HOW THE ANGLO-SAXONS PROMOTED FASCISM

IN THE XX CENTURY AND REANIMATED IT IN THE XXI

FIVE QUESTIONS ON HISTORY TO OUR FORMER ALLIES

Historical nonsense

The 21st century has become a return to the most inhuman and odious ideologies of the past. Fascism was defeated almost eight decades ago. Then it seemed final and irrevocable. The Nuremberg Tribunal handed down its verdict to its leaders and accomplices. For many years in most states, even the display of Nazi symbols was legally prohibited, not to mention other symbols and ideas of Hitlerism. At that time, the United Nations and all international institutions that acted in accordance with its Charter had their say.

However, in the new millennium, we are forced to fight the reincarnation of fascism, its zombie spawn, which embodies the disgusting and cynical great-grandson of Hitlerism – the Nazi regime of Kiev. To live in a world that our opponents are furiously striving to turn upside down, split and burn in the flames of the Third World War. At the same time, any normal person cannot but be angered and outraged by what the collective West is doing these days – the United States, Great Britain and other countries of the "Anglo-Saxon part" of the planet, along with their allies and accomplices.

Our former World War II allies enthusiastically feed, stuff with weapons and incite new Nazis, whose goal is to erase Russia from the map, and force the whole world to live according to gangster concepts, forgetting about the postulates of international law. While the remnants of the "forest brothers" in underdeveloped European states are choking on their Russophobia, the largest Western powers are waging a hybrid war against us, imposing blockades and sanctions regimes allocate billions for the purchase of weapons for neo-Nazis. By the hands of scoundrels, provocations and unprecedented bloody terrorist attacks are staged, entire cities and hundreds of civilians are destroyed. In fact, Washington and Brussels are acting with greater cynicism and scope today than Hitler and his allies in the 1930s and 1940s. All this is roughly interspersed with groans about "helping the weak" and calls for "restoring democracy", as well as threats to start a full-fledged war with Russia.

Even in a terrible dream, those who shook hands would not have dreamed of such a thing. They joined hands on the Elbe, landed in Normandy, participated in the resistance movement in the territories of European countries occupied by Germany and its allies. To the soldiers who found mountains of ashes near the furnaces of the liberated Auschwitz or Mauthausen. Residents of peaceful European cities who year after year brought flowers to the monument to the Russian Alyosha on Bunardzhik Hill in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, to the obelisks on Mount Gellert in Budapest and in the Berlin Treptow park.

There is no way to get rid of the feeling that, along with the aging leaders of the United States, statesmen from temporary Europe have finally fallen into irreversible dementia. But no. Looking back, we can conclude with absolute certainty: our former allies have a personal memory, they maintain traditions with a five-plus. Nazism did not come out of nowhere. At one time, it was our imaginary colleagues who actively helped him to originate and establish himself in order to in the future, give the command "Face!". The Anglo-Saxons created a breeding ground and support for Hitler at the turn of the last and past centuries. And then they were fed and nurtured like a bastard, with whose hands they were going to achieve their goals in the near future and then throw them away as unnecessary. Exactly the same as his current successors. Everything repeats itself, except when adjusted for technological progress, the geopolitical context and other signs of the new age.

It is very important to understand who we are dealing with now, what we are dealing with right up to the victorious end and complete defeat. Let's recall and compare historical facts. And we address five simple questions to the Anglo-Saxons.

QUESTION ONE: WHO BENEFITED FROM FASCISM?

After the defeat in the First World War, following the results of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, many serious restrictions were imposed on Germany. They concerned the size of the German army, military industry, a fairly wide range of military equipment . In addition, the aggressor (although he himself was devastated by the war) had to pay reparations to the winners in order to compensate for the damage caused. Under such conditions, the Third Reich would never have been able to rearm its army without relying on close cooperation with external forces. Revanchist and other ultra-radical sentiments, the ideas of forming a "new world order" led by the Aryan race do not bring money by themselves and remain words without financial support. The "Aryans" received money for the implementation of their plans from the Anglo-Saxons.

