Comrades, stay alert!

Vladimir Putin traps the Communists into voting for a “new” anti-Soviet constitution!

On March 5 of this year, according to the established tradition of recent years, Soviet patriots and communists of Arkhangelsk (members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks and the Russian Communist Party) held a memory watch at the monument to Stalin on the occasion of the death of the Leader of the Soviet People.

They made speeches, recalled the past, were indignant at the mocking cynicism of Vladimir Putin, who called for a vote on amendments to the "Yeltsin" constitution on April 22, 2020 - the 150th anniversary of the birth of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.

The Communists faced the problem of participation / non-participation in the public-political campaign declared by the authorities to support and legitimize the "Putin" amendments to this constitution.

On issues of power and property, both constitutions are essentially identical. However, in the eyes of the working people, Yeltsin remains “a drunkard and a traitor to Soviet power”, and Vladimir Putin was and remains “a slave to the galleys”. But these galleys belong to the owners who came to power in Russia with the support and participation of that same Yeltsin.

How to be?

For members of the AUCPB and the RKRP, the question is simply solved - they do not play with the imperious "thimbles" and do not participate in the farce in voting for "Putin's" amendments.

Members of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is all the more difficult. The party leadership took the initiative of President Putin with all seriousness and officially approved at its plenum 15 amendments to the new edition of the constitution. The sixteenth amendment “on the prohibition of foreign property to Russian officials and deputies” was introduced by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation during the discussion. For all these proposals, the Communist Party leadership was refused ...

And what to do now?

If you call for a boycott of the vote, you will quarrel with the president of the country ...

If you take part in the vote, you will become an accomplice of the "Putin" provocation and disgrace yourself before the working masses ...

Let's hope that the Communist Party of the Russian Federation has enough real Communists and they will find a decisive answer to the emerging revolutionary situation in Russia.

 the question of Stalin

Fragments from an article by the CCP regarding the Open Letter of the CPSU Central Committee

The editorial board of the newspaper "People's Daily", the Editorial Office of the magazine "Hongqi"

(September 13, 1963)

The Chinese Communist Party invariably believes that the complete and indiscriminate denial of JV Stalin by Comrade Khrushchev under the pretext of the so-called “struggle against the cult of personality” is completely erroneous and tendentious.

A letter from the CPC Central Committee dated June 14 indicates that the so-called “struggle against the cult of personality” contradicts Lenin's integral teaching on the relationship between leaders, the party, the class and the masses and violates the principle of democratic centralism in the party.

In his Open Letter, evading the answer to the fundamental arguments put forward by us, the Chinese Communists pasted the label to the Chinese Communists as "defenders of the personality cult, carriers of Stalin's erroneous ideas."

At one time, V.I. Lenin, giving a rebuff to the Mensheviks, said: "Not to respond to the principal argument of the enemy and ascribing to him only" pathos "means not arguing, but cursing." The Central Committee of the CPSU in its Open Letter does exactly the same as the Mensheviks did.

Despite the fact that in the Open letter of the CPSU Central Committee the dispute is replaced by abuse, we will nevertheless give fundamental arguments and numerous facts to answer this letter.

The Great Soviet Union is the first state in the world of the dictatorship of the proletariat. Initially, the leader of the party and government of this state was V.I. Lenin, and after his death, I.V. Stalin.

After the death of Lenin, Stalin not only stood at the head of the party and government of the Soviet Union, but was also the universally recognized leader of the international communist movement.

The history of the world's first socialist state, which began with the October Revolution, is only 46 years old. Of these, for about 30 years, the main leader of this state was Stalin. The life and work of Stalin occupies an extremely important place both in the history of the dictatorship of the proletariat and in the history of the international communist movement.

The Chinese Communist Party has always believed and still believes that the question of how to understand Stalin and relate to him is not only a question of assessing Stalin himself, but, more importantly, the question of how to generalize the historical experience of the dictatorship of the proletariat and the historical experience of the international communist movement since the death of Lenin.

At the Twentieth Congress of the CPSU, Comrade Khrushchev completely and indiscriminately denied Stalin. On such a fundamental issue related to the entire international communist movement as the question of Stalin, he had not previously consulted with fraternal parties, and after the Twentieth Congress, confronting them with a fait accompli, he began to impose a decision on them at the Congress. Whoever disagrees with the CPSU leadership in assessing Stalin is accused not only of “justifying the personality cult”, but also of “interfering” in the internal affairs of the CPSU. However, no one can deny either the international significance of the historical experience of the world's first state of the dictatorship of the proletariat, or the historical fact that Stalin was at the head of the international communist movement, and therefore cannot deny that the question of assessing Stalin is an important question of principle concerning the entire international communist movement. So on what basis do CPSU leaders prohibit other fraternal parties from giving an objective analysis and assessment of Stalin’s activities?

We have always opposed and are opposed to the wrong criticism of Stalin, which is conducted from an erroneous position and erroneous methods.

During the life of Lenin, Stalin fought against the tsarist regime, engaged in the propaganda of Marxism; Having entered the leadership of the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party led by Lenin, Stalin led preparations for the 1917 revolution, and after the October Revolution he defended the gains of the proletarian revolution.

