00:00:32World War II. Nazis are killing civilians. It was called the sardine method. Victims laid in layers, like sardines in
00:00:43a jar. An effective way to exterminate many people in a short time.
00:00:47But this film will not be about the Nazis. Hands tied behind the back. An expertly aimed shot in the
00:00:58neck. And the fall into a huge mass grave.
00:01:02These people were not killed by the Nazis. They were killed by one of the Allies. The Soviet Union. The
00:01:13Soviet Union was killing people in this way for many years. Both before and after it joined the Allies.
00:01:22These victims had no memorials. They were buried in anonymous mass graves. The murderous power that killed them and the
00:01:32powers that collaborated with the murderer were never actually prepared to talk about them.
00:01:38The memory of millions of innocent victims was erased from history.
00:02:08Youth throughout the world likes to make jokes using popular symbols of the past.
00:02:13While the Nazi swastika is considered to be a bad joke, Soviet symbols are not.
00:02:22Communism, after all, was not Nazism. It was about equality and harmony. There was nothing wrong with the idea itself.
00:02:30Well, actually, there was. There was something which made it different from the other utopias.
00:02:39Lenin believed in what he called the War of Classes, which meant that the ultimate harmony can only be reached
00:02:46after certain groups of people are killed.
00:02:49In the world.
00:02:52Initially, when communists come to power, and there doesn't matter where, let it be in Russia, in Poland, in Cuba,
00:03:00in Nicaragua, it doesn't matter. In China.
00:03:03Initially, they destroy about 10% of population, and that's very specific.
00:03:08This is used not just to kill enemies, they're not enemies,
00:03:11it's to restructure the fabric of society.
00:03:14It's a social engineering.
00:03:16Top intellectuals, best workers, best engineers, they will kill them all.
00:03:23And then they will try to restructure the new society.
00:03:28Hang at least 100 kulaks, execute the hostages,
00:03:32do it in such a way that people for hundreds of miles around will see and tremble.
00:03:39Lenin.
00:03:41In 1917, the communists seized power.
00:03:45Lenin now had a chance to apply Marxism to real life.
00:03:49Those who resisted were shot.
00:03:54There were terrible massacres against resisting peasants.
00:04:00And again, nobody knows exactly how many people died,
00:04:06but we're talking about 10 million or more.
00:04:13But even the most ruthless terror could not break popular resistance,
00:04:18particularly in the ethnic republics,
00:04:20where communist terror was entwined with national oppression,
00:04:24as it was in Ukraine.
00:04:30On September 11th, 1932, Stalin wrote to his associate, Kaganovich.
00:04:36The situation in Ukraine is very bad.
00:04:39If we don't take steps now, we may lose Ukraine.
00:04:43Several meetings of Stalin's inner circle resulted in a plan of action.
00:04:48It was an horrific plan.
00:04:52In that winter, 1932 to 1933,
00:04:57all food supplies in the Ukraine were taken away.
00:05:02A huge cordon was created so that nobody could leave.
00:05:09Initially, people didn't die.
00:05:12Leftover supplies of grain and vegetables kept them alive.
00:05:17But this was not part of Stalin's plan.
00:05:22So he ordered in the KVD to confiscate all grain,
00:05:26all food from the series.
00:05:28By doing that, he knew he's condemning them to death.
00:05:31The fact is that it was not an environment that was taken away.
00:06:14And then the hunger began.
00:06:37And then the hunger began.
00:07:04Ukrainians were dying torturously slowly.
00:07:07Children cried agonizingly for bread.
00:07:11Many lost their sense of fear.
00:07:13They went to the NKVD-guarded fields to collect single ears of grain.
00:07:18They were shot on the spot.
00:07:25But most of the victims died slowly, at home.
00:07:29Special NKVD units raided people's homes to collect the dead bodies.
00:07:36They received 200 grams of bread for every dead body they delivered.
00:07:40They were told, who died?
00:07:45There was a woman, who lives, who lives.
00:07:49She said, let's take her now.
00:07:53We will go tomorrow.
00:07:55and tomorrow for her to go to school.
00:07:58She asked me,
00:07:59I want to live, I want to live.
00:08:21Many were buried alive.
00:08:35This is a holy place for me, because here are the victims of the Haldomar, including my friends and relatives,
00:08:47in particular, my grandmother.
00:09:04Ten years later, the Nazis will exterminate millions of Jews.
00:09:13They will take away their gold, melt it down, and deposit the bars in Swiss banks.
00:09:20We don't know what communists did with the gold confiscated from these people, and was there any gold?
00:09:26What we do know is what communists did with the grain taken from them. It was exported to the West.
00:09:35Millions upon millions of tons.
00:09:40Despite the famine, the export of Ukrainian grain was increased to the maximum level.
00:09:47The Western media reported both on the scale and character of the famine genocide.
00:09:54Ukrainians were being exterminated in front of the whole world. But the world did nothing to help them.
00:10:07Seven million people were starved to death in the space of one year.
00:10:16Mankind has never seen a more efficient extermination program than the one in Ukraine during the winter of 1932 and
00:10:281933.
00:10:39An
00:10:39Mankind was being raped by Nia's George Jostow.
00:11:00Soviet society was the first communist society on earth.
00:11:04It was a huge social experiment.
00:11:07The agonizing death of 7 million Ukrainians had a wider meaning
00:11:12in the distorted vision of the communist architects.
00:11:18You have to make the revolution,
00:11:22then establish the dictatorship of proletariat,
00:11:26and then the birth of the new man can be possible.
00:11:34The birth of the new man was the ultimate aim of Marxism,
00:11:40breeding a new evolutionary form of human being
00:11:42who will think, look and act differently.
00:11:47But communists were not alone in this endeavor.
00:12:04Hitler's national socialism was also about creating a new man.
