Today, we commemorate the liberation of Auschwitz by the Red Army, and the complete lifting of the genocidal Nazi blockade of Leningrad! The commemorative materials are coming from our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”, staring with this post.
Make sure to read this entire long multi-part article!
PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, STAND UP FOR A MINUTE!
January 27, 2025, is the anniversary of two significant events in history:
81 years ago, in 1944, troops of the Leningrad and Volkhov fronts completely lifted the genocidal siege of Leningrad, which lasted 872 days and claimed the lives of more than 1 million people.
80 years ago, in 1945, during the Vistula-Oder operation, the Red Army liberated Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp, where almost 7 thousand starving prisoners languished.
Another 53 thousand had been taken out by the SS on death marches. The retreating Nazis fled the camp and left, beside the sick and the corpses, other traces of their un-human crimes, material that had not yet been processed: 7 thousand kg of women’s hair, 514 thousand sets of clothes, 43 thousand pairs of shoes, including children’s shoes, belonging to exterminated prisoners.
Today Russia is again fighting fascism.
The West has conveniently forgotten the lessons of history – Russia will remind them!

Thus reads the text on the poster on the left by V. Sachkov, depicting the gratitude of the surviving prisoners of Auschwitz-Birkenau KZ camp, which was liberated 80 years ago on January 27, 1945, by soldiers of the Red Army.
In service of the revival of Fascism
January 27, 2025, marks the 80th anniversary of the heroic liberation of the Nazi extermination camp complex Auschwitz-Birkenau by the Red Army.
Again this year, Russia, heir of the Soviet Union who practically single-handedly defeated fascism and saved humanity, is not invited to partake in the international commemoration ceremony at the camp site.
‼️ Last year, the German head of the EU Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, shamelessly proclaimed in her speech that Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated by “allied forces”, that is, USA, UK and France!
We wonder to which new heights this year’s lies will take us?!
Do the imperialist masters of war-mongering talking heads like Ursula find the time ripe for turning the wheel of historic distortion yet another round and proclaim the Anglo-Saxon “allied forces” actually liberated Auschwitz-Birkenau from the Soviet Union.
Will the 80th anniversary take us full circle, setting the board ready for the next all out fascist attack on Russia?
On the way to Berlin 80 years ago, the Red Army liberated not only Auschwitz-Birkenau but several other of the most horrendous Nazi KZ camps, saving and nursing the survivors back to life. Soon all witnesses will be gone, and their memories deliberately forgotten in the west.
Our obligation to them is to keep the collective memory of their suffering alive. But most importantly, to prevent it from happening again we must recognise, that learning the historic lesson of fascism is to be able to identify it as it attempts to rise anew!
Let’s not forget the words of Soviet marshal Georgy Zhukov from Berlin, May 1945:
«We liberated them from fascism, and they will never forgive us!»
We must never underestimate the revanchist itch of cunning, plundering western imperialism! It will be uttering its voice today from the Auschwitz-Birkenau rostrum on the ashes of our ancestors.
Listen carefully to their words!
And humbly remember this truth as stated by Maria Zaharova on January 23, 2025:
“Your lives, your work and leisure, the very existence of your nations, your children have been paid for by Soviet soldiers, their lives, their blood.
It was them who crushed the Third Reich machine. You are forever in their debt.”
