The Lessons of History Banquet Address delivered during the AF ABN Congress, May 18 & 19, 1985 in New York Ladies and Gentlemen! Forty years ago the roar of guns finally ceased on the European fronts. The end of World War II brought about a shattering defeat of Nazi Germany and the victory of an unnatural coalition between Western democracies and the totalitarian Soviet Russian Bolshevik regime. Western Europe would once again enjoy peace, freedom and justice. Yet at the same time, on Eastern and Central Europe there descended the dismal shadow of the Iron Curtain which to this day continues to separate the free from the enslaved. Instead of liberty, the nations in the USSR and the satellite states were burdened with new chains; instead of justice and the right to assert their national identity, they faced continuous national enslavements and violations of human rights; instead of peace, they face an escalating arms race and the threat of a nuclear holocaust. National liberation struggles are being fought continuously. The intimidating and agitating uprisings and strikes of Ukrainian and other national prisoners throughout the 1950’s, the 1953 Berlin workers’ uprising, the Poznan rising in Poland, the Hungarian revolution in 1956, the Prague Spring of 1968, the Ukrainian renaissance in the 1960’s and 1970’s, the liberation war of the Afghan people against brutal Russian aggression and the recent developments in Poland demonstrate the fact that these subjugated nations yearn to break away from Moscow’s colonial bondage. Yet the barbarous and cruel methods used to crush these individual uprisings also indicate that the Soviet Russian empire can be toppled only through the united efforts of a common front of subjugated nations. This liberation strategy based on the concept of a common front of the Free World and the subjugated nations against both totalitarianisms — the Nazi German and Bolshevik Russian — was proposed as early as 1943 at a conference of subjugated nations in the forests of Zhytomyr, Ukraine. In June 1941, Ukraine and Lithuania proclaimed the renewal of their independence. In Ukraine, an armed struggle was led by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army and the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (UPA-OUN), aimed at both the German Nazi and Russian Bolshevik occupiers. The Lithuanian armed struggle was spearheaded by the Lithuanian Liberation Army. Latvians, Es tonians, Byelorussians and other peoples organized similar resistance move ments. The heroic freedom fighters of these and other East European nations constituted significantly to the decisive defeat of Nazi Germany. According to Russian sources, only seventeen per cent of the territory of the RSFSR (which also includes non-Russian ethnic territories) was occupied by the Germans. At the same time Ukraine, Byelorussia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland were completely occupied by Hitler’s armies. A large part of World War II was fought on Ukrainian territory for the possession of the country and its vast material riches. Ukraine suffered more 9 human losses than any other European country, including Germany. There were 7 million casualties amounting to 16.7 per cent of the entire po pulation. Of these 7 million, 2.5 million were military casualties and 4.5 million civilian casualties. Thus, Ukraine suffered the greatest number of losses out of all the nations in the Soviet Union. Poland lost 5 million people, while Byelo russia’s war time losses amounted to about 33 per cent of its population. By contrast, during the war, the RSFSR endured approximately 5-6 million civilian and military casualties. Thus, the 20 million losses so often attributed to the “Russian nation” include the total losses of all the nations in the So viet Union. The Germans instituted a mass destruction of the civilian population and prisoners of war in Ukraine. The world is well aware of the fate of Lidice (Bohemian village) and the French village of Oradour-sur-Glane, but the world does not know that Ukraine suffered c-a 250 Lidices and Oradours. Today, as we commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany, the freedom fighters who defended their homelands against both tyrannical regimes are paradoxically branded as Nazi collaborators, anti- Semites and persecutors. What their accusers do not understand is that a mas sive KGB-devised disinformation campaign is the source of these defamatory, malicious accusations. The accusers and prosecutors are ready to repeat these fabrications, yet they forget that it was Stalin himself and the entire Bolshevik leadership with the Communist Party (CPSU) who collaborated with the Nazis by signing the non-aggression pact in 1939. With their co-operation Hitler unleashed the Second World War and all its horrors. The accusers also forget about Katyn, Vinnytsia, Lviv and countless other places where the Russian communists murdered tens of thousands of prisoners; they forget about the tens of millions who died in the