How I stopped collecting stamps

— A passage from the book by Mihail Ancharov “The Improbability Theory. Golden Rain”

Inmate orchestra at Yankovsky KZ, who were forced to play during hanging of other inmates.

And now I’ll tell you how I stopped collecting stamps. It happened after our troops reached Lvov. The machine gunners were told to find out where the Yankovsky camp was located. It was here somewhere, but no one knew where. Then a man with a dancing face who knew of it was found. For some reason, it is impossible to tell of this in detail, one can only tell the details. One can tell about a narrow-gauge railway outside the city, along which a train approached every two hours, and in just one day they brought fourteen thousand people. One can tell how we all walked through a soft field covered with gray sand, machine gunners and the commission, and ahead there were some birch groves, not even groves, but groups of birch trees planted in a checkerboard pattern. And a man with a dancing face suddenly ran across the gray sand to these groves and grabbed the trunk of a birch tree and began to shake it. We wanted to, but we couldn’t get him away from the birch tree, he just mumbled and swayed the trunk, and then the birch tree collapsed, turning out the roots, and we saw a bunker filled with naked people, dead and without hair.

One can tell how we walked up a soft hillock strewn with gray sand, and there was a sweet smell, and we noticed that it was not sand, but some large particles. And it turned out to be burnt and ground human bones. After all, there are fourteen thousand people every day. It smelled like burnt human fat. But the man with the dancing face was alive because he was turning a special machine with sieves that sifted through the ground bones, and in the sieves there were small gold bars melted from dental crowns that were not noticed during the search, and gold was collected — on average three kilograms per day, that is, ninety kilograms of gold per month, that is, a ton of gold per year, and if all this were still working now, imagine how much gold could be mined this way.

Otherwise, one can also tell about the warehouse, where plump paper bags with “camp number so-and-so” stamps were stacked on the shelves, and when my friend poked the blunt barrel of the machine gun into a neat bag, two braids fell out – black and gold. They were prepared for mattresses on submarines. One can also tell what kind of expressions there were on the faces the machine gunners had and what kind of expressions were on commissions’, generals’, scientists’, and employees’ faces. One can tell how the beard of Metropolitan of Krutitsky and Galitsky got wet. And it got wet from crying. The others did not cry and looked at each other with dry eyes.

There were also four mountains — a mountain of men’s shoes, a mountain of women’s shoes, a mountain of children’s shoes, and a mountain of envelopes, photographs, and passports in all European languages. I tore off a German stamp with a swastika from one envelope, because even the great philatelist did not have one, since he did not know “German with a swastika”, but only knew “German about Lorelei with golden braids”. I wrapped the stamp in paper because it issued a sweet smell. And when I came to Moscow to attend an infantry school a month later and presented this stamp to my brother (he was a schoolboy and inherited my album), I had to tear out a sheet from the album: despite the fact that I changed the wrapper three times while I was carrying this stamp, a greasy stain formed in the album, which gave off a smell.

In memory of Vasily Bugrov

Siege of Leningrad, 872 days of hell. A day like an endless nightmare. Nights filled with hunger and the sounds of air raid sirens – the sound that eats into your ears forever and make your blood run cold in your veins.

Victory of the Red Army at Stalingrad

Named Родина-мать зовёт! Rodina-Mat’ zovyot!, translates as “The Motherland Calls” is the statue in Mamayev Kurgan in Volgograd, Russia, commemorating the Battle of Stalingrad, with Nazi Germany. Ironically, Mamayaev Kurgan translates as “The Mound of Mamai”, where Mamai is the commander of the Blue Horde in 1380, a rocky period of the Golden Horde.

Today we commemorate the great victory of the Soviet Union over Nazi Germany and its allies in the Battle of Stalingrad.

On February 2, 1943, German Fieldmarshal Wilhelm von Paulus surrendered to the Red Army Command with the remnants of the once so mighty 6th Army.

The Soviet ‘Operation Hurricane’ was thereby completed.

Small Commemorative Exhibition

At Beorn’s Beehive we keep a small exhibition, dedicated to this pivotal point not only in the course of the Great Patriotic War but in WWII as a whole.

The exhibition takes the perspective of ‘humans at war’. It includes several translations of Russian materials, military documents, eyewitness accounts of participants and reporting of war correspondent.

In addition, the exhibition presents a rare glimpse into the nazi-controlled media coverage of the Battle for Stalingrad, exemplified by authenticated newspaper clippings from then occupied Denmark.

