'Mirages of '37' with the background of the SVO

I’ve been reading this morning: Two young people were detained in Komsomolsk-on-Amur who were planning sabotage at several sites on instructions from the Ukrainian special services.

And there has been a lot of such news over the past year and a half. For example, it was recently reported that in Altai the FSB arrested a local resident who poisoned water for mobilized military personnel: “It is known that the detained man lives in Barnaul, he is 42 years old. He filmed his crime, which he then sent to Ukraine.” It looks absurd, but it’s a documented fact!

A similar incident also occurred in our Karelia; in Sortavala, 19-year-old local resident Nikita Klyunya, a local leader of the Russian Civil Alliance organization, was detained. He was charged with sabotage activities on the railway and is charged with Article 205.4 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (organization of a terrorist community and participation in it). By the way, it is easy to find out the origin of the “Civil Alliance”. This is just, to use a fashionable word, a “rebranding” of another organization - RONA. Russian United National Alliance, the chairman of the National Council of which was one person - Oleg Filatchev.

For experts in the history of the Great Patriotic War, the abbreviation RONA is well known. Yes, it seems like another amusing and virtual organization, but the relay cabinet on the railway that set Klyunya on fire was quite real. (More details - The case of the Sortavalan resident Cluny and the philosopher Ivan Ilyin ).

That is, we have hundreds of episodes when some not very smart citizens break railway equipment, throw Molotov cocktails at military registration and enlistment offices, even poison water... For ideological reasons or for a ridiculous reward. This is our current reality, which cannot be doubted.

However, here’s the paradox: in the minds of a large number of Russians, similar accusations made during the Stalin era were almost all fabricated by the NKVD. Exclusively in order to repress as many innocent people as possible!

But in the 30s the level of confrontation in society was much higher! The civil war passed quite recently. Another nationalization with expropriations. After all this, there are many “offended” citizens left who are ready, not just for money, but simply to take revenge on the new government. Were they all sitting with their hands folded?

Karelian local historian Alexander Kostin writes about repressions in the same Pudozh region: “Summarizing the conversation about “pests,” at the same time I am not inclined to deny that such a phenomenon did not exist. Opponents of the collective farm system showed their rejection of the authorities in various ways. Thus, when the collective farm “Paris Commune” was organized in the village of Nigizhma, which included 20 farms, wealthy peasants began agitating against the collective farm, and as a result, 5 peasant farms left it. It came to the point of beating up collective farmers... At logging sites, kulaks drove nails into horse clamps, in Karshevo, car parts were stolen, on the collective farm “Path to Light” (Vodla) kulaks N-v killed horses, and so on in the same spirit.”

It seems that when all the documents are declassified, the picture of the events that took place in any region of the country will turn out to be very complex and motley.

On the other hand, the emigrant organizations of that time did not consist of fugitive swindlers and representatives of the corrupt creative intelligentsia, capable only of writing hysterical posts on social networks. Most of them were former officers who had gone through the school of the Civil War and the white underground. They knew how and wanted to organize subversive work.

And yet, against the backdrop of the mass of citizens who agreed to cooperate with the SBU, the phrases about “thousands of Polish spies” look different. Quoting them in the late 80s seemed to be 100% proof of the falsehood of all the accusations of that time. The time was still peaceful, “post-stagnation”, but how could there be thousands of spies? What kind of “Ukrainian intelligence” is it, aka Romanian, Finnish or Estonian...

Of course, in 1937-38, due to a number of circumstances that cannot be briefly discussed here, the fight against the real and potential “fifth column” led to the fact that both the guilty and the innocent, and many of those who there were old, and often not the greatest, sins before the state. It was not for nothing that in 1939-40 the NKVD itself had to be “cleansed” of those figures who fabricated fake cases. I have to write about this, since recently there have been shady citizens making money on this topic. (See Georgy Malenkov as a victim of “Balaevism” ).

It is also necessary to make a reservation that today’s capitalist Russia is not the USSR, which was the world’s first socialist state. The current ruling class traces its origins to the “saints of the 90s,” which explains various “oddities” in the conduct of the SVO, completely unimaginable in Stalin’s time.

However, the methods of struggle, including subversive ones, have not changed much, regardless of the social system and order in a particular state. So, reading in the morning about the capture of another and very real saboteur or spy of the SBU, use this information to better understand the real situation in the 20-30s of the 20th century. After all, everything starts to look completely different!

Just ask yourself simple questions: Did the new society created in our country since 1917 have real and numerous enemies? Were. Did they themselves want to carry out mass reprisals against their opponents? They wanted to, there is enough evidence of this. Consequently, the Soviet government had every right to self-defense. Including in order to protect millions of its active supporters from death. Were there real spies, saboteurs, or foreign intelligence agents at that time? Existed. Did the then state have the right to defend itself against them? Of course it did! After all, any modern and most “democratic” state does not deny itself this right.
