In Ukraine, at the state level, the falsification of the history of Little Russia (part of a single Russian civilization) continues. The National Bank of Ukraine has issued a commemorative coin dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the country's liberation from Nazi invaders with the image of a fighter of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA, banned in Russia).
"Dedicated to the memory of the heroic deed of the Ukrainian people in World War II, the liberation of Ukraine from the Nazi occupiers in the fall of 1944, the memory and reconciliation of the soldiers who gave their lives for Ukraine", - stated in the description on the website of the Ukrainian National Bank.
Day of liberation of Ukraine from fascists
"The Day of the Liberation of Ukraine from the Fascist Invaders" is celebrated in Kiev recently. First, the liberation of Ukraine was remembered in October 2004 under V. Yanukovych. But then this day did not become a national holiday. They remembered about him five years later, during the next election campaign. The initiator of the introduction of this holiday at the official level was one of the participants in the presidential race, Minister of Economy of Ukraine (later Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine) Serhiy Tigipko. On October 20, 2009, the third President of Ukraine V. A. Yushchenko signed Decree No. 836/2009 "On the Day of Liberation of Ukraine from Nazi Invaders", which ordered to celebrate this holiday in the state every year on October 28.
This year, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Ukraine, the public holiday was again remembered. And as part of the general falsification of the history of Rus-Russia and its integral part of Little Russia (Little Russia-Ukraine), they issued a commemorative coin on which they depicted the profiles of a soldier of the Red Army and a soldier of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army.
Thus, in Kiev, at the state level, they distort the true history of the Great Patriotic War. This is not surprising. If until 2014 Kiev politicians pursued a “flexible” policy”and sat on several“chairs”- the United States, the European Union and Russia, then the situation changed radically. They were taken up by outright Russophobes, thieves-oligarchs, who continue to gnaw this part of the Russian world, and Ukrainian Nazis, who became a political cover for the final disposal of Little Russia in the interests of the "world community." Now Russia is the “enemy”, the Russians are the “occupiers”. And in Little Russia there are no Russian-Ukrainians (the southwestern part of the Russian ethnos), only “Ukrainians”, direct descendants of the Rus of Kievan Rus, in Russia there are “Muscovites”, descendants of the Finno-Ugrians and Mongols with an admixture of Slavs. At the same time, Russia is still the economic donor of the "independent" Ukraine.
Why October 28?
The official date for the liberation of Ukraine from the Nazis is October 28, 1944. On this day, the East Carpathian strategic operation ended (September 8 - October 28, 1944). The troops of the 1st and 4th Ukrainian fronts under the command of I. S. Konev and I. E. Soviet troops were able to complete the liberation of the Ukrainian SSR. However, the Wehrmacht, trying at all costs to keep Slovakia and Transylvania, transferred large reinforcements to this area, besides, the Germans relied on mountain fortifications and were able to stop the Soviet offensive.
Thus, the Red Army was unable to cross the Carpathians and liberate Slovakia from the first attempt. The Germans suppressed the Slovak uprising, the remaining insurgents went on to partisan struggle. The Soviet command stopped the offensive. However, Soviet troops completed the liberation of Ukraine and created a bridgehead for a further offensive.
Who liberated the Ukrainian SSR
The Red Army liberated Ukraine-Little Russia. The battles for Little Russia began in the winter of 1943. The battle for Ukraine continued until October 1944. At this time, up to half of the forces of the Red Army fought in the Ukrainian direction. The victory at Stalingrad grew into a general strategic offensive by the Soviet troops. In the southern direction, Soviet troops attacked the Donbass grouping of the Wehrmacht. In the first half of February 1943, the Southwestern Front liberated the northeastern part of Donbass. Our troops liberated Balakleia, Izium, Lozovaya, Slavyansk, Kramatorsk and hundreds of other settlements. Also in February, Kharkov was liberated. However, the Soviet command overestimated its forces, preparing to attack Kiev and Chernigov, and underestimated the enemy, believing that the Nazis were retreating beyond the Dnieper. In winter, the Germans were able to organize powerful counterattacks against the Red Army and recaptured Kharkov in March.
