| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. If you read the Russian literature for WWII you will note one of the great overarching themes was the promises, made by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union through the political instructors, of the granting of freedom following the war. Not more Bolshevik bullshit, but freedom. That promise made at the front will cause any man to reexamine what his current society is and what it promises. Decisions good and bad can spring from those promises. And the political instructors may have promised freedom, what soldiers got were promises that their family would suffer at the hands of the state as well as they, should run afoul of the state, headed by Bolsheviks. My fictional reading of WWII Russian literature is limited to Vasily Grossman, who was a loyal correspondent for the soviet Communists. [REGNUM] The main burden of the Great Patriotic War was borne by the generations born in 1905 to 1925, and this could not have happened if they had been brought up in an unhealthy society, noted REGNUM columnist Mikhail Demurin on Friday, October 22, commenting on the statements of Russian President Vladimir Putin. As previously reported, during his speech at a meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club, Putin said that the West is now experiencing the same thing that Russia went through 100 years ago . "The Bolsheviks after the 1917 revolution, relying on the dogmas of Marx and Engels, also announced that they would change the entire customary way, not only political and economic, but also the very idea of ​​what human morality is, the foundations of a healthy society. The destruction of age-old values, faith, relations between people up to the complete rejection of the family - this was the case - the imposition and encouragement of denunciations to loved ones - all this was declared a step of progress and, by the way, in the world it was widely supported then and was fashionable, just like and today," said Putin . "The history of our country in the first third of the XX century, especially the period after 1917, requires deep comprehension and understanding, free anti-communist opportunism. Vladimir Putin says that the Bolsheviks declared that 'they will change the whole habitual way, not only political and economic, but also the very idea of ​​what human morality is, the foundations of a healthy existence of society.' According to him, values ​​and faith were destroyed in the USSR of the first post-revolutionary decade. In this regard, I will ask a few questions. Was this Russian society at the turn of the 20th century healthy? Was it Anna Karenina's 'healthy family?' Or most of Chekhov's heroes? Maxim Gorky showed us many completely unhealthy Russian families ... And the presence of harems among Russian landowners before the reform - did the reforms of the 1860s immediately improve their morals? The position of women in peasant families of that period is not just prosperous - it is difficult to call it bearable - read Leskov! Or, for example, the memories of his childhood, Marshal Zhukov. This is what the Bolsheviks wanted to change and they did change! They put both a Russian woman, and even more so women on the national outskirts of Russia, on a worthy place in society. And, accordingly, they improved the family. By the way, it's worth thinking about this. The main burden of the Great Patriotic War was borne by the generations born in 1905-1925. A huge number of them gave their lives for their homeland, massively showed heroism and self-sacrifice. If they were brought up in an unhealthy society, a society in which values ​​are destroyed, there is no faith, relations between people are undermined, how could this be? Is that how they would behave at the front and in the rear?" Mikhail Demurin noted. |