After the death of Lenin, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Soviet people, led by Stalin, waged a decisive struggle against all internal and external enemies, defended and strengthened the world's first socialist state.

Under the leadership of Stalin, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Soviet people firmly and steadily pursued a line in their country on socialist industrialization and collectivization of agriculture and achieved great successes in socialist transformations and socialist construction.

Under the leadership of Stalin, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the Soviet people and the Soviet Army, waging extremely heavy battles, won a great victory in the anti-fascist war.

JV Stalin defended and developed Marxism-Leninism in the struggle against opportunists of all stripes, against the enemies of Leninism - the Trotskyists, Zinovievites, Bukharinites and other agents of the bourgeoisie.

JV Stalin, through his theoretical works, which are the immortal works of Marxism-Leninism, made an unfading contribution to the cause of international the communist movement.

Generally speaking, under the leadership of Stalin, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Soviet government pursued a foreign policy in line with proletarian internationalism and greatly supported the revolutionary struggle of the peoples of the world, including the revolutionary struggle of the Chinese people.

JV Stalin led the struggle, being at the very forefront of the historical stream, he was an implacable enemy of imperialism and all reactionaries.

All the activities of Stalin are closely connected with the struggle of the great Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the great Soviet people and are inseparable from the revolutionary struggle of the peoples of the whole world.

The life and work of Stalin is the life and work of the great Marxist-Leninist, the great proletarian revolutionary.

         The leaders of the CPSU condemn us, the Chinese Communists, for acting as the “defenders” of Stalin. Yes, we protect Stalin. In the conditions when Khrushchev falsifies history and completely and indiscriminately denies Stalin, it is quite natural that our immediate duty is to stand up for Stalin in the name of the interests of the international communist movement.

Defending Stalin, the Chinese Communist Party defends the right side of its activity, defends the glorious history of the struggle of the world's first state dictatorship of the proletariat born of the October Revolution, defends the glorious history of the struggle of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, defends the prestige of the international communist movement in the eyes of the working people of the whole world, in a word, defends the theory and practice of Marxism-Leninism. And so not only the Chinese Communists do this, so did all the Communists who are devoted to Marxism-Leninism, all the staunch revolutionaries, all honest people

But what about Comrade Khrushchev and some other leaders of the CPSU, starting with the начиная Congress of the CPSU?

        Instead of giving a historical, scientific and comprehensive analysis of the life and work of Stalin, they deny everything and everything, without distinguishing truth from untruth;

* Instead of treating Stalin as a comrade, they treat him as an enemy;

     * Instead of generalizing experience and drawing lessons through criticism and self-criticism, they blame all the mistakes on Stalin or ascribe to him the so-called “mistakes” arbitrarily fabricated by them;

   * Instead of giving facts and arguments, they are engaged in demagogy and incitement, attacking with personal attacks on Stalin.

By sending curses to Stalin, Khrushchev thereby inflicts the greatest insult to the great Soviet people and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the greatest insult to the Soviet Army, the greatest insult to the dictatorship of the proletariat and the socialist system, the greatest insult to the international communist movement and the revolutionary Marxism of the whole world, .

What is the difference between the curses of Khrushchev against Stalin and the curses that imperialists, reactionaries of various countries and renegades of communism send to Stalin? Why is there such a fierce hatred of Stalin? Why is it attacked even more viciously than enemies?

Speaking against Stalin, Khrushchev actually speaks with frantic fury against the Soviet system, against the Soviet state. In this regard, his spitefulness is not inferior in language to such renegades as Kautsky, Trotsky, Tito, Djilas, and even far surpasses them.

V.I. Lenin in his article “On the Political Importance of Warfare” wrote that “the abuse in politics often covers the utter inaction and helplessness, powerlessness, angry powerlessness of the wrestlers”. Is it not their lack of ideology, helplessness and angry impotence that the leaders of the CPSU seek to cover up with abuse to JV Stalin, who always seem to be being haunted by Stalin’s ghost?

The vast majority of Soviet people do not approve of the vilification of Stalin. They remember with more warmth Stalin. The leaders of the CPSU, however, seriously broke away from the masses. Everything seems to them that everywhere the ghost of Stalin wanders and pursues them. In fact, it is the broad masses who express extreme dissatisfaction with the complete and indiscriminate denial of Stalin. Until now, Khrushchev does not dare to acquaint the Soviet people and the peoples of the countries of the entire socialist camp with the secret report made by him at the Twentieth Congress of the CPSU, in which he completely and indiscriminately denies Stalin. This is because the secret report is embarrassing to show people in the face and that this report is completely alien to the masses.

If Khrushchev’s memory is not short, then he must remember that he himself in his speech delivered at a mass rally in Moscow in January 1937, correctly condemning those who attacked Stalin, said: “Raising a hand against Comrade Stalin, they raised it against us all, against the working class, against the working people! Raising their hand against Comrade Stalin, they raised it against the teachings of Marx - Engels - Lenin! ” More than once, he himself sang the praises of Stalin, calling him "a close friend and ally of the great Lenin" "

the greatest genius, teacher and leader of mankind ”,“ the great Marshal of Victory ”,“ a friend of the people in their simplicity ”,“ a father ”.

