Seems that the- supposedly serious- 'The Economist' magazine is not that well-informed about Lenin. The bourgeois magazine, famous for its neoliberal views and its support of the Afghanistan and Iraq imperialist massacres, decided to express its blatant anticommunism with a tweet about Vladimir Lenin. On the occasion of Lenin's 146th birth anniversary, the british magazine published the following tweet:

"The Red Army liberated Rzeszow, that is a fact"- Polish city refuses to demolish Soviet-era monument
Citizens of Rzeszow greeting soldiers of the Red Army, 1940s. |
Even in today's Poland- an EU and NATO member- there are signs of resistance to the anti-communist hysteria. The distortion of History and the intentional effort for the equation of Communism with Nazism must not- and will not- pass (IDC).

The city of Rzeszow, close to Poland’s border with Ukraine, has ignored calls to remove a Soviet-era monument celebrating the liberation of the city from the Nazis. Last month, Poland’s historical legacy institute urged the immediate removal of 500 such memorials across the country.
The monument was erected in 1950, and expresses “gratitude” to the Red Army for its actions.

The Real Story of the Katyn Massacre- Exposing an anticommunist fabrication
PREFACE
One
of anti-communists' favorite fairy-tales is the so-called 'Katyn
Massacre'. According to Neo-Nazis, fascists, liberals, trotskyites,
opportunist leftists, anarchists and other anti-communists, the
Soviet NKVD (People's Commissariat
for Internal Affairs), under Stalin's orders, carried out mass
executions of Polish nationals in April and May 1940. Even Wikipedia
(the very popular but completely unreliable source) says it!
Despite the fact that there is strong, undisputed evidence that the
crime was carried out by the Nazis, this anti-communist myth
continues to exist. The post-1991 bourgeois-capitalist establishment
of Russia, under Yeltsin but also under current President Putin, has
done everything in order to blame the Soviet Union. They even
fabricated letters- supposedly sent from Lavrentiy Beria- in order to
defame Stalin and the then Soviet leadership. In this post, we
collect and present some interesting information, including
historical documents, which prove that the 'Katyn Massacre” was a
crime committed by the Nazis and not by the Soviets. The pity
propaganda against Socialism, against the Soviet Union must be
exposed in every possible way.

KKE: Condemnation of the recent anti-communist persecution in Poland

The KKE delegation in the European Parliament tabled the following question in relation to the recent anti-communist persecution in Poland:
"recently members and cadres of the CP of Poland were convicted by the regional court of Dąbrowa Górnicza to prison sentences of up to 9 months, many months of "limited freedom" and compulsory social work and also fines, because the dissemination of their ideas through the newspaper "Brzask" and the website www.kompol.org is considered to be an "offense" and a "crime".The court in order to convict them, following the anticommunist positions of the Polish authorities, utilized rotten and groundless accusations regarding "the public promotion of a totalitarian system". This is part of their attempt to cancel and slander the gains of the workers under socialism, the right to work, labour and social rights. The Polish authorities have for some years provocatively banned the communist symbols and now convict the communists, invoking "democratic values".

How many people did Joseph Stalin really kill?
Source: anti-imperialism.com.
When
discussing the merits and achievements of the Soviet Union,
detractors of various stripes, from anti-communist to anti-Leninist,
often point to a 2013 International Business Times article named “How
Many People Did Joseph Stalin Kill?” by Palash Ghosh. The article, which depicts Soviet leader J. V. Stalin
as an inhuman cold-blooded mass murderer, claims that up to 60
million people, nearly one-third of the USSR’s 1941 population,
were killed on the part of the government and the leadership of the
country.[1][2] But do these figures actually hold up? Through a
careful read of the article, one can find glaring problems with the
logic and the conclusion and deduce that the article is not much more
than crude propaganda.
The
article, having been published on the 60th anniversary of Stalin’s
death, introduces Stalin as “one of history’s most prolific
killers”, proceeding to list various events as atrocities. Included
in the list are “imprisonment in labor camps”, “manufactured
famines” and “forced displacements”, all of which are implied
to be inherently atrocious like the other items listed. While these
are indeed atrocious events, this should raise the question of
hypocrisy, as a neo-liberal news publication lists these events with
the intention of portraying a socialist leader as a “prolific
killer” when historically they have happened on a number of
occasions in the imperialist states and their semi-feudal colonies à
la the American internment of Japanese and Germans in World War II,
the systematic depopulation of indigenous lands by the US government,
and the number of famines in British India in the 19th and 20th
centuries. One might in response concede that the USSR was by no
means alone if it is responsible for such atrocities,
but,nevertheless,
the actions of other nations does not absolve the Soviet Union. This
is true. Therefore, we move on to see Ghosh’s backing for the
assertion of Stalin as a mass murderer.

KKE: Condemnation of anti-democratic actions by the authorities in Kazakhstan and Latvia
Regarding the imprisonment of Vadim Kuramshin:
Vadim Kuramshin. |
The Delegation of the KKE in the European Parliament, tabled a question to the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy is relation to the persecution in Kazakhstan. The question noted that:
Vadim Kuramshin has been in prison in Kazakhstan for the last 4 years since 2012, when he was condemned to 12 years imprisonment on false and fabricated charges. In reality, he was imprisoned for his activity against the violation of democratic rights and gains by the Kazakhstan regime. It was no accident that his arrest and imprisonment happened immediately after his participation in a OSCE event in Warsaw, where he talked about instances of torture in the prisons of Kazakhstan.
He himself has made accusations that he has been the victim of inhuman treatment in Kazakhstan's prisons.
The current bourgeois regime that emerged in Kazakhstan after the overthrow of socialism and the dissolution of the USSR is constantly showing its anti-democratic and anti-people character, violently and murderously suppressing labour struggles, banning the activity of the CP of Kazakhstan, imposing new anti-democratic laws to control and more strictly manipulate the trade unions and to reduce labour rights and gains, imprisoning defenders of democratic rights.

Anti-communist hysteria reloaded: Polish authorities to take down 500 Soviet-Era monuments
Do the Polish authorities follow the pathway of the neo-fascist regime of Ukraine? Do they really think they can erase history just by taking down soviet monuments? Is it simply another episode of anti-communist hysteria?
This Red Army Memorial, in Skaryszewski Park in Warsaw, was removed by Polish officials in July. (Photo: masti/WikiCommons CC BY-SA 3.0). |
The above questions came into mind when we read the following in atlasobscura:
For months, Poland has embarked on a campaign to remove hundreds of Soviet-era monuments, much to the chagrin of Russia, who can do little more than sit on the sidelines and watch.

The 1956 counter-revolution in Hungary and the present-day anti-Communist Propaganda
The 1956 counter-revolution in Hungary and the present-day anti-Communist Propaganda
Source: International Communist Review, Issue 2, 2014.
In the years of 1989-90 a bourgeois counter-revolution took place in Hungary. Opportunist and revisionist forces inside the leadership of the former Hungarian Socialist Workers’ Party (HSWP) made a bargain with capitalist circles of the USA and Germany and handed over the power to internal bourgeois counter-revolitionary forces. The Marxist wing inside the HSWP proved unable to defend the achievements of socialism. Later those who surrendered the socialism reorganised themselves into the Hungarian Socialist Party and joined the political system of capitalist Hungary. Neither can we neglect the role of the opportunist policy of the former leadership of the Soviet Union, that betrayed socialism.
The bourgeois forces which gained power in 1990 consider the 1956 their historical ideal. On this ideal is based the whole political and ideological system of capitalist Hungary. It also constitutes the main means of the present-day anti-communist propaganda.
