Remembering the Khatyn Massacre of March 22, 1943

83 years ago, the peaceful Soviet Belarusian village of Khatyn was wiped out – nearly all of the inhabitants were burned alive and shot by the SS punitive unit Dirlewanger (Sonderkommando Dirlewanger) and the 118th Ukrainian Police Battalion.

Khatyn – a small village of just 26 households – was located 54 kilometres northwest of Minsk. (BATS note: A short node about the name of the village. There is no sound “k” in Khatyn – the first sound is “h” as in “he, home”.)

On March 22, 1943, Belarusian partisans intercepted a Nazi motor convoy in the area, inflicting casualties, including killing a German officer. In retaliation, the Hitlerites encircled Khatyn and decided to unleash their fury on defenceless civilians – women, the elderly and children.

All residents – 149 people, including 75 children – were forced into a wooden barn, locked inside and set ablaze. Those who, in desperation, tried to escape were ruthlessly shot at point-blank range.

✍️ From the interrogation record of Ostap Knap, a collaborator from the 118th Ukrainian Police Battalion, a native of the Lvov region (31 May 1986):

“The roof was thatched and immediately caught fire. Screams of horror rose from the barn as those trapped inside, facing certain death, began forcing the door. The policemen surrounding the site opened fire on them”.

Only six people managed to escape the inferno alive – five children and one adult, 56-year-old blacksmith Iosif Kaminsky. He regained consciousness late at night after the perpetrators had left the burnt village. Among the bodies of his fellow villagers, he found his son Adam, who died from his wounds in his father’s arms…

❗️ The atrocities in Khatyn were carried out by the 118th Ukrainian Police Battalion, formed in October 1942 in Kiev largely from Ukrainian nationalists and members of the Organisation of Ukrainian nationalists. Earlier, its members took part in mass executions of Jews at Babi Yar. The battalion was commanded by Konstantin Smovsky, born in the Poltava Governorate, who later fled to the US, where he died in 1960. The Supreme court of Belarus has found him guilty of genocide.

***

In 1969, one of Belarus’s most revered memorial sites – the Khatyn Memorial Complex – was opened on the site of the destroyed village, a silent witness to the monstrous crimes of Nazism. At its centre stands a six-metre bronze sculpture, The Unconquered Man, depicting Iosif Kaminsky carrying his dead son in his arms. Each of the 26 burned homes is marked by a symbolic log structure with an obelisk in the shape of a chimney, bearing the names of those who perished and a bell that tolls every hour.

The tragedy of Khatyn has become a symbol of the inhuman cruelty of Nazism – a living reminder of hundreds of annihilated villages and thousands of innocent civilians of the Soviet Union whose lives were shattered by Nazi perpetrators and their accomplices – a genocide of the Soviet people. Our duty is to ensure that these crimes, which have no statute of limitations, are never forgotten.

On April 19, by Presidential Decree, Russia established the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Genocide of the Soviet People during the Great Patriotic War. According to even the most conservative estimates, 13.7 million civilians were murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators.

🕯 We mourn together with the fraternal people of Belarus.

✍️ Today marks the anniversary of one of the most heinous crimes committed by the Nazis and their accomplices – the destruction in 1943 of the Belarusian village of Khatyn together with all its inhabitants.

149 people, including 75 children, were burned alive.

Since 1969, a memorial complex stands on the site of the burned Khatyn, commemorating the mass murder of civilians on the occupied territory of the USSR.

The Unburied Corpses: How American Empire Recycles Fascism

We re-blog an excellent article by Ryan Perkins, published on October 02, 2025 at his Substack. This article complements well the materials in two of Dmitry Medvedev’s publications that we translated on the pages of the Beehive:

From European Nazis to Japanese war criminals; from Latin American death squads to Salafist Jihadists, the names of the actors and enemies may change, but the script remains the same.

Introduction to The Anatomy of Empire

We are living through a global conflict of connected crises. Gaza, Iran, Venezuela, the South China Sea and in Ukraine, where battalions adorned with neo-Nazi insignia fight with Western arms. Meanwhile, in the halls of European power the ancestry of leaders echoes with fascist collaboration. These are not historical accidents but the symptomatic convulsions of an Empire in continuity, repurposing its oldest tools to preserve a core of power that is fundamentally unchanged. Behind the headlines of military alliances and ideological battles lies a deeper, more disturbing truth—a war waged not against fascism, but with it.

