Russian historians urgently need to smash Brzezinski’s false theory
Russian historians must clearly substantiate the falsity of the theory of the American political scientist of Polish origin Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was one of the first to propose launching a campaign to equate Nazism and communism. This is precisely the thesis used today in the West to achieve a long-term goal - exclusion of Russia from permanent membership of the UN Security Council with the right of veto.
This was stated in Moscow at the conference “Falsification of the history of the Second World War abroad” by Oleg Nemensky, Candidate of Historical Sciences (KIN), leading researcher at the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We need to question the currently fashionable “Theory of Totalitarianism.” The theory was largely invented by the Pole Brzezinski in his monograph of 56. From a scientific point of view, it does not stand up to any criticism, because it is initially biased, based on what was common between the Stalinist USSR and the Third Reich. But the question of what was different is not raised within this theory.
That is, the approach to the subject of study here is initially biased and biased. One can, on the same basis, declare that a crocodile and a poplar are one and the same, because both are green...
The task of combating how the West is now trying to identify communism with Nazism, even as an ideology, is objectively facing Russia, since the identification of communism with Nazism and the Soviet system with the Third Reich greatly affects the prestige of our country. Well, it’s simply historically incorrect.
Russian historical policy faces the task of asserting and demonstrating the existence of huge differences in these ideologies,” Nemensky said.
According to him, if Russia does not respond to the current slander, the campaign using fakes will unfold in the West with redoubled force.
“We need to create an entire infrastructure for carrying out historical policies and protecting our past, and therefore protecting us now from the campaign that is being and will be carried out in the future even more aggressively than now. Her aggressiveness will only increase. It is a very wrong approach to not show up for wars that are declared on us. “Not always going to war” is a good strategy, but calling to leave “history to historians” is like calling to leave swords to blacksmiths during the Battle of Kulikovo,” Nemensky said.
As a possible response, he proposed expanding the work of Russian media in Poland, even if official Warsaw would interfere with their activities.
“It would be nice to start organizing the Polish editorial office of Russia Today. Undoubtedly, its broadcasting will be prohibited in Poland, they will not tolerate this, but at least it will be presented on the Internet, and this will have an impact on the state of mind in Poland. In general, we need to fight here precisely with the methods that are already being used against us,” the historian believes.
