Scientists have not found an answer to the most complex question of the universe - why did nature attach its head to the parishioners of the Church of Saints and Immaculate TV and the media!
But if all the politicians preaching on TV and leading nations and peoples to the carrot at the end of the tunnel, look closely with undisguised curiosity, follow, so to speak, the daily play of their organisms and what ideas the son of God is gushing with his mouth, what exactly is he fences the unfortunate electorate, it becomes clear that the scientific problem of the absence of a head or its presence will never be solved.
And what should be done to accelerate the rapid flow of our life into a not so regrettable future as a rich and well-fed present, and most importantly, to resolve the issue of brains and heads.
There are solutions!
a) Turn off the TV.
b) Shoot, then judge all the strategists of the demagoguery of modern politics for the slightest attempt to hang spaghetti on the brains of their injured nation, in the face of TV church listeners.
c) make the parishioners of the church think ... but this author was too much, this is from the realm of illusions ...
You can still lean against the wall journalists caught in nonsense, although this is too much, enough of their life hard labor.
And if a citizen, who did not have time to shoot himself with noodles from the TV, stops listening to the artistic whistle of politicians and starts thinking with his head, unlike a state husband, it must be said that disappointing pictures will gradually open before the amazed gaze of individuals.
The basis of the holy scriptures of the numerous new church is theirs, democratic, holy truth about Stalin and Hitler! Both tyrants, both murderers, both attacked each other, both went to war with each other. But Hitler is not as bad as he is today. Suddenly it turns out. And in general, Stalin started the war ...
Therefore, everything must be de-Soviet, de-communized. About Nazi Hitler they are silent.
One could say about the Nazis, and also denationalize, but the people will not understand the word so vague, and between us, the politicians - the church fathers, they are the shepherds of their people, will not understand either. They are worried about their households, who handle billions of honestly earned money, in very honestly privatized factories.
Therefore, laws are being adopted that are very necessary in this difficult time. Laws on decommunization, de-Sovietization. About a worthy meeting of the Holodomor Day.
Successfully fail the vote to ban the National Socialists, followers of Hitler.
The streets are renamed, the coats of arms of the USSR are knocked down, the swastika is not touched.
The true church reveals the truth to its parishioners that it was not the USSR led by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief that won the war, but the frost and corpses that were thrown at the European Union led by Hitler.
Well, the Bandera heroes helped out of the caches, with aviation and the navy, as without them.
The Stalinist economy is terrible for the world today. Stalin is not terrible, no. Its model of state structure and its economy, make you snore and look back, with horror, at the USSR of the Stalinist period.
Why are they distorting literally the entire history of the USSR Victory over a united Europe led by the chairman of the local European Union, Adolf Aloizych? The TV tells its parishioners: a revision of the results of the Victory is, they say, a revision of the unshakable borders that have developed after the Second World War.
Oh, I beg you, the borders are constantly being redrawn, and no one will squirt about this ...
The real reason, listen close here, next.
The facts that show and prove the superiority of the Stalinist economy over the capitalist are hushed up and distorted in every possible way. Hitler was brought to power by the capitalists, who immediately received huge military orders from their boyfriend. Say - the Germans voted in the elections.
So, Hindenburg appointed Hitler Chancellor of Germany three months before the elections, which were then won by the National Socialist Party, where Aloizych held the bump, in the sense that he was the fiercest.
About capitalist industry during the war. Here's the true truth. Taken from reference books !!!
Soviet designers were tasked with making weapons as cheap as possible, seeking to produce more tanks and aircraft for the same money, at the same production facilities available.
And they released the T-34. Constantly reducing the cost of its production.
Capitalist German designers working for the private firm MAN created the Panther, the best German BASIC medium tank. But, you pony-and-ma-ete, the private trader must earn! How? Yes, simple. The company made "Panther" XXX-suite package! Or premium. No, no leather seats.
The basic package included - a night sight, a necessary thing, although the tanks did not fight at night, devices for underwater driving, very unreliable stabilizers for shooting on the spot, and most importantly: an expensive tank undercarriage with a staggered arrangement of road wheels designed by G. Knipkamp provided good smoothness move, but it was easier to hang yourself than to replace the inner rollers during repairs.
And the price was also consistent ...
Tank "Panther" produced by a private company turned out to be very expensive. MAN was making money, the state was straining. As a result, with the same material costs, Germany produced much fewer tanks and aircraft, with all the economic power of Europe behind it.
We explain to the parishioners of the TV church and others who were wounded in the brain by the TV - the mass and simple weapons, the best at that time, won, and not all these FAUs, Bertha, Moussy, jet planes of that time, which cost a lot of money in private companies, and nothing decided ...
Now, one academician-historian sarcastically explained the delusions to your author:
"All soviet designers sat on trumped-up charges and worked in jails, NKVD sergeants stabbing all the engineers in the teeth with a revolver and forced them to plow the color of design ideas for a bowl of gruel! As, for example, Deputy Aviation Commissar Balandin. That's why it's cheap."
Sorry, the author answers with dignity, everyone was in charge of the case, and by the verdict of the Soviet court, according to the laws of the USSR, adopted by the Supreme Soviet of the USSR.
For example, the most famous aircraft designer Tupolev sat down for embezzlement of public funds. I went on a business trip to the United States, with secretaries, fattened on public money for two months, bought a couple of refrigerators home, got dressed there, and the drawings of the plane, where the measurements were in foot-pounds, and it was more expensive to recount than to invent the same ...
Well, I stopped by the owner, for a bit ...
And about the labor of the prisoners. Until 1941, prisoners earned more than their guard.
Now the course of the war. Capitalist.
