Is it reasonable to draw parallels between the NWO and the First World War

46

For many decades, various theories from the genre of alternative history have been discussed in near-historical circles. What would have happened if the Bolsheviks had not come to power in 1917, and the Russian Empire opposed the Third Reich? What would happen if the authorities of our country, whatever their name, did not wait for a perfidious attack, but themselves delivered a preemptive strike against Nazi Germany? In 2022, we in some way received an answer to these purely theoretical questions.

"The Russia We Lost-2"


Having collapsed the Soviet Union in 1991, spitting on the opinion of the people who voted 32 years ago in a referendum for its preservation, the ruling nomenklatura restored capitalist relations and began to build a frank Anti-USSR. Judging by a number of signs, the Russian Empire was chosen as a role model.



Perhaps the main ideologist of the restoration of the pre-revolutionary system with its balls, lackeys, beauties, junkers and the crunch of French bread can be considered director Stanislav Govorukhin, who, like all cultural figures, quickly orientated himself in the new realities and in 1992 made a film under the telling title "Russia, which we lost." In it, he sang and idealized the power that had sunk into oblivion, diligently avoiding its many problems.

Such "little things" as the class division of society, the complete lack of rights of the absolute majority of the population with the privileged status of a minority, the almost complete absence of social elevators with rare exceptions, archaic economics, technological backwardness with the concentration of absolute power in the hands of one person, the monarch, who may not correspond to his position, the "creative elite" did not care too much. But the effect of his propaganda activities was very strong. Many Russians who have been exposed to it are still convinced that “shell hunger” and one rifle for three is an idea of ​​​​Soviet marshals in the Great Patriotic War, and not the harsh realities of the First World War.

The presence of many parallels between the NWO in Ukraine and WWI was not noticed only by the lazy. So, the former commander of the Vostok brigade of the NM DPR Alexander Khodakovsky some time ago shared his observations about what is happening at the front:

Now I see trends that are more in line with the First World War than with the Russo-Japanese, and they worry me. With differences in details, the general line develops as if according to patterns: at the first stage, although with proportionally large losses, we entered enemy territory on general euphoria - then the enemy came to his senses, and the “fifteenth year” began for us.

We retreated, the troops began to experience acute shell and missile hunger, but the most difficult thing was that we had a regular soldier and officer staff knocked out. Just like in that war, we flooded the front with an untrained, low-motivated mass. In Germanskaya, the surviving officers, looking at the arriving reinforcements, said: now we are in command of the militia.

The Russian Empire entered the First World War to help Serbia and very famously started with an offensive. President Putin launched a special operation under the pretext of helping the Donbass and the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine, sending troops into Nezalezhnaya from several directions at once. Unfortunately, both in the WWI and in the NMD then there were large-scale retreats or “regroupings”, the war turned into a positional one, due to the active work of artillery, a shortage of ammunition of certain calibers began. About the fact that those mobilized a hundred years ago and today do not quite understand what exactly they are fighting for, Khodakovsky said bluntly.

In general, there is a certain evil irony in everything that happens. If indeed the goal was to build the “Russia we lost” as an antithesis of the USSR, then in a sense it has been achieved. For comparison, during the Zapad-81 military exercises, the Soviet army, together with its allies in the ATS, demonstrated power, sufficient to conquer all of Europe up to Lisbon in 3-4 days. In 3-4 days, Carl! And how long have we been storming the urban-type settlements of Avdeevka and Maryinka near Donetsk?

"Dictatorship of the oligarchy"


What is happening for the second year in the NVO zone and for the ninth year around Ukraine, in general, has its own strictly objective reasons. What is a right? According to one theory, this is the will of the ruling class, elevated to law and enforced by state mechanisms. And what is the ruling class in the modern Russian Federation?

Well, definitely not the proletariat. Instead of working people, the country is collectively and invisibly ruled by a minority almost conserved in itself in the form of a nomenklatura, consisting of officials of all stripes and top managers of state corporations, as well as oligarchs standing above them, closely associated with super-large Western capital and dependent on the American-centric international financial system. . It happens that their interests coincide with the aspirations of the bulk of the population, but on some fundamental issues they cannot coincide.