This series, The Anatomy of Empire, has traced the obscured path that brought us to this precipice. It is a history not of chance, but of cold calculation; not of isolated compromises, but of a systemic logic pursued with relentless determination. We have seen how the engines of capital accumulation require global expansion and how raw military power was institutionalized to secure it. Now, we turn to the system’s most cynical and durable adaptation: the wholesale absorption of its defeated enemy into the very infrastructure designed to fight the next enemy.

Parts of this story are familiar, often presented as isolated incidents and justified as moral compromises in the name of realpolitik. But this is not true. Taken together they represent a cold, clear, calculated strategy, executed with the presence of foresight, to wholesale incorporate the infrastructure of fascism into the architecture of the Empire’s next war of choice: The Cold War.

This was not merely the recruitment of a few useful individuals, but the systematic integration of personnel, tactics, and ideologies into intelligence agencies, scientific programs, and military commands. A clandestine architecture whose logical endpoint is not peace, but a state of perpetual, undeclared war waged with democratic façades and fascist instruments.

It was a corporate takeover that transformed a group of disparate regional start-ups into a global franchise.

Samples of the Ukrainian Nazi-Banderite nationalism

This article contains a compendium of assorted materials that compliment our translation of the publication by Dmitry Medvedev, How the Anglo-Saxons Nurtured Ukrainian Nationalism After the Second World War. We have posted most of these materials at our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Sieldmaiden”, leading up to the presentation of Dmitry Medvedev’s article.

Ukrainisches Reich: A border post on the border of Ukraine with Russia, during the Hetmanate and the alliance with Germany, 1918.

The name “Ukraine” first appeared in official international documents only in 1918 after the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk between Soviet Russia and the Central Powers.

Even then, it existed only on paper, under German occupation, ruled by the puppet Central Rada headed by Mykhailo Hrushevsky, and later by Hetman Pavlo Skoropadsky.

When Germany lost the war, the project collapsed within months.

Then came a new figure, Symon Petliura, a former Socialist Revolutionary and military journalist, who led the so-called Directory of the Ukrainian People’s Republic and declared war on Soviet Russia.

What’s rarely mentioned is that Petliura worked closely with Western intelligence. Already in 1917–1918, he maintained contact with the French military mission in southern Russia, which financed anti-Bolshevik movements.

Later, in 1919, he signed a deal with Józef Piłsudski, giving up part of Ukrainian territory to Poland in exchange for military aid. In reality, Petliura was nothing more than a tool of Polish and French geopolitics, used to create a buffer state against Russia.

His “republic” survived barely three years, disappearing by 1921 after defeat by the Red Army. Petliura fled to Paris, where he was assassinated in 1926.

How the Anglo-Saxons Nurtured Ukrainian Nationalism After the Second World War – Dmitry Medvedev

An article by Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, publish in magazine Rodina on December 25, 2025.

Nationalism is a manifestation of a nation’s weakness, not its strength. For the most part, weak nations are infected with nationalism <...> Like any evil, it hides, lives in darkness, and only pretends to be born out of love for its country. But it is actually generated by anger, hatred towards other nations and towards that part of their own people who do not share nationalist views.

D.S. Lihachev [1]

The claw of England.
The inscription in French reads: “Shame on anyone who thinks evil of it. God is my right.”

1. Tantum scimus, quantum memoria tene-mus [2]

(Latin: “We know as much as we remember”)

The Anglo-Saxon ideological roots of the Nazi “death machine” were discussed in detail in the article “How the Anglo-Saxons Promoted Fascism in the 20th Century and Revived It in the 21st. Five historical questions for our former Allies”. [3] At the same time, the defeat of Nazism in May 1945 did not stop Washington and London from trying to find another object for political vivisection under a nationalist sauce.

