The first was a youth panel entitled: “The Aspirations of the Young Generation on Both Sides of the Iron Curtain”. Mr. Roman Scuplak of Great Britain moderated the panel with great ability and insight. Eleven young panelists took part. They spoke on the following topics: “Between two currents — being Ukrainian in America” by Irena Chalupa, “Is Vietnamese youth already indoctrinated in communism?” by Major Tran-Chau, “The young generation in Vietnam today” by Lt. Ha- Diep, “Religious renaissance among the young generation behind the Iron Curtain” by Larysa Figol, “The crime of being Ukrainian in Ukraine” by Iryna Kapustynskyj, “Croatian youth” by Anthony Kokic, “Latvian youth in Latvia” by Imants Liegis, “The aspirations of the young generation in Great Britain” by Paul Masson, “Young freedom fighters in Afghanistan” by Tariq Noor, “The millenium of Christianization — a crucial event in the liberation process” by Stephen Oleskiw and “Bankruptcy of communism in Poland” by Marek Ruszczynski. The second panel was entitled “Western defence and the liberation struggle of the subjugated nations”. The Hon. Stefan Terlezky, M.P. of Great Britain moderated this panel. Five panelists presented insightful speeches on this topic. They were as follows: “Europe and the threat of communism” by the Hon. Guillermo Kirkpatrick, M.P. of Spain, “The value of nationalities and Russia’s future position in Europe” by Prof. Leo Magnino of Italy”, “Views on EFC/ 2 ABN support for freedom fighters worldwide” by Mr. Bertil Haggman of Sweden, “The tragic consequences of Yalta and the Helsinki Accords in view of their ten years of existence” by Mrs. Slava Stetsko and "The 40th anniversary of the end of World War II and its consequences” by Dr. Andrija Ilic. “Low Frontier — a precondition to final victory” was the theme of the third panel. Mr. Evdokim Evdokimoff (Bulgaria) moderated the panel. The following persons presented speeches on this topic: Mr. Habib Mayar (Afghani stan), Mr. Sergei Soldatov (Estonia), Mr. E. Rigoni (Hungary), Mrs. Ruta Parris (Latvia), Dr. B. Hayit (Turkestan), Mr. M. Scuplak (Ukraine), Mr. A. Soro- kowsky (USA), and Mr. Truong Quang Si (Vietnam). The panels, reports and addresses presented generated a great deal of questions and discussion. The EFC issued a statement condemning Soviet Russian imperialism, the denial of national and hutnan rights and the persecution of religious freedom by Soviet Russia. The ABN issued Conference resolutions appealing to the Free World to support the liberation struggles of the subjugated nations politically, financially and militarily, thereby allowing them to reestablish national states and democracies in their respective countries. The ABN resolutions recommend this strategy as the only viable means of saving mankind from thermo-nuclear destruction. In their mandates, the EFC and ABN will pursue combatting communism and its imperialist attacks on innocent victims and nations. The unanimous Conference session: ""Weaknesses of the Russian Empire” by Mr. Arie Vudka (lower podium far right). Read by 1. Chalupa. 3 reelection of Mr. John Wilkinson, M.P. as President of the European Freedom Council and the Hon. Yaroslav Stetsko as President of the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations was greatly applauded. It is certain that under their leadership both organisations shall endeavour to combat communist tyrannies of this world with all their might. The Conference culminated in a demonstration held outside the Soviet Rus sian embassy on Sunday, November 24, 1985. Over 1200 people participated in the demonstration, carrying placards and national flags. Many nations of the ABN were represented, among them Ukrainians who came by busloads from outside the London area, Afghans, Vietnamese, Croatians, Georgians, Bul garians, Poles, Rumanians, Byelorussians, Slovaks and others. Mrs. Slava Stetsko presented a greeting to the demonstration from the EFC/ABN Conference. The following persons spoke at the demonstration representing various subjugated nations: Mr. Habib Mayar — Afghanistan, Mrs. Roxolana Potter — Ukraine and AF ABN, Mr. Truong Quang Si — Vietnam, Mr. Richard Jonach — Poland, Mr. I. Bankowski — Bulgaria, Mr. M. Hryniuk — Ukraine, Mr. Abdullah Kwaja — Turkestan and Dr. A. Ramishvili — Georgia. The demonstration ended with the singing of patriotic national songs. On Sunday evening, November 24, a banquet was held at the Hilton Inter national Kensington Hotel. The master of ceremonies was the Hon. Stefan Terlezky, M.P. There were two addresses at the banquet: “Technology and Liberation Policy” by the Hon. Yaroslav Stetsko, former Prime Minister of Ukraine and ABN President and “European Response to the Challenge of the Strategic Defence Initiative” by the Hon. John Wilkinson, M.P., President of the EFC. Mr. Wilkinson presented Mr. Yaroslav Stetsko and Mrs. Slava Stetsko with Westminster medals for their dedicated work for the EFC. Mr. Stetsko, in turn, presented Mr. Wilkinson with an Award of Merit and a statuette of the late Patriarch Josyf Slipyj, for all his help and cooperation with the ABN. Cultural entertainment was provided by national groups. Mrs. Slava Stetsko read greetings from many national organisations, United States senators and congressmen, foreign dignitaries as well as an apostolic blessing and greeting from Cardinal Myroslav Lubachivsky, the Patriarch of the Ukrainian Catholic Church.