00:12:13In both systems you have an ideology which has the ambition of creating a new man.
00:12:22That means that both systems don't agree with human nature as it is.
00:12:30They are at war with nature, with human nature.
00:12:33This is the root of totalitarianism.
00:12:37You find it both in the Nazi.
00:12:40In Nazi it's an ideology based on false biology.
00:12:45And communism is based on false sociology.
00:12:49But both systems have an ambition of being scientific and resting on a scientific basis.
00:12:57The main scientist of Nazism, Alfred Rosenberg, confessed to the Nuremberg Tribunal
00:13:04that Hitler had misused the idea of national socialism.
00:13:09Indeed, the idea, in the Nazi view, wasn't so bad after all.
00:13:15Healthy, beautiful, blonde and happy people.
00:13:26A future society.
00:13:29And without handicapped or Jews.
00:13:33Nearly a paradise.
00:13:36For some reason, national socialism did not work out.
00:13:41Just as the Soviet socialism didn't.
00:13:56Both left thousands of mass graves.
00:14:00Millions of murdered people.
00:14:06Was it coincidence?
00:14:16I don't think many people know that only socialists publicly advocated genocide in the 19th, 20th centuries.
00:14:25I think that's a very little known fact.
00:14:28And it seems shocking if you mention it.
00:14:31I've lectured on it here and in other universities.
00:14:34And it's always, always greeted with a sense of shock.
00:14:46It first appeared in January 1849 in Marx's journal Neue-Reinische Zeitung.
00:14:55Engels wrote of the, how the class war in Marxian terms means that when the socialist revolution happens, the class
00:15:06war happens, there will be primitive societies in Europe two stages behind because they're not even capitalist yet.
00:15:16And he had in mind.
00:15:18And he had in mind the Basques.
00:15:19And the Bretons.
00:15:21And the Scottish Highlanders.
00:15:23And the Serbs.
00:15:25And he calls them racial trash.
00:15:33And they will have to be destroyed because being two stages behind in the historical struggle, it will be impossible
00:15:42to bring them up to the point of being revolutionary.
00:15:45He spoke about vulgarity and dirtiness of Slavic people, you see.
00:15:54And he thinks, for instance, that Poland had no, Poland has no reason to exist.
00:16:03The classes and the races, too weak to master the new conditions of life, must give way.
00:16:10They must perish in the revolutionary Holocaust.
00:16:15Karl Marx.
00:16:18Marx began it.
00:16:20He was the ancestor of a modern political genocide.
00:16:25And I don't know that any European thinker of the modern period before Marx and Engels ever publicly advocated racial
00:16:35extermination.
00:16:36I can't find anything earlier.
00:16:38So I presume it starts with them.
00:16:44The teachings of Marx and Engels were carefully studied by Lenin, the man who established the first Marxist country on
00:16:52earth.
00:16:54One year after Lenin's death in 1924, the New York Times published a small article, which at the time went
00:17:02almost unnoticed.
00:17:05It was about some newly established party in Germany.
00:17:09The National Socialist Labour Party, of which Adolf Hitler is patron and father, persists in believing that Lenin and Hitler
00:17:17can be compared.
00:17:19Who's speaking?
00:17:20A certain Dr. Goebbels.
00:17:24On the speaker's assertion that Lenin was the greatest man, second only to Hitler, and that the difference between communism
00:17:31and the Hitler faith was very slight, a faction war opened with whizzing beer glasses.
00:17:40Amazing.
00:17:42The future Nazi propaganda minister Goebbels was openly declaring that the difference between Lenin's communism and the Hitler faith was
00:17:51very slight.
00:17:56As we read, it didn't go down well with potential voters, so the Nazis changed their tactics.
00:18:14The early campaign posters quietly disappeared.
00:18:19They never again publicly stressed their resemblance to communists.
00:18:26In the inner circle, however, the Nazis and Hitler were more outspoken.
00:18:35Hitler often said that he had learnt a great deal from Marxism, from reading Marx, I mean.
00:18:42The whole of National Socialism is based upon it, he said, meaning doctrinally based.
00:18:56People keep forgetting that Nazi regime in Germany was also socialist.
00:19:01It was, they officially were called National Socialist Workers' Party.
00:19:06So it's a branch of socialism.
00:19:08The Soviets were international socialists, and those were, in Germany, national socialists.
00:19:13So it's the same thing in reality, only slightly different interpretation.
00:19:20Thenatonic services were unattended.
00:19:31Until then?
00:19:37Look at the acceptation even.
00:19:37Look at this number and so say that these prawdziesy people have a great deal of study,
00:19:37The well and so say that these continue are asking what he created the funds.
00:19:42And the respect is he wrinkles.
00:19:44Thatucks being tortured by Mount Middle trading.
00:19:44A période of Range 16thits was brought découvrir and picture the human habitat.
00:19:45The same thingioni sacar 것 of his world is none.
00:20:03Part of the left went to Hitler.
00:20:06At least in France, part of the socialists went to become advocates of Hitler.
00:20:14The popular British playwright Bernard Shaw supported Hitler in the mass media.
00:20:20The left supported Hitler not because he deceived them.
00:20:24They knew Hitler would kill.
00:20:26He said he would.
00:20:28In fact, it was why they supported him.
00:20:33You must all know half a dozen people at least who are no use in this world,
00:20:38who are more trouble than they are worth.
00:20:40Just put him there and say, sir or madam, now will you be kind enough to justify your existence?
00:20:47If you can't justify your existence, if you're not pulling your weight in the social boat,
00:20:53if you're not producing as much as you consume, or perhaps a little more,
00:20:57then clearly we cannot use the big organisation of our society for the purpose of keeping you alive,
00:21:07because your life does not benefit us and it can't be of very much use to yourself.
00:21:14Bernard Shaw believed in mass killing by category, not usually by racial category, but by category, you know, the idle,
00:21:24the unfit.