At the disposal of Germany were the human and material resources of the European countries occupied by it. In these countries, in June 1941, almost 6.5 thousand enterprises worked for the Wehrmacht. German industry employed 3.1 million foreign workers, mostly Poles, Italians and French, representing about 9 percent of its total workforce.
Czechoslovakia, Europe's second largest arsenal, surrendered instantly! Nobody conquered it. The fortifications in the Sudetenland were more powerful than the Maginot line. The army of Czechoslovakia was larger than the German one. It's just that Hitler ordered tanks, cars, weapons in Czechoslovakia, and the dying economy of the Czechoslovakians received a new development.
All European states, except England, Serbia and Greece, declared war on the USSR.
Neutral Turkey pulled back the troops of the USSR, there was no trust in the Turks.
Neutral Sweden supplied the Germans with steel.
Neutral Switzerland hid the money of the Nazis, and when the people of the USSR with their Stalinist economy drove Hitler to suicide, it sharply became one of the richest powers in the world.
And the USSR won! Everyone! Commander-in-Chief I. Stalin.
In 1941, the victorious Red Army, numbering 5 million people, was opposed by armies subordinated to Germany, with a total number of at least 11 million people. And if the number of German troops alone exceeded the number of Soviet troops by 1.6 times, then together with the troops of the European allies, it exceeded the number of Soviet troops by at least 2.2 times.
And all these hysterical tricks of politicians about the victorious, Stalinist economy is in many ways an amazing event.
Even more surprising is the fact that modern politicians and statesmen terribly hate Stalin, without understanding why. And they consider Hitler to be less terrible horror than I. Stalin.
Collective farms cause special bouts of rage among the adherents of the new church. Hunger, famine, exile of peasants, shooting of kulaks, hopeless darkness, cold and glad, and four horses on top ...
And then a malicious question to the priests of the new church.
Why in the Red Army, up to 80% of which consists of collective farmers, the mass heroism fell precisely on the soldiers from the peasants? How was Stalin able to force collective farmers from Central Asia and the Caucasus to die for Stalin and his collective farms? For what benefits? For what? For life in dugouts and hunger with famine? Shootings and exile?
They will say, you make a gap, the author, the goat muzzle, surrendered in packs and fought against the collective farms.
For those killed in the head by the TV - unkillable statistics:
According to the German command and the estimates of Russian historians, the total number of representatives of the peoples of the USSR (within 1941) who were part of the armed formations on the side of Germany (Wehrmacht, SS troops, police) was: Russians - more than 300 thousand, Ukrainians - 250 thousand, Belarusians - 70 thousand, Cossacks - 70 thousand, Latvians - 150 thousand, Estonians - 90 thousand, Lithuanians - 50 thousand, peoples of Central Asia - approx. 70 thousand, North Caucasus and Transcaucasia - up to 115 thousand, other peoples - approx. 30 thousand (total about 1200 thousand people). Sometimes a large figure is indicated - 1.5 million people.
The population of the USSR in 1941 (June) was 196,716,000 people. Even one and a half million people is less than one percent of the traitors in the country!
And yet, hunger and collective farms. It is the collective farms that can bury the entire capitalist system. After all, the agriculture of the capitalists is wholly owned by one or two corporations, which are fully subsidized by the state.
And the collective farms are direct kapets to them. And further.
Thanks to the advantages of the socialist system, agricultural production reached the level of 1940 by 1948.
And under Stalin - "each collective farm household owned a subsidiary farm on a personal plot, a dwelling house, productive livestock, poultry and small agricultural implements"! It is in personal, private property!
And also: during the war, the PRICES for food did not grow, the communal flat, too, the ruble stood and did not devalue. There was no famine during the war. Production rates in production did not change from 1929 to 1961.
They changed, and Novocherkassk happened, with the amnestied Cossacks Panvitsa.
So, the adherents of de-Sovietization themselves cannot really explain their hatred of Stalin, anger towards their ancestors, intolerance of the Victory, their chla-phobia towards the USSR. They refer to TV and the good life under Hitler.
Due to the fact that this study can be considered a doctoral dissertation on de-Sovietization, we will finish it scientifically. A couple of sayings.
About Stalin who attacked Poland. Scientific quotation from the address to the nation on June 22, 1941 by the Chancellor of Germany, the Fuhrer, Hitler's Genosse.
"The victory in Poland, achieved exclusively by the forces of the German army, prompted me to again turn to the Western powers with a peace proposal."
It seems that Otto von Bismarck is credited with the following words:
“… You don't know this audience! Rothschild is, I can tell you, an incomparable brute. For the sake of speculation on the stock exchange, he is ready to bury the whole of Europe, but I am guilty ...? ... ". Bismarck, of course, is a Saldafon and a rude man, but how beautifully and succinctly he said.
The capitalist's personal interest will always be higher than the state's.
Therefore, suddenly, 63 years after the death of I. Stalin and the USSR, an orgy began to destroy the memory of the Stalinist economy and the creeping rehabilitation of the Hitler capitalist economy. Seemingly inexplicable ...
Once I. Stalin won ...
I will try to write the accumulated thoughts about revolutions, about political technologies and my conclusions about the ways of development. Already in the process of writing, I was faced with the fact that even having completely omitted the evidence part, I still cannot fit into one post and will have to split into several. So, part one "Russia and Germany. How a cat became a dog":
At school I did not like the subject "history". An overripe, plump woman with an unpleasant-looking skin and a shrill voice tediously talked about the affairs of some ancient dudes, demanding only stupid memorization of dates. It wasn't even boring because I wasn't even listening. Nobody was listening. They slapped a threefold, on that and fled. And then I no longer had the obligatory subject "history" and I lived happily without knowledge of the past for most of my life. I am sure many have had similar "teachers" and you will understand me.
