NOTE: Today is the 70th anniversary of The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, colloquially named after Soviet foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov and German foreign minister Joachim von Ribbentrop. It was a German-Soviet agreement, titled the "Treaty of Non-aggression between the Third German Reich and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" and signed in Moscow in the early hours of August 24, 1939 (but dated August 23). It was a Non-Aggression Pact between the two countries and pledged neutrality by either party if the other were attacked by a third party. Each signatory promised not to join any grouping of powers that was "directly or indirectly aimed at the other party." It remained in effect until June 22, 1941 when Germany implemented Operation Barbarossa, invading its ally, the Soviet Union.

In addition to stipulations of non-aggression, the treaty included a secret protocol dividing Eastern and Central Europe into German and Soviet spheres of influence, anticipating potential "territorial and political rearrangements" of these countries. Thereafter, Germany and the Soviet Union invaded their respective portions of Poland: Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe attacked from the West on the 1st of September 1939, and two week later, on the 17th - Red Army, from the East. Part of eastern Finland was annexed by the Soviet Union after an attempted invasion. This was followed by Soviet annexations of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and eastern and northern Romania. The protocol is considered one of the greatest crimes against peace in human history and one more example of the insidious German - Russian conspiracy to conduct war of aggression . The Pact encouraged Hitler to attack Poland and provided his armies with enormous supplies of natural resources from territory of the Soviet Union.

On 23 September 1939, in the town Brześć Litewski on the new German-Soviet borderline, a grand Nazi-Soviet victory parade took place, followed by a new Pact Of Friendship signed in Moscow on the 28th of September. This Pact guaranteed the cooperation of the Soviet and Nazi armies, as well as the secret policies of both countries (German Gestapo and Soviet NKWD) to undertake short- and long-term operations against all kinds of Polish resistance movement as well as „eliminating the elites of the nation" in purpose of preventing such activity in future. This pact meant a death or a long-term improisonment sentences for tens of thousands of Polish teachers, doctors, chaplans, artist, intellectuals of all kindsliving on a territory of the occupied Poland. It also meant the death sentences for tens of thnousands of Polish soldiers and officers, captured and arrested by the Red Army in the begining of the war and sent to the Gulags. The best known throughout the world was the Katyń massacre (10 000 murdered Polish officers) the responsibility for, Russian authorities - no matter whether communist or not - stubbornly refuse to admit.

...co na temat Paktu Ribbentrop-Mołotow wypisuje się w tych dniach w Rosji. - Tak to prawda. Jedynym jasnym punktem jest "Nowaja Gazieta", której współpracownicy są mordowani przez "nieznanych sprawców". - pozdrawiam Elżbieta

[240252]

W dzisiejszej Rzepie jest ciekawa rozmowa o tym z jednym z takich właśnie niewielu sprawiedliwych w Rosji, Olegiem Chlebnikowem z "Nowej Gaziety"

[dumowska]

Wspaniałe Pan to zrobił!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[240252]

Dziękuję! Dla Twego pokolenia to już b. odległa historia - ale jej skutki wciąż trwają. Wystarczy przeczytać dzisiejszą prasę, która cytuje, co w tych dniach na temat Paktu Ribbentrop-Mołotow a także rzekomej "winy" Polski w rozpętaniu II Wojny Światowej - wypisuje się w Rosji. Niedobrze się robi. I pod tymi bredniami podpisują się tytuły profesorskie. Co się dzieje z tym narodem?

[Gadomska]

Dzekuje,za upamietnienie tego tragicznego dnia dla naszej Ojczyzny.

[240252]

Dziękuję i pozdrawiam. Właśnie odpisałem Danielowi (dumowska) jak smutno się robi człowiekowi, gdy czyta dzisiejszą prasę i to, co na temat Paktu Ribbentrop-Mołotow wypisuje się w tych dniach w Rosji. Żadnych przeprosin, żadnego poczucia winy. Tylko pycha samodzierżawna i wciąż te ich chorobliwe oskarżenia miotane na wszystkich wokół, a na Polskę - w pierwszej linii. Wciąż nie mogą nam wybaczyć naszego katolicyzmu i łupnia, jakiego dostali od Piłsudskiego w 1920 r.

I'm aware that Churchill was a major war monger but heard that he was especially adept at cocksucking...anyway, great music here. 240252 thank you for sharing.

[fortna4]

Moc dobře, že se tento klip objevil. Vynikající.

[ghiacciomenta]

men are wolves, still now

[brachieboo]

DAM RIGHT & THE KENNEDYS WITH THEM

[A503B201]

Makes you wonder what that cock sucker Churchills motives were. We all should have allied with Germany and kicked russians god damn ass back to the boot licking age.

[A503B201]

Stalin was not white. He was a mongrel. He also murdered millions of white russians. He is nothing less than scum on the bottom of my German Jackboots

[Ducktowners]

Sorry the damn USA pulled out of missile defense. Hope nothing happens durning the next 4 years. Thats when we will stop the dismantling of America. Wait till the Republicans take back the White House and Congress........soon now, soon!

[megaswenson]

Just wait until Russia's Army is majority Muslim (soon). I don't even want to imagine the implications for the future.

[megaswenson]

Sounds enough like Danse Macabre that I can see the dancing skeletons. By 1939, actually, the Nazis could have arranged that...
