Than the "glorious" Hitler
Political scientist Andranik Migranan in his own way appreciated the role of Hitler in history
On April 3, Izvestia newspaper, an article by the head of the Institute of Democracy and Cooperation of the Foundation in New York, Russian political scientist Andranik Migranyan, in which the author acted as a tough critic of Professor Zubov, who was dismissed from MGIMO and Apologet Adolf Hitler
From the article by Migranan:
“In order to introduce the Russian authorities with the fascination of hell, teeth are trying to draw dubious parallels of Russian actions in Crimea with Adolf Hitler's policy on the eve of World War II. I think that the historian, and even burdened with degrees, should be more accurate in his assessments of what actually happened in German history. Hitler must be distinguished until 1939 and Hitler after 1939 and separate flies from cutlets. The fact is that while Hitler was engaged in the collection of land, and if he, as Zubov himself admitted, would be famous only for the fact that without a single drop of blood he united Germany with Austria, the Sudeters with Germany, Memel with Germany, actually completing the Bismmarka, and if Hitler would stop there, would remain in the history of his country as a politician of the highest class. ”
March 22, 1933 near the town of Dachau, under the patronage of the SS, the first concentration camp for the political opponents of the Nazis was opened. Over 22 years of its existence, 188 thousand prisoners passed through this small camp. The exact number of victims of Dachau is unknown, it is only established that from 1940 to 1945 at least 28 thousand prisoners were killed.
On September 15, 1935, the German parliament - the Reichstag - adopted the Nuremberg racial laws (a special session of the Reichstag was sitting in the city of Nuremberg): the Law of the Reich "On Citizenship" and the Law "On the Protection of German Blood and German Honor". These laws laid the beginning of the system of destruction of the Jewish population in Germany, and then in other European countries. As a result, 6 million Jews were killed, of which 1.5 million were children.
On July 15, 1937, the SS opened the death camp of Buchenwald - first for political prisoners, and after the "Crystal Night" (November 9–10, 1938), Jews, Gypsies and members of the Jehovah's Witnesses sect sent there. 250 thousand people passed through Buchenwald, at least 55 thousand were killed, of which 11 thousand were Jews