I started thinking about the significance of history as a science when I was already quite an adult. When some political changes began in Russia and the world, references to the concept of "revolution" began, then I asked the first question, which gave me an interest in history as the most important tool for understanding the current situation and predicting future developments. That question sounded simply “Until 1917, for many hundreds of years, Russia was a monarchical state with a quite good economy, traditions and relatively stable political situations. ? ". I found the answer to this question by reading several articles about Lenin, Stalin, the First World War, the Second World War, about the political games of Germany and Russia, about the influence of the United States and a bunch of different notes. I must say that this greatly changed my vision of the situation and made it possible to take a different look at what is happening now.
As he wrote repeatedly: Russia and Germany at the beginning of the twentieth century are twin brothers, the countries are not just twinned, but literally literally two countries with the same EVERYTHING. This paradox is surprising in that just a few years before, Russia and Germany were bitter enemies. The German Empire of Bismarck and the Russian Empire of Nicholas II fought for life and death for their economic interests and claims to "disputable" (in fact, weakly armed) lands. But literally in 20-30 years, everything changed exactly the opposite (the first allusion to the revolution of 1017).
At about the same time, the monarchies are overthrown and both countries begin military industrialization and military build-up, which obviously speaks of preparations for a global world war. In both countries, immediately after the overthrow of the tsars, power passes into the hands of even revolutionary, but quite moderate forces, which prepared the ground for further economic growth of the country and for reconstruction after the war. And literally at the same time, power smoothly passes from the hands of moderate forces aimed at "licking their wounds" into the hands of extremists, militants and outright bandits. In Russia it is Lenin's terrorist cell, and in Germany it is the National Socialist Party. Moreover, the most surprising thing in this story is that even though these two political forces opposed themselves to each other (one of the reasons for Hitler's victory in the elections is a fierce criticism of the German Communist Party), they act with the same methods to the smallest detail, using the same political technologies. Hitler was elected as the monopoly chairman of the party only after his demonstrative "withdrawal" from it. Exactly the same story happens with Stalin: Lenin criticizes him in his letter, Stalin makes an offended face and allegedly leaves the party, but then he was "persuaded to return" and he becomes the sole "owner" of the only real political force in the country.
The entire history of the reign of Hitler and Stalin is replete with amazing coincidences. Both begin to physically eliminate their political opponents, both announce a total modernization of production and reorientation towards an increase in military potential, both at the end of the 30s begin an IDENTICAL expansion into Europe. I will not dwell on the proofs of these theses now, it will take a VERY long time and will require a truly gigantic work. Simply, if you decide to read about this period yourself, pay attention to the similarity of the methods and ways of development of two initially completely different states.
For me, these similarities served as a wake-up call that sang "and here, after all, not everything is clean." No, well, really, if a cat starts wagging its tail, running after a stick and writing on the trees with its paw raised, then you involuntarily wonder what happened to it. I'll say right away - I don't know exactly what happened to Germany or Russia, but there are very funny facts that Lenin was very active in Austria and Germany since the end of the 1890s, and later received serious financial subsidies from there. Exactly also there are facts that in the early 1920s, already Soviet Russia was very actively pushing its ideas into Germany and sharing resources. This despite the fact that the entire south of the future USSR did not even suspect that they belonged to the Soviets. That is, the new government in Russia paid Germany with which Russia did not have common borders, much more attention than that of Ukraine and Central Asia, with which there were borders. It's amazing why. And so in everything. I say - twin brothers.
That's all for now.
The history of the early 20th century may repeat itself again due to the collapse of the liberal world order.
Sometimes a certain event or the fate of a particular person becomes a symbol of a global, historical trend. The murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the consulate in Istanbul was one such moment.
It symbolizes the departure of the United States from the role of power that has held back evil actors in the world, writes the Washington Post.
There were other dire signals as well. ... The Myanmar military committed the genocide of the Rohingya people. In Syria, there is a deliberate and constant massacre of civilians with the use of even banned chemical weapons. Russia invaded Ukraine and occupied Crimea. The rise of right-wing radicals in Europe and other parts of the world is also associated with a loss of strength and vitality among democracies. Doubts about America have echoed across the planet for over 10 years, and the rest of the forces have begun to respond accordingly.
When Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban boasted about his “illiberal state” several years ago, he stressed that he was only reacting to new realities, namely, “a large redistribution of global financial, economic, trade, political and military power, which became apparent in 2008 year ".
“Congratulations on the decline of the liberal world order that the US once supported. And this is just the beginning, ”the newspaper writes.
The world order is one of those things that people don't think about until it disappears. This is the lesson America learned in the 1930s, when the old European order collapsed and the United States refused to intervene to support or replace it. It was then that the Americans realized that there will always be dangerous people in the world who lack the strength and capabilities to fulfill their plans. They can be suppressed by a justifiable stable international order. It doesn't matter if it is Rome, the united Christendom, the European concept of power, or any form of "civilization" in a certain place and at a certain time.
As long as the world order is strong, evil sits in the shadows, but never disappears. When the prevailing order falls apart, then the time comes when the shadow dissipates, and those dark sides of human nature that lived in it creep out.
This is exactly what happened in the first half of the 20th century. The conditions in which Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Benito Mussolini came to power were provided for a world in which no one wanted or could maintain some semblance of world order. This gave the bloody dictators a chance to show what they are capable of. If there was order to dispel their ambitions, the world would probably never have to deal with the bloody tyrants who went down in history as aggressors and mass murderers.
