On the eve of the Great Victory Day, the Belorussian National Cadastral Agency, together with the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Republic of Belarus, updated the information layer “Burnt Villages” on the public cadastral map.

This thematic layer, published in 2021, has become a kind of digital monument to the victims of the war and an important tool for preserving historical memory. Its content is based on data obtained by the Prosecutor General’s Office during the investigation of the criminal case on the genocide of the Belarusian people. According to the results of investigative actions over 5 years, more than 4,000 previously unaccounted-for settlements were additionally mapped.

Results of the current update:

  • 15 villages identified during the investigation have been added.;
  • The descriptive information for more than 300 villages has been clarified;
  • The location of 35 villages has been adjusted.

Today, the map contains data on 12,858 affected villages. A special place in this list is occupied by 290 settlements that shared the sad fate of Khatyn. These villages were burned down along with their inhabitants, disappearing forever from the map of the country.

Data collection, verification, and updating are ongoing.

Each marker on the map is not just a dot, but a tribute to the memory of millions of innocent victims, and our duty is to protect the truth about the events of the Great Patriotic War and pass it on to future generations.

📖 Out of the Fire

Make sure to read the book “Out of the Fire”, available at the Internet Archive!

English translation of Out of the Fire [Я з вогненнай вёскі (Ya z vognennaj vyoski) / Я из огненной деревни (Ya iz ognennoj derevni) / I Am From a Fire Village], published by Progress Publishers in Moscow in 1980. Originally published in Belarus in 1975/6. Writers Ales Adamovich, Yanka Bryl, and Vladimir Kolesnik conducted interviews with survivors – mainly women and grown children – of fascist Germany’s genocidal violence against the Soviet Union, when hundreds of Belarussian villages were burned to the ground and their inhabitants murdered. Some snippets of these transcriptions would later work their way into Adamovich’s novel Khatyn. His script for Come and See also used this same source material. An anti-fascist masterwork of horror and hope. Translation by Angelia Graf and Nina Belenkaya. Book design by Arlen Kashurevich.

Europe Rehabilitates Fascism While Erasing the Communists Who Defeated It – A Politsturm reblog

Communists and the Soviet Union played a vital role in liberating France, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Germany from Nazism. 81 years later, efforts are underway to erase their role from public memory.

Fascism against the Soviet memory

Details. Over the past two years, governments across Europe have moved to criminalise communist ideology, destroy Soviet monuments, and ban communist parties – while far-right and fascist parties freely grow in popularity. Politsturm prepared a review of European countries where the persecution of communists has intensified over the past year, in comparison with the contribution made by communists and the USSR to the liberation of these countries from fascism.

France

The far-right National Rally – founded by former Waffen-SS members as “National Front” – is now on course to win the 2027 presidential election.

► In 2025, the annual fascist march in Paris proceeded with legal permission – with far-right delegations from Hungary, Germany, Italy, and Spain – and openly using WW2 Axis symbolism. The march deliberately coincided with Victory Day commemorations. Meanwhile, counter-protests were banned, and multiple counter-demonstrators were arrested.

► On Victory Day this year, a WW2-era fascist collaborator anthem was played on public loudspeakers in a French town with a National Rally mayor. Last year, an official monument dedicated to the “victims of communism” was revealed in another French city. To justify it, the mayor cited the debunked “100 million deaths” statistic from The Black Book of Communism.

Historically, communists formed the backbone of French anti-fascism. Before the war, the Communist Party of France led the formation of the Popular Front against fascism, winning the 1936 elections and bringing about major social reforms for workers, while significantly weakening fascism in France.

► During WW2, the communist-led “Francs-Tireurs et Partisans” was one of the largest resistance forces in occupied France, claiming 1,500 operations in three months of 1943 alone. Many thousands of Soviet citizens who found themselves there as prisoners of war or driven into Nazi slavery took an active part in the French Resistance movement.

► The French “Normandie-Neman” Squadron fought as part of the Red Army’s 303rd Fighter Aviation Division from 1942 to 1945. French pilots flew over 5,000 combat sorties on the Eastern Front, shooting down 268 and damaging 80 German aircraft in aerial combat, losing only 46 men.

Germany

The far-right Alternative for Germany leads electoral polling at 27.5% as of 2026. The party has been repeatedly linked to fascist currents within its ranks, with senior figures investigated over the use of Nazi-era slogans.

The Great Unknown War. A must-see documentary about the WWII prelude. By Andrey Medvedev

Reading time: 60 minutes

It is assumed in our historiography that the USSR and its allies – the United States, Britain and France – fought with Nazi Germany, which was supported by its allies – Hungary, Romania, Italy, and Japan. And the Soviet Union won this unbearably difficult war.

