Dean Reed - 80 years old

Russian propaganda is silent about such artists - patriots, friends of the Soviet Union, as Viktor Khara, Dean Reed, etc., because their songs are called to fight against capitalism. Their songs, their lives are a struggle for communist ideals.

On September 22, 1938, Dean Reed was born - an American singer, artist, friend of the Soviet Union. This year he would be 80 years old. Here are some stages of his life. In 1970, in Moscow, he participated in the session of the Soviet Peace Committee, dedicated to the centenary of the birth of V.I. Lenin (later this committee awarded him a medal). In August 1970, he helped Salvador Allende in his presidential campaign in Chile. In September 1970, Dean Reed in Chile, the US embassy washed from the American flag the symbolic mud and blood stained with American capitalism, including the Vietnam War. His admirer was Yasser Arafat, who invited him to Palestine and met him. Dean Reed participated in world festivals of youth and students: the 10th - in 1973 in Berlin (GDR), 11th - in 1978 in Cuba, 12th - 1985 in Moscow (USSR). In 1977, in Bulgaria, he starred in the feature film "El Santor" (singer), where he played the role of Victor Hara, his Chilean friend tortured by Pinochet's junta. In 1978, Dean Reed participated in the XVIII Congress of the Komsomol in Moscow, at which it was decided to create a Komsomol-youth railway construction project BAM. Dean Reed toured the BAM in 1979. There it should be well remembered. In the same place was filmed a documentary-musical film "I wish you happiness." In 1979, on October 29, he was awarded the Lenin Komsomol Prize for songs dedicated to anti-imperialist solidarity, peace and friendship of peoples.

Dean Reed was repeatedly arrested in the United States, Chile, Argentina, Italy for his anti-imperialist statements and songs. This did not break him, but, on the contrary, tempered him. Always on his defense rose the progressive forces of the world and he was released. In April 1986, he spoke in the American program "60 Minutes", where he criticized R. Reagan and defended the need for the Berlin Wall. For this he was then pursued. In his last years he lived in the GDR with his German wife, actress Renata Blume. June 13, 1986 in Berlin on Lake Zentener See, near his house Dean Reed was found drowned. Quite a strange death, still not really investigated. It was officially announced that this was an "accident", but the real reason for Dean Reed's death is Gorbachev's perestroika, with which the open smearing of communist idols and ideals began, not only in the USSR and the GDR, but also in other socialist countries. He was very popular in these countries, he was called "Red Elvis". He was a man - a legend of the times of the Cold War. The memory of him will remain in our hearts.

In conclusion, I would like to recall Dean Reed's statement: "No one is born a revolutionary, no one is born a Marxist. For a man who grew up in a capitalist country, the road to truth is long and thorny. The truth comes to us drop by drop, we gain knowledge, become wiser. When I came to the Soviet Union in the summer of 1975, I was a pacifist who was frightened at the words "Communist, Socialist". It was you who helped me to become a convinced Marxist, a revolutionary, a man."

In Voronezh, a monument to those killed in the Great Patriotic War was destroyed

On the territory of the Voronezh excavator plant, a memorial complex of the Great Patriotic War has been destroyed. The plant itself was killed earlier - in 2009. During the years of the war, it produced the legendary Katyushas, ​​and now neither the enterprise itself nor the memory of the dead workers are needed by the Russian government. Decommunization in Russia continues ...

Previously, the enterprise was  named after the "Comintern"; this name was given in 1922. During the Great Patriotic War, the plant successfully mastered the production of the famous Katyusha rocket launchers, and many factory workers fought against the fascists in the ranks of the Red Army. After the War, in honor of the dead workers, a brick stela with the inscription "Who gave their lives for their Motherland - we remember!" was built on the territory of the enterprise.

In 2009, the plant was finally bankrupt and liquidated. On its territory is located the so-called. "Technopark", in other words, everything was leased. Part of the shops was demolished, and the two remaining unsold excavators were destroyed. So the factory, which worked hard to win, was destroyed in modern Russia.

On September 9, 2018, a video appeared on the Internet, which shows the beginning of the "dismantling" of the memorial complex. In particular, it was evident how an unknown man was trying to remove the metal numbers "1941" from the monument. A few days later, journalists entered the territory of the former factory. On the site of the memorial complex they found only ruins - broken brick and warped armature. Who and why gave the order to destroy the monument - remains unknown until now. According to the journalists, the Kominternovsky district administration and Voronezh city administration refused to comment on the situation.

Moreover, officials said that since this is a private area, the owner is free to do anything there.

In addition to the stele of memory of the dead workers, there was a sculpture of Lenin and a monument to the first Katyusha at the plant. All this was also destroyed.

