International Day of the Midwife! (5.5.2022)
Falling into mutually opposing camps of aggression is exactly what the Bourgeoisie wants and craves (and is the essence of Bourgeoise feminism)! No. We must work together to overthrow the ignorance of capitalism and the religious stupidity that led to Midwives being burnt at the stake during Medieval times because the feudal Church could not tolerate the idea of empowered women helping one another during the child-birth process!
USSR: SS Gruppenfuehrer – Police Lieutenant General Hans Baur – Recalls Hitler’s Last Moments and Suicide! (29.4.2022)
As he wrote during interrogation, until the very end of April 1945, Hitler’s inner circle, who was next to him in the Reich Chancellery bunker in Berlin, did not know the Fuhrer’s final intentions.
“Only on April 30, in the afternoon, he called me together with my adjutant, Colonel Betz. Hitler met me in the hallway and led me to his room. He shook my hand and said: “Baur, I want to say goodbye to you, I want to thank you for all the years of service,” the ex-pilot recalled.
“He was very old and haggard. His hands were trembling, it was clear to me that they had made the final decision to commit suicide,” the military man recalled.
Hitler told him that he wanted to donate his favourite painting as a keepsake – a portrait of King Frederick the Great by Rembrandt that hung in his room. Baur tried to dissuade Hitler from committing suicide, “because then everything will fall apart in a few hours.”
“My soldiers can’t and don’t want to hold on anymore. I can’t take it anymore,” Hitler replied.
He went on to say that “the Russians are on Potsdamer Platz” and could capture him alive, allegedly using sleeping gas. Hitler added that he ordered to burn his corpse and the corpse of his wife Eva Braun, because he was afraid that they would be hanged for show, as the Italian partisans had previously hanged the corpse of the leader of fascist Italy, Benito Mussolini.

Moscow’s Victory Museum Opens a Study of Ukrainian Nazism Past and Present in its ‘Ordinary Nazism’ Exhibition! (19.4.2022)
She added that now – the Nazi ideology has begun to be presented differently. Now it penetrates society, in particular, with the help of the media. “No matter how wild and scary it may sound, today we are talking about Nazism not as a dysfunctional and disastrous element of necessarily defeated history, but rather as a version or interpretation of ‘normalised’ modernity!” Klevtsovskaya said.