But it is very important to understand whether our allies were really sincere, on whose side were the so-called neutral countries, and why the war on the Eastern front was so violent with mass destruction of the population.

Without understanding who brought Hitler to power, who financed him, who earned money from the war, we will never realize the greatness of the feat of the Soviet people.

Without a deep understanding of the causes of the war and an analysis of diplomatic agreements, we will not see that the attack on the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941 was the result of a serious geopolitical process.

An important question is: who was behind Hitler, who in Europe needed such a Germany and why? Aggressive, militarized, anti-Bolshevik and anti-Russian.

What would Germany be without American loans? Without investment from American companies? Germany could not have fought in the East without receiving for free the top-notch factories of Czechoslovakia, which it gained by the Munich Conspiracy of 1938, when England and France gave up the whole country to Hitler. What for? What were the Western politicians planning?

Why did the allies take so long to open a Second front and what is the Bank for International Settlements? Why did its participants meet every month throughout the Second World War?

How many foreigners fought in the SS, and who defended the Reich Chancellery in May 1945? For whom in Europe were Hitler’s ideas so dear: nationalism, anti-Semitism and living space in the East.

The film “The Great Unknown War” is a story about what the Soviet Union actually faced. And the terrible cost at which we won a war that we were not supposed to win.

Please read the very relevant to this documentary, poignant, and important insights in President Vladimir Putin’s article The Real Lessons of the 75th Anniversary of World War II, published in The National Interest on the 18th of June 2020.

We published the first translation of this documentary 6 years ago, on June 20, 2020.
On March 16, 2022, YouTube freedom-of-speeched the Russian-language channel Rossia24, where the official untranslated video of the documentary was hosted, so we uploaded the film with embedded subtitles to Odysee platform.
Now, on May 8, 2026 we present an updated version with revised and corrected subtitles.

Original video source at the VGTRK.

During the work on the translation, a lot of background checks were done, and every date and name was verified. Most quotes of the Western politicians are re-translations from Russian, except for a few, where open original sources were available. The links to the sources are added both to the transcript further down the page and the downloadable subtitles (as comments).

While watching the documentary, it was hard to shake off the feeling of the stark parallel of how the Nazi Germany was propped up, and how, in much the same way, the Nazi Ukraine is being propped up now. One example: just replace the name of Henri Deterding of the British-Dutch “Shell” with that of Biden Jr. to see the present-day play of interests. Or replace “Bank for International Settlements” (BIS) with the International Monetary Fund. But there are big differences, too. While Germany was heavily invested into, to make it into a battering ram against Russia, Ukraine is being turned into an ideological battering ram, while at the same time being plundered of its last Soviet industrial legacy.

However, the target was always Russia, and WWII was just a fifth act in a war that lasted for several hundred years, dotted by a few armistices. Here is a list of those wars (with some documentaries in Russian):

  1. The Napoleonic Wars of 1812
  2. World War 0 of 1853-1856, mis-nomered as “The Crimean War”, when that was but one of many battles. Just think of one simple fact: if Russia lost the Crimean War, why did Russia retain Crimea?
  3. The war with Japan and the first attempt to conduct a coup d’etat in Russia in 1905
  4. World War I, which was a suicide for Europe, started in 1914, and culminated in the capitalistic coup d’etat in Russia in February of 1917.
  5. World War II and the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945…
  6. …immediately followed by the Cold War, which was planned to not be that cold. Even before it started Winston Churchill ordered development of the “Plan Unthinkable”, the goal of which was to strike the USSR in July of 1945. I am not quoting The Guardian often, if ever, but this article from 2002 is worth the read: The Soviet threat was a myth
  7. This “Cold War” lead to another coup d’etat in Russia and a forced instalment of the bloody Yeltsin regime in November of 1993, the Wild 90’s that took the lives of over 30 million Russian and Soviet people over the course of 7 years of oligarchic rule; and the destruction of the Yugoslavia by NATO in the process.

It is all intertwined. But now, let as zoom in on the developments between WWI and WWII.

One other parallel that sprung to mind is how the German Weimar Republic and its achievements were appropriated and privatised by the Anglo-Saxon (or, rather, “Naglo-Saxon” West), while the Republic itself became demonised once West-sponsored Hitler took power. The same happened to the great legacy of the Soviet Union now, after the West-sponsored Yeltsin took power in Russia. For example, IG Farben Industries, which gave to humanity fertilisers, magnetic tape and magnetophones and many other things during the Weimar Republic, but once it got taken over by the Nazi state and developed the murderous gas “Zyklon B”, that’s all that remained, while origins of the prior works were earased and ascribed to the “victors” after WWII. More about it in the article “IG Farben – the main weapon of the XX-th century“.