00:21:26Killing off the parasites within society was what Marxian socialism was about.
00:21:32It demanded in a London newspaper that the scientists should devise a humane gas.
00:21:39I appeal to the chemists to discover a humane gas that will kill instantly and painlessly.
00:21:46Deadly by all means, but humane, not cruel.
00:21:55After ten years, such gas will be discovered.
00:21:59It will be called Cyclone B.
00:22:03The man who oversaw its practical application, Adolf Eichmann,
00:22:07will later testify that thanks to Cyclone B, people in Auschwitz died without pain.
00:22:14Cyclone B was a humane gas.
00:22:17Yes, Eichmann will use the very same words.
00:22:24It must be said, though, that Bernard Shaw, as well as the left in general, fundamentally opposed Nazism.
00:22:30Because Hitler had distorted Marxism beyond recognition.
00:22:35Gassing people based on their nationality was absolutely inexcusable.
00:22:40The selection should be based on class.
00:22:44Hitler got it all wrong.
00:22:46Absolutely different people needed to be killed.
00:22:52The only true Marxist country on earth was the Soviet Union.
00:22:57It exterminated strictly according to Marxist teaching, the class enemies.
00:23:03In general, the process was pretty similar to the extermination of the Jews.
00:23:08First, the victims were ridiculed and publicly humiliated.
00:23:13And then they were killed.
00:23:17Millions of them.
00:23:19Or who?
00:23:24They are here to claim them
00:23:31That they will burn out.
00:23:35They remainible in place.
00:23:35They will burn out Rambo I.
00:23:48If the enemy does not give up, it must be exterminated.
00:24:14The shooting itself was carried out in prisons.
00:24:18In the basement there were special shooting chambers,
00:24:21with concrete walls and with a runnel to channel blood.
00:24:26The person led to the corridor in the red corner.
00:24:29In the red corner, the last detection of personal data.
00:24:34He had to name his name and name.
00:24:37Then they brought him into this room.
00:24:40And as soon as he passed away, he got shot from the pistol.
00:24:47Yes, people were killed by a bullet in the head.
00:24:55We know that usually they were killed by bunches of, well, between 100 and sometimes several hundreds every night.
00:25:10Then the corpses were loaded onto trucks, driven out of towns and buried in nearby forests and parks.
00:25:18This is Bakivana forest near Kiev.
00:25:21The elderly people will never forget the trucks, which were driving here during the night.
00:25:27Blood was dripping from them en route.
00:25:33Only after 50 years the relatives were allowed to come here.
00:25:37They created this memorial where monuments are trees.
00:25:43Each tree in this forest is banded with a scarf in memory of the innocent victims,
00:25:48who were brutally murdered and dumped into mass graves here.
00:26:01Bakivana, Butovo, Leningrad, Venitsa, Kharkov.
00:26:07Mass graves littered the whole country.
00:26:23A whole generation of children lost their parents and became homeless, or so-called Besprisonia.
00:26:31Millions of them were begging for bread in the streets of Soviet cities.
00:26:36It was an embarrassing sight, especially if foreign friends came to visit Moscow.
00:26:42And Stalin tackled this problem.
00:26:46Stalin authorised in the middle of the 30s, because there was this problem of Besprisonia.
00:26:52He authorised children to be shot from the age of 12.
00:27:02People were being shot day and night throughout the biggest country in the world.
00:27:10Stalin even got to the point of killing people by random, by quarters.
00:27:16Let's say 100,000 in the Tambov district.
00:27:19Okay, that's it.
00:27:20Whoever they grabbed and shot will be fulfilling quarter.
00:27:24They wouldn't care about names.
00:27:25Then after the quotas were fulfilled, the local authorities would report to Stalin,
00:27:31to Central Committee, and asked for additional quotas.
00:27:35Hrushchev asked for a limit.
00:27:39He was allowed to have 7 or 8,000 enemies.
00:27:45He asked for a limit to 17,000.
00:27:48An additional quota will be given.
00:27:51And after fulfilling, they would again ask for additional quota.
00:27:54And so it will go in circles.
00:27:56It was like a Minsmith machine.
00:27:59It was just killing and killing and killing.
00:28:01Stalin, as a person, who was all in blood.
00:28:04I saw all this in his resolution.
00:28:06When he wrote it in his resolution,
00:28:07he wrote it with a patch.
00:28:07He wrote it with Molotov,
00:28:10Vорошilov,
00:28:10Kaganoyev,
00:28:11and Жdanov.
00:28:12This was the 5-year-old.
00:28:13And Molotov always added.
00:28:15He wrote,
00:28:15He wrote,
00:28:16He wrote,
00:28:17He wrote these days to no longer %.
00:28:19It will school
00:28:19explaining to hisINGS蒸 siitä,
00:28:31responses from Sunday at 2nd having been voted again.
00:28:31He wrote this before,
00:28:35I already wrote down,
00:28:39He wrote a bit about Yor yaşows where應.
00:29:07And in the result, just for these, from 1937 to 1941,
00:29:1211 million people.
00:29:1411 million.
00:29:16Can you imagine yourself what the scale of repressions of their people?
00:29:32Hitler.
00:29:58Hitler!
00:30:00Hitler!
00:30:01Hitler!
00:30:01Hitler!
00:30:02Hitler!
00:30:03Hitler!
00:30:06Hitler!
00:30:08Hitler!
00:30:11Hitler!
00:30:15Hitler!
00:30:46Had to be stopped.
00:31:17Hoping for someone to liberate them and Stalin and the Red Army will come as a liberator.
00:31:22That was his plan.
00:31:26But Hitler had no resources nor the secure rear borders to wage a large-scale war.
00:31:32So, on August 23, 1939, Hitler and Stalin sign a pact which provides Germany with a secure
00:31:41eastern border and huge supplies of strategic resources to be provided in later economic
00:31:47agreements.