Why did the "benefactors" need these expenses? There is no need to look for motives. A hundred years ago, all the efforts of Western countries were aimed at neutralizing the "red threat" emanating from Soviet Russia. And they sincerely believed that Germany could rightfully become a bastion of the West against Bolshevism. During a conversation with Hitler in November 1937 Lord President of His Majesty's Privy Council E. Halifax (who became British Foreign Secretary a few months after this meeting), without skimping on emotions, said that "the Fuhrer achieved a lot not only in Germany itself – as a result of the destruction of communism in his country, he blocked his path to Western Europe ."1 In the old days in the global The military-political factor played a fundamental role in the rivalry. After 1917, slogans became an equally dangerous weapon. The idea of world unity of the working class, the right of nations to self–determination proclaimed by the Bolsheviks - all this found a warm response in other countries, gained whole cohorts of followers. This posed a direct risk both to the domestic political situation in European countries and to the established practice of exploiting overseas territories.

To prevent these processes, first you need to It was necessary to conquer the German bridgehead – economic, political, strategic and ideological. Even after the defeat in the war, this country has retained its industrial potential and human capital. And in the future, it could significantly affect the balance of power on a global scale.

The Anglo-Saxon elites set themselves the task of preventing the strengthening of relations between Moscow and Berlin by hook or by crook, and inciting Germany against the USSR Union created at the end of 1922. The USA and the UK with their plans world domination (and not peace and tranquility in Eurasia at all). It was unprofitable, moreover, deadly dangerous, the rapprochement and collaboration of the Weimar Republic and Soviet Russia. In this case, the Anglo-Saxons would lose key positions in their areas of interest. The Rapallo Treaty of 1922 concluded by Russia and Germany during the Genoa Conference and their subsequent steps. The partnership in the military-technical and industrial fields was strengthened by the possibility of forming a pact against the Anglo-Saxons. And in the ruling circles of Berlin at that moment there were quite a lot of supporters of a balanced line towards the Soviets. Thus, the commander of the Reichswehr ground forces, Colonel General H. von Seeckt, argued in the early 1920s that "the Army is very interested in using Germany against Russia. However, if Germany starts a war against Russia, it will he will wage a hopeless war."2 Such sentiments disturbed and irritated the Anglo-Saxons.

They were also concerned about the presence in Germany of a powerful Communist Party (KKE) led by E. Telman, who twice ran for president. The Social Democratic camp clearly lacked its own strength to strangle the Communists in its "affectionate embrace." It was necessary to inspire the emergence of such a political wing that could destroy the KKE without any regard for morality, law and public opinion.

Long before the career rise of the possessed Fuhrer in the United States and Britain, a support group was already ready for him, ideological inspirers came into force. Diverse groups of aggressive revanchists relied on the very popular theories of H.J. Mackinder, A.T. Mahan, and a little later N. Speakman, which appeared in the first half of the twentieth century. European zones of the planet: the so–called oceanic hemisphere (the west of the planet and the British Isles) and the continental hemisphere, the center of which was defined as the "Heartland" - a zone inaccessible to "sea" penetration and extremely important for maintaining strategic control over global political processes.

The "maritime civilizations" pinned a special, almost the last hope on Hitler. It was supposed to become a tool for the destruction of the emerging union of the two states and the destruction of internal ideological enemies – the German Communists.

The future Fuhrer was very well suited for this role. He acted contrary to the ideas of the founders of the German geopolitical class and military strategy, who called the main enemy of Germany the country of "maritime civilization" and from the experience of the First World War were convinced of the correctness of the advice of the "Iron Chancellor" Otto von Bismarck's "never go to war with Russia."

In addition, the policy of remilitarization and support for fascism Britain and America saw it not only as an important factor for deterring Soviet Russia, but also as an excellent tool for curbing the geopolitical aspirations of France, which, following the Versailles Peace, became the sole military and political leader on the continent.

QUESTION TWO: WHO LENT HITLER?

In the process of nurturing Nazi forces in Germany, there was a peculiar division of labor between Britain and the United States.

London has largely focused on the political and diplomatic support of the Third Reich. He did everything to bring the NSDAP, which had only 100 thousand members in 1928, into the leadership. For comparison: The Communist Party of Germany, so disliked by the authorities, in the autumn of 1923, had about 400 thousand people in its ranks. An important goal for the Anglo-Saxons was also to provide aggressive political marginals with the right to legitimately build up their military might. Negotiations "on the basis of recognition of Germany's equality in armaments" (the Nazi elite did not even expect such obsequious speed) began in 1934, and in the USSR, by the way, they were well known from the reports of the Soviet envoy to London.3 One of the means for this was the conclusion of the Anglo-German naval agreement of 1935, which equalized The Kriegsmarine in tonnage with the French and Italian fleets, i.e. for the first time recorded on paper equality between the victorious powers and the loser Germany.