“Today the shadow dissipates again. Those who urge us to distance ourselves from the world and demonstrate greater restraint are telling us that we must accept the world as it is. But they have no idea what the world is really like, “as it is.” They grew up inside a bubble of protection created by the power of the US and the liberal world that it supported. In a world where other countries had to behave as they demanded those realities of power, ”the article says.
It was shaped by the convictions of its leaders about what the United States can or will have to put up with. They were guided by a sense of the strength and consolidation of the liberal order. The same applies to the behavior of China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and every state or non-state actor who may have looked for ways to undermine or overthrow the existing order. All of them would have behaved differently long ago if America and its allies also behaved differently.
Autumn of the 43rd year. The battle on the Kursk Bulge has just ended victoriously. The Red Army is advancing. Stalin invited the People's Commissar for State Security Vsevolod Merkulov and the head of the 4th intelligence and sabotage department of the NKVD Pavel Sudoplatov to his nearest dacha in Kuntsevo. The mood of both generals before the meeting was excellent. And it is no coincidence. Now they were finally confident that they would be able to carry out a very important order of the leader, which was given at the beginning of the war. The presentation was short but very convincing. At the end, Sudoplatov summed up:
Comrade Stalin, our scouts have come close to the object and are ready to fulfill your important task - to destroy the enemy of all mankind, Adolf Hitler.
Nikolay Dolgopolov
This operation was absolutely fair in its essence. And the fact that Joseph Vissarionovich ordered - did not even conceive - ordered to kill Hitler, it was, in my opinion, the decision is absolutely correct and just. The man who claimed millions of lives deserved retribution.
However, the answer of the leader after a long pause confused the Chekists. Stalin said that killing Hitler was not worth it. Ask the question "Why?" the generals did not risk it. But they did not completely curtail preparations for the operation either.
Pavel Sudoplatov
Soviet intelligence officer
Did we have such opportunities? It was possible to find, but for this there had to be an order. Without an order, such things are not done, cannot be done. It is possible and not in vain to do something.
The next report to Stalin was already in 1944: they say, everything is ready, we are only waiting for your go-ahead. And again, the leader forbids killing Hitler. Moreover, he orders to stop preparing for the special operation, and to recall the intelligence officer who was preparing the fateful attempt to his homeland.
So what happened? Why did Stalin cancel his order to destroy Hitler? Although he constantly followed the preparations for this most complex operation. What made the leader save the life of his main enemy?
The existence of the Stalinist plan to assassinate the Fuhrer was never mentioned in Soviet times. It was one of the specially protected state secrets. The prepared plan for the destruction of Adolf Hitler became known only when the Soviet Union was gone, and even then - in general terms. Today I will reveal all the intricacies of this unusual story, which has to do with the secrets of big politics.
The assassination attempt at the Bürgerbreukeller pub in the fall of 1939
They wanted to kill Adolf Hitler from the moment he came to power. In the 30s alone, at least 4 assassination attempts were made, which could take the life of the Fuhrer. The Soviet special services had nothing to do with them.
The most realistic attempt took place on November 8, 1939. A powerful explosion thundered in the famous Munich beer hall "Bürgerbreukeller", where Hitler performed every year on the occasion of the Beer Hall Putsch in 1923. The assassination attempt was staged by the lone anti-fascist Georg Elser. He prepared for his action for a long time and carefully.
Georg Elser became a regular at the pub, and in the evenings before it closed, he hid in the pantry, where rags and mops were kept.
When the hall was empty, Georg made his way to a huge concrete column, sheathed with wood panels, near which a tribune was usually installed. He made holes in the panels and placed explosives in the voids.
On the eve of Hitler's arrival, Elser set the clockwork at 21:20.
Nikolay Dolgopolov
Journalist, writer, deputy. editor-in-chief of "Rossiyskaya Gazeta"
He was sure that Hitler would act and stay there for at least an hour or at least 20 minutes, he had to destroy him in the 20th minute. And he destroyed other people, because Hitler left in the 15th minute unexpectedly and quickly. Hitler also approximately saved himself from other assassination attempts with his nasty animal instinct. He seemed to sense trouble, danger to himself. And this bestial instinct allowed him more than once or twice to escape from some events quite suddenly, on a whim, at which he should have been present to the end.
Konstantin Zalessky
Historian, journalist
Calculating the assassination attempts on Hitler is a very complex thing, and different researchers evaluate them differently. Usually, the figure is brought to 20-30 attempts, but not so long ago, another study was published in England. The researcher counted 50 attempts. Not those attempts that were committed on Hitler, but those attempts that someone conceived and, let's say, did not carry out, but took at least some steps towards this implementation.
How to get close to the Fuhrer if he is in Moscow
With the outbreak of World War II, Adolf Hitler's personal enemies became even more numerous. The order "Destroy the Fuhrer" in the fall of 1941 came from Stalin.
The first assassination attempt was being prepared in the winter of 1942, when our intelligence quite reasonably assumed that the Fuhrer, like Napoleon, would come to the Soviet capital in the event of the capture of Moscow and hold a parade on Red Square. A list of the parts that will participate in it was even compiled, and invitation cards have already been printed. It was on Red Square that they wanted to present a "surprise" to the Fuehrer. Special groups were created, several versions of this operation were developed. Everything was led by the head of a special group of the NKVD Pavel Sudoplatov.
Pavel Sudoplatov
Soviet intelligence officer
Moreover, immediately in my presence, an order was given: all heads of directorates of independent departments of the NKVD of the USSR to render me full assistance in all work. And I began to receive employees with agents that were in touch with them, (they) began to come at my disposal. I must say that this order was carried out, and nowhere in any case can I complain that I was denied anything.
I must say that the Soviet intelligence had the experience of such operations. So on September 21, 1941, a pre-mined observation deck in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra was blown up.