If Khrushchev’s memory is not short, then he, of course, must remember that it was he himself, during the period of Stalin’s leadership, who especially eagerly supported and implemented the then policy of the struggle against counter-revolution.

On June 6, 1937, at the Fifth Party Conference of the Moscow Region, Khrushchev said: “Our party will mercilessly crush a gang of traitors and traitors, wipe the entire Trotsky-right carrion off the face of the earth ... The unshakable leadership of our Central Committee, the unshakable leadership of our leader comrade. Stalin. ... We will destroy the enemies without a trace - all to one - and scatter their dust in the wind. "

On June 8, 1938, speaking at the IV party conference of the Kiev region, Khrushchev said: “The Yakirs, Balitsky, loving, Zatonsky and other scum wanted to bring Polish lords to Ukraine, they wanted to bring German fascists, landowners and capitalists here ... We destroyed quite a few enemies, but not all. Therefore, we must look at both. We must firmly remember the words of Comrade. Stalin, that as long as there is a capitalist environment, spies and saboteurs will be sent to us. ”

Nowadays, when modern revisionism has become widespread, one should not be surprised at such disgusting behavior of Khrushchev. Back in 1915, Lenin, condemning the departure of the revisionists of the от International from Marxism, noted: “In our time, forgotten words, confused principles, overturned worldviews, pushed away resolutions and solemn promises are not surprising.”

The events that took place after the Twentieth Congress of the CPSU fully showed what serious consequences the complete and indiscriminate denial of Stalin by the leadership of the CPSU led to. The complete and indiscriminate denial of Stalin gave the imperialists and reactionaries of various countries the shell that they were so eager to get to launch an anti-Soviet, anti-communist campaign. It was after the Twentieth Congress of the CPSU that the imperialists, taking advantage of Khrushchev's secret anti-Stalinist report, launched a broad anti-Soviet, anti-communist campaign throughout the world. Seizing the opportunity, the imperialists, reactionaries, the Tito clique and opportunists of all stripes launched an offensive against the Soviet Union, against the socialist camp and communist parties, as a result of which many fraternal parties and fraternal countries found themselves in an extremely difficult situation.

The frantic campaign against Stalin, launched by the leadership of the CPSU, caused revitalization among the Trotskyists, who had long become political corpses. They made a fuss about Trotsky’s “rehabilitation”. In November 1961, on the eve of the closing of the КП Congress of the CPSU, the international secretariat of the so-called IV International published a "letter to the Congress of the CPSU and the new Central Committee of the CPSU." The letter says that Trotsky predicted back in 1937 that "a monument to the victims of Stalin would be erected"; “Today, this prediction comes true. At your congress, your first party secretary has already promised to erect this monument. ” This letter in particular requires that Trotsky’s name “be carved in gold letters on the monument to the victims of Stalin.” Without hiding their deep joy, the Trotskyists believe that the campaign launched by the CPSU leadership against Stalin "opened the door for Trotskyism" and this "will greatly contribute to the development of Trotskyism and its organization, the Ⅳ international."

I.V. Stalin died in 1953. Three years later, the leadership of the CPSU launched a broad campaign against Stalin at the КП Congress of the CPSU; and eight years later, at the ⅩⅩⅡ Congress of the CPSU, it again launched a broad campaign against Stalin, and removed his body from the Mausoleum. In developing such broad anti-Stalinist campaigns one after another, the leadership of the CPSU aims to nullify the unfading influence of this great proletarian revolutionary on the Soviet people and the peoples of the whole world, to subvert Marxism-Leninism, which Stalin defended and developed at one time, and to open for itself the path to comprehensive carrying out its revisionist line.

The revisionist line of the CPSU leadership originates precisely from the Twentieth Congress of the CPSU, and at the ⅩⅩⅡ Congress of the CPSU it took shape in a complete system. It becomes more and more obvious that the revision by the leaders of the CPSU of the Marxist-Leninist doctrine of imperialism, of war and peace, of the proletarian revolution and the dictatorship of the proletariat, of the revolution in colonies and semi-colonies, of the proletarian party, etc., is inextricably linked with their complete and sweeping denial of Stalin.

The complete and indiscriminate denial of Stalin by the leadership of the CPSU is carried out under the screen of the so-called "struggle against the cult of personality."

The so-called "struggle against the cult of personality", launched by the leadership of the CPSU, did not at all aim to restore the "Leninist norms of party life and the principles of leadership" as they themselves advertise this. On the contrary, this “struggle” means a departure from Lenin’s teachings on the relationship between leaders, party, class and masses, a departure from the principle of democratic centralism in  party.

Everyone knows that the creation of the atomic and hydrogen bombs by the Soviet Union was a great success for the workers of science and technology of the Soviet Union and the Soviet people, achieved during the leadership of Stalin. The base for rocketry was also laid during the leadership of Stalin.

