“We must lead ninety million out of the one hundred who inhabit Soviet Russia. We cannot talk to the rest, they must be killed off.”
Grigory Zinoviev, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Comintern. 1918.
In these words that assert the necessity of genocide Russia is still Russia.
But in 1922, it will again resort to substituting concepts and proclaim the “USSR” – that is, the Union of Republics.
This fake was no less successful than the change of “Moscovy” to “Russian Empire”.
And to this day, millions in the world and Ukraine do not understand that the USSR was Russia, which occupied these “republics”, each of which it totally controlled.
In the 20th century, Russia exterminated millions of Ukrainians. The main tool was terror, and the goal was to bring a huge people to their knees.
In 1917, the Ukrainian People’s Republic was proclaimed in Kyiv.
After systematic subversive activities that ended in the failure of an armed uprising against the Central Rada (the governing body of the UNR in Kyiv), Russia issued an ultimatum to the Ukrainian Central Government.
One of a number of unacceptable demands was the legalization of Russian Bolshevik armed units that opposed the UNR.
Russia declared war if the ultimatum was not met within 48 hours and immediately began amassing troops on the border.
The Russian armed invasion began the very next day after the Central Rada rejected the ultimatum.
The scenario was the same as in the old days, as well as during the 1939 invasion of Finland, other European countries, and Ukraine in 2014.
Seizure of territories, proclamation of “people’s power”, if necessary, a new capital of the “people’s republic”. After Sudzha, Kharkiv was occupied by the Russians, where they drove armored cars with the inscription “Death to Ukrainians!” The fake “people’s republic” “appealed” to Russia for help in the fight against the “illegitimate government in an internal conflict.”
The commander of the Russian troops, a former tsarist general, Muravyov, adhered to the sadistic traditions of his predecessors.
Horrible crimes were recorded in Odessa, Katerinoslav, Poltava, and Kharkiv. The Russians skinned people alive, impaled priests, roasted chained prisoners over low heat, and boiled them alive. To “collect” money for the needs of the Russians, on the orders of Muravyov, wealthy people were taken hostage en masse.
In January 1918, Muravyov’s troops began storming Kyiv. Over three days, 15,000 shells were fired at the city center. The artillerymen deliberately destroyed masterpieces of Kyiv architecture, which Muravyov wrote about with pleasure and delight. Kyiv was seized only after the Russians used chemical weapons.
In occupied Kyiv, the Russians began mass executions without trial or investigation. They killed priests (including Metropolitan Volodymyr of Kyiv and Galicia), representatives of the intelligentsia, the military, and anyone who had any papers in Ukrainian or spoke it. At the same time, the city was completely looted for several weeks. After the fall of Kyiv, the total number of those killed reached 5,000.
These atrocities were the practical implementation of Lenin’s theory of terror as the main means of establishing the so-called “dictatorship of the proletariat”.
As historical facts prove, it has always been the main method of Moscovy and Russia.
In the same 1918, the decree “On the Red Terror” legalized mass murders, which, despite the changes in the names of Russia, have continued throughout history to this day.
Kyiv was reoccupied by the Russians in 1919. And terror resumed on an even larger scale.
According to archival data, the Russians shot or tortured tens of thousands in Kyiv alone.