As a result, dozens of Wehrmacht staff officers were killed.
And on November 3, 1941, a sabotage group under the command of Captain Lutin blew up a radio explosive, which was laid in the Kiev Assumption Cathedral.
As a result of this action, about 20 senior German officers and generals were killed, and Gauleiter Erich Koch was seriously wounded.
In Moscow, Pavel Sudoplatov created three sabotage groups. They were supposed to destroy Hitler if he and his retinue appeared in the occupied capital of the USSR.
One of the groups included recruited musician Lev Knipper.
During the Civil War, he served with whites and therefore should not have aroused suspicion among the Germans. A person who is physically well prepared, an experienced climber.
Nikolay Dolgopolov
Journalist, writer, deputy. editor-in-chief of "Rossiyskaya Gazeta"
Knipper was ready to sacrifice his life. He himself was German, and it was believed that his own sister Olga Chekhova, who was recognized in Germany as an actress of the Reich - the highest rank that an actor could only receive - was indeed a member of some secular circles, was invited to receptions where Goering was, and Himmler, and even Hitler. This was some kind of, I would say, a real potentially feasible moment in order to find some kind of approach to Hitler, if he were in Moscow, and try to destroy him.
Olga Chekhova bore the name of her husband, the rising star of the Moscow Art Theater of the early 20th century, Mikhail Chekhov.
Russianized German, nee Knipper, she studied in the studio at this famous theater. After the revolution in the 20th she left for Germany. By the 30s, she made a brilliant career. She was close to Hitler, who called her his favorite actress. It was assumed that Olga would be able to arrange a meeting between her brother and the Fuhrer in Moscow, during which he could kill Hitler.
Alexander Korshunov
Historian, journalist
Interestingly, our famous intelligence officer Zoya Rybkina in her memoirs directly admitted that Olga Chekhova was doing her duty to the Motherland, i.e. we can consider this as a kind of recognition of her systemic involvement in work against the Nazis.
However, the Soviet capital was not surrendered to the Germans. And the plan to assassinate Hitler fell away by itself. But the beginning of the 42nd year turned out to be even more difficult and tragic for the country and the Red Army than the 41st. The Germans conquered new vast territories of the country. Under their thumb was Ukraine, the North Caucasus, 70 million Soviet people ended up in the occupied lands. Finally, the Nazis reached the Volga, tried to break through to the Transcaucasus - to Baku, the country's main fuel base.
Eliminate the beast in his lair
In the winter of 1942, Stalin summoned Pavel Sudoplatov and his deputy, Naum Eitingon. The order was short: to begin preparations for the operation to eliminate Hitler. Now in Germany itself, as they said then - in the den of the beast.
The choice fell on Sudoplatov for a reason. In 1938, in Rotterdam, he personally eliminated the leader of Ukrainian nationalists, Yevhen Konovalets, to whom he presented a bomb disguised as a box of Kiev chocolates. In 1940, together with Naum Eitingon, he led Operation Duck in Mexico. The victim was Leon Trotsky.
But now the stakes were even higher: the target is the Fuhrer of the Third Reich. The task is more than difficult, and such scouts as the cinematic Stirlitz, we did not have in Berlin in real life.
Nikolay Dolgopolov
Journalist, writer, deputy. editor-in-chief of "Rossiyskaya Gazeta"
We had very, very few of our own illegal immigrants, and in the highest echelons of German power there was only one such person. The person's surname is Willie Lehman, a small rank.
Of course, Lehmann had no access to Hitler, and he was already destroyed by the Germans at that time. So, it was necessary to send people who were capable of killing Hitler, and it was necessary to do this as soon as possible.
The plan was gradually filled with real figures. Sudoplatov decided to use the emigrant Prince Janusz Radziwill, who lived in Berlin, a friend of Goering and at the same time a secret agent of the NKVD.
He was close friends with Olga Chekhova, who was a real socialite and was familiar with Hitler, Mussolini, Goebbels, Goering. Chekhova starred in 145 films and at the same time performed the tasks of Lavrenty Beria.
It was these two people who, using their connections among the German aristocracy, were supposed to provide the liquidator with access to Hitler somewhere at a private reception or party.
Nikolay Dolgopolov
Journalist, writer, deputy. editor-in-chief of "Rossiyskaya Gazeta"
The hope was for Olga Chekhova, whom many call a Soviet intelligence officer. I have not found evidence of this, nor have I found evidence that she was not a Soviet intelligence officer. A mythical figure, still very mysterious. I think that perhaps she was at best an agent of influence, and maybe sometimes for the sake of her brother Lev Knipper, who was in Moscow, she carried out some separate assignments of the Soviet intelligence.
Igor Miklashevsky: the path of a scout
But the main question was: who should be entrusted with the role of the performer? This person must understand that he is going to certain death. In the end, the choice fell on Igor Miklashevsky.
In December 1941, he was invited to serve in intelligence personally by the State Security Commissioner, the head of the 3rd department of the Secret Political Directorate of the NKVD, Viktor Ilyin.
Pavel Sudoplatov
Soviet intelligence officer
Igor Miklashevsky is a very interesting person. I also got it from the Secret Political Administration. But with us he turned around, we immediately sent him to the rear of the enemy with a specific specific task.
In 42, Miklashevsky was 24 years old. Before becoming a State Security officer, he served in the army, was a sports guy - an excellent boxer.
But the main argument in favor of choosing Igor as the executor of the assassination attempt on Hitler was his uncle - actor Vsevolod Blumenthal-Tamarin.
In November 1941, he voluntarily went over to the side of the Germans.
