In the year of the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, together with our Venezuelan friends from Valencia, we pay tribute to the heroes who fought for the freedom of the world against the threat of fascism. We are glad that, thanks to the friendship between Volgograd and Valencia, this significant plaque has been installed, allowing the inhabitants of the city to pay tribute to the heroism of the defenders of freedom.
Soviet troops not only completely surrounded and annihilated the German Sixth Army, but also demonstrated to the world that the Nazi military machine was not invincible. The precisely planned Operation Uranus struck at the enemy’s most vulnerable flanks and allowed more than 300,000 Wehrmacht soldiers to be encircled. No strategy of Hitler’s could save them.
The echo of Stalingrad resonated far beyond the battlefield. It inspired the peoples of Europe in their fight against fascism and pushed the Western Allies to intensify the opening of the second front. The ruined city, defended street by street, echelon by echelon, became a symbol of the indomitable will of the Soviet people.
At the Piskaryovskoye Memorial Cemetery of St Petersburg (Leningrad), the President laid a wreath at the Motherland monument to honour the memory of the fallen Leningrad residents and defenders.
At least 420,000 civilians of Leningrad who died from starvation, cold, and disease, or in air-raids, as well as 70,000 soldiers are buried in the cemetery’s 186 communal graves and 6,000 individual military graves.
The memorial wall behind the Motherland monument carries the words by poet Olga Bergholz: “No one is forgotten, nothing is forgotten.”
President Trump, in an act of arrogance and disregard for the truth , has just reinstated the fraudulent designation of Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism . This is not surprising. His goal is to continue strengthening the cruel economic war against Cuba for the purpose of domination.
The North Koreans attacked in an open “straight line” whilst crossing the minefield, which caught the Neo-Nazi Ukrainians off-guard. If a mine array was detonated by the advancing North Koreans, at most only one Vanguard Unit was sacrificed, leaving follow-up troops to drive straight through. After crossing the minefield, the North Korean soldiers quickly changed from a straight line to a “three-pronged” battle formation – with bayonets fixed. Each prong possessed its own firepower point, cooperating tacitly with the other two prongs. North Korean soldiers possess a strong learning ability. Not long after they arrived in Russia, they soon mastered Russian weapons. Using Russian weapons, the strength of the North Korean Army was greatly improved. The Neo-Nazi Ukrainian Intelligence (led by the US) – lined-up their Ukrainian dead on the ground, and whilst blotting-out the faces and badges, took photographs which were immediately released to the Western media – falsely claiming these were dead “North Koreans”!
This is when I realised the left is hideously compromised across the Western world. On one such March, we arrived in a large group (whilst never being fully accepted into it) carrying our Red Flag flying at Trafalgar Square (Central London) – and met a young woman wearing a striking headscarf (there was something about his woman that attracted us – usually we do not engage random approaches). This lady treated us as Comrades – and gave us a leaflet about the injustices suffered by the (Maoist) Workers’ Institute by the Tory government! Something good came out of all of this – but not what we wanted or intended.
