Dear Comrades & Friends
When I was young, I remember a number of Middle Eastern countries beginning their news bulletins with words referring to the “Satan in the White House” – and finishing with a dramatic “Death to the West!” We took it all in good humour – after-all – god is an Englishman and we never do any wrong. Although those days are gone – as the buffeting and protecting USSR and Communist bloc is no more – it could be said that the US definitely does now have a “Satan in the White House”! I would also place Obama right up there with both Bush’s contesting second place. Lincoln might be a close third. But I digress. During Trump’s first-term (Trump I) he was all about suppressing free speech. This blog was attacked by the US government along with millions of others. Software programmes attacked social media platforms often without the knowledge or consent of the owners. It was only after Trump lost, left office and his voice suppressed on social media that he suffered an about face and became all about “free speech” – but he is up to his fascistic tricks yet again! I cannot post any videos of the 81st Victory Parade that I have lifted from Telegram. When I attempt this – the video comes up “Private” and cannot be accessed by any viewers (the controls still say “public” and nothing can be altered, etc). So, yet again the US finds itself at the forefront of all reaction, revisionism, and dare I say it – blatant fascist oppression! We must work around this new threat to freedom. The US, UK, and EU have granted Neo-Nazi Ukraine billions in finance and more aggressive weaponry to attack Russia. Trump is directly behind this and this is why he does not want you hearing or seeing President Putin talk on May 9th – the video is suppressed like all the others. Instead, I will provide you with the written speech. On this day (May 9th 2026) the Army of North Korea participated to mark the sacrifice its soldiers made in freeing Kursk (the DPRK seems to treat modern Russia as the USSR). Onwards and upwards! The working class can meet and overcome all difficulties. Greetings to the millions of comrades in the US who reject Trump but whose voice is also suppressed. We hear you! All over Russia and in many other places throughout the world – large and small, private or public, millions came together to collectively celebrate and remember the Soviet victory over fascism. This was the victory of the progressive, international workers over regressive nationalistic fascism! ACW (10.5.2026)
Vladimir Putin’s speech at the military parade on Red Square marking the 81st anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War:
I congratulate you on Victory Day, on our holy, sacred, and most important holiday.
We celebrate it with a sense of pride and love for our country, with understanding of our common duty to defend the interests and the future of our Motherland. We mark it with gratitude of true sons of the great generation of victors.
We honour the legacy left by the soldiers of Victory. Caring about the Fatherland unites our entire country, the people of Russia, and preserving the memory of the events of the Great Patriotic War, of its true history, of its true heroes, is a matter of honour for us.
We will always remember the heroic deeds of the Soviet people, because the Soviet people made the decisive contribution to defeating Nazism. The Soviet people saved their country and saved the world. They put an end to the total evil and brought the sovereignty to those states that surrendered to Nazi Germany and turned into accomplices of its crimes.
Our soldiers suffered huge losses and made huge sacrifices in the name of freedom and dignity of the peoples of Europe. They have become the model of heroism and courage, of fortitude and humanity, and it brought to the Soviet people the great honour of a great Victory.