Gulags; they forget about the mass deportations, and they forget about the artificial famine in Ukraine in 1932/33, organized by Stalin and the Russian imperialists in which 7 million people died. Nor are these events of an apparent interest to the Western media. Instead, they are willing to unhesitatingly accept the falsified evidence supplied by the perpetrators of these horrors behind the Iron Curtain as an accurate presentation of the events of the Second World War. Nazi Germany and Nazism are dead and buried and will never rise again. Russian Bolshevism, on the other hand, is very much alive and poses a con tinuing threat to the Free World. Yet, country after country falls its prey with no interference or concern on the part of the Free World and with practically no recognition in the Western media. It is absurd and foolish to focus their attention only on the extinct and obsolete principles of Nazism. They should also concentrate their efforts towards rousing world public opinion on the dangers that presently confront the Free World, and they should rise in defense of the liberty of the nations presently enslaved or threatened by Moscow. It is indeed puzzling and disconcerting that the Free World is so unwilling to stand in defense of the national and human rights of the persecuted Afghans, Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Bulgarians, Byelorus sians, Croatians, Cubans, Czechs, Estonians, Georgians, Hungarians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Nicaraguans, Poles, Rumanians, Slovaks, Turkestanis, Ukrain 10 ians, Vietnamese and those of other nations within the USSR and its satellite states throughout the world. The lessons of history and the benefits of hindsight show that although the Allies were militarily victorious in May 1945, the political fruits of the triumphant victory over Nazism were unilaterally reaped by Moscow. Teheran, Yalta and Potsdam divided the world in two. Furthermore, the West’s failure to counter the countless acts of Russian aggression since World War II demon strates the West’s implicit acquiescence in the perilous events that have since led to immeasurable human suffering. On the occasion of this fortieth anni versary we are also sadly reminded of the misguided post-war policy of the Allies which led to the tragic forced repatriation of hundreds of thousands of refugees and prisoners who were deported to the USSR to face hard labour and almost certain death in Stalin camps. The present dangerous situation that confronts the Free World could have been avoided had the Western democracies listened to the voices of the libera tion movements of our nations during World War II. We proposed a simul taneous two-front war against German National Socialism and Russian Bol shevism. At the Conference of subjugated nations in 1943 in the forests of Ukraine representatives of thirteen enslaved nations called upon Western na tions to support them in a joint anti-imperialist and anti-totalitarian front. Unfortunately, their appeal fell on unreceptive ears. Even without Western support, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army and the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists were nevertheless able to wage an heroic fight against Moscow for 10 long years. For more than four decades now the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations (ABN) has been advocating a joint front of the freedom-loving nations of the West Collaborators, provocateurs and genociders of World War II. Far left: Ribbentrop; centre: Stalin; far right: Molotov. 11 with the liberation movements of the enslaved nations of Eastern Europe and Russian-dominated Asia against Russian Communist imperialism and Bol shevism. A Third World War is being waged at this very moment. While its tactics change continuously, Moscow’s strategy remains the same: it seeks to divide the free world, to juxtapose the underdeveloped Third World from the developed democracies of the West, to break up NATO by sowing discord among the Allies, to corrupt Western morality and undermine its will to re sistance, to subvert public opinion by every possible means of disinformation and propaganda, and to destroy the liberation organizations of the captive nations by discrediting leaders of the emigre groups and to silence them by a campaign of lies, fabricated accusations and intimidation. We raise our voices in warning the leaders and people of the Free World against falling into this trap. In the name of God, in the name of the highest ideals of truth, freedom and justice, we demand that in its own interests of survival and as the only realistic alternative to nuclear war, the West support ihe coordinated national liberation movements of the nations enslaved within the Soviet Russian Empire and in the countries dominated by its puppet regimes. We demand: — unequivocal recognition of the rights of all the Captive Nations to full national independence within their own ethnic territories; — full moral and material support for the