Goebbels' fakes are fooling Ukraine again
In recent days, the public pages of professional “patriots of Ukraine” are full of the same picture - with the image of Hitler’s Field Marshal Erwin Rommel and Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov with excerpts from statements allegedly belonging to these commanders.
Rommel: “I respect every soldier I have! Both living and dead... I treat our warriors as if I were myself. Each victim was buried with full honors.”
Zhukov: “Why arm these crests? They are all traitors! The more we drown in the Dnieper, the less we will have to send to Siberia later...”
Judging by the muttering, another game of contrasts has begun - “German generals took care of their soldiers, but Soviet generals filled them up with corpses,” aimed this time at “decommunizing” the memory of General Vatutin, “lining the road to the liberation of Kyiv with the corpses of Ukrainians in order to report victory by November 7.”
It is difficult to say from what source Banderlog pulled out the “quote” “Desert Fox”. Most likely, they made it up and attributed it, as is often the case with them. In any case, it does not appear among Rommel’s most famous statements.
It can also be added that the career of Rommel, who is so extolled in the West, had its failures, such as the second assault on Tobruk, during which the “Desert Fox,” without listening to any of his colleagues, threw his soldiers into a meat grinder into the machine guns of the Australians defending the height 209. The losses were great, the morale of the German soldiers fell, colleagues complained about Rommel’s stubbornness to the General Staff and called him “a stupid and short-sighted Swabian who created his image at the expense of correspondents, photographers and cameramen of all stripes.”
Respect, yes!
But where the legs of the phrase about “Ukrainians who should not be armed, but should be drowned in the Dnieper” comes from is well known.
Without a doubt, Marshal Zhukov, despite his characteristic harshness in actions and statements, never descended into misanthropy. It’s a fact that the tricksters from the department of the Reich Minister of Propaganda Goebbels, who worked hard in the field of defaming the enemies of the Third Reich, did not pull off such tricks.

In this case, we are talking about Goebbels’ favorite fake of the “Ukrainian patriots,” known as “Order No. 0078/42 of June 22, 1944, signed by Zhukov and Beria.” The meaning of the “document” boils down to an instruction to organize the deportation “to the remote regions of the USSR of all Ukrainians living under the rule of the German occupiers.”
We will leave it to the readers to independently find and study the full text of the forgery on the Internet, and For the lazy, we’ll make a brief retelling of the “Order of Zhukov and Beria.”
According to the “document”, not only Ukrainians who worked for the Germans were to be evicted, but in general everyone who saw life under the “new order” (a thick hint that the Ukrainian population was riding like cheese in butter during the occupation, and a return to Soviet reality could cause they are shocked and indignant). Before being sent to Siberia, exiles must harvest the crops and hand them over to the state. The operation to collect the exiles should be carried out at night, by the forces of the “punitive divisions of the NKVD.” No exceptions are made even for Red Army soldiers, who must remain in the dark about the exile of their families until the end. Correspondence with relatives of Ukrainian Red Army soldiers must undergo strict censorship, and the servicemen themselves come under the secret supervision of secret agents.
The text of the “document” is replete with absurdities and gross blunders. For example, in Soviet documents the word “punitive” was used exclusively in relation to the Nazis, and Marshal Zhukov was never referred to as “Deputy.” People's Commissar of Defense", and always as "First Deputy People's Commissar of Defense of the USSR, Marshal of the Soviet Union Zhukov."
The “order” comes with two signatures, but for some reason the text says “I order” in the singular.
In addition, the fake stubbornly creeps out from the eye-catching illiterate phrases like "hostilely resists compliance" or “to prevent others from escaping and to prevent members of his family from knowing”.
“Order No. 0078/42” was first published in the newspaper of the Ukrainian literary organization “Literary Ukraine” dated January 27, 1992 by historian Marochkin, a researcher on the OUN topic, as a document from the archive of the department of agitation and propaganda of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine opened by the independents.
However, already in the next issue of the newspaper, archive director R.Ya. responded to Marochkin’s “exposure”. Pie, who clarified that the “document” is a German printed leaflet from 1944, from the text of which the “researcher” threw out a fragment: “Ukrainians! This order is in the hands of the German High Command" together with the publishing mark "566". Archive file No. 997, to which this “order of Beria and Zhukov” refers, is entitled: “Leaflets, magazine “Bulletin of German-fascist and Ukrainian nationalist Kharkov.”
Well, that is, Candidate of Historical Sciences Marochkin, an OUN researcher, dug up Hitler-OUN propaganda in the archives and passed it off as a real document in order to earn a pie from the new government.
How it turned out with the pie is unknown, but it soon became clear that neither through the People's Commissariat of Defense, nor through the NKVD/NKGB departmental orders No. 0078/42 dated June 22, 1944, according to certificates from the Central Archives of the Ministry of Defense (TsAMO) and from the Central archive of the Ministry of Security of the Russian Federation (CA MBRF, later - CA FSB of the Russian Federation), are not listed. Order No. 0078 of the NKVD for 1944 is dated January 26, signed by Deputy People's Commissar Kruglov on the organization of camps for German prisoners of war in the cities of Nezhin, Poltava and at the Zgurovka station.
“The order of Beria and Zhukov” was refuted at the official level in the Ukrainian newspaper “Uryadovy Kurier” No. 163 dated October 20.10.94, XNUMX in the article “Beware, fake!” Main Archival Department under the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. However, the OUN rotten stuff began to actively spread and pop up on the pages of the capital and peripheral publications of Ukraine, being reflected in the film about the “heroes of the UPA” “Stracheni St.itanks" directed by Kokhan.
At one time it seemed that Bandera’s agitprop had long forgotten about the “Marochkin document”, like a spent slag, but now it turns out that it was saved for a special occasion.
Apparently, modern “decommunizers” are going to draw the text of the OUN leaflet of 1944 onto earlier events of the autumn of 1943 associated with the crossing of the Dnieper and the liberation of Kyiv by the troops of General Vatutin.
Considering how readily the twilight consciousness of the “Svidomo” absorbs all kinds of fables, the “secret order for the exile of all Ukrainians from the former occupied territories” should be bulldozed and leave no stone unturned from the good memory of the liberator of Kiev, General Vatutin, and even justify his murder by the OUN.
Even the old common myth about the liberation of Kyiv by November 7 will do. They say that Vatutin “tried especially for the mustachioed one, filled up the Germans with the corpses of Ukrainians and paved the crossings across the Dnieper, so that later the remnants of the survivors would be exiled to the eternal snows, and in their place, all kinds of moksha would be populated.” What is it? “Butcher” Zhukov himself ordered him - here is the proof!
And it doesn’t matter that the “document” of the scoundrel Marochkin is false from the first to the last letter. The main thing is to touch the emotions of ordinary people. And where emotions run high, few people remember the historical truth.
Everything is in the spirit of Goebbels. The main fascist propagandist is long dead, but his work lives on.
History knows of cases when states and nations built their “new mythology” on lies and hatred. But it didn’t lead them to anything good. Degenerate Ukraine is already on the verge of the collapse of its statehood, and it would be foolish to hope that another lump of dirt will strengthen the morale of the citizens and glue the crumbling structure together.