The issue at hand is primarily military. The importance of this issue is a consequence of the gains of Russian imperialism under the guise of communism, whose primary goal is world do mination. Only the collapse of the Soviet Russian empire will decidedly eliminate the threat of a nuclear holocaust. To achieve this end, attention must be drawn to the Achilles’ heel of the Soviet Russian empire and its system: the subjugated nations. Without the inclusion of the issue of the subjugated nations into the creation of new realities in the world, all agreements and pacts of exclusively military nature will not eliminate the crisis. The crux of the matter lies not in a change of guard in the Kremlin which will never disavow its imperialism and aggressiveness, but in the striving for freedom and national independence of the subjugated nations. In the final analysis they are the key to the resolu tion of the world crisis, and in this context they must be viewed as a political superpower. Naturally, the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations (ABN) is against nuclear war and proposes its own alternative for the elimination of the root cause of the present world crisis. The cause of the crisis is the existence of the “evil empire” a name given to Soviet Russia and its colonial possessions by the President of the U.S., Ronald Reagan. The ABN supports zero option and stands for the elimination of all nuclear weapons. The ABN also supports the Strategic De fence Initiative (SDI) as the most humane proposal to date — one which destroys weapons not people. This is a revolutionary idea because from the dawn of man weapons were directed against people, whereas now a plan has been advanced to destroy weapons and not people. Only those who harbour ill will could be opposed to the deployment of such a strategic defence system. Even in the event of difficulty in implementing such a systeim based on the SDI, the idea itself is worthy of support for the sake of humanity and plain political decency and wisdom. No temporary solutions will solve the crisis if lasting solutions are not phased in on a parallel basis. The subject of this conference is precisely to establish a basis for that lasting solution which, in our view, is rooted in the invincible human quest for freedom and independence inherent in every man and nation on earth. The key is to find a way to release the explosive power of revolution among the subjugated nations which, in turn, would bring down the Soviet Russian empire — that prison of nations par excellence. This should be the subject for consideration and study not only at our forum, but for the entire Free World. Many erroneous formulae, theses, asser tions and comparisons must be corrected, because the enemy’s disinformation, his “new-speak”, has already infiltrated the ability of free man to perceive and speak the truth. For example, there is no struggle between the two super powers. There is, however, a struggle between the world of freedom and that of tyranny as represented by the captive nations. Forces of tyranny are also to be Yaroslav Stetsko 5 found in the realm of freedom. These are the fifth columns including the various communist parties — the supporters and defenders of the “empire of evil” and its destructive ideas and philosophy of life. The maximum stockpiling of armaments and war-making technologies is not the only factor which defines a superpower. To place on the same ethical and political level both the USA and the USSR is to fall into the trap of the enemy’s “new-speak”. Both super powers have been equally blamed for causing the current global crisis and for the threat of a nuclear holocaust. The creation of such a perception in the West has been a great achievement of the Soviet Russian strategy of psychological warfare. The Russians have laboured long and hard to create an image of the United States as an aggressive, imperialistic and exploiting superpower. It is both deceitful and unfair to place a man such as Ronald Reagan in the same political amd ethical category with Mikhail Gorbachev. The American President is a Christian, a humanist, a practicing believer in freedom and democracy and whose nation has never held any aspirations