British and American banks financed the development of the defense industry of Hitler's Germany, and the University of London, with the support of France, strongly encouraged Hitler's movement to the East.

At the same time, Washington successfully used its main tool-–money. Which, as you know, "do not smell". Taking advantage of the fact that after the defeat in the war, the German economy, although in a vulnerable state, had serious resources, America considered the wound as a sphere of inexpensive, but very promising investments for their large companies. Thus, the United States managed to expand sales markets, avoid an overproduction crisis, and mitigate the effects of the Great Depression of 1929-1932.

There was nothing new in this – a typical American scheme business as usual. It is no coincidence that during the Nuremberg trials, the former Reich Minister of Economics of Nazi Germany and the president of the Reichsbank, Ya. Schacht said: "If you want to charge the industrialists who helped rearm Germany, then you have to charge yourself. You will have to charge the Americans. The Opel automobile plant, for example, did not produce anything except military products. Your General Motors owned this plant."4

The words of the defendant minister in the United States were preferred "not to be heard." However, even criminals sometimes tell the truth. According to the results of the First World War, the economic center of the developed The capitalist countries have irrevocably moved overseas. By 1928, the volume of industrial production in the United States exceeded the total production of the whole of Europe west of the USSR. In addition, in the wake of the Entente placing large defense orders at American military-industrial complex enterprises, America became the main European creditor from the debtor, which it was at the beginning of the XX century. The war debts to the United States alone amounted to 10 billion US dollars in 1918 prices (a gigantic sum!). At the same time, Germany, which the victorious powers had so hoped for reparations from, could not help them in any way - in 1923, the so–called great inflation in this country amounted to a record 578,512%.

Anglo-American financial circles made excellent use of the impasse when Germany could not pay the bills, and France could not solve this problem in a non-military way. As a result, Europe is ripe for accepting American proposals. The London Conference of 1924 approved a new procedure for reparations payments to Germany submitted by the United States-–the Dawes plan, according to which German payments were halved, to 1 billion gold marks. Only by 1928, the amount of payments to the German Research Institute was supposed to grow to 2.5 billion marks. According to the plan developed in the bowels of the J. P. Morgan company, Germany a loan of 200 million US dollars was put up (and half of it was accounted for). 5

A very original and cunning system has developed, which was described by the absurd Weimar circle. With the funds received from the payment of reparations, European states primarily paid off loans from the United States. Thus, the money was returned (with interest) back to America. The Americans again sent these amounts to Germany, already in the form of loans at new significant interest rates.

The Dawes plan envisioned the economic recovery of Germany to the extent necessary to fulfill its obligations. The ingenuity of Dawes' plan was the fact that it not only relieved German pressure on the traditional markets where the allied states settled, but was also aimed at solving the "Russian question" beneficial to the allies. The flow of German goods to the market of the Soviet state, according to the authors of the plan, would be a reliable guarantee that the USSR would remain an economically weak country.

The anti-Soviet essence of the Dawes plan was clear to the leadership of the USSR initially. So, in his report at the XIV Congress of the CPSU(b) on December 18 In 1925, I.V. Stalin noted: "... part of this plan, which says that Germany should pump pennies for Europe at the expense of the Russian markets, is also a solution without a master. Why? Because that we do not want to turn into an agrarian country for any other country, including Germany. We will produce the machines and other means of production ourselves."6

As calculated by the modern American historian G. J. Pre Parata, who used the calculations of the English economist D. Aldcroft of the 1970s, only for 1924-1929. Germany has received 150 loans from the United States (half of them short-term) for a sum of almost 26 billion US dollars.7 Only $10.3 billion went to reparations payments; the rest of the funds "spread out" across the German economy. One of the executors of the Dawes plan, the German banker Schacht, noted in 1929: "Germany has received as many foreign loans in 5 years as America has received them in the 40 years preceding the First World War."8

As a result, Germany was hooked on loans. How D. G. Stern, head of the press bureau of the USSR Plenipotentiary Mission in Berlin, rightly wrote in 1929 in his analytical note, "a way was outlined to link the reparation problem with the interests of international capital; a way that led Germany to the need to open the gates wide for increased penetration of foreign capital into its national economy."9 The country and its industry lived in debt. Without the support from Washington, she would have been completely bankrupt. Isn't it a familiar and very modern scheme?