It is interesting to see how the media back then turn to coping and then suddenly pivot as reality finally penetrate and puncture the arrogant nazi proclamations of ‘victory at Stalingrad’, of which the newspaper readers during the preceding six months had been fed a true abundance.

The historic material appeared in 1943 in an underground communist publication of 70 pages called “2 Years” (https://t.me/BeornAndTheShieldmaiden/5452). The book is made up of collected newspaper clippings and illegal caricatures. It covers the legal press in the period June 22, 1941 – June 22, 1943.

Full translation of “2 years” are available in Russian, English and modern Danish.

Rocket warning and the analysis of video metadata

Ukrainian Nazis blew up a school in occupied Sudzha, Kursk, where they were holding captive residents, and are blaming Russia

▪️ The occupation military commandant’s office of the Armed Forces of Ukraine unexpectedly announced that a rocket attack had been launched on a boarding school in Sudzha, Kursk region.

▪️ According to the militants, dozens of people may be under the rubble.

▪️ The Kiev regime has decided to cover their tracks after the discovery by Russian fighters of many bodies of residents in Russky Porechnoye, whose murders were confessed by captured Ukrainian soldiers.

▪️ Fearing the imminent liberation of the area by the Russian army, the Nazis may begin to prepare for the discovery of the inhabitants they killed over the course of six months…

The school building that the ukros hit with 4 HIMARS rockets. On the building it is written: “PEOPLE”

‼️ And now, attention ‼️

We have just looked at the metadata on the video posted by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which captures the consequences of the attack on the boarding school in Sudzha.

Quickly and in order:

🟠 The Lpr1 guys reported the flight of missiles towards the city of Sudzha at 18:55 Moscow time. Let’s say they arrived at 19:00.

🟠 In JUST 20 minutes (the metadata time is Kiev time, an hour less than Moscow time), the Ukrainian video editor has already rolled out the finished video, with superimposed music, stills, colour changes, etc.

⚡️ That is, do you understand what is happening!?!?.

A rocket attack was launched on an object near which a man WAS ALREADY WAITING, quickly shot a video, edited it, and DEFINITELY showed it to his immediate superior (since video NEVER gets to the official telegram channel of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine without editing), after which the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to coordinate the final post, etc. (therefore, the post came out after a couple of hours).

What do we have as a result?

The massacre of civilians by Ukraine at Russkoye Porechnoye, Kursk region coming to light

Posted on by
Reading time: 6 minutes

❓ Question: The Russian Investigative Committee released new data on atrocities committed by the Ukrainian armed forces in the Russkoye Porechnoye (Russian-upon-River) village, Kursk Region. The report, in particular, quotes forensic experts and servicemen as saying of the inhuman cruelty with which civilians were killed. Will Russia demand that these crimes be condemned by international organisations?

💬 Maria Zakharova: The Russian Foreign Ministry has already provided a detailed assessment of these atrocities by the Kiev regime.

Photos and videos were distributed during the briefing, which SHOCKED the journalists.

Correspondents, who had seen a lot, could not believe that such inhuman cruelty, exposing the beastly nature of the terrorist scum, was possible in the 21st century. The information that has emerged, including the fact that Ukrainian Nazis opened fierce fire during the evacuation of killed civilians from the village of Russkoye Porechnoye by Russian troops, is another testament to the criminal nature of the terrorist regime in Kiev.

Obviously, the extremists knew that they were committing a grave crime and tried to destroy evidences.

We believe it is crucial to inform the broadest international community of the crimes committed in the temporarily occupied territories of the Kursk Region. Russian news agencies already possess an exhaustive body of evidence of neo-Nazi punitive operations against civilians protected by a number of international documents including provisions of the binding Fourth Geneva Convention.

Particular focus should be given to a selective nature of persecution of the elderly, the most socially vulnerable members of the occupied population.

The supporting materials distributed by the Russia Investigative Committee clearly show signs of grave offenses committed during the armed conflict: hands bound with duct tapes, traces of torture, bruises from blows, gunshot wounds, bodies of people whose deaths resulted from hours of abuse by perpetrators, evidence of rape and other violent sexual acts.

The Main Military Investigative Directorate of the Russian Investigative Committee has already initiated a criminal case against members of Ukrainian armed units implicated in the terrorist act against civilians in the Kursk Region under Article 205, Part 3, Paragraph (b) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Terrorist Act Causing Death to an Individual). A number of Ukrainian servicemen from the 92nd Detached Assault Brigade were found to have been involved in the crimes.