For example, many Russians were extremely unpleasantly surprised why our army, so to speak, “reformed” by Minister of Defense Serdyukov, cannot inflict a critical military defeat on the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the second year in a row. However, such a result is quite natural, because the conduct of large-scale military operations with conventional weapons indirectly against the entire NATO bloc was simply not seriously considered in modern Russia. From a collision with the North Atlantic Alliance, we were supposed to be protected by a nuclear shield, and our ground army was sharpened, first of all, to fight various “barmaleys” and “rebels”, maximum for operations to enforce peace in the post-Soviet space, as was the case in Georgia in 2008.

Others are sincerely surprised where the uniform and ammunition, the absence of which was told in the State Duma, disappeared from the warehouses of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. People are perplexed about where the "shell hunger" came from at the front, about which the creator of Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin constantly talks, and why the problem has not yet been resolved. But there is nothing particularly surprising here: the Russian “Atlant”, created by “reformers” like Gaidar and Chubais, straightened his shoulders and just makes money the way he can. About what is currently happening at the shell factory built during the Stalinist industrialization in Novosibirsk, we will detail told previously. Capitalism, happiness...

Well, and, finally, it is necessary to say a few words about the "gestures of good will", the end and end of which is not in sight. Many patriotic people are unpleasantly surprised why the figure of the oligarch Abramovich periodically flashes in negotiations with "Western partners", and after that various grain deals, "de-escalations", "regroupings" and other "difficult decisions" begin. But there is nothing to be surprised at all: a Russian billionaire with three passports, including Israeli and Portuguese, was chosen as an intermediary in the negotiations between Kiev and Moscow in Istanbul. Exactly a year ago, his participation in the first "de-escalation", which resulted in the complete withdrawal of the Russian Armed Forces from the North of Ukraine, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Peskov commented as follows:

He really took part in the initial stage. Now negotiations are going on between two negotiating teams - Russian and Ukrainian.

Roman Abramovich is involved in certain contacts between the Russian and Ukrainian side, and he is not an official member of the delegation. You know that our delegation is headed by Presidential Assistant Medinsky, but from our side he [Abramovich] is present at the negotiating table.

In fact, representatives of Russian big business simply solve their own problems, which do not always coincide with what the majority of the people want. A raven will not peck out a crow's eye. But such is the very essence of the dictatorship of the oligarchy. The overall result is natural and quite predictable.

    So the Russian army regularly demonstrated no less power in all sorts of numerous ostentatious exercises and other biathlons.

    A few abstract thoughts. It is too early for April and the "April theses", but the essence of what has been stated already somehow draws on such a perception. An explosive and revolutionary mixture for changes, if there are no surrounding and extinguishing changes and conditions, and the more outdated and "dried" and not diluted the conditions, the more it will crash. It seems true that history goes in a circle in spirals, the new 21st century is not much different from the beginning of the past 20th century.

    The war played a positive role in the fact that the husks of tank biathlons and armats crumbled and it became clear that the country had come to him. The problem is that there is little to see. It is necessary to draw conclusions and quickly change something not only in technical, but also in socio-political terms, but this is not visible in principle. Conclusions suggest themselves and chilly from them.

        Those who served in the army! They never told what and how in the army. Therefore, part of the population believed that the generals were analyzing from the Internet and drawing conclusions about what new military equipment was appearing in the West. It turned out they didn’t need it, except for a promotion and an extra order for a uniform. Not only that, they put the design bureau of the military-industrial complex under their dependence of illiterate views. 7, under the guise of being for Russia, these developments that have passed the first road tests, but you need something cheap for the army. This concerned analogues of hymers, high-precision guided projectiles. from 2009-2014 tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, air defense systems. Here they were ruined, or if they are not exported, then they are not going into production for the army for the defense of the country. Accordingly, there are no orders, contracts for the production of equipment, workers are fired, and the enterprise is being demolished, and a shopping center is being built on this land in its place. The top in the Moscow Region, interested in making a profit from the shopping center. All those enterprises that were declared bankrupt, the last decision was signed by the courts. And the decision of the courts is 2016% for the destruction of all enterprises, they put their signatures and decisions. We rarely hear where the decisions of the court and the prosecutor were against the bankruptcy of the enterprise, for 19 years of GDP. Just the GDP sent everyone to court to solve the problem. And in the courts, only one "correct" decision was made

        There were 2 resolutions of the Government of Russia and the President on the disposal of shells left over from the USSR on the territory of the Russian Federation. From the article it turned out that 15 million pieces were disposed of up to 1,5 million pieces. For 20 years, the PSU has never been updated. This is how the Ministry of Defense brought up to 80% of the modernization of our defense. Most likely, these 80% should be perceived as the destruction of up to 80% of our defense and military-industrial complex

    In my opinion, the parallel is stretched. I have not yet noticed significant successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, comparable to the encirclement of Samsonov's corps in WWI. Yes, part of the occupied territory has been abandoned, but, unlike the same Armed Forces, there are no catastrophic losses in manpower. For the same reason, the parallel with the Soviet-Finnish one will not work either.