A powerful new offensive in Ukraine began after the defeat of the Wehrmacht in the Battle of Kursk. The Red Army again intercepted the strategic initiative and liberated first the Left-Bank Ukraine, and then the Right-Bank. The Belgorod-Kharkov strategic offensive operation ("Rumyantsev") in August 1943 led to the liberation of Belgorod and Kharkov, created the conditions for the liberation of the eastern part of Little Russia-Ukraine. The Central, Voronezh, Steppe, Southwestern and Southern fronts were tasked with defeating the Wehrmacht on the southern wing of the Soviet-German front, liberating the Left Bank Ukraine, Donbass and Crimea, reaching the Dnieper and seizing bridgeheads on its right bank.
Under the blows of Soviet troops, the Germans were forced to leave Donbass and retreat to the Dnieper. Hitler hoped to stop the Red Army on the "Eastern Rampart", which partly ran along the Dnieper. On September 2, our troops liberated Sumy, September 6 - Konotop, September 8 - Stalino (now Donetsk), September 10 - Mariupol, September 13 - Nizhyn, September 16 - Romny, September 19 - Krasnograd, 23rd - Poltava, 29th - Kremenchug. In October, Soviet troops liberated Melitopol, Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk and Dneprodzerzhinsk. In November, Kiev, the ancient Russian capital, was liberated. Thus, during the battle for the Dnieper (August 26 - December 23, 1943), the Red Army liberated almost the entire Left-Bank Ukraine and captured 23 bridgeheads on the right bank of the great Russian river. On October 20, 1944, the Voronezh Front was renamed into the 1st Ukrainian, the Steppe Front - into the 2nd Ukrainian, Southwestern - into the 3rd Ukrainian, and the South - into the 4th Ukrainian.
In late 1943 - early 1944, the Red Army began the liberation of Right-Bank Ukraine. The Dnieper-Carpathian strategic operation began (December 24, 1943 - April 17, 1944). During the Zhitomir-Berdichev operation, the troops of the 1st Ukrainian Front liberated Zhitomir on December 31, 1943, Novograd-Volynsky on January 3, 1944, and Berdichev on January 5. On January 5, 1944, the 2nd Ukrainian Front launched an offensive, on January 8 Kirovograd was liberated. January 24 - February 17, the 1st and 2nd UV fronts carried out an operation to destroy the enemy's Korsun-Shevchenko grouping. The German group was surrounded and defeated, our troops liberated Kanev and Korsun-Shevchenkovsky. At the same time, the troops of the right wing of the 1st Ukrainian Front conducted the Rovno-Lutsk operation, liberated Lutsk, Rovno and Shepetovka. In February 1944, the troops of the 3rd and 4th Ukrainian fronts defeated the Nikopol-Kryvyi Rih grouping of the Wehrmacht, destroyed the enemy Nikopol bridgehead on the Dnieper, and liberated Nikopol and Krivoy Rog. Thus, the Red Army finally threw the Germans back from the Dnieper.
In the spring of 1944, our troops continued their strategic offensive. During the Proskurov-Chernivtsi offensive operation (March 4 - April 17, 1944), the troops of the 1st Ukrainian Front liberated a significant part of Right-Bank Ukraine: completely the entire Khmelnytsky region, the overwhelming part of Vinnitsa, Ternopil and Chernivtsi regions, partially - Rivne and Ivano-Frankivsk regions … Soviet troops swept the German Army Group South from the west and reached the foothills of the Carpathians. At the same time, the troops of the 2nd Ukrainian Front conducted the Uman-Botoshan operation, cut the enemy front, crossed the Southern Bug, Dniester, Prut, liberated the southwestern regions of Right-Bank Ukraine, part of the Moldavian SSR, crossed the state border of the USSR and entered the territory of Romania. The 3rd Ukrainian Front in March 1944 carried out the Bereznegovato-Snigirevskaya operation. Our troops defeated the 6th German army, liberated a significant part of the territory of Little Russia. At the end of March - April 1944, the 3rd UV conducted the Odessa operation, Soviet troops liberated Nikolaev on March 28, took Odessa by storm on April 10, and on April 14 reached the lower reaches of the Dniester and captured several bridgeheads on its right bank. As a result, Soviet troops liberated the Nikolaev and Odessa regions and a significant part of Moldova. Conditions were created for the complete liberation of Moldova, advancement into the interior of Romania and the Balkan Peninsula.