Anglo-Saxon loans that went mainly to restore the military-industrial potential of Germany played their part. Already in 1929, the German industry rose to the second place in the world. The Germans paid for the loans shares of industrial enterprises. Therefore, Anglo-American capital began to actively penetrate into Germany and occupied a significant sector in the German economy. In particular, the well-known The German chemical concern IG Farben industry was controlled by the American Standard Oil (i.e. the House of Rockefeller Rov). Depending on General Electric (i.e. Morgan House), Siemens and AEG were involved, and the American corporation IT Corporation owned up to 40% of German telephone networks. German metallurgy was largely dependent on Rockefeller, and Opel was under the control of General Motors (i.e., the Dupont House). The Anglo-Saxons did not forget the banking system the sphere, and railways, in general, are all more or less valuable German assets. In total, Standard Oil invested $120 million in the Third Reich, and General Motors invested $35 million USA, "AI-Ti-Ti" – 30 million US dollars. 10

.

Their British counterparts did not lag behind the Americans either.

The Bank of England served as an institution under the guarantees of which the major economic operators of Great Britain provided Germany with loans of copper, aluminum, nickel and other raw materials necessary for the military industry. English Concerns Imperial Chemical Industries and Vickers supplied raw materials and critical materials for the needs of the German military industry. At the end of 1934, the Reichsbank was provided with a loan of 750 thousand pounds sterling.

In December 1934, after a meeting between the head of the British oil corporation Royal Dutch Shell, the open Nazi G. Deterding, and Hitler, a deal was concluded between German industrialists and Anglo-American oil magnates: the latter provided Germany with petroleum products in the amount of its annual consumption for 1934. Supplies were carried out both openly and and by secret routes, in particular, through Canada. The Rolls-Royce automobile company handed over to the Hitler government, ostensibly for commercial purposes, a batch of new Kestrel-type engines used on combat aircraft. In April 1934, the company Armstrong-Siddeley sold aircraft engines to Germany, created as a result of many years of scientific and practical research by English engineers. And in May 1934, the Nazis placed an order in England for 80 powerful aircraft engines of this company. Planes were imported from England to Germany in commercial quantities, tanks, machine guns. Despite the fact that the rearmament of the Reich took on threatening proportions and the Nazis were preparing officially to announce the re-establishment of the air force and the introduction of universal conscription, the British government continued to support the formula of "equality" in armaments.

Nothing has changed since the Nazis took power. On the contrary, the Americans continued to provide their subsidiaries in Germany, i.e. Hitler, with the latest technologies at that time, without which it would have been impossible to unleash a large the war, which is so necessary for the United States to ensure its supremacy over the world. This applies primarily to the chemical industry, heavy and transport engineering and other key sectors of the German economy. By the mid-1930s, for years, American corporations have been active in Germany, acquiring more than 60 branches in this country. American capital controlled about 300 German companies. Even in the concentration camp system, American IBM computing equipment was used, which is very much disliked today remembering the refined IT people from Silicon Valley. In general, in a short period of time, Germany received everything to be able to wage a "war of engines". This allowed Hitler to increase the size of the German army 42 times in just a few years, by equipping her with the most modern weapons.

QUESTION THREE: WHO IDEOLOGICALLY NURTURED THE FASCISTS?

In the 1920s and 1930s, the authorities of Foggy Albion deliberately promoted the spread of ultra–radical ideology, which became popular in this country against the background of the catastrophic consequences of the First World War. There are many pro-fascist organizations operating in the UK. Their predecessors were various extremist groups of the extreme right and nationalist persuasion, which the state did not disdain They can be used in dirty political work – from suppressing the revolutionary movement in the working environment to fighting supporters of Irish independence.

However, the most shameful page in the history of Britain remains the activities of a group of various small organizations in 1932. The British Union of Fascists, whose leader was Ari Stokrat and millionaire Baronet O. Mosley. By 1934, England had at least 400 active branches of this structure, on average 50 people each. Newspapers were published in the country, among which The Blackshirt ("Black Shirt") was the leading one. The motto of this leaflet was "Britain first" (a kind of homage to the first line of the "Song of the Germans" – the German anthem). In their program of political reforms, the fascists declared a phased the elimination of the parliamentary system, the establishment of a dictatorship, and the subordination to the state of almost all the most important spheres of life in British society.