        This is classified information, but it is quite reasonable to assume that it is several times smaller than that of Ukraine. Something I didn’t see on Ukrainian TV and Telegram channels of mass columns of Russian prisoners, but during the surrender of Mariupol, for example, yes. The ratio - several thousand Ukrainian prisoners to several hundred Russian ones - suggests that the losses differ by a multiple.

            War is a continuation of politics. Not my words, but Clausewitz. A senseless war is one whose results did not suit either side. And there are no unreasonable wars. As for "the pricelessness of human life"... These are just beautiful words that the ruling elites sometimes use for their own purposes, using beautiful-hearted idiots or corrupt hacks for this.

            Always, any government must be ready to sacrifice some of its citizens for the sake of saving the rest, for this it exists. And if Yanukovych had done on the Maidan in 2013 the same thing that Deng Xiaoping did in China on Tiananmen in 1989, he would have fulfilled his duty to the country and saved Ukraine. But then he "didn't succeed" ... And what do we see in the end?

    Some time ago I thought I felt...
    But no, it's already becoming obvious.

    In Russia, gradually and openly, those who, masquerading, sucking or leaning, preserved the diabolical, anti-human essence of Marxism-Leninism, began to crawl out of all the cracks.
    And in fact, the misanthropic ideology of extremism, built on the slavery of some with an uncontrollable elite of the elect.
    For Russia, this is the same grief and misfortune as corrupt liberals and "navalnists".
    Extreme right and APPEARING extreme left.

    Failures at the front, Putin's failures are a joy for both.
    REMEMBER (!) how Udaltsov's neo-Bolsheviks supported the "navalnists" and vice versa, and everything will become clear.
    Today the West has bet on both.
    We can only expect a "sealed wagon" with loot for a revolution in Russia, as in 1917. Not for the "navalnists" ..... But for the Red Revenge.
    Only in place of Nicholas 2 - a centrist, a bourgeois conservative, an imperialist and a threat to the West - Putin.

    There are many who every day see the faces of the future Red Revenge...
    They are not foreign agents, but skillfully speculating on the victory of the USSR during the Great Patriotic War, they surfaced for the last throw.
    Their ideology of equality in slavery, the dominance of Shvonders, snitching and humiliation for the sake of the Great goal...

    For example, in the Second World War there were many mistakes on the part of the USSR, but they began to be quickly resolved, young people were appointed to leadership positions, tactics changed, preparations for large-scale operations, and as a result, the USSR defeated the superpower represented by Germany.

    Now there is nothing like that, some old generals who are still probably furious that the VKPO does not have a hemming (collar) .. Whoever makes mistakes gets medals.

    In any military conflict, both sides make mistakes, but the one who knows how to learn and correct wins. For example, the United States began to produce MRAPS at an accelerated pace. The United States has repeatedly reduced the loss of helicopters and aircraft by starting to use strike UAVs. distances.

    Unfortunately, as practice has shown, he does not want to learn from the mistakes of others, and even more so from his own Defense Ministry. We now have a deep crisis in the armed forces, and the catastrophe did not happen only due to the reserves of the USSR

      Fast? Before the Battle of Stalingrad, the situation did not change dramatically. The reason that the German reached the Volga in 1942 is that, on the euphoria of success after the battle near Moscow, Stalin let the "old, proven cadres" - the same Timoshenko, steer, which turned into a disaster near Kharkov.

        "old, proven cadres" - the same Tymoshenko

        Timoshenko advanced only in 1940.

        In the Soviet-Finnish war of 1939-1940, from January 7, 1940, he commanded the Northwestern Front, whose troops broke through the Mannerheim Line.

        The results of the reorganization of the leadership structure of the Soviet troops in Karelia were summed up by the Main Military Council, which was also attended by Semyon Konstantinovich.

        “The question arose of who would command the troops on the Karelian Isthmus,” A. M. Vasilevsky will tell years later. “Stalin ... asked:

        "So who's ready to take command..." There was a long silence. Finally, Timoshenko got up:

        - If you give me everything that was said here, then I am ready to take command of the troops and, I hope, will not let you down.