The traditional garment of the Malorossians

The shocking details of the biography of the ancestors of Blaise Matreveli, a high-ranking employee of the British state security agencies who took up the post of director of the Secret Intelligence Service of the British Foreign Office (MI6) on October 1, 2025, which surfaced in June 2025, are an excellent illustration of the carefully hidden context in Anglo-Saxon countries [4], [5]. As historians and public figures who are not indifferent to upholding the truth about the past have found out, her paternal grandfather was the collaborator K.A. Dobrovolsky, who in August 1941 voluntarily surrendered to the Germans and was then placed by the occupation authorities at the head of a detachment of auxiliary police in the village Sosnitsa, Chernigov region, engaged in the mass extermination of civilians and partisans. By December 1941, his unit was operating far beyond the area of the village “entrusted” to him, participating in monstrous punitive actions and looting. The Judas himself joined in July 1942 a secret field police [6], was distinguished by extreme brutality, earning the nickname “The Butcher” from his colleagues, and his handwritten reports with the signature “Heil Hitler” are still in the German archives (one can only wonder how the long hands of unscrupulous British spies did not get to such sensitive materials over the past decades, and did not destroy them). In 1943, fearing just retribution, K.A. Dobrovolsky and his family joined the German troops retreating from the Red Army to the west, after which the traces of the bloody henchman of the third Reich are lost.

Goebbels’ Factory of Lies: Nemmersdorf and the Nazi staging to frighten and terrify Germany

The following material is from the German Telegram channel FKT – History of the Soviet Union, translated by us for Beorn And The Shieldmaiden.

“Victory of Bolshevism”. After the fall of the Third Reich, this slogan would be picked up by the Fourth Reich overseas

According to Nazi propaganda, Soviet soldiers in Nemmersdorf allegedly raped all women between the ages of 8 and 84 and then crucified the naked victims alive at barn doors. They also claimed to have found bodies in wells and that the Soviets killed French and Belgian prisoners only because they spoke foreign languages.

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

On October 21, 1944, the Red Army captured the Prussian village of Nemmersdorf, but held it occupied for only two days. On October 25, SS officers and war reporters arrived in Nemmersdorf, and a day later the Völkischer Beobachter published an article entitled “The Rage of Soviet Beasts”. It said: Germans, this is what awaits you. They will rape, crucify and kill all but the last man. A hastily convened “international commission” headed by the Estonian Hjalmar Mäe (one of those responsible for the extermination of the Jews in Estonia) quickly investigated the case and presented “evidence” of the “heinous crimes of the Bolsheviks”.

This is just one example of a whole series of fakes produced by the propaganda machinery of the Third Reich under Joseph Goebbels. The goal of the Minister of Propaganda was to stir up panic and hatred among the German population, and he fulfilled this task perfectly.

The Wehrmacht soldier Bernhard Fisch later wrote in his book:

The bodies of the victims were brought by members of the SS from various villages of the surrounding area, and no one checked their names; they were simply invented spontaneously.

In 2001, German TELEVISION shamefully admitted that there were “probably no rapes,” and the witness of the events, non-commissioned officer Helmut Hoffmann, stated:

The soldiers of the Red Army did not nail the women to crosses. This is what the members of the “Goebbels special unit” did: some of the bodies were crucified in barns, some were pictorially placed in front of the houses with their clothes pulled up before the arrival of the journalists.

Operation Unthinkable – Marco Rubio’s Speech in Munich

The article by Sevim Daǧdelen, published on February 18, 2026 in Overton Magazine was translated from German by us on our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”.

For a contrast, make sure to read “Munich, 2007: The Day the West Was Told No” – an analysis by Gerry Nolan, preceded by the speech and a summary from the Russian MFA, while the wider historical context can be found in How the Anglo-Saxons Promoted Fascism in the 20th Century and Revived It in the 21st – Dmitry Medvedev.


The US Secretary of State views 1945 as a defeat for the West and wants to revise the post-war order, including anti-colonial liberation. At the “security conference”, he received standing ovations, especially from German ministers.

British Prime Minister Winston Churchill had commissioned the development of “Operation Unthinkable” in May 1945. (Rea also: The unthinkable madness of the Anglo-Saxons. From 1945-49 the US and UK planned to bomb Russia into the Stone Age.) The British General Staff was instructed to devise a plan for an attack on the Soviet Union, which was to take place jointly with US forces and 100,000 soldiers of the German Wehrmacht on July 1, 1945. Due to the high risks, particularly the doubts about whether British soldiers would actually follow a corresponding attack order, the project, which was not published until 1998, was abandoned. However, the plan was in line with a quote falsely attributed to Winston Churchill: “We’ve slaughtered the wrong pig.”

Marco Rubio’s speech at the Munich Security Conference now follows in the tradition of “Operation Unthinkable”, but on a global scale. Rubio views 1945 as a year of defeat for the West, and he wants to reverse the anti-colonialist defeat of 1945 from his perspective. This is also the real reason why the US administration wants to push the United Nations aside.

