In 1945, the USSR delegation insisted that the principles of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all, without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion, be included in the UN Charter.
This stemmed from Joseph Stalin advocating that the tactical mode of conventional “artillery attack” could be effective if used in a massive, highly focused, and overwhelming manner. Massed (smaller) Soviet artillery guns had the effect of successfully suppressing the fire-power of the Nazi German Army by peppering its formations in a relentless and destructive manner (massacring the Gustav Ground Crews and destroying the stockpiles of stored ammunition). This increased the survival rate of the numerically superior Soviet Red Army – and quickly defeated the Nazi German enemy. Therefore, the Soviet Military Factories operated at full capacity and manufactured a large number of weapons and ammunition for the Soviet Red Army on the front line, including 90,000 artillery pieces of various types.
If the Soviet Red Army had suffered debilitating casualties – then it is highly likely that Winston Churchill’s suggested 1945 attack on the Soviet Armed Forces by the Western Allies – would have materialised! The Armed Forces of the Western Allies would have attacked the Soviet Red Army across the Berlin-divide – thus redefining and extending WWII. In the above video, the Western Allies are fawning over the USSR – as the intended Soviet sacrifices have not yet ended. The hypocrisy is tangible through the visual images. The demonisation of Joseph Stalin would ratchet-up considerably post-1945 in Washington (and its satellites) – but at the time this video was filmed – both the Western leaders understand the importance of the Soviet contribution. Later, Joseph Stalin had this ornate sword handed to a Soviet orphan – whose parents had been killed by the Nazi Germans.
If Waterfield is wrong about the reality of the USSR – how can he be trusted to formulate a reliable biography about Plato? Stalin possessed no real power as an elected General Secretary. His elected post was one of “Regulation” – as all the decisions formulated by the numerous Committees (controlled by the workers) were passed through his Office for application and ideological verification. Suspect, incomplete or badly formulated decisions were “Returned” to the various Committees for reconsideration. Waterfield pursues a disturbing agenda which all readers must be suspicious of.
After killing and maiming around 41 million Soviet men, women and children in the USSR, and despite the advancing Red Army losing one hundred thousand troops a week – a score had to be settled whilst the Western Allies held their forces back in the West to await developments. Hitler’s fanatical troops had to be ground-down almost street by street! Indeed, it is said by British historian – Hugh Trevor-Roper – that it was a Soviet Army Medical Unit comprised of ‘armed’ female Soviet Nurses that first made their way into the Reich Chancellery Garden. These brave women had to defend themselves from Snipers and Nazi German troops – whilst tasked with searching-out and treating any men, women or children they found – regardless of ethnicity. Proof of this lies in the fact that these women advanced ahead of the Soviet Red Army.
The available source texts from time portray and reveal this reality. There is no talk of pogroms, gulags, oppressions and purges – although it is true that the US took the side of Trotsky. How odd it is then, to bear witness to a deluge of post-1945 texts which serve to construct an alternative history that would have the unsuspecting reader to believe that whilst Roosevelt was chatting with Stalin and Harpo was making Soviet Generals ‘laugh’ – that most of the population of the USSR lived in Prison Camps and that Stalin was personally involved in a famine he had deliberately caused in (Catholic) West Ukraine! Interestingly, the US Philosopher – Will Durant – who could not read, write or speak Russian, visited the USSR in 1933 (the year of Roosevelt’s Diplomatic Mission) – and claimed a Russian peasant woman stated to him that life was terrible. When asked to produce this woman, he could not – and neither could he explain how he understood or communicated with this woman. Durant appears to be a foreshadowing of the disinformation that was to come out of the US – post-1945.