The destruction of historical memory in Russia is not as noisy as in Ukraine. There, Soviet-era monuments are overthrown with cries, armed with construction cranes and anti-communist laws. Here, the monuments are secretly and quietly torn down. But the essence of what is happening in Russia and Ukraine is the same. The victory is celebrated by the followers of Bandera and Vlasov, Petlyura and Kolchak, the irreconcilable enemies of our country and our people.

Grateful memory of the people returns Stalin to the pedestal

On August 22, an initiative group of citizens, at the initiative of the AUCPB, again applied to the mayor's office of the city of Novosibirsk with a statement on the approval of the installation of a monument to J.V. Stalin on Red Avenue near the Officers' House (in the center), or on the square. Sibiryakov-guardsmen at the stele "Bayonets", or in Efremovskom square (near the plant "Tyazhstankogidropress"). The statement and draft projects will be considered by the City Hall's art council in the second half of September.

Recall that the bust of J.V. Stalin and the granite pedestal are already prepared. More money is needed to improve the site for the installation of the monument. Over two years of the campaign, 450,000 people's rubles have already been raised.

Below we publish a statement submitted by the initiative group to the mayor's office:

STATEMENT on the coordination of the location of the monument to J.V. Stalin on the Red Avenue near the Officers' House, or on the Sq. Sibiryakov-guardsmen at the stele "Bayonets", or in Efremovsky Square (near the plant "Tyazhstankohydropress")

We, the initiative group of citizens of the city of Novosibirsk consisting of: Denisyuk AV, Metzler OV, Dushkina LS, Tataru AG, Krasavin PV, Boger Yu.L., Minibaev E.A. ., Yushkov IV, Pronchenko IV, Laptev RV, Kopylov SI, Boyko S.V.  propose to install a monument to Generalissimo Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin on Krasny Prospekt near the Officers' House, or on Sq. Sibiryakov-guardsmen at the stele "Bayonets", or in Efremovsky Square (near the plant "Tyazhstankogidropress").

Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin (Dzhugashvili) is the greatest statesman and politician, the largest commander, pupil and continuer of the cause of great Lenin, the leader of the world's first multinational state of workers and peasants - the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the leader of the working class, working people, oppressed and deprived masses of the world . J.V. Stalin became in history as the largest politician of the twentieth century, as the creator of the first socialist state in history - the forerunner of the future communist formation.

As the largest proletarian revolutionary, J.V. Stalin became one of the main organizers of the struggle of the Russian proletariat against tsarism, the landlords and the bourgeoisie, the preparation and implementation of the socialist revolution in Russia. His role in the struggle against the White Guards and interventionists during the Civil War, in the industrialization of the USSR, in the collectivization of agriculture, in the cultural revolution, in the struggle for building socialism, for the independence of the Soviet country, and for the consolidation of peace throughout the world is great.

Under the leadership of J.V. Stalin, Russia  became a great industrial, nuclear and space superpower of the world, which was respected. The victory of socialism in the USSR under the leadership of J.V. Stalin became a torch of struggle in the eyes of the oppressed of all countries of the world.

The colossal role of Stalin is indisputable. Stalin as the leader of the Soviet people in the defeat of German fascism in the Second World War and the Great Patriotic War, in the formation after their termination of a powerful world socialist and democratic camp led by the USSR.

Nobody can erase from the memory of the people that the Soviet soldiers rose and went on the attack with the words "FOR THE MOTHERLAND, FOR STALIN!"

Creation by assignment J.V. Stalin and the test in the Soviet Union in August 1949 of an atomic bomb prevented the very possibility of unleashing World War III with the use of nuclear weapons by former allies in the anti-Hitler coalition. The creation of an atomic bomb in the USSR ensured the preservation of life itself on the planet Earth and the peaceful labor of people for half a century.

The activities of J.V. Stalin at the top post of the state was highly appreciated by the Soviet people. He was awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labor (1939), Hero of the Soviet Union (1945), Marshal of the Soviet Union (1943) and Generalissimo of the Soviet Union (1945). He was awarded three Orders of Lenin, the Order of Victory, the Red Banner, Suvorov 1st Class and medals.

It was during the years of the Stalin Five-Year Plans that Novosibirsk became the largest industrial, political, scientific and cultural center in the east of the country, the third largest megapolis of the country of the Soviets after Moscow and Leningrad.

On personal orders of J.V. Stalin in Novosibirsk and throughout Siberia during the war hundreds of defense and other enterprises were deployed. Stalin personally met with the Siberian guardsmen, celebrated the heroism and courage of the Sibiryak warriors. Stalin in his telegrams notes the high merits of the Siberian rear in ensuring the victory. The 150th Rifle Siberian Volunteer Division was named after Stalin.

Stalin was in Novosibirsk in March 1917 after the February Revolution, participated in a rally at the Main Station, returning from the Turukhansk exile. January 18, 1928 J.V. Stalin spoke at the meeting of Sibkraikoma in Novosibirsk on the issue of the country's exit from the acute grain procurement crisis organized by the kulaks with the aim of strangling the Soviet power with hunger.