The leaders of the CPSU make under the guise of the slogan "struggle against the cult of personality." In fact, they, in the words of Lenin, "instead of the old leaders who hold universal views on simple things, put forward ... new leaders who speak supernatural nonsense and confusion."

Khrushchev said: “Oh, how good it would be if Stalin died ten years earlier!” As you know, Stalin died in 1953. If Stalin died ten years earlier, that would be in 1943, that is, just when the Soviet Union launched a counteroffensive in the Great Patriotic War. Who longed for Stalin's death at that time? Hitler!

In the history of the international communist movement, the opportunists have never succeeded in denying Marx, Engels, Lenin with the help of insinuations, nor can Khrushchev succeed in denying Stalin with the help of insinuations.

Khrushchev can, using his privileged position, somehow revise Marxism-Leninism, but he will never succeed, using his privileged position, to subvert Marxism-Leninism, which was upheld by I.V. Stalin and which the Marxist-Leninists of the whole world upheld and defend.

Long live the great revolutionary doctrine of Marx - Engels - Lenin - Stalin.

On the position of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation regarding the adoption of the new Constitution of the Russian Federation

In two issues of the newspaper Pravda (No. 9 of 01/30/2020 and No. 12 of 02/06/2020) - the central organ of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) - a statement by the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation “The Constitution is obliged to protect the interests of the majority” and the article “Russia we need a Constitution of justice and a government of public trust ”, signed by the chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Gennady Zyuganov.

As previously noted in the materials of the AUCPB, a party led by Zyuganov is only called a communist party, but in reality it is a Social Democratic party of a parliamentary type. This is exactly what it was planned by the trinity - Gorbachev, Yeltsin and Zyuganov - at their joint meeting in August 1991, and it was created in February 1993. The ideological principles of the Communist Party — opportunism, revisionism and cooperation with the bourgeoisie — have been the foundation of the Communist Party since its founding. . In politics, she denies the revolutionary path of struggle and the dictatorship of the proletariat, in economics, it admits its multistructure with private ownership of the means of production.

The Communist Party’s statement noted that “In the event of a fair referendum being conducted fairly and not replaced by a“ nationwide poll ”, the“ execution ”Constitution (Yeltsin’s 1993 - V.Z.) had no chance of success.” We have to remind our readers that precisely because the Communist Party brought 15% of voters to a referendum on December 12, 1993, the Yeltsin bourgeois Constitution became the main law of the Russian Federation, which is still in force (According to official figures, 54.81% of the Yeltsin draft constitution The Russian Federation was supported then by 58.43% of those who voted). The AUCPB, as is known, urged not to participate either in the blood parliamentary elections or in a referendum under the conditions of the bourgeois Yeltsin dictatorship.

Further, in a statement by the Communist Party, Putin’s amendments are not enough, so their party proposes its own:

“- to fix the belonging of the Russian bowels to the people ...;

- oblige the government to index pensions ...;

- fix the retirement age as the most important social guarantee: 60 years for men, 55 years for women;

- establish that the minimum wage and minimum pension cannot be less than the subsistence level ”(The statement lists seven more similar proposals).

The question arises: since 1993, Zyuganovites have been sitting in the State Duma of Russia for 27 years and constantly come up with similar proposals that the Russian parliament has not accepted. Why? Because the Zyuganovites, who call themselves Leninists, in reality do not want to heed the warning of V.I. Lenin on "parliamentary cretinism" under the rule of the bourgeoisie.

At the end of his article published in the February issue of Pravda, Zyuganov writes: “At the same time, we also abstained from voting against (the government of Mishustin - VB), believing that we need to give the new cabinet a chance to change the situation for the better.” That is, for many years, deputies from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation have not learned anything if they believe that the bourgeois government is able to improve the lives of ordinary people.

And all this despite the fact that the Communist Party has its own very significant experience. As you know, on March 15, 1996, the lower house, at the suggestion of Zyuganovites, despite Yeltsin’s warnings, adopted a resolution according to which the decision of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR of December 12, 1991 to denounce the Treaty on the Formation of the USSR was recognized as invalid. From this day on, the USSR was considered restored. But Yeltsin ignored this decision, telling reporters that at his order the ambassadors of the CIS countries were gathered, who were explained that this decision of the State Duma would have no consequences. So ingloriously ended the demagogic attempt of the false communists.

It should be noted that many Russians have not trusted Zyuganov for a long time, since he failed them in the same 1996, when, having gained the majority of votes in the presidential election, he transferred victory to Yeltsin without a fight.

OBJECTIVE VIEW OF SOCIALISM AND SOVIET POWER

In the newspaper of the Union of the struggle for national sobriety (SBNT) "Comrade" No. 9 (205) - October-November 2013, an article was published under the heading "Robbery strategy. Failing weapon of the enemy. " The source is indicated at the end of the article - DESNITSA newspaper, No. 4 (14), 2000 (Moscow). Thus, this article was written 20 years ago. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to reproduce it today, these days.