liberation struggle of the under ground movements behind the Iron Curtain; — encouragement and support of government and privately sponsored information and publicity campaigns employing all available media resources to enlighten the public of the Free World on the situation of the enslaved nations and Moscow’s expansionist policies; — international recognition of the central liberation organizations of the enslaved peoples as the only genuine spokesmen of their nations, providing every opportunity for them to voice the aspirations of their nations at repre sentative international forums; — we demand that Western governments, the United Nations and other international organizations condemn Russian imperialism, communism and totalitarianism, and Moscow’s Russification policies as genocidal and colo nialist; that they similarly condemn Moscow’s persecution of religion; — we demand the liquidation of the concentration camps, the psychiatric asylums and all instruments of oppression and terror; — we demand that Western governments exert pressure on Moscow by all possible means to withdraw its troops from all the subjugated countries; — we demand the adoption by Western countries of the U.N. Resolution on Decolonization to the USSR, as the last remaining colonial empire; and — we demand the dissolution of the Russian empire into national, inde pendent, democratic states of all the subjugated nations. These are the lawful, unwavering demands of our proud nations. As there can be no compromise with evil, the Empire of the Great Lie must fall! And we will do everything in our power to hasten its demise; its ignominious downfall. 12 Sviatoslav K aravansky The ABN and Political-Psychological Warfare (Speech delivered at the A F A BN Congress, May 18 & 19, 1985 in N ew Y o rk ) There is a theory of a Western professor, James Burnham, that World War III started in 1945. “At this time the Soviets started a unilateral war against the rest of the world. This war is fought by proxy, by political and psycho logical war, by terrorism and subversion and by other covert techniques.”1 The main means of this warfare was disinformation when evil was pictured as good, and good as evil. The Soviet Political World War III has its own strategy: to weaken and destabilize their potential future opponents today. This main strategy has a lot of smaller directions. The psychological warfare is fought in diplomatic circles, in Western parliamentary institutions, in mass media, in the circles of anti communists, in religious movements, among all political, religious and national groups in the West. One of the goals of this warfare is the stirring up of hatred among different groups and in the first place the stirring up of national hatred. It is known, for instance, that certain national prejudices are living among some leaders and members of Jewish organizations in the West. One such prejudice is related to East-Europeans who allegedly were Nazi collaborators. These East-Europeans and, in particular, the Ukrainians, are described by some Jewish sources as the most anti-Semitic peoples. Here is the point where the Moscow communistic mafia can derive benefit. Their goal is to reinforce this prejudice, to develop it to the level of national intolerance. How do they achieve this? Soviet laws do not allow anybody in the USSR to express their anti- Semitic views or perform anti-Semitic actions. But the Soviet propaganda invented a substitution for anti-Semitism — anti-Zionism. Soviet citizens are allowed to condemn Zionism, as well as any other nationalism and racism with the exception of the Soviet-Russian one. Therefore, in the USSR, publish ing anti-Zionist books and accomplishing anti-Zionist scientific research are allowed. And where, do you think, such research and such publications take place? Nowhere else but in Kyiv, in the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. Everyone who lived in the USSR as a rank and file man, knows that not one academic institution in the USSR can elaborate its own objectives of study. All the scientific activity in the USSR is planned and centralized, just as any other activity. And the center which supervises these centralized activities is the Politburo of the CPSU (Communist Party of the USSR). This very center plans and establishes everything that is happening in any place The Russian empire must be destroyed! Freedom and justice will prevail. Victory will be ours. May the day of liberation come soon for Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Byelorussia, East Germany, Hungary, Slovakia, Czechia, Ukraine, Rumania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cuba, Slovenia, Albania, North Cau casus, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Turkestan, Idel-Ural and other sub jugated nations. May the armed struggles of Afghanistan, Nicaragua, Vietnam, Cambodia and Angola be triumphantly victorious! 