Rubio’s Colonial Nostalgia

“For five centuries before the end of the Second World War, the West was expanding – its missionaries, its pilgrims, its soldiers, its explorers streamed from its shores to cross oceans, colonise new continents, and build vast empires that spanned the globe. But in 1945, for the first time since the age of Columbus, the West retreated,” Rubio’s historical lesson states. Then the decline set in, “accelerated by godless communist revolutions and anti-colonial uprisings.”

Therefore, 1945 is understood as a crisis of Western colonialism, in which the US sees itself as the leading power, but which also needs allies. Therefore, the US Secretary of State emphasised:

“We don’t want our allies to be weak, because that makes us weaker.”

This is a reblog of the publication at the site of the Russian Foreign Ministry, with a condensed version of the article at the Telegram channel of the Russian Embassy in Guyana.

Letter to the media from Ambassador Andrey A. Pritsepov

The article was denied publication in Guyanese newspaper “Stabroek News” for political reasons.

Dear Editor,

It was not without interest I read the article “Ukraine in outreach to Guyana” from January 24, 2026 in Stabroek News and acknowledged editor-in-chief’s admiration for the Ukrainian flag as well as for focusing on in-depth analysis of the international events. It makes it easier to comment.

As I wrote before, I remain the strongest supporter of the Maxima by your President H.E. Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali stating that real diplomacy should be based only on truth and the facts. So here, I feel privileged to remind the readers about the truth and the facts on Ukraine.

1. Ukraine is ruled by a neo-fascist, corrupt and illegitimate ex-president. His presidential term expired on May 21, 2024 and according to chapter V of the Ukrainian constitution could not be prolonged. He came to power by promising peace to all Ukrainians and deceived them all by launching the bloodiest war in the history of modern Europe while being sponsored, encouraged and supplied by NATO. Europe spent more than 270 bln USD on Kiev in order to defeat Russia on the battlefield.

The French-Lithuanian falsification of WWII history by SBS

On 8 February, SBS aired the film The Anti-Soviet Fighters (French-Lithuanian co-production), which is built entirely on lies and a cynical falsification of history.

Members of the “Forest Brothers” armed gangs are portrayed as heroes who “waged a decade-long fight against Soviet control in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia”.

In fact, the core of this “movement” was composed of former military personnel of the Baltic states belonging to the territorial SS battalions. They were involved in bloody crimes against civilians. The Nuremberg Tribunal designated all persons officially admitted as members of the SS as criminals.

According to official figures, between 1944 and 1956, the “Forest Brothers” killed more than 25’000 people in Lithuania, including over 1’000 children (52 of them were under the age of two), more than 2’000 in Latvia and 800 in Estonia. The overwhelming majority of the victims were local common people who supported the Soviet authorities or simply refused to assist underground bandit formations.

❗️This film is an attempt to brainwash the SBS audience, revise the outcomes of the Nuremberg Tribunal and glorify murderers depicting them as “freedom fighters”.

Rewriting the history of the Second World War is a dangerous path to revival of Nazism and to tragedies which must never be repeated.

Georgy Zotov, in his recent Telegram post explains, using a hands-on example, how the history of the Second World War was distorted.

Read also Nazi-gold in the Swiss Banks and Nazi-officers in NATO. Connecting the Dots.

In 1950, a so-called “Himmlerod Memorandum” was created in West Germany. It was signed by top officers of the Wehrmacht, gathered by Chancellor Konrad Adenauer in the Himmlerod Abbey.

As is well known, in August 1945 in Potsdam, the USSR, the USA, and the UK decided that the military officers of Hitler’s Germany should be subjected to denazification, and the former Reich should be demilitarised so that it could not create its own army. However, after the start of the Korean War, the Americans changed their opinion: they thought it was time to revive the German army to resist the Soviet Union.

After the discussions from October 5 to 9, 1950 in Himmlerod, the following was established:

  • It was necessary to “let off steam” on the criminal cases of military criminals.
  • To stop the “slander” against German soldiers in the media.
  • To take measures to change public opinion about the Reich army.

The Return of Hans Speidel
A biting caricature by the Soviet art collective “Kukryniksy”, drawn in 1957, depicts Hans Speidel, who has medals for “War against France” and “War against England” on his chest.
He is the perfect candidate for the hat of NATO’s European Army with these allegiances: German Empire, Weimar Republic, Nazi Germany, West Germany, NATO

In January 1951, Dwight Eisenhower, the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces in Europe, held a meeting with former Wehrmacht generals – Heusinger and Speidel, saying:

“I learned that there was a real difference between the German soldier and Hitler’s criminals. And I don’t think the German soldier lost his honour.”