Its author is Fedor Grigorievich Uglov (1904-2008), an outstanding surgeon of our time (a student of an outstanding Russian doctor N.N. Petrov), doctor of medical sciences, professor of I.P. St. Petersburg University Pavlova, Honorary Chairman of the St. Petersburg Society of Surgeons, full member of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, International Slavic Academy, Petrovsky Academy of Sciences and Arts, editor-in-chief (from 1953 to 2006) of the journal “Herald of Surgery”, member of the Union of Writers of Russia, sober lifestyle advocate , laureate of the Lenin Prize.

The mass media, being in the hands of people alien to Russia and its indigenous population, are climbing over their heads to represent our country and our life under Soviet rule in black colors.

As an active participant in this life from the age of 13 and throughout the entire period of the existence of Soviet power, as a person who has never participated in any power structures, I can quite objectively and impartially say what our life was like, and everyone can compare it with what it has become in the last ten years for a Russian person who is not participating in the new power structures.

I’ll tell you about the state of health and human longevity under Soviet rule. I think this side of human life and society best describes the social system.

I will give for comparison statistical data on Sweden, where they were well recorded (these indicators are typical for most European states with a capitalist system).

In 1755, in Sweden, the average life expectancy was 34 years (previously it was much lower); in 1816–40 (i.e. after 60 years) - 41 years; in 1911–20 (i.e. after another 95 years) - 57 years; in 1945-50 - 68 years old.

A similar situation in the USA: 1800 - 33 years; 1850 - 42 years; 1900 - 49 years; 1950 - 68 years.

Now the data for Russia. If in 1896–97. in European Russia (in which serfdom was abolished only 40 years before - February 19, 1861), the average life expectancy was 32 years (and even less with the outskirts, inhabited mainly by ethnic minorities), already in 1926 –27 years she grew up to 44 years old (for men 42 years old, for women under 47 years old). By this time, illiteracy was eliminated in the country and education compulsory for all was introduced. In 1955–56 the average life expectancy was already 67 years (63 years for men and 69 years for women). Thus, over 50 years, the average life expectancy has doubled. In 1970–76 life expectancy for men was 65 years, for women 74 years.

Thus, Russia during the Soviet era, in matters of increasing life expectancy in 50-60 years, has come the way in which the capitalist countries took 150-200 years.

This is only one of the indicators of governing the country and caring for a person. Of course, this does not exhaust the achievements of Soviet power. Free treatment has been introduced, available at all levels. In health, the achievements of Soviet power were among the most outstanding in the world. This is the elimination of tuberculosis and sexually transmitted diseases, and a reduction of almost ten times the infant mortality rate, and much, much more.

The Soviet government introduced compulsory 7-year education in the country (and then secondary education), affordable and free higher education with scholarships for students.

The rapid development of science began. In addition to numerous universities, in which, along with teaching, a lot of scientific work was carried out, numerous research institutes were created in all the most important fields of science. Under Soviet rule, we were the first in the world to go into space. But the most important thing is that in a historically short period, Russia has turned from a backward semi-illiterate country (before the revolution there were 90% of illiterates) into a country of universal literacy. An army was created - the strongest in the world. For 10-12 years, the armament of the army was created, which could withstand the weapons assembled and created almost throughout Europe. Is it necessary to compare all these achievements of Soviet power, verified by history, with those "achievements" that the "democrats" achieved for their almost ten-year rule of the country? What did they turn our country into, our army? Having plundered the whole nation, they enriched a handful of criminals who, having taken seats in the government and put their bribed bullies in all the media, "rubbed points" to the world, talking about their "reforms." They turned the richest country with a prosperous population into separate pieces of individual "princes"in “with the impoverished multimillion people in almost all the“ principalities ”- and the few who are fattening from the looted wealth, who, with the help of the media created in their own image, fool the people every day, trying to achieve its humility.

And so that people do not remember the Soviet power, which from the standpoint of their present life is a paradise on earth, they are trying in every possible way to slander it. But the more their “voices” lie, the clearer the true face of the Soviet power appears and the more the desire to return to it again grows.

Understanding perfectly how the life of most people has changed dramatically for the worse with the advent of the "reformers", the ruling mafia, in order to drown people's memory and poison them, began to solder the people at a frantic pace, not only opening all internal alcohol gateways, but also giving complete freedom to all foreign solders turn our country into an alcoholic sea.

Under the “reformers,” the level of alcohol consumption went up steeply, reaching catastrophic proportions unprecedented in world history.

Children's homelessness has sharply grown (which was eliminated by the Soviet government within two or three years of the very first and difficult period of its existence).

What achievements can the "reformers" boast of?

It turns out that over the past ten years, the life expectancy of Russian people has decreased to 58-60 years (that is, 10 years) and continues to decline. The birth rate decreased by 2–3 times, the mortality rate increased sharply, exceeding the birth rate by 1–1.5 million people per year. During the "reforms" we have already lost at least 10 million people.

Chubais chose alcohol as the main weapon for the destruction of Russian people - the most powerful and reliable.

Under Soviet rule, alcohol consumption ranged from zero (over 11 years) to 7–8 liters recently per capita per year. Under the "reformers" it reached the limit of 25 liters per capita per year. In its entire thousand-year history, Russia did not have such a level!