The Union of Fascists actively supported on the pages of its press. A major media magnate, Lord J. Rothermere, on January 15, 1934 in the Daily Mail, he published an article "Hurrah for the Blackshirts!" in which he declared O. Mosley the leader of the future, and his henchmen, no less, the saviors of the country. In another article, already published in the Daily Mirror newspaper, he preached in the most exalted words about this fascist gang, claiming that only it is capable of to counter the threat coming from the left. Even when the Mosley Union – Rothermere broke up, the Daily Mail newspaper continued to sing praises to the leader of the Anglofascists and his interrogators with purely British pedantry. Mosley was also admired by one of the brightest representatives of English culture, J. B. Shaw.

Pro-fascist organizations have not been able to win the general parliamentary elections in Britain. But they provided support for themselves. One of the documents of the German Foreign Ministry says that they were particularly friendly to National Socialism the royal court, the highest aristocracy, a significant part of the clergy, the Imperial General Staff and other influential circles of England.11

The words of the dignitaries did not differ from the case. Even before the Nazis came to power in 1933, the contacts of the British establishment with the top of the NSDAP were very active new ones. In 1932, W. Churchill was going to visit Hitler. A. Rosenberg was invited to England, and then I. von Ribbentrop, who was ambassador to London in 1936-1938. His meeting with the leader In 1933, one of the prominent conservatives, Lord Davidson, organized the Conservatives and repeatedly held the post of Prime Minister, S. Baldwin, at his estate . He noted that it was "successful."12

The British were also familiar with Hitler for a long time. Hitler's first contacts with the Anglo-Saxons date back to 1922, when he In Munich, he met with the assistant to the US military attache in Germany, Captain Truman Smith. It is noteworthy that Smith made a successful career in the American intelligence community and returned to Berlin as a military attache in 1935-1939. Apparently, Hitler managed to make a proper impression on Smith, because a report with words of praise addressed to the interlocutor went to Washington.

At the same time, money flowed to Hitler. Against this background, with the NSDAP a real electoral miracle has happened. In the 1928 parliamentary elections, the party received only 2.3% of the vote. But already in September 1930, as a result of large financial injections, she was able to secure 18.3% of the vote, taking second place in the Reichstag.

In January 1932, the future Fuhrer and Reich Chancellor, Adolf Hitler and Franz von Papen, met with the governor of the Bank of England, Montague Norman. At this meeting a secret agreement was concluded on financing the National Socialist German Workers' Party through banks in Sweden and Switzerland. No wonder the largest cruise ship in Germany, according to built in 1945 by the legendary A.I. Marinesko, it was named after the inveterate Nazi Wilhelm Gustloff, who lived in Switzerland as the actual financial contact of the Hitlers with the largest countries of the world.

There are many other examples. In the summer of 1938, the future "convinced opponent of Nazism" W. Churchill declared in no uncertain terms that he "is not an opponent of German power, and most British people want Germany to take its place as one of the two or three leading powers of the world."13 Probably, British politicians could be justified by the fact that they, they say they did not understand the true essence of the growing strength of Hitlerism, they can be embodied, they did not know and did not want it ... However, the fact remains that they did everything to make it happen.

The "cherry" on this rotten "cake" is the poorly concealed pro–Nazi views of the British King Edward VIII, who received the title of Duke of Windsor after his abdication in 1937. It was under him in the summer of 1936 that the Nazis occupied the demilitarized Rhineland, and Britain (largely from the monarch's country) only contributed to this. The King believed that The Rhineland historically belongs to Germany. And I knew that If necessary, a special pact could be concluded with Hitler, according to which he pledged to be responsible for the population of the Rhineland. In October 1937, he and his wife W. Simpson (also known for their sympathies by the Third Reich) visited Nazi Germany and met with Hitler there. Moreover, according to data released by the Brit dances themselves, in the event of a German victory in World War II, the Nazis planned to return the abdicated Edward VIII to the throne, making him the puppet ruler of Britain.14