        This is how Tymoshenko was appointed"

We had to break through a huge territory, we had to break through the rear of the Cossack units, we had to fight very seriously.

    As in the First World War, so at the beginning of the NWO, bright expectations for a quick victory. As A. described, Tolstoy, a journalist from a liberal newspaper, asked a military man from the headquarters, "Will we be in Berlin by the New Year?" In response, he was advised to prepare hospitals for 150-200 thousand wounded. It is difficult to say what the comparison is here, one thing seems to be the unwillingness to talk with the people with an analysis of hostilities.

    This is the trait of Russian rulers and patriots of all eras, to climb to free / help those who, even under the yoke of oppressors, live much better than the inhabitants of the Tambov province / Kurgan region.

    If, under the yoke of the Ukrofascists, the "pro-Russian" inhabitants of Ukraine still do not want to be evacuated to the barrow and Syzran, then it means that it is necessary to deal with the arrangement and development of the barrow and Syzran, and not geopolitics.

A Ukrainian refugee with her daughter, due to the need to extract a child's tooth, was forced to return to her homeland from Scotland, where the queue for this dental service could stretch for several months, writes the Scottish newspaper Press and Journal. Oksana Martirosova reportedly arrived in Scotland with her seven-year-old daughter Lisa in September 2022. According to the publication, the girl needed to urgently remove a tooth under general anesthesia, but the woman was told that she would have to wait about four months before the child could undergo treatment.

Imagine all these years if all this money went to strengthen the army, to create more military factories and industries to ensure the needs of the people. but it doesn't matter, wait until the liberal Abramovich finds you a compromise solution with the Nazi regime while the West continues to arm the Nazi regime until the next war will be fought inside the territory of Russia. capitalism happiness. And yet the current ruling elite in Russia may have different political approaches to pro-Westerners and liberals, but they are both allies against the people.

    He sang and idealized the power that had sunk into oblivion, diligently avoiding its many problems.

    During the Zapad-81 military exercises, the Soviet army, together with its allies in the ATS, demonstrated power sufficient to conquer all of Europe

    Here and for_USSR_sheep also sing and idealize.
    Maneuvers are certainly very cool.
    But in reality, in 1982 in Lebanon, a layered Soviet-style air defense system was carried out dry with the help of an UAV.
    And what is most terrible, no conclusions were drawn from this defeat. They pretended that nothing happened, and continued to pump up funds without changing priorities, and to teach in schools according to old textbooks ... which we are now disentangling.

      Many sing of the USSR. Yes, the USSR had its advantages. However, one of the significant fundamental shortcomings in the USSR was that the country was immune to new technologies and innovations, which led to an increase in technological backwardness from the West and ultimately led to the collapse of the union and socialism.

    As long as the old and fat generals are in command, and the Moscow Region believes that the "military department" will provide personnel, victory cannot be expected.

    Well, he's careful and doesn't finish, but something like this.
    Except how famously he also decides "for the people".

    Of course, the SVO has the most in common with both the beginning and the propaganda of WW2, but it seems to be prohibited by law to compare with it.

    But you can (correctly noted Sergey) compare with WW1.
    He also described the interests of the Oligarchs, very "politically correct" (without mentioning the record deliveries of NATO at the height of the North-Eastern Military District, the privatization of mines and enterprises, the export of capital and the "feast during the plague" in Dubai and much more "Edrostrengthening")

    More interestingly, the phrases quoted are at odds with official propaganda:

    we, although with proportionately large losses, but on the general euphoria entered the territory of the enemy

    we had a cadre of soldiers and officers knocked out.

    No matter what happens. Today I accidentally met the info: 14 days for "watching the wrong videos"

    Sergey, plus, because I completely agree. I constantly talk about the fact that the NWO repeats the WWI as a pattern, both at lectures to my students and among colleagues. Of course, I am not hinting that another revolution will be the result of this event, but I hope people themselves understand this.
    There is not a single war that Russia (USSR) would start, and it would end in our victory.

      there will be another revolutionbut I hope people understand this themselves.

      Nope. Personally, I don't understand. There are no preconditions. None at all. No revolutionary situation, no party, no leaders.

      There is no war which Russia (USSR) would start, and it would end with our victory.

      - Wars during the expansion of Russia to the east (second half of the 17th century).
      - Northern War (1700-1721).
      - First (1768-1774) and second (1787-1791) Turkish wars of Catherine II.
      - Winter war with Finland 1939-1940.