But the "reformers" alcohol genocide seemed insufficient weapons against the Russian people. They opened all the doors to illegal drugs, directing their deadly blow to youth and adolescents. Now, according to unofficial data (official sources are silent, as they got water in their mouths), almost 40% of drug addicts among young people and teenagers! But it is known that for a person it is enough for several years to “generation” for a sad end.

Enemies of the Russian people can rub their hands in pleasure. According to Dulles’s plan, an additional lethal weapon is aimed at Russian youth, aimed at our teenagers, which will complete what the Gaidar-Chubais and others like them started.

Having ravaged the country, drowned out the people, killed teachers and doctors, raised the prices of medicines to lawlessness, they celebrate their Pyrrhic victory.

A few years ago I made a report among the workers of Severodvinsk. Speaking about the increasing level of alcohol consumption, I said that the enemies of Russia deliberately solder the Russian people. Someone from the audience asked defiantly: "Where do you see these enemies? Why do not we see them?" Now I would like to ask this person a question: "Does he really not see the enemies who solder Russian people today?"

P.S. Sometimes you can hear surprise from the girls, why now guys, men went some kind of weak, frail? But where do strong, healthy guys, men come from (they don’t fall out of the sky!) If the girls themselves first smoke, drink, take drugs, disfigure their beautiful bodies with completely harmless tattoos, piercings, and then give birth to babies with all the consequences ...

That is why girls are given “privileges” in nightclubs: free admission, “spill”, where, in addition to alcohol, drugs are mixed in; after drinking such “drinks” with girls, you can do whatever you want ...

Close to this is such a "picture" of capitalism as juvenile delinquency. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs alone, in 2019, 37,953 offenders under the age of majority were identified, they accounted for 3.9% of all solved crimes in Russia last year. Moreover, the number of grave and especially grave crimes by minors is growing: if in 2018 there were 9716, then in 2019 - 10 113. The statistics also recorded 1615 cases of involving minors in criminal activity.

The Republic of Tuva is the record holder for juvenile delinquency, where juveniles are involved in almost every 10th solved crime. Next comes Karelia with 7.2% of the total number of crimes uncovered. Then follow the Sverdlovsk region, the Nenets Autonomous Okrug and the Trans-Baikal Territory. The top ten “winners” are Volgograd Oblast and Primorsky Krai. Child crime has become a problem in the Pskov, Novgorod, Ivanovo and Amur regions.

All this is politics, the class struggle of the capitalists against the working class, against the working people. Only socialism and soviet power can put an end to all this!

Address by the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the AUCPB to the working people of Russia

The next bourgeois version of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, securing the dominance of big capital and the exploitation of Russian workers, should be rejected

 President of the Russian Federation V. Putin announced amendments to the main law of the state - the 1993 Constitution of the Russian Federation.

It was adopted at the end of the year (December 12) as a result of tank shots rumbled in Moscow on October 3-4, 1993. Then President B. Yeltsin dispersed the Supreme Council of Russia and shot his defenders, thereby making a coup. The 1993 Constitution was imposed on the people of Russia by force. The proposed revision of the 2020 Constitution preserves the essence, the main content of the Constitution on the blood of 1993. It was adopted in the interests of large Russian capital in order to push through reforms with the help of accelerated methods. Under this Constitution, authoritarian presidential power was introduced, which gave the president the right to form a government and dissolve parliament (State Duma). The role of parliament, in fact, is reduced to decoration: any law adopted by the State Duma is subject to approval by the "upper house" - the Federation Council - and the president, who may reject the adopted laws. Finally, the president has the right to issue his own decrees, which have the same force as laws.

The basic law of the state, providing for the dictatorial powers of the president, is typical for those capitalist countries where power is unstable and the lack of democratic support is replaced by a strong police regime. Similar "constitutions" can be found in Latin America during periods of military dictatorships, when the "constitution" is nothing more than a fig leaf. An authoritarian power scheme was also, for example, in France during the time of General de Gaulle: this power was established when the French regime "staggered" and the bourgeoisie needed to strengthen it.

The 1993 Constitution of the Russian Federation was designed to protect bourgeois power, regardless of which parties would be elected to the State Duma. By inheritance, it (the Constitution) passed from Yeltsin to Putin.

The current constitutional amendments are intended to give the appearance of legality to preserving the power of President Putin, who has been at the head of the country for twenty years. It is supposed to change the form of power in Russia so that Putin remains its sovereign leader, and the political regime itself does not change its essence.

The main innovation will be the emergence of another authority - the State Council. The formula, when the president becomes the chairman of a certain high “Council”, has already been successfully tested in Kazakhstan - there N. Nazarbayev moved from one high chair to another.

Moreover, in Russia, the parliament is promised a slight expansion of rights. According to the amendments, the State Duma will be able to vote not only “for” or “against” the new Prime Minister, but also on the candidatures of some of the ministers. However, the powers of the president, formally reduced in favor of the parliament, are expanding elsewhere: now he will receive the right to initiate the dismissal of the chairmen of the Supreme and Constitutional Courts.