Nikolay Dolgopolov
Journalist, writer, deputy. editor-in-chief of "Rossiyskaya Gazeta"
Together with his wife, he waited for the Germans to arrive, voluntarily went to cooperate with them and being a good actor, as they say, and even, I emphasize, an honored artist of the RSFSR (then these titles were given to few!), He brilliantly copied Stalin's deaf voice. He informed the Germans about this and often spoke on German radio, copying the leader, and, allegedly on behalf of Stalin, all sorts of inflammatory texts.
But to Berlin and to Uncle Miklashevsky there was still a difficult path full of drama. In 42, he was trained at a special intelligence school near Kirov. These were short courses. And in December 42nd, with a premeditated legend of a deserter from the Red Army, he crossed the front line.
During this transition, he could die. The commander of the army unit, through the positions of which Igor was walking, either did not report, or did not know, about the minefield, which was located between our and the German trenches. Miraculously Miklashevsky did not blow up.
The German soldiers could not believe their eyes, they were dumbfounded: how did this guy manage to get through unharmed? This became a weighty argument that Miklashevsky was a real deserter, and not an agent of the NKVD.

They framed it as desertion and as a completely from the heart of the desire to fight on the side of the Nazis. The Germans believed Miklashevsky, because he immediately began to talk about his uncle - they began to check, yes, there really was such an uncle ...
They believed it, but not completely, and just in case they decided to try it again. Igor Miklashevsky was allegedly taken to be shot. It was a psychological test. After all, another weaker person, feeling that he has a few minutes left to live, may ask for mercy and confess everything.
Nikolay Dolgopolov

Many said - yes, I am not who I pretend to be, but Miklashevsky endured, did not say a word. They believed him, enrolled in the ROA (Russian Liberation Army) ...
In the end, Miklashevsky was allowed to come to Berlin and live in the apartment of the Blumenthal-Tamarins. From that moment, the stage of its introduction into high society began. In the capital of the Third Reich, Igor tried to become an inveterate theater-goer. At one of the performances he was introduced to Olga Chekhova, through her at the Lubyanka and learned about the successful completion of Miklashevsky's first part of the task - to gain a foothold in Berlin.
This was also helped by the fact that our scout was an excellent boxer. He began to regularly participate in exhibition fights. During one of them, Igor struck up a new, very valuable acquaintance.

He entered secular circles, met the famous Max Schmeling - a boxer, heavyweight champion of Germany. Max Schmeling was one of the propaganda icons of the Third Reich.
Nikolay Dolgopolov
Journalist, writer, deputy. editor-in-chief of "Rossiyskaya Gazeta"
Schmeling was really Hitler's favorite. Getting to know him was very prestigious. And Schmeling, seeing the Russian, he liked that the Russian jumped over to the Germans, gave him his photo with the caption "Igor Miklashevsky from Schmeling." It really was some kind of pass ...
Through these new contacts, Igor gained additional access to the top and had the opportunity to meet with Hitler and Goering on several occasions. Retaliation was approaching inexorably towards the Fuehrer.
But time went on. It was already 43rd year in the yard. The situation at the fronts was changing radically. During the time that Miklashevsky spent on preparation, the transition to the Nazis, legalization in the Reich, there was a serious turning point in the war.
In February, the Battle of Stalingrad ended with a brilliant victory, the Germans retreated from the North Caucasus.
Alexander Korshunov
Historian, journalist
Behind was the Battle of Kursk, the crossing of the Dnieper is the most powerful line of defense of the Nazis, which gave Hitler reason to believe that he would be able to keep Ukraine with its raw materials. These hopes were dashed.
For the Western allies, it becomes obvious: Germany is losing the war, and the Red Army will definitely enter Europe, and this was not just a scarecrow, it terrified.
A new turn of history: Hitler is not to be touched!
In the fall of 1943, Igor Miklashevsky sent a radiogram to Moscow:
Readiness to eliminate Hitler has been achieved.
Moreover, you can destroy not only Hitler, but also Goering. At the theater, during a performance with Olga Chekhova's participation.
And then Stalin summons Sudoplatov and Merkulov and cancels the entire operation. Moreover, he specifically orders: do not touch Hitler!
This was all the more strange, since at the same time in Germany itself, attempts to destroy the Fuehrer were multiplying.
On March 21, 1943, a high-ranking Wehrmacht officer and at the same time an active participant in the German resistance movement, Baron Rudolf-Christoph von Gersdorff, could blow up Adolf Hitler in the Berlin Arms Museum "Zeichhaus", where an exhibition of captured weapons was held.
Konstantin Zalessky
Historian, journalist
When Gersdorf accompanied Hitler to the exhibition and he had a bomb with him, which he was going to detonate, this, in general, was not an attempt, because the bomb was not detonated.
The attempt on Hitler's life was also prepared by the Western special services. At the beginning of the 44th British intelligence MI6 planned to drop a super-powerful bomb on the headquarters of the Fuhrer "Wolf's Lair" in East Prussia. Then this action was abandoned.
Konstantin Zalessky
Historian, journalist
An operation was developed, and, moreover, a rather serious one. In general, it had a chance of success, although, in my opinion, it was built somewhat adventurously, and, of course, this did not give a 100% guarantee ...
During this period of the war, Stalin repeatedly received information from intelligence about secret separate negotiations between our allies in the anti-Hitler coalition with top German officials. These contacts became more frequent and worried him, since it was a question of the possibility of concluding a separate peace, and living Hitler for these negotiators was extremely dangerous.
Nikolay Dolgopolov
Journalist, writer, deputy. editor-in-chief of "Rossiyskaya Gazeta"
And the Vatican also intervened, conducting secret negotiations with representatives of some German forces, who said that they would destroy Hitler and there would be a government that would fight against the Russians along with the allies.
