What did the Soviet people fight in the Great Patriotic War?

10

Every year, on May 9, we celebrate the next anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. We glorify the exploits of Soviet soldiers and honor the heroes. However, few people today know what the Soviet people fought for and how they managed to defeat the strongest enemy in the person of Nazi Germany.

To understand the essence of the confrontation, you need to understand what at that time were the Soviet Union and the Third Reich. Fascist Germany was a capitalist state with the most reactionary form of state system. In turn, the USSR became the last bastion of socialism, which stood in the way of the Western imperialists.



When the Third Reich attacked the USSR on June 22, 1941, the Soviet people had no doubt about the need to fight for their socialist Fatherland. Thanks to the cohesion and heroism of the Red Army, competent military leadership and a powerful industrial machine, the USSR was able to defeat the "Western beast."

A tremendous role in the victory over fascism was played by Joseph Stalin. As the supreme commander, he participated in the planning of major military operations and personally led the country's economic affairs.

In the days of World War II, the party rallied together and sent Soviet people to a common goal. The most diverse peoples inhabiting the USSR stood up to defend the Motherland: Russians, Ukrainians, Kazakhs, Belarusians, Armenians, Kyrgyz, Dagestanis, Jews and many others. At the front, the communist had only one privilege - to go on the attack first.

What now? What is our generation worth?

Today, the 15 republics that defeated the Nazis are divided. The leaders of these states parasitize on the Soviet legacy and serve the new capitalist masters. The symbols of victory are replaced by false attributes, history is being rewritten, the feat of the Soviet people shamelessly trampled on the dirt on state channels.

The right to work, housing and recreation. The right to free education. Social justice. All this seems fantastic today.

But for a Soviet person, these concepts were a reality. At that time, people were the real masters of their country and their lives. They won, showing the whole world how a free people is fighting.

      Thieves think that also the people will rush to the defense of the one who oppresses them. Now no one in Russia will fight, because war is the death of the current Russian feudalism and the only way to break out of slavery to the people.

        Well, about the same reason the Vlasovites also reasoned - We are fighting not against Russia, but against Bolshevism.
        This is all self-deception. The war will not go against "thieves", but against Russia. Does anyone really believe that Gref and Nabiullina are enemies of the West? And the war will be fought for the liberation of Russian thieves from power?

      ... how they managed to defeat the strongest enemy in the person of Nazi Germany

      From the very first lines, a frank distortion and a lie. We did not defeat Germany, but the forces of a united Europe, which, as before, for example, with Napoleon’s army, tried to conquer our Motherland.

      An agitation was written in the style of a party committee: tight and worthless. People fought for their lives, because the enemy came to destroy everyone.

      The older generation does not need to prove and tell anything, they already know who and why laid their lives on the altar of the Fatherland in that Great Patriotic War, and now that our country and foreign oligarchs — the bourgeois — own the whole country, and people live half-starving for beggars salaries and pensions, and young people do not have work - this is where the question arises - and who is our Russia to us now - mother or stepmother, and who will go to shed their blood for all these Millers, Chubais and other Abramovich-Potanin .....

      Stop the time, I'll come down
      Tired and bruised at the station.
      You ask - in what year,
      Of course, in the native seventies .....

      Come on, "Guarantor", turn the country in the direction where all your people will live with dignity, happily and with hope for the future, that's when he will believe in your promised good intentions.

      In fact, the USSR in 1941 was not the last bastion of socialism (as in the article), but the first and only!

      Author "What now? What is our generation for?" you have nothing to stand for, it is clear, you do not need to measure Yaroslavna with your seat and lamentation over the republics of "15 disunited". Yes, we do not care about them, this ballast only sucked from Russia, any alliances are built on mutual benefit. I know what to stand for, my parents, my family, my friends, etc. And a person who is a Human and knows that for him the Motherland does not arise such questions, and since you ask such questions, YOU are an ENEMY, I wish you transformation into a lampshade and soap, from those against whom you can not stand, touch tolerance.

      The right to work, housing and recreation. The right to free education. Social justice. All this seems fantastic today.

      It seems to me fantastic that people like you will go to work in a crowd, rather than counting rubles per word in the text ...

      Fascist Germany was a capitalist state with the most reactionary form of government.

      Nonsense. As if from a Soviet history textbook. There was a capitalist economy, yes, but within the framework of progressive "national socialism" (Natinalsozialismus) with a broad program of improving the well-being of the population; no unemployment; with a new, cheap "people's car" (Volkswagen) for everyone. After a humiliating decade of the thieves' Weimar Republic, in which bread was worth millions of inflation marks, and the lawlessness of the new (Jewish) elite, National Socialism gave people back confidence in the future. I don’t want to be cynical, but it should still be noted that hostility towards Jews was understandable, and not only in Germany. It is "not customary" to talk about this today, and if anyone does, they quickly turn him off. But still it is also a fact that the Bolshevik elite was Jewish from the very beginning, both in Germany and in the USSR.