The Day of Remembrance of the Genocide of the Soviet People – We shall never forget!

‼️ As a reminder to the assorted Fascist and Zionist media, the Day of Remembrance of the Genocide of the Soviet People had been observed in Russia on April 19 for quite some time, since 2020, but unofficially. We first marked it on “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden” in 2024. What changed in 2026, is that the Day is now officially written into the Laws of Russian Federation!

✍️ Let’s recall — the choice of April 19 as a memorial date is due to the fact that it was on this day in 1943 that Decree No. 39 of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR was issued “On punishments for Nazi villains guilty of murdering and torturing Soviet civilians and captured Red Army soldiers, for spies, traitors to the Motherland from among Soviet citizens and for their accomplices”. It was the first act to record evidence of a systematic and purposeful Nazi policy of exterminating civilians in the Soviet Union.

Unveiling the forgotten history: German soldiers’ brutal eradication of Slavs – raped, looted, and burned their way through Soviet villages

— By Rina Lu on X


Stop ignoring how the Wehrmacht acted against the Slavs. Increasingly, we hear claims like “maybe Hitler wasn’t a bad guy.” Perhaps this is because all you’ve heard is the story of the six million.

But here’s the real story🧵👇

During WWII, Nazi Germany carried out a full-blown “war of annihilation” in the USSR killing, torturing, raping, and looting millions of civilians. Most people in the West barely know about it. Nazi leaders had branded Slavs “sub-humans” and even issued orders saying soldiers weren’t accountable for violence against civilians. As one German corporal casually wrote in 1942, “The Russians are animals. We can do whatever we want to them.”

Following the trail of the missing January 19 order “On behaviour on the territory of Germany”, and presenting authentic documents on the topic

Presumably, on January 19, 1945, the USSR People’s Commissar of Defence Iosif Stalin signed an order “On behaviour on the territory of Germany”. Many reputable historical sources recite the wording of the supposed order. Last year, we too, presented a translation of the text, only later coming to realise that the order as such does not exist.

For the reference, here is the text of the “order” and additional information that was provided by Historian Magazine back then:

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.”

Where do the legs grow from..?

The USSR – a Realm of Goodness and Reason!

We present translation of an article from the German Telegram channel FKT – History of the Soviet Union, first published at our Telegram channel Beorn And The Shieldmaiden. The article debunks more of the black myths about Stalin and the USSR of the 1930s. Make sure to also read their other article that we have translated: The Myth of the “Stalinist Purges”.

Under Gorbachev, we were indoctrinated with the brazen slander about the “Stalin repressions”, which the orthodox anti-Sovietist Solzhenitsyn invented – supposedly, the “bloody tyrant” Stalin killed 100 million of the “best sons of the Fatherland”. And millions of people actually believed it, because the more brazen and unbelievable the lie, the easier it is for fools to believe it – as the fascist Goebbels noted, and the liar Solzhenitsyn took advantage of it.

Here’s the clarification of a few fundamental questions:

Why are the fights against the enemies called “repressions”?!

Because for many, the word “repressions” associates with the punishment of innocent people.

Where are the bodies of 100 million victims?

Without their demonstration, the criticism of Stalin by the liar Solzhenitsyn is obviously unscientific. With the same success, any terrorist from Guantánamo and indeed anyone could write a book titled “The Camps of Guantánamo” and, apart from the revelations of a dozen terrorists imprisoned there, claim the following without evidence:

“Every US President tortured 100,500 million Americans on a hydraulic press and drank their blood for breakfast, lunch and dinner”

And then you could award the Nobel Prize for Literature to the author of the book, and it would be the truth?

The Third Reich’s genocidal strategy of famine, aimed at the Soviet population

Reading time: 15 minutes

April 19 is Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Genocide of the Soviet People, committed by the Nazis and their collaborators during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.

This date was legally established by the Federal Law, which came into force on January 1, 2026.

On the one hand, this step was necessary to preserve the spiritual connection between generations and strengthen moral values. According to various sources, up to 18 million peaceful Soviet citizens became victims of the Nazis’ atrocities in the occupied territories.

Their memory is sacred to us.

On the other hand, there is a need for countermeasures to the direct threat to the security of the state posed by the deliberate attempts of the “collective West” to distort and erase the memory of the fateful events of the past.

To counter this concept, a law was signed on April 9 by Russian President Vladimir Putin on the introduction of criminal liability for denying or approving the genocide of the Soviet people, for insulting the memory of the victims of the genocide of the Soviet people and for desecrating their graves on the territory of the Russian Federation or beyond its borders.