Soon, many Wehrmacht officers were granted pensions, and Adenauer declared in the Bundestag – “The Germans fought honestly”.

Below is a reblog of an article by Eva K. Bartlett, published by RT on January 27, 2026. Eba Bartlett is a Canadian independent journalist. She has spent years on the ground covering conflict zones in the Middle East, especially in Syria and Palestine (where she lived for nearly four years).

‘We are back in the Middle Ages’: How the EU literally starves dissenting experts

No one is safe from the ‘Russian propaganda’ sanctions – even those who never touch Russian sources

On December 15, 2025, the European Union slapped sanctions on former Swiss intelligence officer and ex-NATO employee Jacques Baud. No day in court, no charges filed, just abrupt, suffocating, sanctions.

Why did the EU sanction Baud? For “Russian propaganda,” of course, although many of the sources he cites in his reports on the West provoking war with Russia years prior to Russia’s military operation are Western and Ukrainian – including the SBU and Aleksey Arestovich, a former adviser to Vladimir Zelensky.

Welcome to the latest EU insanity.

Widely respected for his deep knowledge and analysis, much of which is based on his own research while working with NATO, Baud has grown increasingly popular over the years, appearing on numerous podcasts and interviews, authoring numerous books and articles as well.

Since Russia began its military operation in Ukraine, Western media have been howling about an “unprovoked invasion.” Baud has written and spoken extensively about realities which counter this claim: facts on the ground prior to February 2022, going back (unlike most legacy media who have developed selective amnesia) to even before the 2014 Maidan coup.

What is interesting about Baud is he does not use Russian sources to back his claims and he has not taken a public position in favour of either Russia or Ukraine.

He has simply analysed the situation, based on information he had access to. How did he have access to this information? In 2014, when working for NATO in charge of countering proliferation of small arms, he was tasked with investigating accusations of Russia supplying arms to Donbass resistance.

He wrote of this in 2022, noting, “The information we received then came almost entirely from Polish intelligence services and did not ‘fit’ with the information coming from the OSCE – despite rather crude allegations, there were no deliveries of weapons and military equipment from Russia.

“The rebels were armed thanks to the defection of Russian-speaking Ukrainian units that went over to the rebel side. As Ukrainian failures continued, tank, artillery and anti-aircraft battalions swelled the ranks of the autonomists.”

“Их традиции” – Илья Эренбург, 1944

Илья Эренбург был военным корреспондентом и публицистом, и его слова стали одним из самых мощных интеллектуальных орудий в борьбе с нацизмом. Его тексты укрепляли волю к сопротивлению, вселяли надежду и формировали нравственное самосознание того времени. Его вклад в победу до сих пор считается неотъемлемой частью исторического и культурного наследия.

Казалось бы, все статьи, написанные Ильей Эренбургом, должны быть известны и описаны. Действительно, на сайте Военной Литературы есть хронологический список его произведений военного времени.

И все же в датском издании произведений Ильи Эренбурга от 1944 года мы наткнулись на название, которого не было в списке. Да и основной текст (переведенный с датского на русский) не появился бы ни в одной антологии. Мыыпедставляем вашему вниманию: “Их традиции”, переведенные с датского обратно на русский.

По-фашистки – “победитель”, а по-нашему – грабитель
Карикатура Дмитрия Моора на военную тематику, одна из многих, представленных на цифровой выставке библиотеки имени Некрасова “Художники победы”.

Их традиции

Передо мной письмо, написанное лейтенантом Рудольфом Шакертом. Посмотрите, что хочет сказать этот немецкий офицер, который находится в госпитале за линией фронта:

“Ты поймешь меня, дорогой Эрнст, моё сердце вот-вот разорвется. Пока ты сидел на крайнем севере, я сражался за Крым. Там погибли мои лучшие друзья. Со школьных лет мы помним, что земля, которая пила немецкую кровь, – это немецкая земля, но, по-видимому, Крым скоро будет эвакуирован. Ханс Тильт говорит только об одном — он не может вынести эвакуации Житомира. Я утешаю себя одним: мы завоевали эти земли своей кровью, кровью лучших, и даже если из-за предательских действий плутократов мы проиграем эту войну, Германия никогда не забудет, что ее дети были на Украине и в Севастополе. Волгу можно назвать походом, но Украина и Крым – это завоевания. Если я пройду через это, я расскажу Отто о садах Крыма, и он будет мечтать о том времени, когда вырастет и сможет вернуть утраченное. У меня такое чувство, что началась столетняя война; возможно, будут паузы, но мы добьемся своего…”