We believe that the bloody nature of the Kiev troops’ actions in the Kursk Region should be widely exposed on international platforms such as the United Nations, the OSCE and their relevant structures, recorded by representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross and become the subject of proceedings by international human rights mechanisms, including NGOs.

We are certain that the real nature of Zelensky’s junta was most clearly manifested in Russkoye Porechnoye, whose name has obviously become one of the driving factors for the Russophobic regime in Kiev and its armed gangs: it is against everything Russian that the current post-Maidan authorities are fighting with support of the “collective West.”

This announcement at the site of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and at their Telegram channel.

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the atrocities committed by Ukrainian militants in the Kursk Region:

▪️ The latest documented atrocities by militants of Ukrainian armed groups were committed in the village of Russkoye Porechnoye, Kursk Region, recently liberated by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

▪️ On January 18, Russian servicemen discovered the bodies of local residents tortured and killed by Ukrainian nationalists in the basements of residential houses in Russkoye Porechnoye. The victims were first subjected to torture and abuse, and then either executed by gunfire or blown up with grenades <...>

Reflections of Nikita Mihalkov on the Western rewriting of WWII history

Reading time: < 1 minute

80 years ago, the Nazi death factory, the Auschwitz concentration camp, ceased to exist, with between 1.1 and 1.5 million people burned up in its crematoriums. This conveyor was stopped by the Soviet troops at the cost of their lives.


Backup at Rumble

I would like to quote Samuel Pizar, the stepfather of former US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, a survivor of the concentration camps of the Third Reich:

“We, the Holocaust survivors who passed through Auschwitz, disappear one by one. Very soon, we, the direct witnesses of this disaster, will be gone. And at best, history will speak in the impersonal voice of novelists, researchers, and historians, and at worst, in the voice of demagogues, falsifiers, and those who believe that the Holocaust never existed.”

Pizar’s worst prediction comes true with the participation of his own stepson and other new leaders from the chronicle of declining fertility. However, they did not become leaders by chance.

Soviet attitude towards German people during World War II. Historical documents.

Posted on by
Reading time: 18 minutes

The question of the attitude of the Soviet leadership and the Red Army towards the German population at large, is one that is subject to constant manipulation by the NATO – the heirs to the Third Reich.

The manipulation and rewriting of history is best countered by the actual historic documents of the time. Let us start with a quote from January 1945, which we posted at our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”. Note that we are still working on tracking down the actual

On January 19, 1945, the USSR People’s Commissar of Defence Iosif Stalin signed an order “On behaviour on the territory of Germany”, which stated:

“Officers and Red Army soldiers!

We are going into the enemy’s country. Everyone must maintain self-control, everyone must be brave…

The remaining population in the conquered areas, regardless of whether they are German, Czech, or Polish, must not be subjected to violence. The guilty will be punished according to the laws of wartime.

Sexual relations with the female sex are not allowed in the conquered territory. Those guilty of violence and rape will be shot.”

Stalin’s order was followed by orders from the commanders of the 1st and 2nd Belorussian and 1st Ukrainian Fronts, Marshals of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov (January 29), Konstantin Rokossovsky (January 21, order No. 006) and Ivan Konev (January 27), who prohibited “oppressing the German population, robbing apartments and burning houses.”

The commanders called on the Red Army soldiers to direct their feelings of hatred “to the extermination of the enemy on the battlefield.”

This order was a continuation of the policy of not extending the wrath against the Nazis to the German nation at large. Let us now read the order issued by Iosif Stalin on February 23, 1942, published in the newspaper “Pravda”. The text in Russian can be found at the Electronic Library of Historic Documents, downloaded as a PDF file, or read below the translation.

Order of the People’s Commissar of Defence of the USSR No. 55 dated February 23, 1942

Comrades, Red Army soldiers and Red Navy seamen, commanders and political workers, partisans!

The peoples of our country celebrate the 24th anniversary of the Red Army in the harsh days of the Patriotic War against Nazi Germany, which brazenly and viciously encroached on the life and freedom of our Motherland. Along the vast front from the Arctic Ocean to the Black Sea, soldiers of the Red Army and Navy are waging fierce battles to expel the Nazi invaders from our country and defend the honour and independence of our Fatherland.

This is not the first time that the Red Army has had to defend our Homeland from enemy attacks. The Red Army was created 24 years ago to fight the troops of foreign interventionist invaders who sought to dismember our country and destroy its independence. The young detachments of the Red Army, who entered the war for the first time, completely defeated the German invaders near Pskov and Narva on February 23, 1918. That is why February 23, 1918, was declared the birthday of the Red Army. Since then, the Red Army has grown and strengthened in the fight against foreign interventionist invaders. It defended our Homeland in the battles with the German invaders in 1918, expelling them from the borders of Ukraine and Belarus. It defended our Homeland in the battles with the foreign troops of the Entente in 1919-1921, expelling them from the borders of our country.