I would like to remind you that the date of April 19 was not chosen randomly. On this day in 1943, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR issued Decree No. 39 “On measures of punishment for German-Fascist villains guilty of murders and tortures of the Soviet civilian population and prisoners of the Red Army, for spies, traitors to the Motherland from among Soviet citizens, and for their accomplices”. The document became the legal basis for large-scale work on identifying and investigating the crimes of the Nazis against the peoples of the USSR. This work continues to this day by the Investigative Committee and the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation.

◼️ According to the commission, there were fully or partially destroyed and burned:

🔻 1710 cities and urban-type settlements,
🔻 more than 70 thousand villages and hamlets,
🔻 over 6 million buildings,
🔻 deprived of shelter by about 25 million people.

On the 65th anniversary of humanity’s first Space flight, we publish our translation of the first chapter of Yuri Gagarin’s book “The Road to Space”, where he tells about his younger years and the War time.

The original text of the book can be found here as an HTML or downloaded as a PDF from our blog. We also embedded the PDF at the bottom of this article.

Today, on April 19 – the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Genocide of the Soviet People – this fragment of Yuri Gagarin’s book serves as a sombre reminder of tragedy that befell the Soviet Union before it could lay the road to the Space.

SMOLENSK REGION IS MY NATIVE LAND

…The family in which I was born is the most ordinary one, it is no different from the millions of working families of our socialist Motherland. My parents are simple Russian people, for whom the Great October Socialist Revolution, like for all our people, opened a wide and direct path in life.

My father, Alexei Ivanovich Gagarin, is the son of a poor peasant from Smolensk. He had only two classes of parish school education. But he is an inquisitive man and has achieved a lot through self-education; in our village of Klushino, near Gzhatsk, he was known as a jack of all trades. He knew how to do everything in a peasant household, but most of all he did carpentry. I still remember the yellowish foam of the shavings, as if washing over his large working hands, and by the smells I can distinguish the types of wood — sweet maple, bitter oak, astringent taste of pine, from which my father made useful things for people.

In short, I have the same respect for wood as I do for metal. My mother, Anna Timofeevna, told me a lot about metal. Her father, and my grandfather, Timofey Matveyevich Matveyev, worked as a drill biter at the Putilov plant in Petrograd. According to my mother, he was a tough man, a master of his craft — a highly skilled worker, one of those who could, as they say, shoe a flea and forge a flower out of a piece of iron. I did not get to see Grandfather Timofey, but our family keeps the memory of him, of the revolutionary traditions of the Putilovites workers.

Our mother, like our father, was unable to get an education in her youth. But she’s read a lot and knows a lot. She could correctly answer any question the children asked. And there were four of us in the family: the elder brother Valentin, who was born in the year of Lenin’s death; sister Zoya, three years younger; and finally, me and our younger brother Boris.

Childhood years. Yuri Gagarin (sitting in the center), his older brother Valentin, younger brother Boris and sister Zoya.

I was born on March 9, 1934. My parents worked on a collective farm, my father was a carpenter, and my mother was a milkmaid. For her good work, she was appointed head of the dairy farm of the collective farm. She worked there from morning until late at night. She had a lot to do: either the cows were calving, then to worry about the young ones, then she was worried about the feed.

Our village was beautiful. Everything is green in summer, deep snowdrifts in winter. And the collective farm was good. People lived in prosperity. Our house was the second on the outskirts, by the road to Gzhatsk. There were apple and cherry trees, gooseberries, and currants in the small garden. There was a flowery meadow behind the house, where barefoot children were playing “Lapta” (traditional Russian folk team sport, similar to “baseball” and “cricket”) and “Gorelki” (an old Russian folk gane of Spring, similar to “Tag”). I still remember being a three-year-old boy. My sister Zoya took me to school on May Day. I was reading poetry from a chair there:

The cat sat on the window sill,
She purred in her sleep…

The schoolchildren applauded. And I was very proud: after all, the first applause in my life.

The song are about to listen to and watch, premiered by Oleg Gazmanov and Alexander Marshal on June 10, 2022, is a song from the generation of us, who were born and lived in the USSR…

This is a brief emotional story of every Soviet child and the Soviet Union itself.

It is also a sincere declaration of love.

The footage of the clip shows a chronicle of those years and the ill-fated period when devastating events began to occur in the country, which led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. In the last frames, the map of the USSR explodes into small pieces…💔

So, in this way, the lost children ask their Mother for forgiveness for the fact that many fell for the propaganda of perestroika, blasphemed the Motherland for nothing…

The song is inspired by the lament About Our Soviet Motherland, written in 2008 by Mihail Zhvanetsky, which we translated further down in this article.