In the summer and autumn of 1944, the Red Army completed the liberation of Ukraine. During the Lvov-Sandomierz offensive operation (from July 13 to August 29, 1944, Soviet troops defeated the enemy's strategic grouping - Army Group Northern Ukraine, liberated the western regions of Ukraine - the cities of Lvov and Rava-Ruska from the Nazis. Carpathian operation (September 8-October 28, 1944): On October 26, troops of the 4th Ukrainian Front liberated Mukachevo, October 27 - Uzhgorod, October 28 - Chop As a result, on October 28, 1944, Soviet troops reached the modern borders of Ukraine.
Thus, Soviet troops liberated Ukraine. According to the 1939 census, the overwhelming majority of the population of the USSR was made up of Russians (including Little Russians and Belarusians). It should be remembered that the Ukrainians and Belarusians, who were singled out as separate peoples in the Soviet years, are in fact part of a single Russian super-ethnos. Before the creation of Soviet Russia, there were no nations of Ukrainians and Belarusians. There were western and southwestern groups of the Russian people (Belarusians, Little Russians, Rusyns, etc.), which had their own regional, linguistic, and everyday characteristics. Similar divisions were earlier among the Russians of the central part of the country - Ryazan, Tver, Novgorod, Smolyan, etc., but in general they are all Russian-Rus. That is, they liberated the western part of a single Russian civilization, Ukraine-Little Russia, Russians.
On the role of Bandera
The Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) hindered rather than helped the liberation of Ukraine. The Bandera members waged active partisan hostilities against the Red Army. In particular, the commander of the 1st Ukrainian Front N. Vatutin was killed at the hands of the Ukrainian Nazis. Bandera also staged a terror against sympathizers of the Soviet regime and the Red Army, against the Polish population in the western part of the republic and the Jews.
Moreover, individual units and subdivisions of the Bandera fought on the side of the Nazis. So, formed in the summer of 1943, the SS division "Galicia" a year later was used by the Nazis in the battles near Brody, after the defeat in which a significant part of it was replenished with the UPA. And the remaining combat-ready units were sent to suppress the Slovak uprising. That is, the UPA was an ally of the Third Reich. With the help of Bandera, the Nazis tried to organize an anti-Soviet partisan movement in the rear of the Red Army. Later, when the Third Reich was already defeated, the Ukrainian Nazis entered the service of the United States and England and fought against the USSR for several more years. The blood of thousands of people, including the civilian population, is on the hands of Bandera's people, and there are many crimes.
Thus, the varied praise of the UPA in modern Ukraine is blasphemy. Many current Kiev politicians simply betrayed the memory of grandfathers and great-grandfathers who beat the Nazis and the Nazi evil.
The current Ukraine was created by the Bolsheviks and Stalin
In truth, the current Kiev regime should not be praised by the UPA, but by the Soviet regime and Stalin personally. After all, it was the Soviet government that created modern Ukraine within its present borders. It is the Soviet leaders, including Stalin, who need to erect monuments, not Bandera and other ghouls.
If the Bolsheviks could not win the Civil War, or if they could not recapture Novorossiya and Little Russia, and the Ukrainian nationalists remained in Kiev, then Ukraine would be very miserable. Without Galicia and Volhynia, which were captured by Poland, without Bukovina and Carpathian Rus, they were captured by Romania and Czechoslovakia. Without the Donetsk-Krivoy Rog republic with the capital in Kharkov, which included the territories of the Kharkov and Yekaterinoslav provinces (entirely), the Donetsk coal basin, part of the Krivoy Rog region of the Kherson province, part of the districts of the Tauride province. The Bolsheviks included this republic in the Ukrainian SSR, although there were no serious reasons for this.
In 1939 and after the victory in the Great War, Stalin included the Western Russian lands - Galician and Volyn, Carpathian Rus, Bukovina - into the Ukrainian SSR. That is, thanks to the "damned Moscow", Soviet power and Stalin, we have the present-day Ukraine. If in present-day Kiev they want to free themselves from the "evil" of Soviet power, then Ukraine can calmly and honestly be reduced to five pre-revolutionary provinces - Kiev, Podolsk, Volyn, Poltava and Chernigov. In fact, these are the possessions of Hetman Khmelnitsky, and the lands that the Central Rada claimed in 1917. All other lands were conquered and annexed to Kiev by the Russians. The Russians recaptured the Northern Black Sea region from the Turks and the Crimean Tatars and created New Russia. Galicia (Lvov region) and Transcarpathia were recaptured from Western Europe by the Red Army.