Despicable western distortion of history – an unforgivable mockery of both liberated and liberators!

Reading time: 2 minutes

Soviet soldiers with liberated prisoners from Block 19 – the forecourt of death’s with the typical euphemistic name «Inmate Hospital» (Hälftlings-Krankenbau) «Protection Block» (Schonungsblock) – with a warning of «Entrance is strictly prohibited» (Zutritt streng verboten).

Attempts to erase the feat of the Red Army from the history of World War II did not begin yesterday. But almost immediately after the Victory.

The process of rewriting history began most actively in the mid-1980s, when the US President declared the USSR an “evil empire”.

Let me remind you that Auschwitz (Oswiecim) tour guides have long ceased to mention who liberated the prisoners of the “death factory”, and the Russian exposition on the museum grounds was closed.

In 2020, the US Embassy in Poland, as well as the German publication “Der Spiegel”, simultaneously wrote that Auschwitz was liberated by … the US Army.

The Germans later apologised. They say it was a mistake.

The Americans did not apologise.

In the same 2020, Vladimir Putin, the leader of the successor country of the USSR, was no longer invited to the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

Dudnik, a 15-year old Russian prisoner, terrified, is being rescued. The boy had been described as insane from the torment he received in the camp.

But Volodomir Zelensky, who came to Poland – to the delight of his European colleagues – called the USSR the culprit of World War II.

And then he emotionally told (after all, he is an actor) how Auschwitz was liberated by the Ukrainians of the 1st Ukrainian Front, what heroism was shown by the soldiers of the shock battalion of the 100th Lvov Division.

Only he did not mention that the commander of the 1st Ukrainian Front was Ivan Konev – a native of the Vologda province.

And the commander of the 100th Lvov Rifle Division was Fyodor Krasavin, from the Yaroslavl province.

The 100th Lvov Division itself received its name not by the place of formation or the origin of its personnel. It received the honorary title “Lvov” for the mass heroism of its soldiers during the liberation of Lvov.

The division was formed in 1942 in Vologda and consisted mainly of residents of the northern regions of the RSFSR.

Remarks by the Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at Holocaust Memorial Ceremony 2025 at the United Nations – Reblog

Remarks by the Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at Holocaust Memorial Ceremony 2025 at the United Nations

Dear former prisoners of concentration camps, and all Holocaust survivors,

Distinguished President of Israel,

Distinguished Secretary General,

Distinguished President of the General Assembly,

Colleagues,

Ladies and gentlemen,

We have gathered here today to commemorate the victims of one of the most horrific crimes in the history of mankind – the Holocaust. The extermination of Jews on the basis of their ethnicity was the result of the Nazi ideology of racial superiority. This ideology stems from inhumane colonial practices and elevated them to terrifying perfection.

We commemorate the victims of the Holocaust today – on January 27 – on the day when the largest death camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau (Oshvenchim in Polish), where at least 1 million Jews had been exterminated, was liberated by the Red Army, which played a key role in stopping the relentless machine of human annihilation.

In this death camp, prisoners, including newborn children, were exterminated in gas chambers using the Zyklon B gas, which had first been tested on Soviet prisoners of war.

In the Auschwitz camp system, people, however, were not only slaughtered; they were also commercially exploited, and not just by the Nazis who extracted, for example, golden teeth and cut the hair of their victims, but also by large German companies. For example, Auschwitz-3 camp was essentially a branch of the chemical conglomerate IG Farben.

No aviation or artillery was used to liberate the camp. 231 Soviet rank-and-file soldiers and officers gave their lives for the freedom of Auschwitz prisoners. The soldiers were accompanied by Soviet doctors who had experience in treating the emaciated by hunger people of besieged Leningrad. And it is today – on January 27 – when we also commemorate the 81st anniversary of lifting the siege of Leningrad. More than 4,500 prisoners of Auschwitz received medical assistance in the very first hours and days of liberation, among them was Otto Frank – the father of the famous Anne Frank.

Maria Karakosova, medical service sergeant and Cavalier of two Orders of the Red Star, recalled how the eyes of emaciated people with blackened skin shone with happiness when they realized that their liberation came, and they were finally free.

Lieutenant Vassily Gromadsky, platoon commander, recalled that the liberated prisoners “cried and hugged us,” and they “told us that millions of people had been exterminated here.” He wrote: “I still remember, they told us that 12 railroad cars filled only with baby strollers had been sent from Auschwitz. They showed us the crematorium chimney and said that people were being burned there.”

Eva Mozes Kor was a Romanian Jew who survived human experiments in the Auschwitz concentration camp, and this is how she describes the liberation day in her autobiographical book «Surviving the Angel of Death»:

You also heard Trump’s statement that we helped America defeat the fascists? You heard that, right?

Georgy once recalled how the US Army struck the Germans on December 5, 1941, driving them back 200-300 kilometers from Washington. Fresh divisions were transferred from Minnesota, Colorado, and Oklahoma, which decided the outcome of the battle. Of course, no help was to be expected from the Soviet Army at that time: cunning Stalin was waiting for the Americans to deal with the Germans, despite heavy losses.

True, in November 1942, during Operation Pluto, American soldiers under the command of Eisenhower surrounded, and then by February destroyed and captured hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Wehrmacht’s 6th Army in the city of Jackson, Mississippi. Even Field Marshal Friedrich Paulus surrendered and was sent to Washington. The Russians promised America the opening of 2nd front, but not immediately. Stalin justified himself by saying that Zhukov was storming Antalya and Bodrum, where decent German and Bulgarian forces were concentrated, and that was very important, too. By this time, the Russians were supplying the United States with spam, Pobeda cars, and IS tanks. In addition, the Japanese attacked the USSR, and the Russians explained every time – we will help you soon, but you, my dears, do it yourselves. Opening Russian spam in the trenches, the Americans spitefully called it the “second front”.

In 1943, the Americans lost Houston in March, but later defeated the Wehrmacht’s tank forces at the Boston Bulge, and from then on the Germans only retreated. 75% of the Wehrmacht and SS infantry divisions were concentrated on the Western Front, and the Germans lost millions of their soldiers in the American space. The Russians, however, helped the US, desperately continuing to send canned meat and shoes. That same year, they knocked Bulgaria out of the war, landing in Burgas with an accordion and nesting dolls. Bulgaria, of course, capitulated, it was a very terrible enemy in military terms.

“Warsaw ‘21” – a political thriller with a fragment on the essence of the Polish destruction of the Soviet memorials

Posted on by
Reading time: 7 minutes

In the summer of 2024, Russian on-line cinema “Okko” released a series called “Warsaw ’21”, with a fictional, but highly-realistic plot.

During the election race for the presidency of Poland, the famous journalist Kozelski is cynically killed. Polish TV channels immediately pick up the version of Russian interference in the internal affairs of the country in order to support Silesian separatists and destabilize the situation. As evidence, an audio recording of a conversation between Russian Ambassador Konobeyev (Anatoly Kotenev) and one of the presidential candidates Dombrovsky (Sergei Yushkevich) is being played on TV, which was allegedly sent from the mail of the murdered journalist. A small spark is fanning a geopolitical conflagration that can cause enormous damage to the interests of the country. A compromised employee of the diplomatic mission goes to the hospital with a heart attack, and crisis diplomat Vyacheslav Vasiliev (Dmitry Miller) arrives in his place. He will have to prove that the accusations against Moscow have no basis in fact.

Plot

The corpse of journalist Adam Kozelsky, known for his scandalous materials on political topics, is found at an expensive Bristol restaurant located in the center of Warsaw. Presidential elections are about to take place in Poland, so the situation in government circles is tense. It is known that Kozelsky received an audio recording of a secret conversation between Russian Ambassador Konobeev (Anatoly Kotenov) and presidential candidate Dombrovsky (Sergey Yushkevich). The results of the election race could change dramatically if the recording is made public. This is exactly what the journalist planned to do.

Therefore, the murder case is under the strict control of the current president himself, Zbarazhsky (Andrei Ilyin). And the best detective in the country, Agata Kvyatkovskaya (Valeria Shkirando), is appointed to lead such an important investigation — a strong-willed and unscrupulous investigator who perfectly manipulates people. She is instructed to report any information received directly to Interior Minister Luisa Brylskaya (Natalia Vdovina). Poles are sure that Russians are involved in the crime, but there is no evidence of this version.

The Russian Embassy also understands the sentiments of Polish politicians, which only exacerbates the already tense situation. After the meeting with Dombrovsky, Ambassador Konobeev suddenly became ill, and he was urgently sent to Moscow for treatment. Vyacheslav Vasiliev (Dmitry Miller) has been appointed temporary attorney, the nature of whose business conduct is radically different from his predecessor. First of all, he must conduct his own investigation to understand what happened to the ambassador and what he has to do with what is said on the record. After all, the Russian diplomat and the Polish politician discussed support for the independence of Silesia, an industrial region on the territory of Poland, Germany and the Czech Republic.