It is obvious that within the ruling authorities there is still a struggle of groups for a new look of the Constitution, and amendments are born in this struggle - hence the contradictions in them. One of the leading political scientists suggested that different amendments were written by different groups of people who did not coordinate them with each other. For the sake of masking the main perturbations, it is proposed to add to the basic law such moments as indexation of pensions for pensioners and the minimum wage corresponding to the minimum subsistence level (which looks shameful, but is presented as some good). Someone else jokingly proposed to add to the Constitution that “the weather should be good”, “the right of people to breathe,” etc. Various lobbyists began to compose their own amendments in order to strengthen their influence: for example, the Russian Orthodox Church Patriarch Kirill suggested mention “God” in the Constitution, and Cossack chieftains proposed the introduction of “Cossack police”. Etc…

But the jokes aside.

Regardless of who specifically becomes the head of state, which body will be added a little more authority, and which one will be slightly reduced, the 2020 Constitution of the Russian Federation, with the introduction of cosmetic amendments to the 1993 Constitution, does not change its essence. This is a bourgeois document that substantiates the power of the capitalists in the country and the lack of rights of the masses of working people with pompous words.

New formulas retain authoritarian, dictatorial forms of government, based primarily on the police force. In Russia, in fact, there is no parliament and parties, even in the form in which they are supposed in bourgeois-democratic states, and the entire system of power is subordinated to the interests of oligarchic groups.

The balance of power between capital and the masses can be changed only as a result of the revolutionary struggle of the working masses for their rights and interests - for socialism. No hope for a “parliamentary republic" or a "good president" is real.

For this reason, conscious workers should not participate but boycott hypocritical attempts by
the current government to draw them into empty "discussions" and "votes" around all sorts of decorative amendments to the bourgeois constitution. Conscious workers should understand that all this fuss was created by liberals to slyly give the “new” Constitution of the Russian Federation hostile to the people the ephemeral status of “popular approval” (“expression of will”). According to the statements of the supreme power of the Russian Federation, with the adoption of the "new" Constitution, there will be no change in the liberal course leading Russia into the abyss. The 1993 Constitution of the Russian Federation, dictated by Western puppeteers Yeltsin, cannot be “finalized” and presented to the people in the form of “improved”. The proposed "new" Constitution of the lack of rights of the people should be rejected.

APPEAL

 by left-patriotic public associations of Belarus, which formed the Coordination Council "Unity",



THERE ARE NO DEEP INTEGRATION OF BELARUS AND RUSSIA ALTERNATIVES

On December 8, 2019, the peoples of Belarus and Russia celebrated the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty on the Creation of the Union State of Belarus and Russia. However, after two decades, the peoples of our countries regret to note that the Union State has not been fully created.

For 20 years, many articles of the signed Treaty have not been fulfilled: a truly unified economic space has not been created, there is no single monetary unit (currency) provided for in Article 13 of the Treaty, the uniform citizenship of the Union State has not been fully implemented so that every citizen has equal rights to any its parts, which was provided for by the Treaty on the Equal Rights of Citizens of December 25, 1998, there is no Constitutional Act. Even article 10 of the 1999 Treaty on the Symbols and Attributes of Statehood of the Union State was not implemented - the simplest thing that could be done.

Many people in Belarus and Russia hoped that in connection with the 20th anniversary, our leaders would finally take decisive measures to put the Treaty on the Creation of the Union State into action. But our hopes have not yet been realized. Despite the intensive Belarusian-Russian negotiations held in November-December 2019, the new year 2020 was met without clear agreements on integration, as well as the price of oil and gas and their supplies to Belarus.

Finally, at the recent talks between President of Belarus A. Lukashenko and President of Russia V. Putin in Sochi, some half-hearted decisions were reached regarding the supply of gas and oil to Belarus and their prices. But the main issue - the issue of deepening integration - was again postponed indefinitely, which makes us feel anxious and insecure about tomorrow.

Over the past 13 years, we have been witnessing how difficult Belarusian-Russian negotiations on energy supplies are going on at the end of each year. In addition, milk, sugar and other “wars” in mutual trade periodically break out.

Why it happens? The answer is obvious: because there is no single economic space in which the free movement of goods, services, capital, labor within the territories of the participating states is ensured. The lack of a single economic space is a brake on the path of union construction. For example, in the European Union there is no such degree of mutual contradictions in internal trade as in our Union, although outside the EU there is a fierce struggle in foreign trade, for example, between the EU and the USA, the EU and China. It was with a view to mutual benefit that the countries of the European Union came together, agreeing to supranational bodies with fairly broad powers.

The Treaty on the Creation of the Union State of Belarus and Russia, signed on December 8, 1999, is the document in which the most important issue of the formation of a single economic space has been taken into account. In our opinion, with the full implementation of the Agreement, the issue of gas and oil prices can be resolved more simply not at the level of leaders of the participating states, but at the level of business entities (enterprises, firms, corporations, holdings, etc.). Other issues related to this issue specified in the Treaty are also thoroughly thought out, for example, the issue of creating supranational bodies of the Union State.