In general, this behavior of the upper class of Great Britain had its own background. The main ideas of Nazism are not Germanic or Aryan in origin. The role of the Anglo-Saxons in the rise and victory of National Socialism in Germany is enormous. In England, the identification of oneself with the God-chosen people spread widely in the minds of people back in the Middle Ages and early A new time. So, in the XVII century. the leader of the English revolution, O. Cromwell, did not consider the whole Christian world, but only the British as the people of God, and Britain as the New Israel. A significant contribution to rooting in the mass public consciousness of the British, extreme forms of socio-political nationalism in the 19th century. It was introduced by Prime Minister B. Disraeli, who is characteristically an ethnic Jew. He strongly rejected the idea of the priority of the innate rights of the Englishman over human rights in general, admired British imperialism and colonialism. He was also the first European politician to declare that "race is everything; and the only thing that creates race is blood."15

Another founding father, who carried out the actual synthesis of anti-Semitic schools that existed during pan-Germanism with dominant positions of racism, was the writer and philosopher H.S. Chamberlain. His pseudoscientific theory of the superiority of some human races over others, reflected in the scandalous book "Fundamentals of the XIX century", had a great influence on the main works of Nazi leaders, including Hitler and A. Rosenberg. J. Goebbels even called this figure "the father of our spirit"16.

The racial theory of the Third Reich could not have taken place even without the disgusting and deceitful, but very popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries, doctrine of human improvement through forced selection – eugenics. Its leader is Ch's cousin. Darwin F. Galton – created the British Eugenic Society (which, by the way, still exists and only in 1989, under public pressure, changed its name an odious name for the Galton Institute). The theories he promoted involved the application of biological concepts of natural selection and survival of individuals most adapted to sociology, economics and politics. This subsequently gave the Nazis grounds to put into practice the principles of racial hygiene, conduct experiments on people and destroy entire ethnic groups – Slavs, Jews, Gypsies, etc. A powerful influence on German Nazism was exerted by the British professor of eugenics K. Pearson, who argued that the engine of human progress is racial conflict.17

The Nobel Laureate in Literature also left not far from them 1907 the writer R. Kipling, who performed various delicate tasks of British intelligence. In his opinion, England was able to seize power over overseas territories thanks to the "special favor of the Lord", and the payment for his mercy was the spilled English blood. In addition, in one of his most famous poems, "The Burden of the White Man," Kipling wrote about the importance of the imperialist mission in the colonies, depicting indigenous peoples, non-European peoples are underdeveloped and in need of support from nations that are more civilized and developed, i.e. European.

QUESTION FOUR: WHO "EXCUSED" THE CRIMINALS?

Speaking about the murky financial schemes of the interwar period, it is important to make one historical digression. To implement the Jung Plan adopted in 1929 (a modified version of the Dawes plan already mentioned), the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) was established in 1930 in Basel , in which, even during the Second World War, cooperation continued between directors from the countries of the anti-Hitler coalition (France, Great Britain and the USA) and from the states of the fascist bloc (Germany and Italy). As part of this "communication", it was not only about paying German reparations for the First World War. Interested in purchasing goods, including strategic ones, through neutral countries, Germany did not have enough currency for this . Therefore, the BIS exchanged gold received by the Nazis in concentration camps from murdered prisoners for freely convertible currency, for which transactions were carried out in Sweden and other neutral countries.

Another detail, surprising in its degree of cynicism. All these plans by Dawes, Jung, etc. They were never convicted after the end of World War II. Conversely. No one disputed the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to C. G. Dawes in 1925! Already in 2019, O. Jung was inducted into the Hall of Fame of the influential American Consumer Technology Association, which unites more than 2,000 key US tech giants. Comments are superfluous.

Curiously, after the Second World War, the leader of the "black shirts" O. Mosley returned to active political activity and in 1947 founded the Unionist Movement, which included over 50 small far-right organizations and groups. In the post-war years, he actively defended the idea of uniting Western European countries to counter the aggressive aspirations of the USSR in Europe, in fact advocating the implementation of the same ideas as the Fuhrer of the German nation, but through the "reincarnation of the Third Reich into the fourth." Subsequently, his idea will be put into practice – it is enough to recall that many people seriously called the European Union the "Fourth Reich". The political agenda of the unionists included the buildup of the military power of Great Britain to the level of the USA and the USSR, and the formation of a pan-European government to solve international problems, defense issues, economic policy, finance and national development. Mosley disagreed with the results of the Nuremberg Trials of Nazi criminals and was one of Britain's first Holocaust deniers. And again, it should be noted: he did not bear any punishment for this. He even managed to release a best-selling autobiography with the provocative title "My Life" (the British bowed to the Fuhrer until the last days of his life, and he died in 1980).