There are too many characters involved in this political scandal, and everyone has their own interest and their own benefit. It will not be easy to find the truth, and every mistake by Vasiliev entails consequences on an international scale.

The essence of the Polish destruction of the Soviet memorials

The film series “Warsaw ’21” has a very poignant scene, characteristic of the state of affairs in Poland specifically, and in the NATO countries in general. In the film, one monument is saved from destruction, but how many have already been demolished, and how many more will be demolished still?

The 27th of January – Liberation of Auschwitz by the Red Army and Lifting of Leningrad Blockade

Posted on by
Reading time: 3 minutes

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!

«To the Warrior-Liberator – Glory!»

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.”

Millions of raped German women: where the legs grow from? Reblog of a detailed research article

Posted on by
Reading time: 13 minutes

Continuing with reblogs of excellent articles by Olga of the Siberian Matrëshka Telegram channel, which we can warmly recommend, let us look at the topic of the black myths created around the conduct of the Red Army on the German territory. We shall continue this topic in several subsequent posts.

Introduction by Siberian Matrëshka:

There are many speculations, outright fakes and distortions surrounding the Great Patriotic War in general and the Red Army in particular.
One of them goes like this: “When the Soviet army entered Berlin, soldiers and officers began to rape local women. In total, two million Frauleins and Fraus were raped.”

Here, the theses of Goebbels’ propaganda about the Red Army being “steppe scumbags” who rape everything that moves, the fear of Berlin residents for their fate, and targeted discrediting of the Red Army’s role in World War II all converged.

“Our propaganda regarding the Russians and what the population should expect from them in Berlin was so successful that we brought the Berliners to a state of extreme horror,” noted propagandist Werner Naumann.

In Russia, this myth became popular in the 90s, when a dirty stream of all sorts of reading material, including so-called alternative historians, poured onto the market. “It became accepted to tell the truth.” Only along with the truth that was hushed up, they began to publish the truth that did not exist:

Millions of raped German women: where the legs grow from *

* that is: where something is coming from
Olga🪆May 08, 2023

In recent years, Victory Day has acquired another, alas, not very beautiful tradition: the closer the holiday, the more often all kinds of “researchers” begin to broadcast the myth of “raped Germany”.

At the same time, the number of German women allegedly affected by the Red Army only grows over the years.

Three books say that this is the “pure truth”: Martha Hillers’ book “A Woman in Berlin”, the book of the English historian Anthony Beevor “The Fall of Berlin”, and the memoirs of my compatriot WWII veteran Leonid Rabichev “War will write everything off”. All these books have one main idea: the only thing that the Soviet soldiers did, was that they drank and fucked everything that could be fucked. How such an army reached Berlin remains a mystery, nothing less than a miracle of the Lord.

I took the time to find out where these books and their authors grow their legs from. Obviously from the ass, of course, but here are the details. Moreover, I partially read these three books.

Partially, not completely, but enough to draw conclusions.

I want to remind you right away that a huge army of tired, angry and exhausted soldiers entered Berlin, and it would be extremely stupid to bet that all of them had never done anything in their lives. However, in the Soviet army, violence and looting were severely punished, it was Stalin’s personal order. More than 4,000 soldiers were sent to court for looting attempts, demoted and sent to the penal battalion. It is also documented (newspapers, leaflets) that German propaganda actively promoted the theme of evil Soviet rapists. Like, they enter cities and first of all take revenge on everyone they meet, raping women “from 8 to 80 years old” – this is a quote from German newspapers that Goebbels came up with. People were afraid, naturally rumors arose, somewhere someone told something to someone, etc., etc. And the people were really intimidated to the limit, to the point that the activists of the Nazi party killed their families first, and then themselves.