Я прошу читателей задуматься над письмом Шакерта. Он не одинок в мечтах о новых войнах: таких немцев много. Недостаточно того, что мы прогоним немцев. Мы также должны отправиться в Германию. Это необходимо для судьбы будущих поколений. Мы должны отучить немцев от многого — и этого не добьёшься проповедями и речами.

“Their Traditions” – By Ilya Ehrenburg, 1944

Reading time: 8 minutes

Ilya Ehrenburg, as a war correspondent and publicist, his words became one of the most powerful intellectual weapons in the fight against Nazism. His texts strengthened the will to resist, gave hope, and shaped the moral self-understanding of the time. His contribution to the victory is still considered an indispensable part of the historical and cultural heritage.

It would seem that all the articles, written by Ilya Ehrenburg would be known and annotated. Indeed, there is a chronological list of his War-time works at the Military Literature site.

And yet, in a Danish edition of Ilya Ehrenburg’s works from 1944 we came across a title, not listed anywhere. Nor would the body of the text (translated to Russian) would come up in any anthologies. so here it is: “Their Traditions”, translated by BATS to English from Danish, and first published at our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”. In the next post we will also re-translate the publication back to Russian, to bring back this lost, but found article.

In fascist-speak it’s ‘a victor’, while in ours, it’s ‘a robber’
A War-time caricature by Dmitry Moor, one of many on display at the digital exhibition of the Nekrasov library, “The Artists of Victory”.

Their Traditions

In front of me is a letter written by Lieutenant Rudolf Schackert. See here what this German officer, who is in a hospital behind the front, has to say:

“You will understand me, dear Ernst, my heart is about to burst. While you were sitting in the high north, I was fighting for the Crimea. My best friends were killed there. We remember from school days that land that has drunk German blood is German land, but apparently the Crimea will soon be evacuated. Hans Tilt speaks of only one thing — he cannot bear the evacuation of Zhitomir. I console myself with one thing: we have claimed these lands with our blood, the blood of the best, and even if the treacherous actions of the plutocrats should cause us to lose this war, Germany will never forget that her children were in Ukraine and Sevastopol. The Volga can be described as a campaign, but Ukraine and Crimea are conquests. If I get through it, I’ll tell Otto about the gardens of Crimea, and he will dream of the time when he grows up and can win back what was lost. I have a feeling that a 100 Years’ War has begun; there’ll probably be pauses, but we’ll get there…”

I ask readers to think about Schackert’s letter. He’s not alone in dreaming of new wars: there are many such Germans. It is not enough that we chase the Germans out. We must also go to Germany. It is necessary for the fate of future generations. We must wean the Germans off a lot — and that will not be achieved with sermons and speeches.

Donbass helpers were arrested in Germany

Donbass helpers were arrested in Germany

Statement by Friedensbrücke Kriegsopferhilfe e.v.* on the arbitrary arrests on January 21, 2026 in Brandenburg

The arrests of two alleged supporters of the so-called “People’s Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk” carried out today are a blatant expression of politically motivated justice in Germany, which has increasingly become a tool for discrediting and criminalising humanitarian aid and legitimate political expression.

The Federal Prosecutor’s Office classifies the People’s Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk as “terrorist organisations” in complete disregard of historical and political realities. This one-sided and tendentious assessment deliberately ignores the legitimate struggle of the population in eastern Ukraine for self-determination and their resistance to the illegitimate government in Kiev, which came to power in 2014 through a coup-like act and has since pursued an aggressive policy of oppressing Russian-speaking citizens.

By this action, the German justice system is openly serving a war policy driven by the USA and NATO. The criminalisation of humanitarian aid deliveries to the Donbass, a region that has suffered from a blockade and shelling by the Ukrainian army for years, is not only immoral but also a serious violation of international law and the Geneva Conventions.

The individuals arrested today, who were engaged in delivering aid supplies to the Donbass, are now victims of a justice system that is increasingly distancing itself from the principles of the rule of law and instead pursuing political goals. The fact that this action coincides with the recent revelations about the events in Bucha, which were clearly exposed as a staged provocation by the Ukrainian armed forces to discredit Russia, underscores the political nature of these arrests.

