9 May Victory Day events




Belgorod. May 9

     May 7 evening and night on the 8th were printed leaflets by  the AUCPB. About half of the leaflets were handed out at work on May 8 and 9th morning. Not to everyone, but only to those whom I know well and they know me. Some people have 3-4 different pieces. Congratulated orally and handed leaflets individually.

On May 9, he printed another 115 different leaflets and went outside, having phoned his comrades first. In the morning of May 9 it was raining in Belgorod. On the way, I bought red carnations for everyone and handed them out at a meeting. The square and the eternal flame were fenced with an iron fence and police cordon. I approached them, it turned out to agree that our group would be allowed to lay flowers at the Eternal Flame for a couple of minutes.

Minsk marks the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Soviet people over Nazi invaders


In Minsk, preparations for the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Great Victory of the left-wing patriotic associations of Belarus, members of the Unity Coordinating Council, began in advance. The main thing in this preparation was the organization of the procession of the Immortal Regiment.

On January 31, 2020, the Council of the Public Association "Immortal Regiment" for the fourth time, starting in 2018, submitted documents for state registration of the public organization "Immortal Regiment" to the Main Department of Justice of the Minsk City Executive Committee, and on March 26, 2020, the Unity Constitutional Court associations submitted an application to the Minsk City Executive Committee to obtain permission to hold the procession of the “Immortal Regiment” on May 9, 2020 in the hero city of Minsk as part of government events dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the Victory over Nazi Germany.

Unfortunately, both appeals from the Minsk city executive committee were refused. The refusal to conduct the march was justified by “the goals of preventing and minimizing the spread of acute respiratory infections, including those caused by COVID-19,” but the pandemic did not become an obstacle to holding a military parade in Minsk on May 9, which is also a mass event.

Due to the prohibition by the city of Minsk of the procession of the “Immortal Regiment”, the public associations that formed the Unity Coordination Council distributed an appeal to Belarusian activists of this international movement. The appeal called "individually or in small groups, to take part in laying flowers at memorial sites, carrying portraits of defenders of the Motherland, red flags, red and guards ribbons.

At 11.00 a representative delegation of the left-wing patriotic organizations of Belarus, which formed the Coordination Council “Unity”, together with the organizing committee of the Public Association “Immortal Regiment” gathered in the center of Minsk on Victory Square and laid flowers at the Eternal Flame at the Victory Monument.

In addition, the participants laid flowers at the pedestals of hero cities. When laying flowers on a pedestal with the inscription "Volgograd", the participants of the festive action closed this inscription with the inscription "Stalingrad", made on a paper. (Despite repeated appeals of public associations that are members of the Unity Constitutional Court to the highest authorities, including the Minsk City Executive Committee, demanding that the inscription “Volgograd” be replaced with the inscription “Stalingrad” in order to restore historical justice, the question was not resolved).

At the end of the festive laying of flowers on behalf of the left-wing patriotic public associations of Belarus, which formed the Unity Coordinating Council, gathered on the square of activists of associations on the 75th anniversary of the Victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War, congratulated the Secretary of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks, the chairman of the VET Fatherland VB Zelikov.



After that, a group of participants of the Immortal Regiment movement held a festive patriotic rally, driving cars with Soviet flags, including a copy of the Victory Banner, and portraits of relatives who fought against fascism in Minsk along Pritytsky, Zhukov, Mayakovsky streets, along Dzerzhinsky Avenue, Partizansky, Independence, having completed the route on Victory Square.

On May 9, taking into account the current situation, in accordance with the above appeal, many supporters of the Immortal Regiment held a patriotic campaign at the place of residence, hanging portraits of relatives - defenders of the Soviet Motherland, on the balconies and windows of their houses, attaching a guard tape to them - one of the symbols Victory, as well as displaying red flags are the main symbols of Victory.



On May 9, a military parade was held in Minsk. The 2020 parade was held in full format, but attracted far fewer spectators than usual. The stands were filled, but only a few thousand people stood along parapets in the surrounding streets. At the parade, Belarusian President A.G. Lukashenko and, as in previous years, did not say a word about the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Soviet Union, Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, under whose leadership the Red Army defeated the fascist troops.

Of course, the authorities showed double standards: on the one hand, they banned the procession of the Immortal Regiment, taking care of the spread of acute respiratory infections, i.e. the health of their citizens, on the other hand, having decided to hold a parade, also a mass event, - clearly neglected the health of citizens, by violating the sanitary requirements of observing the distance of people and isolating them from each other, most of which were without masks. In power, care for the health of citizens should be a top priority, and the risk to the health of citizens during the Minsk parade was absolutely inappropriate and can not be compared with the risk during the last referenced war.

The whole world knows that the Victory in the Great Patriotic War was won thanks to the unity of the Soviet peoples. If the enemies of the Soviet Union managed to destroy it in 1941, and not in 1991, there would have been no Victory.

The position of the Belarusian leadership on the issue of the military parade on May 9, 2020 in Minsk leads to a split not only in Belarusian society, but also in relations between Belarus and Russia and by no means leads to their unity. The agreement on the creation of the Union State of Belarus and Russia was signed more than 20 years ago, but so far it has not really been implemented. And this is the biggest drawback in the work of the leadership of both states.

As you know, Comrade Stalin, addressing the Soviet people on May 9, 1945 regarding the surrender of Nazi Germany, said: “Three years ago Hitler publicly declared that his tasks included the dismemberment of the Soviet Union and the separation of the Caucasus, Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic States and other areas ... But Hitler’s extravagant ideas were not destined to come true - the course of the war scattered them to dust. " After the destruction of the Soviet Motherland, the CIS was created by its traitors, which is popularly called "Hitler's hopes come true." So there is nothing to rejoice about. The best memory of the fighters against fascism, for the freedom and independence of a single Soviet homeland would be a revived Soviet Union.

And in the current situation, instead of joy in the soul, there is only a bitter precipitate: the present generation has not saved the conquest of our fathers and grandfathers.

We see that the current bourgeois leaders are not able to create even a bourgeois union, which is the Union State of Belarus and Russia.

The re-establishment of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is the task of the workers, peasants and labor intelligentsia. We, the Bolsheviks, believe that it will definitely be restored, the path of its creation was indicated to us by V.I. Lenin and I.V. Stalin.

V.B. Zelikov,
