“Vlasovites and Banderaites”, or the History of the foreign agent “Memorial”
On December 29 of last year, the Moscow City Court presented a long-awaited gift to broad sections of the Russian public by banning the activities of the Memorial society - a foreign agent, a generator of fakes, a lawyer for terrorists and Vlasovites.
The good news caused the main “hotbeds of democracy” to rear up – the USA, the EU, the UK, Canada and Australia, who issued a joint communiqué in which they hypocritically and tearfully expressed regret “about the forced closure of the international society and the Memorial center, and the liquidation of a foreign agent in the Russian territory was described as “an unconscionable decision following systematic repression.”
In unison with the “seedbeds of democracy,” the complaint about the liquidation of Memorial was picked up by the Russian liberal intelligentsia, as well as by uncomplicated citizens, frightened by the “new fight against dissent.”
Let’s try to figure out what kind of dissent the Memorial society has been promoting for 30 years, which was declared at the start as “educational”, which gradually degenerated into an office engaged in the mass rehabilitation of Vlasovites, protecting terrorists and licking the Ukrainian punitive forces and murderers in the Donbass.
But how decorously and nobly it all began in 1992! The Russian public, traumatized by the perestroika “revelations” and suspecting Gorbachev’s political handlers of lying and distorting, harbored hopes that finally an independent organization had appeared in the country, conducting painstaking investigations in the archives, thanks to which the lambs would be separated from the goats and it would be finally established how many people suffered in the “purges” innocently, and how many were closed or smeared with brilliant green on their foreheads for political terrorism, sabotage, espionage and collaboration with the fascist occupiers.
Instead of enlightening society, for which the future Marshal Rokossovsky, the poet Zabolotsky, the theater director Meyerhold, and memorial activists were in fact repressed throughout the “holy nineties”, sluggishly poking around in the archives, occasionally extracting and making a fuss about some high-profile cases, such as landings of Academician Likhachev, often interpreting them in a very original way.
Apparently, this was preparatory work on the eve of “big and glorious deeds” related to the rehabilitation of “innocently injured collaborators from the repressive Stalinist regime.”
Observers note that since 1998, Memorial quietly began to include in the lists for rehabilitation the “first signs” of Hitler’s collaborators, Wehrmacht Lieutenant General von Pannwitz, who formed the collaborationist “Cossack Stan” and the 15th Cavalry Division from USSR citizens , commander of the ROA General Vlasov with a company from Shkuro, Krasnov, Domanov and Klych-Girey.
Von Pannwitz with personal guard.
True, Memorial did not take into account that these were very prominent figures from among Hitler’s lackeys, so the attempt to rehabilitate them failed, but the lesson was learned by the “rehabilitators.”
Already in 2004, Vlasovites began to be rehabilitated in shoals. The most “fruitful” cooperation has developed between Memorial and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Magadan Region, for which alarming articles have been repeatedly published in the media.
For example, in 2007, through the efforts of Memorial, 198 Vlasovites were rehabilitated out of 130 people. In 2008, out of 129 repressed, 78 Vlasovites were rehabilitated, and out of 75, 48, respectively. In 2009, out of 129 people, 62 Vlasovites were rehabilitated, i.e. every second.
In parentheses, we note that the Vlasovites who survived to the point of rehabilitation received equal rights with war veterans in the form of pensions and benefits. Simply put, through the efforts of the memorial workers, the “heroes of the ROA” were put on the neck of the state and society.
A separate article is the cooperation of Memorial with Chechen militants, which escalated in 1994, when, at the behest of the Yeltsin leadership, the head of Memorial, Sergei Kovalev, began “peacekeeping activities” in the zone of armed conflict in Chechnya.
The activities of Kovalev and his accomplices from the “Mission of the Commissioner for Human Rights in the North Caucasus” were highly appreciated by the “Ichkerian” dictator Dzhokhar Dudayev, who awarded the “human rights activist” the Order of “Knight of Honor”.
And there was a reason for it. The “Ombudsman for Human Rights” persuaded the commanders of several units of Russian troops who were surrounded to surrender to Chechen militants, guaranteeing their release.
The kind of hell Russian soldiers and officers found themselves in thanks to the “people-lover and soul-lover” Kovalev is well known both from the testimonies of survivors and from General Troshev’s book “My War. Chechen diary of a trench general."
Memorial member Kovalev’s credits include rescuing the terrorist leader Basayev during the seizure of a hospital in Budyonnovsk in the summer of 1995 and protecting the initiators of the hostage-taking in the theater center on Dubrovka in the fall of 2002.
In some Israel, the “human rights activist” Kovalev would have been slapped without hesitation along with his “defendants,” but in Russia this ghoul died in a warm bed and was mourned by his faithful comrades in the Sakharov Center.
