Mark Solonin: "Filted mouth"

“I support the proposal and approve. The falsification of the history of the 2MW is time to“ plug up ”with true documentary information. It’s high time! And V.V. Putin has all the possibilities for this,” the historian writes on the blog on the website of the Echo of Moscow radio station, commenting on the need to create an archival center to shut up the “filthy mouth” for those who are trying to re -reinvent history.

“Firstly, in its direct subordination, the“ Archive of the President of the Russian Federation ”(AP RF) used to be called. This abbreviation is still used everywhere, and in quite serious scientific and historical publications, but the archive as such has long been gone. Even in the distant 1998, it was liquidated and transformed into“ The Office of the President’s Information and Documentation. The Russian Federation was closed tightly, it was not even formally included in the system of the State Archival Service of the Russian Federation, but still-the word "archive" in the name provoked attempts to ask a question, send a request, etc. Well, I do not go to the "Presidential Support Management"-I am not a president, they owe me anything ...

In the early 90s, the mountains of the most important information were raked into the funds of the AP of the Russian Federation: 15 million cases, documents of the Politburo, GKO, personal archives of Stalin, Molotov, Khrushchev, Brezhnev. They raked and for starters strictly classified, even the inventory of cases (analogue of the library catalog) are absolutely inaccessible. To tell the truth, in 1993 it was decided to transfer documents to the “historical part of the AP of the Russian Federation” to federal (that is, at least theoretically accessible to researchers) archives. The work boiled. As of 2012, four tenths of a percentage of cases were transferred. What now - I don’t know, maybe they reached half a percent.

And do not rush to rejoice - the transfer of affairs to the state archive does not yet mean declassification of the (past time) information in them. For example, the so -called "Special folders" of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the All -Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks (b). It sounds deafening. We open with excitement with excitement we open the "special folders" for August 1939 - and we do not see! We do not see the last name of the Ribbentrop in any case: either there was no at all in Moscow, or such a trifle as the agreement on a pair with Hitler with Eastern Europe did not attract the attention of the Politburo of the Central Committee.

There is a protocol of August 19. This is the very day when - according to the false message of the deceitful bourgeois agency Gavas - Stalin gathered his accomplices in order to explain the meaning of a cool turn in the foreign policy of the USSR in extremely distinct expressions. So you can’t believe the bourgeois! Judging by the declassified papers, on August 19, four days before the arrival of Ribbentrop and 12 days before the start of the World War, the Politburo gathered in order to resolve two most important issues: about the assignment of the name of Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya to some vocational school and to provide a deferred from the workers, the dumped channel in Central Asia, is not the most large channel.

In the "folders" for June 1940, information about the occupation of three Baltic countries ... is! There is a decision of the Politburo to increase the rules for the issuance of tobacco, matches and cigarette paper for the Red Army parts performing a "special task." Other issues of the Politburo did not bother.

Further, as the Supreme Commander -in -Chief V.V. Putin can give an order to the head of the Central Archive of the Moscow Region. And there is something to shut up your mouth to falsifiers! Shelves of classified cases to the ceiling. The inventories of cases are also secret, but it seems that I dreamed that in the list of classified there are also reports of Soviet military advisers in China of the 20s (yes, 20s). In the “outgoing telegrams of the People’s Commissar of Defense” for the first half of 1941, almost all sheets have two serial numbers, and some and three - that is, the documents pulled out, pulled out, pulled out, and each time they had to change the numbering. The work itself is stitched and sealed with a wax seal in 1949 - and where did these documents be stored before? And what is left of them? Well, what is left, I know. Judging by the Last June 2, the People’s Commissariat of Defense resolved one question: reducing the consumption of cement and reinforcement on the construction of the dota "Molotov Line". And also wire. On the night of June 22, a encryption leaves from Moscow to Leningrad (“Sov. Secretly”, as it should), with an order to report on the storage and use of rusty barbed wire, rumbled a year earlier with the Mannerheim line.

This year is the year of the 75th anniversary of Victory. Normal (not occupied by hopeless Bodania with an oak) people do not understand - what is the meaning of the number 75. I explain. This is the last filthy "excuse", and that ended. According to the law, we have a period of secrecy of documents 30 years. Yes, of course, this period can be extended - but for each case specifically, and with a specific indication of the reasons for such extraordinary classification.

Since there is no way to come up with at least some reasonable reason why the declassification of documents of 39-45 can undermine the defense capacity of modern Russia (there are already neither that army, nor that state, nor that territory, nor those people, agents and residents have long been suitable for the museum), then they clung to the "secret of personal life".

Hooray! According to the law, the secret of personal life is protected by 75 years. And although the Supreme Court explained that the circumstances of the performance of the duties of the state (in particular military) service are not included in the concept of "personal life", the archives clung to this "life" by a dead grip. Now all the deadlines have left (according to the most interesting period, i.e. 38-41, as you know, they have been released for a long time), so it's time to come up with something new.

In the meantime, I did not come up with - to recall the popular proverb about a cow, which is better to be silent, and not mumble. "