00:31:48On August 24, the Nazi foreign minister Ribbentrop reports to Hitler on his visit to Moscow.
00:31:56Hitler rejoices.
00:31:57now he has everything he needs to start the world war.
00:32:06September 1, 1939.
00:32:09Hitler attacks Poland from the west.
00:32:11Poland is desperately resisting the Nazis.
00:32:14But then, on September 17, Poland is unexpectedly attacked from the east by the Soviet Union.
00:32:25The actions of the Soviet government had made, given the command to the siege of Poland, according
00:32:36to all the laws of international law, were not viewed as an aggression to the aggression of
00:32:45Poland.
00:32:46The Luftwaffe's bombers were attacking Polish cities.
00:32:50and the Soviet radio transmitter in Minsk guided them to their targets.
00:33:17The Red Army looked different then.
00:33:21It entered the Second World War side by side with the SS.
00:33:30Local populations sometimes could not tell the difference between the two, so, to be sure,
00:33:37they addressed both.
00:33:43The German army met the Red Army in the middle of Poland.
00:33:47And then the two totalitarian monsters, Soviet and German, divided the country between them.
00:33:58The Soviet press depicted the whole thing as a fight against Polish fascism.
00:34:02The peace-loving Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union were fighting aggressive Polish fascism.
00:34:16What the world did not know was that both dictators had agreed on more than Poland.
00:34:22In a secret protocol signed in the Kremlin a week before the war started, Hitler and Stalin agreed on the
00:34:29division of Europe.
00:34:32First of all, in this project, which was proposed by the Red Army, there was no one.
00:34:39There was no one.
00:34:40And, as strange as it was, the initiator of this secret agreement was Stalin himself.
00:35:04The first on the list was Finland.
00:35:22When the first bomberplanes came to bomb Helsinki, you know, the autumn of November 39,
00:35:32Finns thought that those Russian bomberplanes were lost simply that they bombing Helsinki by accident.
00:35:40Again the Russian bombers zoom over Helsinki.
00:35:43Again a proud city is shaken by the roar of destruction.
00:35:45Just feel your own heart beating faster as you see the buildings falling under the impact of the bombs.
00:35:53Moscow labelled Finland a fascist regime and launched a massive ground attack.
00:36:08It was a disaster.
00:36:12Russians lost a third of a million dead, frozen and wounded.
00:36:20Tiny Finland was miraculously holding back the world's largest army.
00:36:26But it was at an enormous cost.
00:36:30My father lost four of his brothers in that war.
00:36:35Four. That's a lot in one family.
00:36:37That was the price we paid that we did not have a democratic society next to us.
00:36:45Finland's flag is still flying.
00:36:47Though she may pass through the valley of sorrow, though she may lose her liberty and her land, she fights
00:36:52on.
00:36:56Yet another air raid on Helsinki.
00:36:58This time the captain catches the horror these dastardly attacks bring into the lives of the children as they dash
00:37:03terror-stricken to the shelter.
00:37:10People cowering against a wall for safety from aerial death.
00:37:13This is the mark of warfare against women and children.
00:37:17As the Russians retreat from the Arctic villages, even if they can't win, they can still burn and destroy.
00:37:24For its brutal aggression against Finland, the USSR was expelled from the League of Nations.
00:37:31The Kremlin's rhetoric about a fight against Finnish fascism was not taken seriously.
00:37:36Only three countries had previously been labeled as aggressors by the League.
00:37:43Militaristic Japan.
00:37:45Fascist Italy.
00:37:47And Nazi Germany.
00:37:49Now they were joined by the Soviet Union.
00:37:55In Europe, the Soviet Union had only one ally left.
00:37:59Hitler.
00:38:06Hitler launched his blitzkrieg in the West.
00:38:09Nazis occupied Denmark, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg.
00:38:17Norway was invaded with the direct help of the Soviet Union.
00:38:22Stalin provided the Nazis with a Soviet naval base near Murmansk,
00:38:25from which Hitler launched his attack on Norway.
00:38:28When it was made in Berlin a decision to stop the use of this base,
00:38:36it was sent a corresponding thanks to Admiral Redder,
00:38:46to the Narkoma of the Marine Marine Corps, Kuznetsov,
00:38:49with a statement of great thanks for the services provided by the German Marine Marine Corps.
00:38:57Stalin wrote to the Nazi foreign minister, Ribbentrop,
00:39:01the friendship between Germany and the Soviet Union was sealed by blood.
00:39:05Apparently, he meant the blood of the Soviet and Nazi victims.
00:39:10And friendship it was.
00:39:17Soviet and Nazi officers were meeting and discussing the progress of the war.
00:39:25This is December 1939.
00:39:29The progress was good.
00:39:30And the prospects looked even better.
00:39:34There was reason to celebrate.
00:39:48The Soviet Union became the main supplier of resources for the Nazi war machine.
00:39:55Thousands of tons of oil, iron ore, construction materials.
00:40:01Even trainloads of Soviet grain were sent to the German army.
00:40:09Soviet citizens were starving.
00:40:13But their government was sending food to Hitler.
00:40:26The Soviet Union went even further.
00:40:29It persuaded the Communist parties of Europe to sabotage the resistance movement and to support the Nazis.
00:40:36It was comforting to see Parisian workers talking to German soldiers as friends in the street or at the corner
00:40:44cafe.
00:40:45Well done, comrades, and keep it up.
00:40:48Even if it displeases the middle classes, the brotherhood of man will not remain forever a hope.
00:40:55It will become a living reality.
00:40:57That is the French Communist Party in July 1940.
00:41:07The Communist Party say today that they were resistant well before June 1941 when the Soviet Union was attacked.
00:41:20In fact, they were in fight with the Marichal Petain's government more than the German.