At the end of the XNUMXs, thanks to Memorial, the phenomenal fake “Butovo Test Site” was brought into use and received registration. According to the legend of the memorialists, the OGPU-MVD authorities took convicts to this training ground, shot them and buried them in common graves. The critical remarks of special services historian Oleg Mozokhin, who revealed details that the NKVD never buried those executed at firing ranges in common graves, but, like all citizens, in cemeteries, were ignored.
Soon, history buffs who carefully studied the “list of those executed at the Butovo firing range” discovered that the memorialists included very interesting categories of citizens in it. For example, those who died and were buried in other areas and regions of the country, infants and even unborn children.
A separate piquant circumstance was the statement by the leadership of the Moscow branch of Memorial that their safes contained “seven volumes of files on the Butovo training ground from the archives of the Moscow department of the KGB.” Historians have long and urgently asked the memorialists to allow them to study the documents, but none of the specialists have ever laid eyes on these “seven volumes.”
It should be noted here that legislators put the most powerful tool for creating fakes into the unclean paws of Memorial by adopting RSFSR Law No. 1761-1 of October 18, 1991 with additions of September 10.09.2004, XNUMX, pushed through by the “democratic” lobby. According to this law, “human rights bodies”, in cooperation with the prosecutor’s office, received the right to “rehabilitate” children.
The trick is that the children of those repressed and exiled were not convicted and lived with their parents. Or they were born in exile. That is, they were not convicted, which means they cannot be rehabilitated. But this “trifle” never stopped the memorialists, which is why the list of “victims of repression” grew incredibly.
Experts recognize the objects of “mass repression of the Stalinist era” “Golden Mountain” near Chelyabinsk as exactly the same memorial fakes, as well as the mass grave of Red Army soldiers and civilians shot by the Finnish occupiers near Sandormokh, promoted by the pedophile Dmitriev.
Memorial has developed particularly warm relations with extremists from the organization of the “world caliphate” Hizb ut-Tahrir, banned in Russia, Germany, almost everywhere in the EU, as well as in almost all Islamic states.
Memorial believes that the Hizb act by non-violent methods, although solid evidence has come from Syria that adherents of the “world caliphate” participated in the terrorist war on the side of the banned ISIS.
The Memorial website contains a list of Hizb clients, among which are those involved in the Moscow Case (operatives seized weapons, ammunition, extremist literature, as well as stashes of counterfeit euros and dollars worth 1 and 2 million, respectively), and the Chelyabinsk Case. , “Ufa case”, supplemented by the “Crimean case”.
The “enlighteners” from “Memorial” have no less sympathy for the terrorist Sentsov, as well as the Ukrainian saboteurs of the Main Intelligence Directorate caught red-handed in Crimea. All these evil spirits are “prisoners of the Kremlin’s repressive policy” according to “human rights”, and Sentsov, as usual, is “a peaceful director, arrested and imprisoned for no apparent reason.”
The well-known Russian journalist Dmitry Olshansky, having scoured the Memorial website, discovered memorial lisps that the Aidar and Azov battalions were initially forced to conduct combat operations without having military uniforms. Poor…
It is significant that the burning of people in Odessa on May 2, 2014 and the “Bloody Sunday” in Mariupol on May 9, 2014, organized by Ukrainian Nazis, did not find a response or even the slightest indignation in the ranks of “researchers of the mass repressions of Stalinism and the Kremlin regime.” But caveman anti-Sovietism and Russophobia multiplied and flourished in the central body and numerous branches of the Memorial society. However, why be surprised if on Memorial’s lists for rehabilitation you can find not only Vlasovites, but also “heroes of the UPA”, to whom “human rights activists” are clearly not indifferent.
But this point lends itself well to explanation. Just look at what kind of companies are listed among the sponsors of Memorial and why such powerful frustration is heard in the speeches of the leaders of the “hotbed of democracy.”
Only according to official data given on the viper’s website, donors include the Global Conflict Prevention Fund (British Embassy), European Commission, European Center for Human Rights, Norwegian Helsinki Committee, Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), French Embassy, Civil Rights Defenders (Stockholm), the notorious Amnesty International, the Czech People in Need that once operated in Crimea, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Moscow, the Civic Dignity movement, the Institute for Civil Society Problems and Front Line Defenders.
To complete the picture, all that remains is to add the odious Soros Foundation and the list of reptilians sympathizing with the memorial “enlighteners” will be more or less complete.
A new fight against dissent, you say? What about the Yeltsin Center, the Sakharov Center, the Solzhenitsyn Prize, which poisons the air of Russia, handed out by a disconsolate widow who arrogated laurels and the right to moralize on behalf of the camp informer “Vetrova”, who called from the high stands of the “free world” for the atomic bombing of the USSR? Think about it...