Martha Hillers

So, Martha Hillers. Here is her brief biography: Hillers was born in 1911 in Krefeld. She travelled a lot in Europe, visited the USSR, worked in Moscow, at Soyuzfoto, knew Russian well. In the mid-1930s, she began working as a journalist in Berlin and supported the National Socialists. Hillers joined the Imperial German Writers’ Union and began writing for the NSDAP propaganda newspaper Angrif, founded by Joseph Goebbels. That is, a person who began writing for Goebbels even before the start of the Second World War and who wrote the entire war, published memoirs discrediting the honour of Goebbels’ opponent and people like “oh yes, it’s true, we believe it!”. The book talks about how the author herself was repeatedly subjected to sexual violence by Soviet soldiers and, as a matter of principle, women were forced to give up their bodies in exchange for life. Hillers’ book was published in 1954 and translated into many languages, but the women of Germany boycotted the book: they claimed that they were not as fallen and easily accessible women as it is written in the book. The book was translated into Russian in 2018. Now this book is banned in Russia, as discrediting the honour of the heroes of the Second World War. Based on the book, a film was made in 2008, the film was not included in the ranks of the banned in Russia.

Armenia Bought a Ticket to the Titanic

A repost of an article by Putinger’s Cat:

On January 14, 2025, less than a week before the end of Joe Biden’s presidency, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan and US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken signed the Charter on the establishment of the US-Armenia Strategic Partnership Commission, in Washington, D.C. The document provided for a significant expansion of cooperation between the countries in various areas, ranging from economic matters to security and defense. The United States has already invested over $3.3 billion in Armenia “to support democratic reforms” and such.

“This commission gives us a framework to expand our bilateral cooperation in a number of key areas: economic matters, security and defense, democracy, justice, inclusion and people-to-people exchanges,” Blinken stated. He also noted that, in the coming weeks, the United States will send a customs and border patrol group to Armenia.

“Next month, in the coming weeks, we will have a Customs and Border Patrol team travel to Armenia to work with their Armenian counterparts on border security capacity building, strengthening security cooperation, enhancing Armenia’s peacekeeping capabilities through exercises like Eagle Partner,” added the US Secretary of State, hinting at the possibility of expanding joint military exercises past the bilateral Eagle Partner exercises already held on 2023 and 2024.

Armenia’s new hobby of holding joint military exercises with the USA is quite the change of direction, considering that Armenia is the only one of the former Soviet republics whose borders have been protected by Russia’s border guards (https://crimea.ria.ru/20241008/pogranichniki-rossii-i-armenii-budut-okhranyat-granitsu-s-iranom-i-turtsiey-1140936965.html), for over thirty years, since the break-up of the Soviet Union. It’s noteworthy that Armenia’s border with Turkey has been been closed since 1993 (https://www.rbc.ru/politics/08/01/2025/677e68ab9a794749f7bcfa29), and the two countries have no diplomatic relations. In the present, Iran, already burdened by the everlasting tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan, has expressed concerns about the West’s outpost right outside its border. Just days prior to the signing of the charter, Armenia’s Islamic neighbor even offered a defense pact providing for bringing Iranian troops into Armenia “to stabilize the situation”.

Taking another step in the direction of the sunset, the Armenian government approved a draft law on initiating the process of joining the European Union, as a result of which the country will not send its representatives to the upcoming meeting of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Armenia has also signed a defense cooperation program with France and the United States to achieve “lasting peace” in the South Caucasus.

Moscow called Armenia’s rapprochement with the Western and Yerevan’s burning desire to join the EU a “ticket to the Titanic” and a prerequisite for leaving the EAEU.

“Moscow considers the draft law on Armenia’s accession to the European Union as the beginning of its withdrawal from the EAEU. As such, the Russian Federation will design its economic policy towards Armenia taking this development into account,” Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Overchuk stated, clarifying that, in his opinion, the EU and the EAEU are incompatible.

The Deputy Prime Minister believes that Yerevan’s break-up with the EAEU will lead to a rise of energy and food prices in Armenia and a drop in Armenian goods exports. As such, regular people will suffer income and jobs losses and will have to deal with higher prices for basic necessities. In return, their only tangible reward will be visa-free travel to the EU, which would only speed up the inevitable depopulation of Armenia resulting from the drop in quality of life.

“It is becoming increasingly clear that EAEU membership is a privilege, while, given the economic and social problems facing the European Union, joining the EU could be compared to purchasing a ticket to the Titanic,” Overchuk underscored.

The irony of this statement is not lost on those aware of Armenia’s pride in the fact that Noah’s Arc landed on Mount Ararat – Armenia’s legendary mountain currently located in Turkey, right across the border with Armenia.

Trump insults the memory of the Soviet sacrifice in WWII

Reading time: 8 minutes

No sooner did Musk finish displaying how well he studied the subject of heiling from Her Royal Heilness, that Trump followed up by en even more outrageously insulting X-post:

Never mind threatening the most sanctioned country in the world with sanctions. As the Russian saying goes, it is like trying to scare a hedgehog with a naked arse.