00:41:42In June 1940, Hitler crushed France.
00:41:45Stalin, meanwhile, occupied Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
00:41:50The only country in Europe still resisting Hitler was Great Britain.
00:41:55If Great Britain goes down, the Axis powers will control the continents of Europe and Asia and Africa and Australasia
00:42:06and the High Seas.
00:42:08And they will be in a position to bring enormous military and naval resources against this hemisphere.
00:42:17The US President Roosevelt regarded the Soviet Union as an Axis power.
00:42:23It was evident to everyone Stalin was in the fascist camp.
00:42:33The Soviet Premier, Molotov, went to Berlin to discuss the post-war world order.
00:42:39In the new Reichskanzlei, Molotov, from the leader to a long flight.
00:42:43He arrived with a list of territories the USSR was interested in.
00:42:48While Hitler and Molotov were discussing it, the other Soviet comrades enjoyed the company of Goebbels.
00:42:56Who must have talked about the advantages of Nazism.
00:42:59Because it was the Soviet Premier Molotov and not Goebbels who warned the West not to fight Nazi ideology.
00:43:08More than that, in his address to the Supreme Soviet in the Kremlin, Molotov declared that fighting Nazi ideology was
00:43:15actually a crime.
00:43:18It was published in all the largest Soviet newspapers.
00:43:22Later, that page will disappear from the public libraries of the USSR, along with many other pro-Nazi statements of
00:43:29the Soviet government.
00:43:30But why was fighting Nazism a crime in the Soviet view?
00:43:39Because mass killings and concentration camps were based on that ideology.
00:43:45Work makes you free.
00:43:47The Nazi camps.
00:43:49Work is an honor.
00:43:51The Soviet camps.
00:43:52If someone wanted to fight the ideology behind it, you would end up fighting the Soviet regime too.
00:43:59Molotov knew it.
00:44:01After all, he was the one who personally monitored the extermination of 7 million Ukrainians.
00:44:08Himmler monitored extermination of Jews.
00:44:11Both men agreed that for the common good, certain groups simply needed to be killed.
00:44:24Winston Churchill made no secret that to him, Nazi and communist ideologies were pretty similar.
00:44:31In his view, Nazism was a form of communist despotism.
00:44:36The hateful communist despotism, as Churchill called it in 1914, eventually won.
00:44:44With the help of the Allies.
00:44:47Here, it is celebrated.
00:44:49The 60th anniversary of the great victory.
00:44:52An historical parade.
00:44:55No less historical than the first Soviet victory parade in World War II.
00:44:59Together.
00:45:01With the Nazis.
00:45:04The commanders of the German and Soviet Russian troops
00:45:08took together the formation of their troops together.
00:45:11The
00:45:11wing of tribe in the express lυroo.
00:45:12Toasted that you spirit.
00:45:17The wing of tribe is核.
00:45:24There boom.
00:45:30The ground the identifier.
00:45:39The American guard.
00:45:40The wing of tribe in court.
00:45:41The man who suffered as powerful as the bot.
00:45:53The Soviets never emphasized that they were parading under the Nazi flag.
00:45:59Officially, Moscow portrayed itself as an epic anti-fascist fighter.
00:46:04Many people believed it.
00:46:07Many Jews fled to the USSR to be protected from Hitler.
00:46:13And then Stalin did something unimaginable.
00:46:18He rounded them up and delivered them back to the Gestapo as a gesture of friendship.
00:46:49Take a look at this footage again.
00:46:52The Soviet officer greeting his SS colleagues with a Nazi salute.
00:47:00The Nazi SS and the Soviet NKV, the Stalin Security Police, cooperated very closely.
00:47:13Archived documents reveal the enormous scale of this cooperation.
00:47:17Lists and lists of German communists and Jews, which Soviets were delivering to the Nazis.
00:47:25December 1937, April 1938, May 1938, November 1938.
00:47:35Most of these people perished in Nazi concentration camps.
00:47:39But the SS-NKVD partnership was not limited to the extradition of common enemies.
00:47:51The Soviet machinery of terror had been operating for 20 years before the Nazis even started.
00:48:15The Soviet officers in turn went to Nazi-occupied Krakow to meet with their SS colleagues.
00:48:21The Jewish question was high on the meeting's agenda.
00:48:27Soviet officials coordinated the deportation of Jews personally with the SS-Brigadeführer Otto Wechter.
00:48:34One of the masterminds of the Holocaust.
00:48:38He moved the Jews to the Krakow ghetto and later arranged their extermination in gas chambers.
00:48:47The fact that the Soviets collaborated with the SS is not denied by Russia anymore.
00:48:53What is still denied is that this collaboration was based on a written agreement.
00:49:02It's on German, right?
00:49:04Open it, please.
00:49:05Here's the inscription of Beria.
00:49:09This is on German, right?
00:49:11Vollmacht, something like that.
00:49:14Oh, it's a complete secret.
00:49:14It's on German.
00:49:17Reis Führer SS, the General General Security Administration, Berlin, 3 November 1938.
00:49:21На основании этой доверенности мой представитель штандартенфюрер SS Генрих Мюллер имеет поручение подписать в Москве с руководством органов безопасности Советского
00:49:30Союза соглашения о совместной деятельности между НКВД и Генеральным управлением безопасности Германии, на которое мы возлагаем большие надежды, подчеркнуто два
00:49:37раза рукой Берии, связанные с укреплением мира и безопасности между нашими странами.
00:49:42Группом фюрер SS Гейдрих.
00:49:58This document was smuggled out of the presidential archive in Moscow by one of its workers.
00:50:05It was shown on Russian television.
00:50:07Later, this footage disappeared from the TV archive.
00:50:11Do you want to read what it is inside?
00:50:13I'll show you right now.
00:50:15Let's talk about it.