The fate of another English scoundrel, A. Liza, who in 1929 founded the Imperial Fascist League–a political competitor of the British Union of Fascists, turned out well. Arnold Liz was an even bigger fan of racial theory and anti-Semitism than O. Mosley. And even this did not prompt the British authorities to hold him accountable for extremism: he was one of the last leaders of the fascist movement, whom the international the United Kingdom at the beginning of the Second World War. Due to poor health, A. Liz was released in 1943 and published his magazine "Gothic Ripples", in which his misanthropic views flourished.

From the point of view of the logic of the historical process, the Second World War had a circular composition – "from the palace to the palace of Central Asia". The fighting, which began on September 1, 1939, was preceded by a fierce diplomatic struggle in European palaces and residences. During various meetings and backstage negotiations in Berchtesgaden, Fuhrerbau, Bad Godesberg, Paris, each side pursued several goals. Nazi Germany wanted revenge for the humiliating paradigm imposed on it by the Versailles-Washington order. The victorious powers following the results of the First World War – Great Britain and France –intended to get rid of Germany with the help of gaining strength from the "ghost of communism". As a maximum, by directing the aggressive German claims to the east, and at least by "making deals with the aggressors at the expense of third countries"18. To all those who have expressed perplexity regarding the connivance of predatory the aspirations of the Nazis, including in the leadership of Czechoslovakia and Poland, hypocritically stated that "in the foreseeable future it would be unprofitable for Berlin to attack them."19

From a political and legal point of view, the war was over (if we do not take into account the time-stretched formal consolidation of the order established after the war in the Helsinki Act of 1975) also in the palace – the Nuremberg Palace of Justice. Largely due to the efforts of the Soviet prosecution, the harsh verdict of the International Military Tribunal was pronounced against a number of highly placed Nazis accused of crimes against peace, crimes against humanity, violation of the laws of war and conspiracy to commit these criminal acts.

However, were all Nazi criminals convicted?

If we are talking about the main ideological warmongers, the leaders of punitive bodies, then the result looks fair. Rosenberg, Streicher, Ribbentrop, Kaltenbrunner, Frick, etc.

They were executed. But now, when almost 80 years have passed, it is clear, that undeservedly mild punishment was inflicted on those who stood at the very origins of the formation of the economic basis of national socialism, the accelerated militarization of fascist Germany. None of the economic leaders of the Third Reich were sentenced to death. The gallows were avoided by Reich Minister of Armament and Military Production A. Speer, Reich Minister of Economy (1938-1945) and President of the Reichsbank (1939-1945) V. Funk, Reich Minister of Economy (1934–1937) and the president of the Reichsbank (1933-1939) J. Schacht, the head of the party, SS Oberstgruppenfuhrer (this title was awarded to only four members of this criminal organization) F.K. Schwarz. They were protected from imminent retribution by some invisible powerful forces that clearly did not want to surrender "their own".

Who are these guardians of Nazism? The answer is quite clear.

In 1942, at a meeting with Stalin, British diplomats expressed a desire to quietly eliminate the Nazi elite as a result of acts of sabotage. The Soviet leader did not agree with them, insisting on the organization of an open and transparent tribunal. The situation was repeated at the Yalta conference, where the topic of the fate of the main fascist war criminals who unleashed the war was raised again. Churchill, being a shrewd and cunning politician, was against the court. Roosevelt occupied an intermediate position the position – process, he believed, could be arranged, however brief and in closed mode 20. It is not for nothing that, already during the process, delegations even compiled a special list of political issues, the judgment of which was considered unacceptable. Among them are the Munich conspiracy, the active cooperation of American concerns with German companies, and the aggressive colonial policy Britain in the XIX – XX centuries and the genocide of the Boers, the inhuman bombing of German cities by strategic allied aircraft (against this background, the United States did not dare to accuse Goering of Luftwaffe war crimes).