Moreover, for critics of the Treaty, it should be emphasized that the creation of supranational bodies and the voluntary delegation of authority to the Union State does not at all lead to the loss of sovereignty. Article 6 of the Treaty clearly states: “Each state party shall retain, taking into account the powers voluntarily transferred to the Union State, sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity, state structure, Constitution, state flag, coat of arms and other attributes of statehood.” In addition, article 37 (paragraph 1) of the Treaty says: “Acts of the Supreme State Council are adopted on the basis of unanimity of the participating states. An act is not adopted if one of the participating states opposes its adoption ”(The European Union has a similar principle of consensus in decision-making).

Independence is now widely spoken in Belarus. For those supporters of independence for whom the above arguments are unconvincing, we draw attention to the fact that in the present world almost all countries are interdependent from each other, even such a powerful state as the United States, as recent events have shown, depends on economic EU and China policy. At the same time, the advantages of large state and interstate entities under conditions of global economic instability are obvious, and world practice confirms: the higher the degree of integration of states, the more effective their union. Therefore, our public associations advocate sovereignty within the Union State, and not outside the Union of Belarus and Russia.

Tearing is not beneficial to either Belarusians or Russians, it destabilizes our economy and annoys ordinary people who say: "Pans are fighting, but forefathers are cracking at the lackeys." Then the question arises: who benefits from the disagreement between Belarus and Russia? The answer to this question was given in December 2012 by former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who announced her intention to oppose the integration process in the territory of the former USSR.

       However, our public associations are not at all limited to the economic benefits of creating the Union State of Belarus and Russia. In addition, there are political and military reasons requiring the unification of our states. As you know, the desire of the Belarusian people to unite with Russia was expressed twice: at the All-Union referendum on March 17, 1991, at which 82.7% of the inhabitants of the BSSR supported the preservation of a single state, and the republican referendum on May 14, 1995, at which 83.3% citizens of the Republic of Belarus voted in favor of the issue of integration with the Russian Federation.

We, Belarusians and Russians, have common roots, a common history, a common destiny, together our ancestors, who had a common self-name "Rusyns", i.e. "Russians", fought against foreign invaders. The divide and conquer policy is not new, it has been used since the time of the Roman Empire, and in the execution of the modern West in relation to the post-Soviet republics it is implemented in the form of “color revolutions”, as a result of which these republics are completely dependent on Western countries. The results of such a “revolution” turned out to be especially tragic for Ukraine, where a coup d'etat was carried out under the dictation of Western intelligence services. As a result, the power was seized by the Neo-Bandera, who unleashed a civil war and pursue a neo-fascist policy. With regard to the fraternal Ukrainian people, the main goal of the West has been successfully realized so far - the separation of Ukraine from Russia, which corresponds to the dreams of German Chancellor Bismarck "to oppose Ukraine to Russia, to pit two parts of a single people and watch how the brother will kill his brother."

Our public associations strongly oppose the implementation of the Ukrainian scenario in Belarus. Belarus is now the last bastion on the path of expansion of the West.

Unfortunately, in this harsh time, when, contrary to the assurances of the leaders of the Western countries, not to advance NATO forces to the east, their military contingents have already been deployed on the borders of the Union State of Belarus and Russia, the military danger against our peoples is growing. The situation is aggravated by the fact that the United States announced its withdrawal from the INF Treaty and its intention not to extend the START-3 treaty. Thus, the increasing military danger requires accelerating the unification of the resources of Belarus and Russia.

       In connection with the 75th anniversary of the Victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War, we propose that our media cover as fully as possible that the Victory was won thanks to the unity and friendship of all the peoples of the Soviet Union. We support the positive response of the President of the Republic of Belarus A. Lukashenko to the invitation of the President of the Russian Federation V. Putin to visit the Victory Parade, which will be held in Moscow on May 9.

We support the processions of the “Immortal Regiment” on May 9th, which are the popular action of our COMMON MEMORY about the Victory and those thanks to whom it was won. The “Immortal Regiment” campaign has become international in recent years and covers 110 countries of the world, unites people in the fight against war and neo-fascism.

       We, the leaders of the left-wing patriotic public associations of Belarus, which formed the Coordination Council "UNITY", appeal to you, Alexander Grigoryevich and Vladimir Vladimirovich, with an appeal:

       Show your political will and, in accordance with the Treaty of December 8, 1999, begin the full implementation of the unification of our countries into a single Union State with a functioning single leadership. In this case, clear terms of association should be determined. Full implementation of the Treaty will make the Union State attractive for other states to join it. Further delay the process of creating the Union State is unacceptable.

By implementing the Agreement, signed more than 20 years ago, you will go down in history as unifiers. Currently, throughout the territory of the former USSR, people curse the destroyers of the Great Power, of which they were proud.

         Make a possible impact on state-owned media so that they exaggerate as little as possible around the relations between Belarus and Russia and stop attacking each other. Our peoples are not at all interested in trade showdowns and competitions who outwit whom, they need real
things to improve their lives and ensure security, as well as peace and friendship.

         There is no alternative to the deep integration of Belarus and Russia.

TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER!