00:50:16Because this country should know, because it's a genocide.
00:50:1920 million lives have been given for...
00:50:22Unlike the official Kremlin, the former Soviet officials who had access to the Central Committee, now presidential, archive, affirm the
00:50:31existence of such an agreement.
00:50:34Vladimir Karpov, former military intelligence colonel, two times hero of the Soviet Union, member of the Central Committee, the top
00:50:42Soviet leadership council.
00:50:45Convoys bringing in the entire Politburo and party bosses from every corner of the country.
00:50:50This man, Vladimir Karpov, said that so many problems had now mounted up, that the way things were run hadn't
00:50:57to be changed.
00:50:59We spoke with Mr. Karpov in his Moscow apartment in Kuduzovsky Prospect 26, the house of the former KGB chief
00:51:07Andropov and the Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev.
00:51:10There was a secret agreement between KGB and NKVD, which was called NKVD, and Gestapo, about cooperation.
00:51:23They also were convicted, that it was a lie and that we could not be able to do it.
00:51:29We are internationalists, we could not be able to do it.
00:51:59But Moscow does not accept it. It does not accept it.
00:52:03The criminal nature of the Soviet regime. Any documents revealing it are usually declared fake, like the secret protocol dividing
00:52:12Europe.
00:52:14Interestingly, in this case, the Kremlin's denial is supported by one Western historian, David Irving, more famous for his denial
00:52:23of the Holocaust.
00:52:24But why would he deny the authenticity of this agreement? We can only guess.
00:52:30This is a quote from the document.
00:52:33The NKVD authorities have the obligation to propose to the Soviet government a program to remove the Jewish nationality from
00:52:40the government.
00:52:41And the prohibition to use the Jewish people who had married with Jews in the culture and education.
00:52:47The NKVD authorities have the
00:53:12the highest level. The former defense minister of Russia, Igor Radyonov.
00:53:31Radyonov is just one of many in Russia today who believe that helping Hitler to fight Jews
00:53:36in the 1930s was actually a noble fight against fascism, Jewish fascism as it is now called in Russia.
00:53:46In 1939 Stalin sacked his long-time foreign minister Litvinov.
00:53:53The fact is that Litvinov was, on the basis of his Jewish nationality,
00:53:59extremely suitable for signing any pact with Germany.
00:54:04And Litvinov was removed, the Soviet foreign ministry was surrounded by NKVD troops, tanks,
00:54:13and Stalin gave the order to clear out the synagogue, which is not a very nice thing to say.
00:54:23You would expect this from Hitler, but Stalin equally was capable of such prejudice.
00:54:37The exiled communist leader, Lev Trotsky, warned the world about Stalin's anti-Semitism
00:54:43and about the fact that Stalin and Hitler were colluding.
00:54:48Stalin's police, the gay people, has fallen to the level of the Nazi Gestapo.
00:54:54His outspokenness was becoming dangerous to the Kremlin.
00:54:59Trotsky was aware that his every speech could be the last.
00:55:02He knew that Stalin was after him.
00:55:05But even in his worst dreams, he could not imagine that his death will be so agonizing.
00:55:15Stalin sent a secret agent to Mexico.
00:55:17He glided into Trotsky's house and smashed him in the head with an alpine axe.
00:55:23Trotsky fought for his life for two days and then died in horrible pain.
00:55:30In Stalin's time, critics of the Kremlin were not argued with.
00:55:35They were killed.
00:55:50The Soviet Union, like Nazi Germany, did not just commit criminal acts.
00:55:56It was a criminal enterprise in its very essence.
00:56:00To become a member of Stalin's Politburo, one had to take responsibility for murder.
00:56:06To be trusted.
00:56:08Like in a criminal gang.
00:56:11Stalin rarely signed execution orders alone.
00:56:14The other Politburo members also had to put their signatures on the death lists.
00:56:21Even those who later condemned Stalin were responsible for mass murder themselves.
00:56:28Comrades were united by common crimes.
00:56:32There was no way back for them.
00:56:35But to commit new crimes.
00:56:44In March 1940, in a forest near Katyn village, eight huge pits were dug.
00:56:51Heavy trucks brought in people.
00:56:54They were Polish army reservists, doctors, engineers, teachers.
00:56:59They were ordered to get out.
00:57:01No one was supposed to see what happened next.
00:57:04But the noise of trucks deep in the forest seemed unusual to the forester.
00:57:11He was locked in for 25 years, incommunicado, under false name.
00:57:17They could have killed him, for some reason they didn't.
00:57:20I don't know why.
00:57:22So they just kept him in jail.
00:57:24And that's very well known, documented fact.
00:57:26What did he see?
00:57:29He saw Encovade shooting them.
00:57:31A big hole.
00:57:33And Encovade shooting through the back of the neck.
00:57:37Each of them, the people were tied up, with hands behind, on their knees,
00:57:41on the edge of that hole.
00:57:44Shot and kicked into the hole.
00:57:55The police department of the CK and the CKPB decided to kill all these armed officers in the three special
00:58:04camps.
00:58:15The Katyn massacre was the first mass execution of this scale in World War II.
00:58:22nazis will follow suit only later mass murder in katin unleashed the industrial killing which
00:58:30will soon turn world war ii into the most bloody carnage in human history

01:00:05the entire western world has lived for 60 years on the assumption that all crimes were
01:00:11nazi crimes and it's very difficult to change it whether europe will ever come to terms with this
01:00:25criminal part of its past is difficult to know mass killing is mass killing

01:01:40so
01:02:06the
01:02:08World War II left more than 27 million Soviet citizens dead.
01:02:14The Communist Party always tried to decrease that number.
01:02:19Why? Because only a fraction of them were killed by the Germans.
01:02:24You have to remember that when the Red Army marched,
01:02:29behind the Red Army was a second army, the NKVD Army,
01:02:33which had its own tanks, its own machine guns and so on,
01:02:36firing forward so that nobody could move back.