Many streets, parks and houses of culture of the city of Novosibirsk were named after the Leader. Lenin Street was called Stalin Avenue, the House of Culture. October Revolution was called the House of Culture after Stalin, the Central Park of Culture and Recreation after Stalin.A monument to J.V. Stalin stood in the center of the city on the Red Avenue (on the site of the present Chapel), the monuments of J.V. Stalin was standing in the Central Park of Culture and Recreation and at the Monument of Glory near the cinema "Metallurg" and in many other places.

After the death of Stalin at the direction of Khrushchev, the monuments were illegally demolished, and the name and deeds of the Leader were slandered. We demand the restoration of historical justice. The construction of Stalin on a pedestal in the center of one of the largest megalopolis of the country will put an end to the blackout of the memory of the Leader and all our glorious heroic Soviet era.

Today, Stalin's authority among the people is the highest and most popular among the last decades and among other outstanding statesmen not only in Russia.

We propose to put a monument to J.V. Stalin on November 7 to the 101st anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution or on December 21 to the 139th anniversary of the birth of Stalin.

Considering all of the above, please coordinate the location of the monument to Generalissimo  Stalin in the center of the city of Novosibirsk on the Red Avenue near the Officers' House, or on Sq. Sibiryakov-guardsmen at the stele "Bayonets", or in Efremovsky Square (near the plant "Tyazhstankogidropress").

In Bulgaria, the memory of the victims of the fascist genocide was honored in Varna

On September 9, on the day of the Socialist Revolution in Bulgaria (1944), the representatives of the United International Anti-imperialist Anti-Fascist Front, the Bulgarian Workers' Party (Communists) and the Bulgarian Slavic movement laid flowers to the Pantheon of the Communists and anti-fascists who were killed by fascists (1923-1944).

Only in World War II were 9,140 guerrillas (for the head of each fascists they paid 50,000 levs each), 10,930 of their relatives and those who concealed and supplied them were killed, 31,250 people were exiled to distant villages under the supervision of the fascist police, 2,399 houses were burnt. In total, the fascist government spent about 200 million leva to fight the Resistance, of which 63 million were given to traitors and 15 million to policemen. During this period, about 200 young children were killed. The sadism of the frenzied fascists were similar to Bandera.

 At the end of the ceremony on September 9, gifts were handed to veterans-antifascists.

9 September - the day of the formation of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea

On September 9, the people of the DPRK solemnly celebrate the 70th anniversary of the formation of their socialist state. This date is the result of the victory in the more than 50-year struggle of the people against the Japanese colonialists, the result of the choice by the Korean people themselves of their way of building a socialist state with the economy at the level of the modern development of the productive forces of mankind.

The country was created by the Great Leader, Comrade Kim Il Sung, who laid the foundations of the socialist economy and its constant development. He created and brought up a revolutionary army, which became an active builder of the state, the protection of its interests and independence. He created a revolutionary party - the core of the state of the Juche and national character, built according to ideology and beliefs developed by Kim Il Sung and developed by Kim Jong Il.

The history of 70 years of modern DPRK is the history of the 70-year-long tense struggle of the socialist state for its independence in the face of the most bitter confrontation with the aggressive US policy aimed at destroying the DPRK, with constant threats of a pre-emptive nuclear strike against the DPRK, with suffocating diversified sanctions against the socialist state .

Each of the past 70 years was a year of unprecedented enthusiasm for the Korean people and their people's army, closely rallied around their revolutionary  Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) and their leaders - the comrades Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and the continuer of their cause and policy of the First Secretary of the WPK comrade Kim Jong-un.

At the heart of the DPRK's policy is the care of the man of labor, his well-being and spiritual development. Today, the population of the DPRK, like nowhere else in the world, enjoys a free, widely available, highly qualified, high-quality health care system, organized using modern achievements of world medicine; free compulsory for all 12-year general and free higher education; free of charge for citizens in need of this, comfortable modern housing. This is especially true for young families who are forming. Housing is provided with everything necessary for a comfortable life - technology and electronics. The provision of free comfortable housing is carried out both in cities and in rural areas.

The DPRK is the only country in the world where there are no taxes. The entire tax system was abolished in the 1970s.

The country pays much attention to the development of sports, national culture, folk art. Koreans live, "not envying anyone", as they sang in their song. Overcoming difficulties in connection with the barbaric sanctions organized by the United States, the people of the DPRK love their Motherland and are ready to defend it with their own lives.