13 of the Soviet Union. So, it is the Politburo of the CPSU in Moscow which decides that the anti-Zionist research should be done nowhere else but in the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. It is the Politburo of the CPSU in Moscow which decides that the anti-Zionist publications should be published nowhere else but in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. Do they gain some benefits from their perfidious decisions? Yes, they do. Some Jewish public figures conclude that the activity of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences is the result of the incurable anti-Semitism of Ukrainians. Says Simon Wiesenthal: “Anti-Semitism in the Ukraine is stronger than anywhere else in the Soviet Union. Even the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences has published a number of anti-Semitic books.” This is what the Moscow psychological warfare has been expecting. Another example: Two Frenchmen visited the USSR. They came to meet some Jewish refusniks in Moscow. No reaction from the side of the KGB. After that, they went to Kyiv and tried to do the same there. However, in Kyiv they were arrested, searched, interrogated and held under arrest for three days. The conclusion they drew was: Jewish people in Ukraine are most depressed. But can it really be true that the KGB in Kyiv acted independently from the KGB in Moscow? Before any measure toward any foreigner was taken, Kyiv KGB-officers referred to Moscow. And the order came from Moscow to arrest the Frenchmen in Kyiv. These examples show the cunning techniques of the psychological warfare, and the results it achieves. The whole country, the whole administrative and Party staff is involved in this warfare. It is indeed, hard to recognize the political warfare in some actions of the Soviet authorities, since even the participants of these actions are not aware of the meaning and the goal of their doings. They only carry out orders from above. The Nazi hunting in the free world, initiated by the KGB, has the same goal: to split the Western freedom forces and stir up national hatred among them. It is true that the Soviets have some information about war criminals. But it is also true that in addition to the true information they will add a lot of false and slanderous evidence in order to discredit the emigrants from East Europe. And this was proven at some trials of war criminals in America. It was revealed in the course of these trials that Soviets: 1. Falsified documents, 2. Used perjurious witnesses, 3. Limited the right of defendants for cross-examinations, 4. Authorized doubtful documents. Unfortunately, the Soviets have succeeded in their psychological initiative. Some American lawyers of Jewish origin, especially the officers of the OSI (U.S. Justice Department’s Office of Special Investigations), blindly believe in Soviet evidence. This is strange enough, because the OSI itself possesses evidence of Soviet falsifications. It is pertinent to mention here the case of Hryhoriy Cebriy (17-31 Grove St., Ridge Wood, N. Y. 11385, USA; tel: 212-456-0823). Mr. Cebriy was accused by the Soviets of killing Jews. The KGB provided videotaped deposi tions of witnesses who affirmed that they had seen Mr. Cebriy shooting Jews. 14 But Mr. Cebriy placed persuasive evidence at the OSI’s disposal that at that very time, when Soviet witnesses had seen him shooting Jews, he was in a German concentration camp. The OSI was compelled to stop the case. This case and a lot of other closed cases might have opened the eyes of OSI of ficers on the nature of Soviet evidence. But nevertheless, the OSI continues to use Soviet evidence without any due verification. On the other hand, in the case against Frank Walus from Chicago, 11 witnesses from Israel stated that Mr. Walus was a SS-hangman 40 years ago. As it turned out their evidence was false because Mr. Walus, as a fully in nocent man, was acquitted. So, the OSI has evidence that it is impossible to believe witnesses after 35-40 years. But nevertheless, OSI investigators con tinue to use and approve such witnesses. The main reason for the OSI violation of the due process is the lack of impartiality in the majority of OSI officers because of their ethnic origin. The participation of impartial persons in justice procedure is the direct viola tion of due process. Beside this, some intolerant public figures used the OSI trials for the stir ring up of national hatred. Here is what Israel Singer, executive director of the World Jewish Congress says: “Hitler’s annihilation of 6 million Jews was carried out not by the Germans alone, but rather with the extensive collabora tion of Lithuanians, Latvians, Ukrainians, Estonians and other Europeans.”3 First, why did the stateless nationalities that were forcefully occupied and cruelly deprived of their national independence by the Soviet Union come to the list of the main collaborators? Can it really be true that Lithuanians, Lat vians, Ukrainians and Estonians were responsible for 6 million victims of Session of the AF ABN Congress, May 18, 1985, New York Download Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