01:02:45Viktor Baturin, chairman of the Russian Military History Association,
01:02:50tells the shocking story of how, after major battles,
01:02:54special Soviet units raided battlefields
01:02:57and tore the dog tags off the dead Soviet soldiers
01:03:00to make them unidentifiable.
01:03:03No other country in the world has treated its war dead in this way.
01:03:12Due to the appalling policies of the Soviet authorities,
01:03:16more than a million Soviet citizens joined the Nazi side.
01:03:35They were turned against their own people.
01:03:38Those who refused were ruthlessly dealt with by the Nazi collaborators.
01:03:56The great patriotic war was drawing to the close.
01:04:02Stalin was at the height of his glory.
01:04:05He knew quite well that nobody would ever judge the vanquisher of Hitler.
01:04:09So, at the end of the war,
01:04:11he carried out some of his most horrible crimes.
01:04:19Stalin exiled about a dozen of nations, completely,
01:04:23part and parcel, young and old,
01:04:26women and men,
01:04:27even members of a communist party among them.
01:04:30They were all exiled to Central Asia,
01:04:32to Kazakhstan,
01:04:33Chechens,
01:04:34Ingush,
01:04:35Kalmyks,
01:04:36Karachaevs,
01:04:38Crimean and Tartars,
01:04:39a dozen of nations,
01:04:41completely wiped out.
01:04:42The Soviet deportations,
01:04:45although on a much bigger scale,
01:04:47were similar to deportations by the SS.
01:04:51The descriptions are just horrific.
01:04:5560, 70 people in a closed cattle truck,
01:04:59with no sanitary provisions,
01:05:02just a hole in the floor,
01:05:04packed so tightly that they had to stand up,
01:05:07they couldn't sit down.
01:05:09And when the train stopped,
01:05:10they would unload hundreds of corpses of people who died on the way.
01:05:15In common,
01:05:19Un tā,
01:05:22Vilkām,

01:05:43gribti everyday.
01:05:44prearrileri,
01:05:45I don't think that they are apsiet, but they are private.
01:05:49We are already at the same time.
01:05:54And then one of the children's children's children,
01:05:58and then I don't think about it,
01:06:00how much was it?
01:06:01Half or half were it?
01:06:03Then I was at the same time,
01:06:05and then I was at the same time,
01:06:07and then I was at the same time.
01:06:09That was a good time.
01:06:10I was at the same time,
01:06:12and then I was at the same time.
01:07:01In May 1945, the Allies defeated Hitler.
01:07:06This horrible film footage was shown in the West.
01:07:10A Nazi concentration camp after liberation.
01:07:14But only a few understood what they were actually seeing.
01:07:19The site was being cleared for new inmates.
01:07:23The Soviets did not destroy the Nazi camps.
01:07:27They continued to use them after the war.
01:07:30The agreement which Stalin made with the West
01:07:35affected the whole of Europe for the next 50 years.
01:07:38So, although you can say the crimes are of the same order,
01:07:44the political outcome at the end of the Second World War
01:07:47quite clearly was very different for those two dictatorships.
01:07:51And it was also very different for the people of Western and Eastern Europe.
01:07:55The Soviet Union transferred a lot of ethnic Russians into the occupied Baltic countries.
01:08:03It was a clear violation of the Geneva Convention,
01:08:07which forbids the transfer of civilians into the occupied countries.
01:08:12For example, in 1945, it was a case of my grandparents' family,
01:08:19which were forced by Soviet officers at the gunpoint, out of their apartments.
01:08:29Afterwards, the Soviet officers settled there with their families.
01:08:35The Kremlin strategically orchestrated ethnic cleansing in the Baltics,
01:08:40so that the Russian settlers became a majority in all the largest Baltic cities.
01:08:45the British, Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians were loaded onto cattle trucks and deported to Siberia.
01:08:54The tiny Baltic nations were brought to the brink of extinction.
01:09:03Deportations, executions and torture became the post-war reality for millions of people.
01:09:09Concentration camps were scattered throughout both Europe and Siberia.
01:09:15In many of them, horrific medical experiments were performed on humans.
01:09:19In Bhutugichag camp in Magadan,
01:09:23the KGB used thousands of prisoners as guinea pigs,
01:09:26experimenting with the human brain.
01:09:29Many of these prisoners were still alive during the experiments.
01:09:42All of this happened after Nazism was defeated and memorials made to its victims.
01:09:48The victims of the Soviet death camps were buried in numbered graves.
01:09:54There is no memorial here.
01:09:57Just a pile of the shoes of murdered victims.
01:10:02Children's shoes among them.
01:10:12Feeling complete impunity, the post-war KGB terrorized the population,
01:10:17letting them, letting loose their most beastly instincts.
01:10:24The people of the world were buried in the mountains.
01:10:25We were out of the mountains,
01:10:26and there was a big tree on the mountains.
01:10:31There was a large tree on the mountains.
01:10:35The trees were buried in the mountains,
01:10:40and we were buried in the mountains.
01:10:41We were buried in the mountains,
01:10:42because this was our life.
01:10:50It's hard to tell me that I can't tell you.
01:10:54I can't tell you that I can't tell you that.
01:11:29This was drawn by a KGB prison guard, who had served for 33 years in the Soviet interior system.
01:11:36He was depicting his routine, everyday life.
01:11:50Who were these men? Who were doing these atrocities?
01:11:56Meet one of them, the notorious Janis Zinters.
01:12:01A KGB interrogator in the Soviet-occupied Latvia, he was particularly famous for his brutality towards women.
01:12:09The victims' testimonies paint an horrific picture of his interrogations.
01:12:15Female victims were beaten and tortured by several KGB officers continuously for 20 hours.