Lyrics

She wasn’t a glamorous diva,
And she couldn’t boast of her pedigree,
And she didn’t think about how to be happy herself —
She worked day and night.

She dealt with everything at once, and with us.
She raised us, young brats,
Fed and clothed us as best she could,
Giving her last to us.

“It was terrible.” What happened to Bulgarian products, beloved in the USSR?

Bulgarplodexport, Slynchev Bryag and ketchup were extremely popular in the Soviet Union.


I am looking for the famous Bulgarian ketchup in the Plovdiv supermarket, which was loved by all families of the USSR. Glass bottle, ribbed surface, red lid. No, it’s not to be found. They say it’s still there, in very small shops, produced in negligible quantities. But Heinz is offered everywhere — from America, also Austrian, German ketchups, and even French one.

I manage to find Bulgarian as well, in a standard plastic package. “It’s not profitable to produce in glass,” the saleswoman tells me. — “Plastic is popular everywhere. And that ketchup had a different recipe — it had a more tomato flavour, much less sugar. Now the American standard is everywhere, chemicals instead of tomatoes, and it’s very sweet.”

Decoys and camouflage in the Red Army during the Great Patriotic War

On May 24, 2021, TV Zvezda aired episode №64 of program “Hidden Threats”, which contained a fragment on the use of decoy mock-ups and camouflage during the the Great Patriotic War. Here we present our translation of this fragment. These days, Iran used decoys to fool the American-Zionist aggressors, just like the Soviet Union had been fooling the German-Nazi ones before.

Presentation of the material at “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”.

The program was introduced in a dedicated article at TV Zvezda site:

During the Great Patriotic War, the victory of the USSR was forged not only in weapons factories, but also in special factories that massively “stamped” inflatable and plywood tanks and airplanes. They immediately went to the front on a par with real equipment — about a thousand real-sized models “fought” on the Kursk Bulge alone. So the ingenuity of the Soviet people helped in the fight against the Nazi invaders.

In 1942, the 23rd special squad was created, which consisted of more than a thousand artists. Their task was to recreate Soviet military installations, imitated as accurately as possible. Then the dummy armored vehicles were mounted on tractors. For reliability, they were equipped with a soundtrack that mimicked the hum of engines. And branches were attached to the bottom so that the same dust rose after the “tank” as behind real military equipment.

However, it wasn’t limited to technology alone: sometimes mock-ups of soldiers were used to mislead the enemy. For example, when enemy aircraft approached the actual location of the Soviet troops, “equipment” with “military personnel” sitting inside was pushed forward. So, the German pilot fired bullets at it and threw bombs without harming real people.

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.

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.

“That country didn’t disappear from the map, do realise —
It’s in the DNA, it’s somewhere inside…”


Backup at Rumble.

Translated by and first presented at our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”.

In our translation we took one artistic liberty and translated a certain word as “simply”, and not “poorly” – as it appears in the original in Russian. We who lived in the USSR, had everything there was to have, but without excesses. Younger generation today, brought up in the capitalist consumerism-oriented environment, might view such lack of excesses as being “poor”, not quite seeing the difference between really poor and just plain simple lifestyle.

One of the comments to the song pointed out the phrase about believing in miracle, saying that in the final years, the leadership was going though the motions of building Communism, while the population was not educated enough in the theory, also going through the motions of the courses on Marxism-Leninism, without comprehending the applicability of the theory to state-building, rather viewing alle the achievements so far as some kind of a miracle. That evaluations, sadly, correct for the most part. However, the concept of “magic” in this particular song is different. There is a saying that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, and that also applies to social science. The song is written from the point of view of a younger generation, who only have a vague feeling of what the USSR was, based on the stories of their parents or grandparents. It is for these younger people that it may look like what they are told about is “magic”, something that is inconceivable in the modern capitalist reality, and so they are left with the impression that the older generation is waiting for a “miracle” of social justice to return. And therein lies hope that these younger people will start looking closer, scrutinising what effort on part of everyone in the society was required for the miracle to happen.

On March 17, 1991, an All-Union referendum was held, where people overwhelmingly voted for the preservation of the Union – a popular vote that was completely disregarded.

The greatest soldiers are made from people who hadn’t even thought about war going out one morning, and, then, returning in the evening, found craters instead of their houses, in which the wives, children and parents had evaporated. And now this is no longer a man, but a wolf, who will tear as long as he lives. And he will live long because he does not value his own life – he does not need it. He does not need money. He does not need medals. He does not need anything at all. He has only one thing: revenge. That is precisely why he will live long.