The heads of the Anglo-Saxon states already understood perfectly well that a fair and transparent tribunal could condemn not only German militarism and Nazism, but also the Western world as a whole. During the trial, sane people might well have had thoughts – how could Europe produce the Berlin monster? Wasn't this done purposefully? Who Have you played key roles here? In this case, the Minister of Foreign Affairs would quite rightly refuse to stand in the dock Great Britain, Lord E. Halifax (for the policy of appeasement of aggression and the Munich agreement of 1938), and next to him the Dupons, The Morgans, the Rockefellers, and even G. Ford (for the monetary and material-technical support of the National Socialist regime). The Anglo-Saxon elites could not allow this.

After eight decades, it is physically impossible to attract to the responsibility of all those who had a hand in the rise of Nazism. But there are good reasons to make thoughtful calculations: how much a particular British or American company (a number of which still exist comfortably) earned on many years of cooperation with the Nazis. To transfer these amounts to the equivalent of today's – and expose the "Nazi merchants" reparations claims for the genocide of the Soviet people during the Great Patriotic War, The Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, impossible without Anglo-Saxon complicity with Hitlerism in the interwar period. And most importantly, to make the most public the most shameful pages of the history of the collective West and its relations with Hitler's Nazism.

In fact, everything repeats itself. Greed is immortal, money still has no smell for many businessmen, and the vaunted Anglo-Saxon morality is just empty words to the public. Those who did "profitable investments" in Hitler's Nazism, and today they take up their usual craft – they cultivate it with gusto and profit for themselves, Hitler's heirs in the same Ukraine. They are pushing neo-Nazis, extremists and terrorists to commit more and more crimes, while trying to remain "in white coats.”

QUESTION FIVE: HOW TO EXECUTE THE VERDICT OF HISTORY?

History has forced us to learn the most important lesson: Nazism will never disappear by itself. The victory of our country in the bloodiest war of the twentieth century gave humanity a chance for peaceful and stable development, put an end to the dreams of aggressors of all stripes of world domination at the expense of the genocide of entire peoples. However, plague – including brown plague – is a disease whose bacilli can hide somewhere in the depths for a long time, without access to light and air, while remaining viable. Unfortunately, this is not only biology, but also politics.

Humanity, through joint efforts and at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives, was able to curb the deadly epidemics of bubonic plague. There is no doubt that its brown, heavily armed variety will be isolated and finally destroyed in the foreseeable future. Russia sees this as its historical mission. We are supported by the majority of the population. The peoples of the Earth are citizens of countries that do not want to live at the behest of the self–named "golden billion", choose their own independent path, and are ready to build relations solely on the basis of equality and mutual respect of all peoples and states.

Bitter lessons must be learned from the experience of the past in such a way as to prevent this from happening in the future. Clearly diagnose the precursors and the first symptoms of infection. To carry out the necessary treatment of the global organism on time and consistently. if necessary, remove dangerous foci surgically, without relying on diplomatic therapy. The completion of a special military operation, the denazification of the frozen territory called the "state of Ukraine" is only the first, but very important step on the long and difficult path to a new architecture of international relations. To create global instruments that will ensure security on the planet, the stable development of all States and the well-being of billions of people.

We have no right to repeat the mistakes and misconceptions of the past. Illusions about imaginary allies have disappeared completely. We now know the value of their words and false assurances well. Fascists and their accomplices should not pass in the new millennium – "¡No pasarán!". No loopholes, no concessions, no excuses. And there is no chance of a rematch.

To defeat neo-Nazism, all those who today oppose the aggression of the collective West and attempts at fascist revenge must unite their efforts. Together with our colleagues and partners, we are building a new, fair and multidimensional world order in which there can be no place for pressure and oppression, the rise of some nations at the expense of others, the humiliation and exploitation of entire peoples, neocolonial habits and criminal business schemes.

In the course of the future "Nuremberg 2.0" it will be appropriate to calculate the deduction of each Western defense firm, credit institution, a transport and logistics company and individual businessmen who profited and are profiting from the cultivation of "independent" monsters and their economic support. And book a place in the dock for everyone who is directly or indirectly involved in crimes against hundreds of civilians. To condemn those whose swollen bank accounts contain blood and tears, ruins of houses and fragments of destinies, horror and pain of innocent people, the future of entire generations trampled into the ground. And now it is necessary to carry out all the sentences imposed, without allowing None of the perpetrators can escape just retribution.

I am convinced that after the victorious completion of the special military operation, justice will overtake not only the immediate perpetrators – the leaders of the Kiev regime, but also their owners, sponsors and ideological inspirers. And this will mean the final end of the false value system of the Anglo-Saxon world.