01:12:22Not everyone could endure it.
01:12:26The wife of Ernest Waltman, Veronika, was beaten and tortured by Zinters and his drunk colleagues for four days.
01:12:34She finally committed suicide by hanging herself in the prison cell.
01:12:53When the Soviet Union collapsed, Zinters fled to Russia.
01:12:57The Kremlin refuses to extradite him, calling him an honorable veteran.
01:13:04With the hands of these KGB veterans, the Soviet Union terrorized and tortured innocent people.
01:13:12They were the ones who guarded death camps, where millions were exterminated and thousands used in horrific medical experiments.
01:13:21Many of these death camp veterans are still alive.
01:13:25Unlike their SS colleagues, they are proud of what they did.
01:13:30They are proud of the Soviet Union, which let them do it.
01:13:37First of all, I have to admit that the destruction of the Soviet Union was the biggest geopolitical catastrophe of
01:13:45the century.
01:13:46The biggest geopolitical catastrophe of the century.
01:13:58I think that Russia, as a successor of the Soviet Union, is obliged to carry out a real investigation of
01:14:14all the crimes and the character of their system.
01:14:17And I think up to now, they are not ready and not able to do it.
01:14:23Under Gorbachev and Yeltsin, the crimes of the Soviet Union were at least not advertised.
01:14:29Under President Putin, we see a very different approach.
01:14:33The idea that Russia continues, in a sense, in the footsteps of the Soviet Union and any attack on the
01:14:42Soviet Union is an attack on modern Russia.
01:14:48The Russian identity has been shaped up by the sense of being part of a big empire.
01:14:57When they lost the empire, they couldn't remain the same.
01:15:02And this damage, the national punishment, what was in Germany after the First World War, and we, after the invasion
01:15:10of the Soviet Union,
01:15:11it is a huge fuel source for these new Nazis.
01:15:18It is precisely what gave the influence in Germany to fascism.
01:15:25Russia, forward!
01:15:28Russia, вперед! Russia, вперед!
01:15:35So, during the arrival of Putin to the power of the government, almost from the end of the 90s,
01:15:39with the beginning of the Second World War II,
01:15:41there was a mass of xenophobic propaganda above.
01:15:49And people, in general, have a lot of hatred to people,
01:15:53people of different languages, different faiths, different countries.
01:15:58The former Russian Defense Minister, Radionov, again.
01:16:02Almost all Russian people work against the people of Russia,
01:16:08because they are in the hands of the Jewish mafia.
01:16:13And the next speaker is Mr Rogozin of Russia.
01:16:17Mr Rogozin, you have the floor.
01:16:19I work at the Federal Assembly of Russia.
01:16:21Mr Rogozin led the Russian delegation in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe,
01:16:26where he repeatedly voiced his concern about the rebirth of fascism in Europe.
01:16:32At home, his agenda was a little different.
01:16:35The pre-election clip of his party.
01:16:43We went here.
01:17:02Let's rid Moscow of trash.
01:17:14Let's rid Moscow of trash.
01:17:17I would like to welcome all the national patriots in Russia.
01:17:23Thank you, Russia.
01:17:29The Nazi salute in the Parliament of Russia.
01:17:33If you think it can't go any further, you would be wrong.
01:17:54This shocking video is one of hundreds published on the website of the Russian National Socialists.
01:18:00When it made it to the front pages of the world media,
01:18:03the Russian authorities finally closed the Nazi site,
01:18:07declaring it American provocation.
01:18:12The whole thing was turned into farce,
01:18:15questioning the genuineness of the video.
01:18:18Unfortunately, the murders captured on these videos turn out to be genuine.
01:18:24Hundreds of them, every year, all over Russia.
01:18:30And the grief of the loved ones is also unspeakably genuine.
01:18:37Turning human tragedy into a farce has become a norm in Russia.
01:18:43Ridiculing the Ukrainian famine or the Jewish Holocaust is the norm.
01:18:48Because killing can be justified, especially if it cleanses society.
01:19:09The killers become heroes.
01:19:11Mass murderers are decorated veterans.
01:19:14Young people are taught that the crimes these people have committed against humanity
01:19:18are heroic deeds.
01:19:21It is no surprise that these crimes are replicated.
01:19:25Our usa's death !
01:19:30a
01:19:34both
01:19:56Europe now has the opportunity to condemn these crimes and to demand the extradition
01:20:02of those who committed them. Yet Europe hesitates. Why?
01:20:10One knows what Europe, how we depend on, so Russian gas, petrol, so I think it's a political
01:20:22not. Well, we know exactly why Europe doesn't, well, cannot oppose Russia on so many issues.
01:20:38Unfortunately, Europe continues to ignore Soviet crimes, mass murders, while millions of the victims are neglected by Europe.
01:20:52There is an equal right for all the victims to see those who committed crimes, to see them tried and
01:21:00sentenced.
01:21:02But this is not how the world works. For example, in the case of Katyn, it's now known very well
01:21:14the names and addresses of many of the Soviet officers who perpetrated those crimes,
01:21:22who shot people in cold blood. Yet if there was ever an investigation, those murderers should come to Great Britain
01:21:32because they'll be safe, because in this country it's not regarded as a war crime.
01:21:47And the other Soviet crimes are not regarded as crimes either. Their victims are quietly passing away, receiving no comfort,
01:21:58no justice. In the European Union that is reserved for other victims.
01:22:07Looking at this grey monument in the very centre of Europe, one can't help thinking that it stands here because
01:22:13deep in their hearts, many Europeans still believe in what these two men so persistently maintained.
01:22:19That when inferior nations are being killed, it cannot be seen as a crime, because it makes way for the
01:22:27more advanced nations to build a better life.
01:22:33While this idea is alive, and while the spectre of these two men is haunting Europe, it will be very
01:22:40hard for its various nations to be truly united.