In self-defense, with the boundless effort of the country's forces, with the development of its scientists and engineers, the DPRK, with Kim Jong-il, created its nuclear weapons and launched an assault on outer space, successfully launching its artificial satellites. (August 31, 1998, the first DPRK launch vehicle "Paektusan-1" was launched, with the launch of the "Kwangmyongson-1" satellite into near-Earth orbit.) Under Kim Jong un (February 2016), an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) , capable of reaching any point in the US was launched.

Nuclear development in the DPRK is exclusively defensive in nature, it is a means of protecting the independence of its state.

The launching of the DPRK ICBM frightened the United States, which for the first time in history were reachable for deserved retribution for their banditry and bloody riots around the world, with the destruction of the leaders of the countries and their people. Previously, the US always ignored the proposals of the DPRK leaders for concluding a peace treaty between the US and the DPRK after the Fatherland Liberation War 1950-1953, which ended only with a truce, but now US President Trump himself offered talks to the leader of the DPRK, Comrade Kim Jong-un. These negotiations took place in Singapore on June 10-12, 2018. At this meeting, a joint agreement between the United States and the DPRK was adopted without a clear fixation of commitments from the US.

At the ASEAN summit on August 6, the chairman of the meeting of ASEAN regional forum ministers prematurely declared even the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula as already about the fact that has been realized.

Our Party earlier in the Central Committee's statement of June 15 this year,  expressed its fears about the sudden "peacefulness" of the United States. The White House messages in the very beginning of August, addressed to the leadership of the DPRK, confirmed the validity of our distrust of the American side. In the 10th of August, the White House clarified the uncertainty of the joint document signed by Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump. The US proposed in its messages to Pyongyang unconditionally to make unilateral disarmament of the DPRK. Specifically, the US State Department offered Pyongyang "to transfer 75% of its nuclear arsenal to the US or a third party" and no lifting of sanctions against the DPRK.

Naturally, Pyongyang rejected all these proposals of the US State Department, calling them "gangster in nature." The DPRK rightly believes that disarmament, or denuclearization, should begin with the lifting of anti-Korean sanctions and the signing of a peace treaty between the United States and the DPRK.

The AUCPB in its Statement of the Secretariat of the Central Committee on August 14 declared support for the permanent demands of Kim Jong-un.

On the glorious anniversary of the establishment of the DPRK, congratulating the people and their leader, Comrade Kim Jong-un, on a landmark date, the AUCPB wishes the Socialist state success in pursuing its uncompromising political course and in strengthening the DPRK's defensive strength for the prosperity of the Korean nation.

We wish our Korean friends the successful construction of a prosperous socialist state in spite of the sinister plans of world imperialism to destroy the DPRK.

Long live the 70th anniversary of the founding of the DPRK!

Long live the courageous people, who do not bend under American pressure!

In memory of Alexander Vladimirovich Zakharchenko

In Donetsk, on August 31, 2018, the head of the Donetsk People's Republic Zakharchenko Alexander Vladimirovich was assassinated by the agents of the pro-fascist Kiev regime. This vile murder pained in the hearts of all honest people and caused an outburst of indignation. Hundreds of thousands of residents of the Donetsk Peoples Republic, as well as citizens of the Russian Federation, Georgia and other regions came to lead the protagonist of the Donbas resistance in Donetsk.

Zakharchenko was a worthy leader, who headed the DPR in the most difficult days of the struggle to repel the armed aggression of the Kiev regime against the unruly Donbass. He was an active fighter for the unity of the former Soviet republics, primarily Russia and Ukraine, a courageous patriot of Donbass and Novorossia. Under his leadership, the people's militia of the Dontesk People's Republic carried out a number of successful operations to eliminate attacks by the regular units of the Armed Forces and gangs of fascist armed formations of the Kiev regime, which is the spiritual heir of the Hitlerite henchmen Bandera and Shukhevych.

As head of the Dontetsk People's Democratic Republic, Alexander Zakharchenko showed himself to be a wise statesman who, even in times of extreme wartime difficulties, managed to establish the life of peaceful citizens of the republic and restore the work of many enterprises and social institutions.

We are sure that, despite the vile murder of the Head of the Donetsk People's Republic Alexander Zakharchenko and earlier - a number of leaders of the militia of Motorola, Givi, Mozgovoy and other heroes, carried out by the Kiev neo-Banderite regime, the people of Donbass will not be able to break. On the contrary, the more atrocities Kiev creates on the Donetsk land, the greater the hatred of the working people of the Donbas.

The death of Alexander Zakharchenko should prompt the leadership of the Russian Federation to finally give up its floating position - both ours and yours - to solve the problem of the political recognition of the Dniester and the Dontesk People's Republic and, being the main investor of Ukraine, to stop investing in the Kiev criminal pro-fascist regime, thereby stop sponsoring new contract killings on the territory of Novorossia.

The memory of the courageous hero of Donbas, the anti-fascist, patriot, statesman Aleksandr Vladimirovich Zakharchenko will always remain in the hearts of progressive people.