of world domination. Gor bachev, on the other hand, is a godless tyrant. A nation-killer (witness Afghani stan), a political criminal whose Soviet Russian empire oppresses scores of na tions and millions of people, and whose ultimate goal is world domination. These are facts, not euphemisms or “new speak”. The call for mutual “conces sions” creates the impression that both superpowers harbour criminal schemes to rule over the nations of the world. A compromise on the part of the United States could mean the surrender to Russia of Afghanistan, even West Germany, or some other free nation. This is why all steps in favour of concessions, com promises, retreats, and so on by the USA would be equivalent to giving up the defence of the freedom and independence of some nation not yet dominated by Soviet Russia. Moreover, to give up the defence of still free nations and those already oppressed is equivalent, in the long run, to renouncing one’s own freedom and independence. The purpose of the American military might is not the conquest of foreign lands, but to defend the free nations of the world and to give at least moral support to the liberation struggle of the captive nations. Russia, on the other hand, systematically proceeds in the direction of world conquest. Her goal is stated on the pages of the constitution of the USSR and is put into practice by lending support to communist-inspired insurgencies throughout the world designed to subdue the rest of the nations by piecemeal tactics. These are simple truths that the West chooses to ignore or forget. To place on the same footing a nation built on freedom and democracy such as the United States, with the USSR, an empire held together by tyranny and oppression, is to mislead the nations of the Third World into believing that the United States intends to dominate them, when in fact that happens to be Russia’s goal. The international outcry for the two superpowers to “com promise” shows an intentional clouding of the moral issues at stake, and a blatant distortion of facts which is the result of the opportunism of the Western mass media, some Western statesmen and even church leaders. What is the raison d’etre of this world conflict? What does Soviet Russia really seek? Moscow’s goal is to hold on to the subjugated nations and to gain control over increasingly more countries until global domination finally is complete. By now the goal should be known to all, although there is a lack 6 of effort to voice this fact loud and clear. The crux of the matter is that Mos cow’s object of conquest — the captive nations fighting to stay free — be re cognized as a power potentially capable of breaking up the imperial structure of Soviet Russia. Negotiations between Moscow and the West have yet to address the issue of the enslavement of scores of nations and hundreds of millions of people as a main cause of the current world crisis. If activated to the highest possible level, the subjugated nations’ powerhouse can tilt the scales of history in favour of world freedom. Negotiations only about the reduction of military hardware have not and will not solve any world crisis until the West includes into the process the plight of its best ally — the subjugated nations. The road to the West’s victory is to reduce to the minimum the fighting potential of the man power of the empire by winning the allegiance of the captive nations. This can be achieved through the strategy of a psychological offensive (psycho-strategy) on the part of the West designed to win over the hearts and minds of Soviet army personnel recruited from among the subjugated nations. As a result, in the pre-insurgent stages of the liberation process they will pro gressively weaken the military machine of the Soviet Union and strengthen the fabric of their own nations until a critical moment is reached when they will turn their arms against the oppressor. Recent history has many such precedents (the great national East European revolutions of 1917-1918, the liberation upheavals of the subjugated nations during and after World War II, etc.). By fostering and strengthening by means of the available communications, technologies the infrastructures of the subjugated nations and by counterposing our system and philosophy of life to the Bolshevik system, such a psycho- strategic offensive can systematically undermine the Soviet Russian system of occupation. In other words, if the West wishes to prevent a nuclear war, the focus of Western policy would have to be re-directed to support these liberation processes. Moreover, if the West would cease its economic and other types of relations with the Soviet Union, if it would stop supplying it with grain, techno logy, credits, and so on, Moscow would be forced to allow, albeit reluctantly, the revival of socio-economic institutions, such