Konstantin Zalessky
Historian, journalist
If, in the event of Hitler's death, someone comes to power, well, for example, Goering, then it is quite likely that a separate peace will be concluded, the preservation of Nazi Germany as such, because the regime remains, it will simply be modified, it will not be so terrorist, not so anti-human, will be veiled ...
If an ordinary Soviet person during the war years became aware that Stalin had the opportunity to kill Hitler and he deliberately did not use it, then most likely they would simply not believe in it.
But the leader was already thinking about the post-war world order. The unconditional victory over fascism made it possible to significantly expand the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union in Europe. And a separate peace between the Germans and the allies would put an end to all these far-reaching plans of Stalin.
But the Western countries were strongly hindered by Hitler, only his death could make their negotiations real. New Germany, without Hitler, without the Soviets, sounds beautiful.
Now it is the life or death of the Fuhrer that turns out to be the most important factor in the great geopolitical game.
Attempt in the "Wolf's Lair": Hitler is already interfering with Germany
On July 20, 1944, the most famous attempt on the life of Adolf Hitler took place at the headquarters of the Fuhrer "Wolf's Lair".
The Colonel of the Army Reserve Headquarters Count Klaus Schenck von Stauffenberg and his adjutant, Lieutenant-General Werner von Haften, tried to assassinate their Supreme Commander.
The powerful explosion of the infernal machine was the culmination of a well-prepared conspiracy.
Part of the German generals and senior officers, foreseeing the inevitable defeat of Germany, decided to eliminate Hitler and conclude a separate peace with the Western powers, thereby preventing the final defeat of the Third Reich.
The conspirators coordinated their actions with the American and British special services.
Konstantin Zalessky
Historian, journalist
Contacts were constant. German conspirators went out to the West. Not on us, to the West. This was necessary for the following points: it was extremely important for the conspirators not only to kill Hitler and carry out a coup d'etat, they needed to get immediate support.
The moment they seize power, they would immediately receive the support of Western democracy, a truce at the front, the arrival of Western troops, because they believed that Germany, if Hitler and the Nazi regime were eliminated, had a chance not only to keep the borders in the east. year, but there were generally talks about preserving the boundaries of even 41 years and possibly even 42.
Alexander Korshunov
Historian, journalist
One of the leaders of the conspirators, Colonel-General Beck, sent a letter to the Americans shortly before the opening of the second front and the assassination attempt on Hitler that we could carry out a coup and, moreover, enable the American and British troops to land freely on the territory of the Reich.
But the Allies did not always have a negative attitude towards Hitler. The Third Reich, as a powerful military force, turned primarily to the East, is in many ways a project of the West.
It was on the Western, mainly on American investments, that the economy of fascist Germany and its military power rose in the 30s. The Reich, led by Hitler, was that bloodthirsty dog \u200b\u200bwho could be unleashed against the "Red Project" called the USSR. And the frantic Fuhrer was the best driving force behind this project.
The secret society of the Thule Aryans and the tacit support of the West
The formation of Hitler's worldview took place in the early 1920s in Munich in the secret society Thule (Thule-Gesellschaft). It got its name in honor of the mythical northern island, where the Aryan race allegedly originated.
One of the leaders of this society was Dietrich Eckart.
Mystic, practicing occultist, writer and ideologue of Nazism.
Alexander Korshunov
Historian, journalist
A man who was one of Hitler's first teachers, but for a short time. In the 23rd year he had already died, but he said such a remarkable thing: “Follow Hitler, he will dance, and I ordered the music. I have made a huge contribution to the future of Germany. "
In the Thule society, Hitler learned the main thing - the superiority of the Aryan race and hatred of other peoples, especially Jews and Slavs. And the main driving force in Germany was to be the Nazi party.
Alexander Korshunov
Historian, journalist
Interestingly, when Hitler was involved in the activities of the closed secret organization Thule, the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating this party was born in the DAP - Deutsche Arbeiterpartei - German Workers' Party. And in the 20th it already received the name, which it will have until its collapse, NSDAP - the National Socialist Workers' Party of Germany.
But when Hitler came to power in Germany, he stopped noticing his former mentors, with a few exceptions, although many of them sincerely sought to work in the structures of the Third Reich.
Konstantin Zalessky
Historian, journalist
And it was just then that it became clear that Hitler, partially borrowing ideas from them, was not going to admit it. That is, he believed that everything he received, he reworked, and he himself is the author of this. Accordingly, Hitler was not going to tolerate, under any circumstances, any attempt to compete in ideological terms. Whom did Hitler receive? Hitler received Rosenberg, Hitler received Hess, and both people categorically asserted that Hitler was our messiah ...
And the West initially supported such an uncontrollable aggressor until Hitler completely got out of control. But even with the outbreak of World War II, some financial and industrial structures of the United States continued to cooperate with Nazi Germany and keep in touch with their former partners.
Periodically, supplies of American oil went to the Reich, which were carried out by sea by tankers to the Canary Islands. The further part of the route passed under the escort of German warships.
Konstantin Zalessky
Historian, journalist
Yes, it was. As for the sale of oil, supplies went through neutral countries. The States did not trade directly with Germany.
All economic ties between the West and the Germans during the war were kept in the strictest confidence by both sides.
This was especially true of the trade in valuables that the Nazis took out from the occupied countries and, above all, from the Soviet Union.
Among those stolen were world-class works of art - ancient icons, antiques.
Many of these treasures were then sold at secret auctions in neutral Switzerland, with US moneybags being the main buyers.
