov in the Facebook chronicle. Already dress up like Papuans with beads. They teased the “white -open swamps”, they were alienated, swallowing saliva, and brought themselves the tapes of the color of poisonous snakes, giving them heroicity - clinging the name “St. George”. At the Epopteum Igor Zotov even proposed to introduce criminal liability for the desecration of the St. George tape. The deputy of the law does not know, too many laws were attached. And if I knew if, I would know that such a law already exists.

We celebrate victory in the Great Patriotic War, and the whole world celebrates the end of World War II. Two completely different wars. The Second World War began on September 1, 1939, a week after the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, in which Stalin and Hitler entered into an alliance and divided Europe between themselves.

In World War II, Stalin and Hitler began to fight together. They captured Poland together.

Hitler captured Belgium and France. Stalin occupied Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia.

Hitler tried to win England. Unsuccessfully. Stalin tried to win Finland. Also unsuccessful.

And in 1941, Hitler attacked the USSR, on his ally of Stalin. Because appetite comes during meals. In war as in war. The faithful historian Nikolai Starikov, whose books the local Bukinist store is sipped, seriously believes that England and the United States were forced to attack the USSR.

At the mention of the name of Stalin, many are mentioning. Many with special enthusiasm gather all portraits with the image of Stalin, trying to independently betray the tyrant anathema. That's right. Angels dealt with the demon. Strw was demon. No one guessed to resist Stalin. Or not angels? There were people nearby, but not angels ...

In his blog, publicist Alexei Melnikov cites memories of the war L.N. Rabicheva "War will write off everything" , printed in the rampant zero years in the magazine "Banner" (2005, No. 2). The episode related to the offensive of the Red Army in Eastern Prussia, on which there should be "18+":

“We remove the dead soldier from the cart, take out his military ID, tag from his pocket. He must be buried. But first we go into the house. Three large rooms, two dead women and three dead girls, the skirts are lifted up, and empty wine bottles stick out between the legs. I walk along the wall of the house, the second door, the corridor, the door and two more adjacent rooms, on each bed, and there are three of them, dead women with legs and bottles are lying.

Well, suppose everyone was raped and shot. The pillows are flooded with blood. But where does this sadistic desire come from - to stick bottles? Our infantry, our tankers, village and city guys, all in the homeland of the family, mothers, sisters.

I understand - I killed in battle, if you do not kill, they will kill you. After the first murder, shock, one chills, the other vomiting. But here is some kind of terrible sadistic game, something like a competition: who will stick more bottles, and this is in every house. No, not we, not army signalmen. These are infantrymen, tankers, mortars. They were the first to enter the houses "

It was impossible to publish in Soviet times. But, speaking of conscience, is it really not a desire to try to try to understand the “true story”?

True story? He is not the most monstrous in these memoirs. There is more terrible. How exactly is this meaningful by historians? And by Russian citizens? After the war, the equipment of the concentration camp was transferred to the Gulag. Transmitted and accepted.

This is not meaningful. It just bashfully expels from memory, it seems that there was nothing like that. That is why it seems strange to the demand not to mention Stalin on the occasion of the Great Patriotic War. But how not to mention him if he is one of the main figures in the war?
