The content reviews Alexander Werth’s experience in the USSR during 1942, emphasizing his perspective on the pivotal Battle for Stalingrad. Werth’s proximity to the Soviet media and front-line individuals makes his narrative valuable amid Western-dominated narratives. The author emphasizes the indispensable role of the Communist Party in the Soviet people’s resistance against fascism.
This content discusses a chapter from Alexander Werth’s book, ‘The Year of Stalingrad,’ which provides an insightful portrayal of WWII events concerning the Soviet Union. It highlights Werth’s journey in the PQ-16 convoy from Murmansk to Moscow, offering readers an in-depth view of the war from an ordinary Soviet citizen’s perspective. Despite his work being overlooked due to his left-wing views and refusal to entertain anti-Soviet propaganda during the Cold War, the narrative praises his bravery and sincerity.
The Russian Arctic Convoy, PQ-16, sailed from Iceland to the Soviet Union in late May 1942, providing vital military and civilian aid amid attacks by Nazi Germany. The fleet comprised British, American, and Allied ships, including the Empire Baffin that Alexander Werth traveled on for four weeks as recorded in his book ‘The Year of Stalingrad’. This account, along with further research, allows for a timeline to be reconstructed for these events, however, full details are limited due to the secrecy required during wartime. Convoy PQ-16 consisted of 36 Merchant Navy vessels, some armed for self-defense, and a number of Royal Navy ships acting as protection. Werth’s account also mentions controversial language used to describe the African-descendent members of the Merchant Navy crew.
The post discusses the evolution of Church and State separation, highlighting pivotal moments such as the execution of King Charles I, the American Revolution, and the French Revolution. The text also underscores similar observations by Marx and Engels in their “Communist Manifesto.” It stresses that religion wasn’t banned but separated from secular politics, evolving into non-influential, private pursuits in contemporary society—like China, Cuba, the US, et cetera. It concludes by criticizing US misrepresentation of religious freedom under Socialism.
The Tories want to keep this sudden influx of riotous Hong Kong Chinese an open secret so as to avoid a right-wing backlash. Those who have betrayed a Socialist China (for the “King’s Shilling” so-to-speak) will soon learn the hard way the realities of racism once the honeymoon period is over – and the Tories nolonger possess a pressing need to privilege and protect them! For the time being, these new Hong Kong arrivals are being told to congregate in Public Libraries and avoid any direct contact with the indigenous British population. Under no circumstance are they to interact and divulge their true identities. Just imagine if the UK sent thousands of its criminals to quietly infiltrate the society of China – hang on – we already did that (and termed it ‘Colonialism’) – silly me!
Flora Botton: Mexico and China have established diplomatic relations for more than 50 years. I am happy to say that Mexico and China have a lot of communication in all aspects, whether it is economic relations, political relations, or academic relations. Exchange students, scholarship establishment, visiting scholars, travel, language learning… all kinds of communications.
In ancient times, “sinologists” were scholars who spread Chinese culture by learning and translating Chinese. They specialized in the study of traditional Chinese culture. And now the term is widely used for any scholar who studies China, even contemporary China.