Konstantin Zalessky
Historian, journalist
The International Bank for Foreign Exchange Settlements, which still exists and existed during the war in Switzerland, is a bank that was created by all European powers, the British headed it during the war, and through it, during the war, the Reichsbank traded gold obtained in concentration camps.
The mining scheme for this gold was well established. The SS took the valuables from the Jews, who were sent en masse to concentration camps.
Konstantin Zalessky
Historian, journalist
They were not told that they were being sent to a concentration camp. They were told that they were being sent to a new place of residence in the East, so they were advised to take with them the valuables that were seized. Then the Jews were sent to the gas chamber, after which the SS transferred this gold to the Imperial Bank, and the Imperial Bank credited a certain amount to the SS account. After that, the gold ended up in the cellars of the Reichsbank, where it was melted into ingots, and these ingots were sold abroad.
But the development of economic ties between the West and Germany was hampered by Hitler. Nobody wanted to deal with this little adequate person. In addition, the Fuhrer firmly adhered to the position of "war to the bitter end," and by the 44th year it became clear to the Americans and the British that Hitler would lose this war, he was already a waste material.
The Red Army was inevitably approaching the borders of the Third Reich. And this horrified our allies. Russian communists must be stopped! To do this, you must first destroy Hitler, and then make peace with the new German government.
On June 6, 1944, the Allies opened a second front and began to run towards Berlin, trying to reach it first. And now, just two weeks later - the loudest attempt on the life of Adolf Hitler, staged by Colonel Stauffenberg. What is it? Coincidence or coordinated actions with Western intelligence agencies? There is no exact answer to this question yet.
Konstantin Zalessky
Historian, journalist
First of all, the British special services worked very actively, and the rate, in general, was on the conspirators. The question was not just exactly how to eliminate Hitler as a figure, but was to simultaneously carry out a coup d'etat, to confirm that Germany would stop resistance in the West.
The conspirators had a clear program that was to take effect after the death of the Fuhrer: to form a provisional government, immediately explain to the people the criminal role of Hitler, immediately end the war and conclude a compromise peace with the Western powers.
Konstantin Zalessky
Historian, journalist
Stauffenberg insisted that a categorical truce in the East was needed. But the group of old German conservatives-nationalists, there was Goerdelller, they just believed that it was quite enough to make peace with the West, to incorporate Germany into the Western world, not the Eastern - in no case! The Soviet system, the Bolshevik system, was hostile ...
Nikolay Dolgopolov

The fact that the assassination attempt took place, in this case, is not a mistake of a trained German dog guard, but a mistake of Hitler. He overestimated not someone, not the security, he underestimated not these people who did not love him, he overestimated himself, believing that he really is the god and favorite of these generals.
The explosion of a bomb left by Colonel Stauffenberg in a briefcase at the massive table at which the meeting was held, injured 24 people.
Four of them - two generals, a colonel and a stenographer - were killed. The rest were injured of varying severity.
Hitler miraculously survived.
Nikolay Dolgopolov
Journalist, writer, deputy. editor-in-chief of "Rossiyskaya Gazeta"
He suffered a lot, he was very seriously wounded, this was hidden, of course, from Germany and from the world. But I would say that it made a great impression, firstly, on the army; secondly, the people; and thirdly, Hitler fell ill and very seriously. Only his relatives knew about this, such as, for example, his concubine Eva Braun. She writes that he was deaf in one ear, that one eye stopped seeing, his hands began to shake and that sometimes he fell into some kind of oblivion.
The fact that Hitler remained alive played into the hands of Stalin. The Red Army unhindered continued its victorious offensive in Europe. No separate negotiations between the West and the Germans were already possible.
The further fate of those involved in the assassination attempt, which never took place
But what happened to the Soviet intelligence officer Igor Miklashevsky after the leader canceled his order to destroy Hitler?
At first, Miklashevsky remains in Germany, but then, as an officer of the Vlasov army, the Germans will send him to Normandy to fight the Anglo-American allies. There, in one of the battles, he is seriously wounded, but thanks to Igor's connections, he will be sent to the best Berlin hospital.
After being discharged, by order from the Center, the scout goes to visit his uncle Blumenthal-Tamarin, who by that time lived in a small town in southern Germany. The death sentence, which was pronounced on the traitor at the beginning of the war, has not been canceled.
Alexander Korshunov
Historian, journalist
And, in fact, Igor Miklashevsky carried out the sentence at the end of the war. He visited the Anglo-Americans, then he was issued in the 47th year - he returned back, but a bullet wound in Normandy made it impossible for him to continue working in the intelligence field.
Igor Miklashevsky returned to his homeland and continued to practice boxing, but already in the role of a coach.
By the time he returned, he was only 27 years old. He achieved success in this field, brought up several champions of the USSR, died in Moscow, in September 90th.
Alexander Korshunov

The post-war fate of Olga Chekhova is also unusual, as, in fact, her life in Germany. After the Victory, she was detained by the Smersh authorities and taken by plane to Moscow. Within a few weeks she was released, she returned back to Germany, where she settled in the future West Berlin, then moved to Munich. She will also star in 22 films, later she will even have a good business - she will open her own company Olga Chekhova's Cosmetics, which will have branches in Berlin and Milan ...
But if Stalin had not canceled his order, the fate of these people would not have been so happy. Most likely, if the scouts carried out the sentence to the Fuehrer, they would have died.
But Stalin deliberately let Hitler hold out until the end of the war. After the last assassination attempt, the Fuhrer will live another 9 months and 10 days. The Soviet Army will capture Berlin and defeat the Nazis.
Then a socialist camp, friendly to the Soviet Union, will be formed.
The new political landscape in Europe following the results of World War II will persist for another half century.
