Family of Comrade Nina Alexandrovna Andreeva

and the Central Committee of the the AUCPB

Dear comrades!

As the Founding Chair of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Philippines and on behalf of all Filipino proletarian revolutionaries, I would like to express my deepest respect to Nina Aleksandrovna Andreeva, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of the Bolsheviks (AUCPB), who passed away on July 24 this year. At the same time, we express our deep condolences to her family and the Central Committee and to all her comrades in the All-Union Communist Party of the Bolsheviks.

My Filipino comrades and I personally had the good fortune to meet Comrade Nina, listen to her and talk to her several times during the annual Brussels Communist Seminar, starting in the 1990s after the collapse of the Soviet Union, which was the result of the betrayal of socialism by modern revisionists - from Khrushchev to Gorbachev ... We have learned a lot from Comrade Nina, and we were inspired by the determination of her and her party to restore the proletarian revolutionary legacy of the great Bolsheviks, Lenin and Stalin, and to rebuild the Soviet Union.

We highly value her as a devoted patriot of her Soviet Motherland, a staunch Bolshevik and Marxist-Leninist, an outstanding communist fighter against opportunism and revisionism, and an uncompromising opponent of imperialism and all reactions. From the time she stood up to defend Marxism-Leninism and socialism against the Gorbachev regime, she became respected as a brilliant leader of the Soviet proletariat and people, as well as the international communist and workers' movement.

We know that from the moment she joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1966, she championed the revolutionary principles of the Bolsheviks. She came from a working class family and her father died as a Soviet hero in the fight against the Nazis in 1941. She was loyal to the working class and socialism, and possessed the wisdom and courage to fight Gorbachev's perestroika when revisionist traitors attacked the very foundations of socialism. The content of her famous letter "I Can't compromise my principles", which was published in the newspaper "Soviet Russia" on March 13, 1988, found a response throughout the Soviet Union and around the world.

Since then, she has become a unifying figure for the Bolsheviks in the Soviet Union. Thus, on May 18-20, 1989, under the leadership of Comrade Nina Andreeva, the All-Union Public Organization "Unity for Leninism and Communist Ideals" was founded. At the third conference of the All-Union Society, she demanded that Gorbachev and his clique be expelled from the CPSU, but, of course, this was unsuccessful, because the Gorbachevites firmly held the revisionist party in their hands. Therefore, it was inevitable that the Founding Congress of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks (VKPB) was held in Leningrad on November 8, 1991.

The main goal of the AUCPB was the revival of Bolshevism, the proletarian revolutionary and socialist heritage of Lenin and Stalin. This is the legacy of victory over tsarism and bourgeois opportunists, the implementation of the socialist revolution and socialist construction, the fight against the fascists and making great sacrifices to defeat them, confronting US imperialism after World War II and supporting further socialist revolutions, new independent countries and national liberation movements.

Since 1991, when the AUCPB was founded to revive Bolshevism, Comrade Nina has written and published several works to illuminate the path of proletarian revolution and socialism in the former Soviet Union. In the Union and in the world, especially in the last 30 years, when the revisionist betrayal of socialism in the Soviet Union and China and the neoliberal offensive, provoked by the actions of the United States, inflicted heavy damage on the communist and workers' movements, as well as the newly independent countries and the national liberation movement.

But now the situation is turning against US imperialism and the world capitalist system - beginning with the financial collapse of 2008 and the subsequent so-called Great Recession. As the only superpower after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States accelerated its strategic decline by outsourcing consumer goods manufacturing to China, over-emphasizing the military-industrial complex, ramping up military production and overspending on more than 800 overseas military bases and endless wars in Asia and The Middle East. The restoration of capitalism in China, Russia and Eastern Europe exacerbated the crisis of the world capitalist system.

Inter-imperialist contradictions have emerged and intensified because of this rapidly escalating crisis. Since 2018, the US Trump regime has been rocking and destroying the core neoliberal partnership - between the United States and China, which continues.


It was about four decades after Deng Xiaoping's counter-revolution. Now the US is outraged by the growth of China's economic and military potential and considers it to be its main economic rival and main political rival, despite China's claims that it should maintain cooperation on a mutually beneficial basis.

The imperialist powers were unable to resolve the crisis, which was called the Great Recession. Even before it was resolved, the world was hit by a new level of crisis, even deeper, thanks to what some US economic experts called the Great Self-Isolation, which marked its aggravation as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The rapidly escalating crisis of the world capitalist system and the growing inter-imperialist contradictions inflict heavy suffering on the proletariat and people and create the danger of war. But these same conditions demand that the communist and workers' parties themselves bolshevize, intensify the struggle of the masses and prepare for a revolutionary war.

It is important to adhere to Bolshevism, adhere to the legacy of Lenin and Stalin and apply their teachings in modern conditions. While the imperialist powers still avoid direct war with each other for fear of mutual destruction with nuclear weapons, the proletariat and people in the imperialist countries may seek to undermine and weaken the military potential of the monopoly bourgeoisie and prepare for a revolutionary war against the rise of fascism and, of course, the less developed countries, already subjected to the imperialist wars of imperialism, have no choice but to confront them with revolutionary wars.

Since last year, anti-imperialist and democratic mass struggles have been taking place on a large scale in many countries of various types. These are manifestations of popular resistance to the escalation of the conditions of exploitation under the neoliberal political regime and under increasingly repressive regimes. They signal the transition to the revival of the world proletarian revolution. How boldly Comrade Nina Andreeva and the revolutionaries of the proletarian era, there is no bright and better future, except for socialism, since the crisis of the world capitalist system is sharpening again and inter-imperialist contradictions are intensifying.

We are aware of the growing outrage and resistance of the proletariat and people of the former Soviet Union against the monopoly bourgeoisie and their desire for much better economic, social, political and cultural conditions - such as were achieved under the Bolshevik leadership of Lenin and Stalin. Stalin's popularity is growing despite the lies, falsifications and malicious distortions of Soviet history by the revisionists and the monopoly bourgeoisie. We are glad that the AUCPB is gaining strength and moving towards its goal - a new socialist revolution.

We thank Comrade Nina for raising high the red banner of Lenin and Stalin. Like them, she will never die, but she will continue to live, inspiring the ever-growing ranks of the Bolsheviks and revolutionary masses, who imitate her example, learn from her works and deeds and enter the revolutionary struggle. We dare to predict that the new socialist revolution in its Soviet homeland, the USSR, will become an important part of the revival of the world proletarian revolution.

Long live the bright memory of Comrade Nina Alexandrovna Andreeva!

Long live Leninism and Stalinism and all the Bolsheviks!

Long live the AUCPB and the Soviet people!