It is the bit where he says that “Russia helped the USA to win WWII” that represents a mortal insult to the memory of 27,000,000 million Soviet people who lost their life almost single-handedly thwarting the Nazi menace, which the USA and the Britain previously helped to install in Germany!

We wrote several flaming posts at “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”, followed by reposts from several other channels, adding more context and ire!

Trump: «Russia helped us win the war»

Please pardon our French, but the arrogance of this Trump-ignorant is insulting to the point that our piss is boiling!!!

The Soviet Union single-handedly broke the back of the armed forces of the Reich and defeated Nazi Germany, which disposed of the entire industrial might of surrendered and fascist allied Europe.

The historic evidence is absolutely indisputable, and no matter how much these megalomaniacs distort and rewrite history, this truth won’t change!!

Capice!!

The US and Britain joined at the last moment, at a time when the outcome of the war was already given. The United States of America didn’t ‘win’ anything!

Let’s take a look at the losses. USA lost in the entire WWII 417.000 soldiers, that is, including the losses in the war in the Pacific. Pick any of the great Soviet battles and compare; the number of losses exceeds the totality of American losses by several hundred percent! In Stalingrad alone, the Nazi losses amounted to more than one million dead.

Marshal Zhukov estimates that the Red Army accounts for 80-85% of the entire German WWII losses in both manpower and weaponry.

Furthermore, when these pathologically lying opportunistic Anglo-Saxons finally entered the war and established the second front in Europe in 1944, they faced only weakened and inferior German troops, eager to surrender and with no armour worth mentioning.

The only time that the US troops actually faced something which had a slight resemblance to what the Red Army had been defeating for 4 years was during the German Ardennes Offensive, which the US calls the Battle of the bulge. Even at this last stage, the small German armoured force proved too much for the fresh yankie armies:

In January 1945, the Anglo-Saxon high command begged and pleaded with Stalin that the Soviet Union open the Oder-Neisse Offensive ahead of time to prevent the Germans from transferring any troops to the Ardennes front, which would have proved fatal to the American forces.

And yes, Stalin did come to the rescue of the Americans!!

So, if anybody ‘helped’ anybody to ‘win’, the true picture is quite the opposite of the one painted by this failed con-artist called Trump:

‼️ The Soviet Union ‘helped the US’ from suffering a humiliating defeat inflicted by a crumbling, beaten and broken Third Reich!!

Got it!?

Now, shut up and remove your decaying thieving self from the glorious feat of our ancestors!

Trump and Musk’s “Right International” – beyond the gestures and salutes

Posted on by
Reading time: 14 minutes

During Trump’s inauguration, Elon Mask nonchalantly threw a Nazi salute into the face of humanity. Later Trump posted that USSR “helped” USA to defeat Nazi Germany. We will come to that in a different article. First lest us take a closer look at the Heiling Musk. Previously he claimed that Hitler was a “socialist”, in an ongoing assault on history.

Musk’s “Sieg Heil” produced a number of sarcastic memes and commentaries. We made several publication at our channel “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden” on this topic, starting with this post. The publication is concluded with the complete translation of an article from “Soviet Russia”, which we only presented in highlights at Telegram.

Elon Musk showing his true colours

Publicist and member of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Alexander Rogozhkin (https://t.me/RedLine1917) commented on Elon Musk’s gesture, similar to a Nazi salute, with which the billionaire concluded his speech at Trump’s presidential parade:

“A Nazi salute-giving billionaire who got rich largely on military contracts is an excellent symbol of the fact that capitalism has not changed, has not become social, has not become fair, as it seemed to some.

Capitalism, like a hundred years ago, is a system leading the world to new wars for the redistribution of markets and territories. A system leading the world to barbarism. A system that cannot help but become fascist in times of crisis. And it is impossible not to stand in the way of this barbarism, if only because it will affect everyone.”

👉 Maybe Musk is doing a re-enactment of the “Go West” clip by Pet Shop Boys, though that would be an equally big offense, seeing the subtext of that song…


By Fearless John:

◾ Recently Elon Musk claimed Adolf Hitler was a “Socialist” in a childish attempt to conflate Fascism (the dictatorship of Capitalists) with Communism (the Worker’s dictatorship).

Nevertheless it’s really easy to learn who Hitler’s policies benefited. Hitler was not only vehemently anti-Communist and anti-Marxist, he carried a full purge of the NSDAP and crushed the Strasserist faction at the request of the big industrial landlords of Germany. He put the biggest industrial and globalists elites on his government and crushed the trade unions and workers movements, provided slave labour to massive corporations that still operate today.