as, for example, the private ownership of land (to increase agricultural production). This, in turn, would strengthen the indigenous infrastructures of the captive nations further under mining the colonial system of Soviet Russia in very real terms. In order to understand the revolutionary process within the Soviet Russian empire, one must realize the fact that Moscow sustains its colonial possessions by the force of arms, wholesale terror in all walks of life and a centralised and militarised economic system. On the other hand, the revolutionary process in question has in its power the potential to dismantle all facets of that system and the “Soviet Russian way of life” imposed by Moscow on the subjugated nations. For example, the existence of the underground Church in the subjugated nations has not only a religious significance, but also profound lay and na tional implications. Faith in God is not only a theistic concept per se but also a form of struggle for a nation’s individuality and spirituality. Among the sub jugated nations in the Soviet Russian empire Christianity, Islam and religion in general are the main forces that fulfill this vital role. 7 Under the conditions of Soviet Russian totalitarian rule the revolutionary processes amount to an all-encompassing struggle in every walk of life of a subjugated nation. Even a greeting like “God Bless You” under Soviet Russian conditions is equivalent to a revolutionary statement or act. Private property, trade unionism, freedom of creativity based on intrinsically national traits, the veneration of national saints and heroes etc. — all are part of the protracted revolutionary process. Moreover, these revolutionary elements must be con centrated into a single political target — the dismantling of the Soviet Russian empire and its system and the re-establishing of the national democratic states of the oppressed nations. Only under such conditions it will be possible to restore fully the idiosyncratic attributes and values of each nation. The aptness for aggression of Soviet Russia is all-encompassing. It has even fully subordinated to its goals the Russian Orthodox Church and through it the Orthodox Churches of the satellite countries. Even a large part of the emigre Russian Orthodox Church has already recognized the Moscow Patriarchy. Only the underground Churches of the subjugated nations resist the government- sponsored official “Church” which obviously serves the political interests of the atheistic Soviet Russian state and its repressive communist system. Only the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church in the diaspora and some smaller Orthodox denominations in the Middle East, have remained staunchly inde pendent from Moscow. Soviet Russian imperialism follows many paths and the response to it must be equally varied. It is not a classical type of imperialism, but one which attempts to impose upon the nations it controls a totally alien philosophy and way of life. Given this fact, the liberation process in the subjugated nations cannot be viewed only in military and technical terms because we are dealing here with a revolutionary process encompassing all the spiritual, cultural, so cial, economic, political and religious dimensions of the existence of those na tions. Western psycho-strategists should take notice of this unique revolutionary phenomenon taking place behind the Iron Curtain, a phenomenon which can be fully interpreted, analysed and conveyed by those representatives of the sub jugated nations who are organically tied to their nation’s spirituality and philo sophy of life, by those who have not been affected by the scourge of so-called “progressivism” and “new-speak” created by the Soviet Russian “Big Brother” (to use Orwell’s concepts) and his system. Last but not least, Western “Soviet ology” is not exclusively qualified to understand and interpret the develop ments taking place in the Soviet Russian empire. Besides, their trade has already become noticeably influenced by Moscow’s “Ministry of Truth”. We live in an era of destructive and constructive revolutions. For example, the Islamic revolution cannot be suppressed by force, and it will penetrate into the realm of the Soviet Union. On the other hand, the destructive nature of some Islamic revolutions, for instance, Khomeini’s version of Shiitism, brings senseless strife and violence and will be overcome. The rebirth of Islam in its worthy mainstream aspects will eventually be redirected against the real enemy of all religion and the Islamic nations — Bolshevism and Soviet Russia. Afghani stan today is the case par excellence. Unfortunately, Afghanistan has not yet become the rallying cry for the Shiites and Sunnites, and its plight is still ignored Download Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