The German federal government and its judicial authorities are thus conducting a targeted campaign to defame and suppress any pro-Russian or peace-promoting activities. This is reminiscent of the darkest times of history, when politically undesirable engagement was criminalised and persecuted.

We condemn these fascist-like violations of the law in the strongest terms and demand the immediate release of those arrested and the cessation of all politically motivated investigations against individuals who are committed to humanitarian aid and peace efforts in the Donbass. Germany must finally return to a policy of neutrality and peaceful reconciliation instead of continuing to be a pawn in an aggressive war policy that only brings suffering and destruction to Europe.

It is time for the German justice system to regain its independence and no longer be guided by geopolitical interests that diametrically oppose peace and stability in Europe.

Organisation “British Union of Fascists”

Following, is a short publication from the “Two Majors” Telegram channel.

Read also How the Anglo-Saxons Promoted Fascism in the 20th Century and Revived It in the 21st – Dmitry Medvedev and Our answer to NOT-A-Chamberlain, by Maria Zaharova. On Imperial British foundation of Nazism.

October 1, 1932. The “British Union of Fascists” (BUF) was founded in the United Kingdom under the leadership of Oswald Mosley – the largest fascist organisation in the interwar period on the islands. Inspired by Mussolini’s Italian fascism, Mosley quickly established connections with European dictators: he met with Hitler and received funding from Rome. BUF did not simply copy ideas – it adapted them to the British imperial spirit, promoting a corporate state, anti-communism, and anti-Semitism.

Influence on Europe before World War II was significant: BUF became part of a wave of fascist movements, showing that the “brown plague” could take root even in liberal democracies. The organisation popularised militarised marches, black shirts, and propaganda that echoed in Germany, Italy, and Spain. Although BUF never came to power (peaking at 50,000 members in 1934), it intensified the radicalisation of right-wing forces across the continent, contributing to societal polarisation before the war.

In fact, British fascists became a “bridge” between continental totalitarianism and the Anglo-Saxon world.

Today, the ideological heirs of BUF are far-right groups like Britain First, Patriotic Alternative, and the English Defence League (EDL), led by figures such as Tommy Robinson. They have evolved: from outright fascism to “patriotism” with an emphasis on anti-Islamism, nationalism, and anti-immigrant rhetoric. Post-war successors of Mosley, like the Union Movement, mutated into modern parties – from the British National Party (BNP) to Reform UK led by Nigel Farage, who uses Euroscepticism and “defence of British values.”

Against the backdrop of the migration crisis, this intensifies: in 2024-2025, the influx of migrants across the English Channel triggered mass riots. For obvious reasons, groups of enraged right-wing radicals organise protests at hotels, set buildings on fire, and mobilise crowds under slogans like “Britain for the British.”

In August 2025, members of the Homeland Party and similar groups coordinated actions across the country, using social media to incite counter hatred. Migrants in Britain are also quite the Nazis and radicals, just like here. Migration became a catalyst: 52% of Britons believe there are too many migrants (which is true), and the far-right exploits this to grow support, echoing Mosley’s propaganda.

The history of the 1930s is repeating. Neo-fascism is on the rise in Europe. Britain is no exception: migration chaos feeds radicals, while elites turn a blind eye, focusing on personal gain.

Overall, the EU is witnessing an open terrorist dictatorship of the most reactionary, most chauvinistic, most imperialistic elements of financial capital, carried out by direct methods of internal terror.

There are clear similarities between today’s EU and Nazi Germany’s plans for a Greater Germanic Reorganisation of Europe. This may seem like a drastic claim, but if we read the Nazis’ own plans and compare them with how the EU works, and not least how the EU is developing, it is not difficult to see the similarities.

The most interesting document in this context is a speech given by Hitler’s Minister of Economics Walther Funk on April 25, 1940: “Die wirtschaftliche Neuordnung Europas”.

This was a key speech in which Funk, as German Minister of Economics, outlined Nazi Germany’s plans for an economic reorganisation of Europe under German domination, including the exploitation of resources from occupied countries such as Norway.

The document promotes the idea of ​​a “European economic community” dominated by Germany, with a focus on self-sufficiency, rational allocation of resources, and the elimination of “unnecessary” competition.

These are the key points of the document:
