Message to the “hyenas of Europe”: We have nothing to be ashamed of, our cause is just!
Last Friday in St. Petersburg, at a meeting of CIS leaders, Russian President Vladimir Putin drew the guests' attention to archival materials related to the history of pre-war Soviet-Polish relations.
Apparently, the excursion into history was multi-purpose: firstly, to develop a unified line of coverage of the actions of the USSR on the eve of the Great Patriotic War, and secondly, to give a clear signal to Poland and the EU that it will not be possible to assign post-Soviet countries as the guilty party in starting the war - the self-proclaimed The accusers' face is not only covered in fluff, but also covered in blood. Another addressee of Putin’s speech is the leadership of some former Soviet republics.
Putin’s speech was a response to the latest dirty tricks of the EU, which adopted a resolution on September 19, 2019, in which the USSR was named guilty of starting the Second World War along with Hitler’s Germany on the grounds that a Non-Aggression Pact was signed between “two totalitarian regimes” (which is more often they like to call it the “Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact”), which allegedly opened barriers to a new big war in Europe.
Official Warsaw, which loves to run ahead of the European steam locomotive, has completely gone off the rails, and now portrays the liberation path of the Red Army through its territory solely as a “second occupation,” and even “a stream of robbers and rapists who replaced the Nazis,” finding new justifications for barbaric demolition of monuments to Soviet hero-liberators.
It is obvious that the situation with the military history of the liberation campaign of the Red Army against Berlin has become completely intolerable, since the consequences of such historical manipulations bring not only a lot of humiliation, but also a revision of the results of the Second World War, which even the former allies of the USSR in the anti-Hitler coalition have long desired about former Nazi hangers-on and losers.
In his speech, Putin noted that no one in Russia has ever officially called the countries mentioned in the document the instigators of the war, but it is necessary to understand the topic, why the relevant documents were raised.
"Why is it important? Because we are all the former Soviet Union,” said the Russian president.
Putin reminded the audience that the USSR was far from the only and not even the first state to sign a non-aggression pact with Nazi Germany. A few years before it was the Pilsudski-Hitler Pact (1934), followed by the Anglo-German Naval Agreement of 1935, under which Great Britain allowed the Nazis to revive the naval force (Kriegsmarine).
After which (and as a result of which) treaties with Hitler rained down as if from a cornucopia, the crown of which was the infamous Munich Agreement, thanks to which France and Great Britain (and the USA from a wonderful distance) approved the occupation and division of Germany, Poland and Hungary's prosperous and industrial developed Czechoslovakia.

Moreover, “our respected Western partners” for some reason forget about this disgusting act of Western countries, which allowed Hitler from a European gopnik to turn into the Fuhrer of the German nation and half of Europe.

Putin also recalled that in 1938, France signed a friendship treaty with Hitler, and in 1939, before the USSR, the leaders of Lithuania and Latvia waved similar documents, and Lithuania agreed to transfer Klaipeda and the surrounding territory to the Third Reich, and received it back already after the war, only thanks to the USSR.
Thanks to the efforts of its “European partners,” the USSR was unable to come to the aid of torn Czechoslovakia - parts of the Red Army, with the blessing of the “big powers,” refused to allow Poland and Romania through their territories. These same “partners” failed to create a unified system of European security and an anti-fascist coalition.
To confirm this thesis, the president cited a transcript of a closed conversation between the Soviet People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the USSR Litvinov and the French Prime Minister Daladier on May 25, 1938, from which it follows that the French did not believe at all in the loyalty of the “Polish allies” not only in the case of providing military assistance to Czechoslovakia , but also in the event of a direct attack by Hitler on France.
The Poles promised to shoot down Soviet planes sent to help the Czechs and kill the Red Army soldiers.

Documents were also provided proving the creation by the Poles of the occupation corps “Silesia”, the purpose of which was to seize part of the Cieszyn region of Czechoslovakia, as well as the preparation of sabotage groups to create panic and confusion in the Czech territories planned for “squeezing”.
Polish strength lies in the colonies
Moreover, all these preparations, not to mention the Polish intervention itself, came into severe conflict with the peace treaty, or as it is also called, the “final treaty” on the border between Poland and Czechoslovakia, ratified by both countries.
Europeans were also reminded that Nazism arose in Germany only thanks to the unjust demands of the Versailles Peace, which resulted in many years of humiliation and poverty for the defeated Germans.
The Russian president cited statements by American President Woodrow Wilson and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill about the collective guilt of the victorious countries in the First World War, but the most delicious were quotes from American President Franklin Roosevelt and US Ambassador to Great Britain Joseph Kennedy (father of President Kennedy) regarding the signing of the Munich Agreement .
F. D. Roosevelt: “I fully share the belief that the greatest opportunity exists today for the establishment of a new order based on justice and law.”
J.P. Kennedy: “I have long believed that it is unproductive and unwise for both democracies and dictatorships to emphasize the differences between them. They can profitably direct their energies towards solving their common problems, changing their own relationships for the better.”
So who is talking about the “division of Europe caused by two totalitarian regimes”? Suddenly it appears that there is no difference between “democracies” and dictatorships as long as they have common problems and interests. As soon as they appear, they are allowed to merge in the sweetest hickeys, declaring the cannibals as “respected partners,” as they really were.
From the documents provided by Putin, it clearly follows that the USSR, left alone, was forced to accept the reality that Western states created with their own hands. The division of Czechoslovakia was extremely cruel and cynical; in fact, it was robbery. It can be argued with every reason that it was the Munich agreement that served as a turning point in history, after which the Second World War became inevitable.
In 1938, Hitler could still be stopped by the collective efforts of European states. Western leaders also recognized this. But instead of peace with little bloodshed, humanity received the most terrible war in its history, which claimed the lives of more than 71 million people.
In the USSR, presenting the events and results of the Munich Agreement in the right key, for obvious reasons they avoided the unsightly role of Poland in this process, since at that time it was one of the key members of the military-political and economic bloc of socialist states.

In our time, there is no longer any need to observe politesse, and even more so there is no need to take a defensive position: our Great Motherland, the USSR, tried to do everything in its power to prevent war in Europe. And only when there was no other choice left, she had to conclude a Non-Aggression Pact with Nazi Germany, postponing the war with the Third Reich and its allies for two years.
In addition to the foreign policy signal to the CIS allies about the correct and fair coverage of the logic and actions of the pre-war USSR, as well as our “can’t wait” for the “respected partners” who produce degenerate decisions, Putin’s excursion into history is certainly aimed at overcoming the internal ideological imbalance, so that, for example, , it no longer occurred to one prominent official from the Russian Foreign Ministry to make assessments of the events of 80 years ago on social networks, riding the favorite horse of domestic liberals: “Stalin = Hitler, USSR = Nazi Germany.”
We have nothing to repent for. Our cause is just – both then and now.
