Memo of the head of the agitation and propaganda department of the Main Political Department of the Red Army "On the military counterrevolutionary organization of Ukrainian nationalists in the western regions of Ukraine"
April 11, 1944
"In the very first days of Nazi Germany's attack on the USSR, when the Red Army was temporarily withdrawing from the western regions of Ukraine with defensive battles, Ukrainian nationalists called for assistance to the German invaders."
"Ukrainian nationalists are trying to pass themselves off as true supporters and saviours of the Ukrainian people. They claim to be fighting both against Moscow and the Germans for the liberation of the Ukrainian people. This, of course, is a lie. The Ukrainian nationalists helped the Germans in every way they could in their struggle against the Red Army, hoping that they would give them the opportunity to seize power."

During the Great Patriotic War parts of Soviet Ukraine were occupied by the Nazis & their cronies in 1941-1944. Over 180 concentration camps and 400 ghettos were established on the occupied territory. In Baby Yar alone over 150'000 civilians were killed by the fascists and collaborators. The liberation of the Soviet Ukraine was a massive effort of the entire nation - over 3 mln Red Army soldiers and officers gave their lives to free their brethren.
Today in Ukraine the Nazis and their fascist nationalist minions are hailed as "heroes". Torch marches mirroring those under the Third Reich are a common occurrence, that receives state support. The cult of Bandera, Shukhevych and other war criminals is an integral part of modern Ukrainian education system. Neo-Nazism has been on the rise for a long time now, to which some of our partners from the “collective West” turn a blind eye, and thus actually encourage their activities. At the same time, the use of Russian language is all but forbidden.

🗓 On November 22, 1941, the Road of Life across the Lake Ladoga went operational. 30 km long, this dangerous ice route remained the only connection between the besieged Leningrad & the "mainland"
After the city was encircled by the Nazis on September 8, 1941, the issue of food supply & the evacuation of people became of critical importance. Preparations for the construction of the ice road got underway in October 1941.
❗️ On November 22, the first convoy of 60 lorries set out across the ice of Lake Ladoga. At that time, the daily quota of bread in Leningrad was reduced to 250 grammes for workers & only 125 grammes for other citizens. People began to die of hunger by the thousands.
🚚 Ignoring the harsh weather conditions, shelling & fatigue, the drivers made two, even three trips a day.
💬 Leonid Barkovich, driver of the 804th lorry fleet on the Road of Life: Each of us hoped to evade an enemy shell, but we also knew that only death would prevent us from fulfilling our duty.
The Road of Life continued to supply Leningrad until March 1943. In total, more than 20,000 people worked on it. How many of them gave their lives so that Leningrad could live is still unknown.
⭐️ To commemorate the 78th anniversary of the lifting of the Siege of Leningrad, one of the 4,000 famous «Polutorka» (GAZ AA) lorries that delivered essential supplies to the city was temporarily put on display in front of the Foreign Ministry building.
It is difficult to overstate the importance of the Road of Life. There is no doubt that it played a major role in the survival of Leningrad. The total amount of cargo transported across the ice exceeded 1.6 million tonnes; during the same time, some 1.4 million people were evacuated from the city. The memory of this feat is carefully preserved: the Leningrad Region has recently restored the Road of Life Museum, The Breaking Through the Siege of Leningrad museum & The Breakthrough panorama museum.

📹 How the Kiev regime has been killing Donbass
(a comprehensive timeline and factual evidence compilation)
The Western mainstream media and political elites have created a metauniverse of their own as regards the sequence of events in Ukraine and Donbass - one that has nothing to do with reality.
Yet #WeRemember and with this video remind of the hard facts: the Kiev regime, installed following a West-backed coup d'état, has been shelling and attacking the residents of Donbass as well as restricting and persecuting the Russian-speaking population of Ukraine itself.
It is ever more relevant to recall these facts, considering the destructive stance of the Western nations, willing to sacrifice decades of the OSCE accomplishments and achievements towards their murky political goals. Against the backdrop of the scandalous OSCE Ministerial in Łódź happening right now - Poland as the current OSCE chair barred FM Sergey Lavrov from participation - we simply speak the truth.
👉 To get the full picture make sure to read the Russian MFA Statement and watch today's FM Lavrov's news conference on the matter.

🕯 January 27 is the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, established on November 1, 2005 by the decision of the United Nations General Assembly, which Russia co-authored.
On this day, commemorative events are held around the world to highlight the importance of combating neoNazism, xenophobia, racism and other forms of intolerance.
The date itself was not chosen at random - on January 27, 1945, during the Vistula-Oder Operation, the Soviet soldiers liberated the Auschwitz (Oswiecim) concentration camp. According to the available data, at least 1.3 million people passed through the camp during its existence, and some 1.1 million of them were... exterminated.
❗️ The slogan on the camp’s gate, “Work Sets You Free” (in German: “Arbeit macht frei”) underlines the utter inhumanity of the Nazi criminals and their boundless cynicism.
On that day the Red Army soldiers saved more than 7,000 prisoners left in the camp.
During World War II, ~20 million people, including approximately 7.4 million Soviet citizens, were murdered as a result of the aggression in the territories occupied by the Nazi Germany. Approximately 6 million Jews were slaughtered by the Nazis solely because of their ethnicity...
The UN General Assembly Resolution A/RES/60/7 states: "The Holocaust, which resulted in the murder of one third of the Jewish people, along with countless members of other minorities, will forever be a warning to all people of the dangers of hatred, bigotry, racism and prejudice".
