During the last years the anti-communist distortion of history in the Baltic countries has become an official policy. The EU and the USA support the attempt to historically rehabilitate and vindicate the fascists in the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania), as well as in Ukraine, who during the 2nd World War aligned with the Nazis. They have labeled them “militants for democracy” because they fought against the heroic Red Army and the Soviet Union.

Nikos Kazantzakis writes about the Soviet Union
Nikos Kazantzakis (Heraklion, 1883 - 1957, Freiburg) |
Nikos Kazantzakis*.
1. This world, the post-war one, where we are living in, is so rotten, immoral and unworthy of even a moderate man, that every attempt to break it down seems- and is- sacred.
That is why today all honest people, all those who set justice, freedom and light as goals of the social life, regard the demolition of the rotten, dishonored, old foolish world as their first duty.
2. The second duty, the positive one, of every honest man today is: the effort to create a better world, where what call light or God or rise will be dominate.
This effort, the heroic one, the martyred one, has been taken and realized- this is her terrific historical mission- by Soviet Russia. This is today the creative turbine, the rotating sparkling nebula, which is constantly shaping and condensing and creating- this is now the only hope of the people- the new, better world.

On February 2 75 years will have passed since the end of the Battle of Stalingrad, with the complete victory of the forces of the Red Army and the crushing of the Nazi armies, something that constituted the beginning of the radical change of tide in the war in favour of the USSR and more generally laid the foundations for the Anti-fascist Victory of the Peoples.

Kemal Okuyan- Don’t you understand the difference between patriotism and nationalism?
Kemal Okuyan, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP) and soL columnist, wrote an article on January 30 regarding the differences between patriotism and nationalism with reference to a famous patriotic Soviet song, 'Song of the Motherland', some lyrics of which were removed after the collapse of the Soviet Union in order to ignore the song's references to the equality of all people under socialism.
Don’t you understand the difference between patriotism and nationalism?
It was 1936. Racism and fascism were rising in Europe. Italy, Germany and Austria surrendered. The fascists declared a "holy war" against the republicans in Spain. Nationalism was polluting everywhere. Discrimination against the black people reached the highest level.

Roza Shanina- The Soviet Army's sniper who became the nightmare of the Nazis
Roza Shanina, In Memoriam.
Ро́за Гео́ргиевна Ша́нина
1924 - 1945.
It was January 28, 1945 when the heroic senior sergeant of the Soviet Red Army, Roza Shanina, died after being seriously wounded in combat. She was 20 years old and already a legendary fighter of the Soviet Army against the Nazis.

In 1941, after the Soviet Union introduced tuition fees for college courses, she took on a job at a kindergarten in Arkhangelsk to help her own finances.

“Gulag Archipelago”: Exposing the anticommunist fabrications of Solzhenitsyn
By Nikos Mottas*.
One
of the most famous and celebrated works of Alexandr Solzhenitsyn, the
“Gulag Archipelago”, has been for a long time a kind of “holy
bible” for every anticommunist. Firstly published in 1973, it-
supposedly- consists an analytical record of the conditions existed
in the so-called “labour camps” of the Soviet Union. Within the
framework of the slanderous anticommunist campaign, bourgeois
historiography has extensively promoted Solzhenitsyn's work as a
source of arguments about the so-called “Stalinist dictatorship”
and “communist crimes” in the Soviet Union.
However,
there is a fundamental problem in the work of the deeply reactionary
Solzhenitsyn: Gulag Archipelago is a completely antiscientific book,
based almost entirely in rumors, speculations, third party opinions
as well as interpretations of opinions by Solzenitsyn himself! In
other words, the reader of this book becomes “hostage” of a novel
type, unverifiable, recording to alleged events by Solzenitsyn and
others who supposedly “saw”, “heard” or “learned”
something.

When Donald Trump Falsifies History
A response to U.S. President Trump's blatant falsification of historical events.
By Nikos Mottas.
Donald Trump seems to have his own version of history. A version that falsifies completely the real historical events. The tycoon- turned President of the USA- decided to demonstrate his ignorance (or, perhaps, ability to distort history) during a Republican Party's rally in Pensacola, Florida on December 8th.
What did Trump say? Among others, the U.S. President said the following: “We are the nation that dug out the Panama Canal, won two world wars, put a man on the moon and brought communism to its knees".

Russian Communist Workers Party (RCWP): Life itself has proved the correctness of Marxism’s founders
Contribution by the Russian Communist Workers Party at the 19th International Meeting of Communist and Workers Parties that took place in Leningrad (St Petersburg), 2-4 November 2017.
By Viktor Tyulkin.
1st-Secretary of Russian Communist Workers Party Central Committee.
Dear comrades, let me greet all participants of the meeting!
27 years ago (in April 1990) I gave a speech at the conference of Leningrad CPSU organization that was to discuss the list of delegates to be sent to the XXVIII Congress of CPSU. Exactly then there took place the division between market oriented supporters of Gorbachev and orthodox communists. This division is still present in Russian Federation and manifests itself as the existence of two parties: CPRF and RCWP and the struggle between these two parties.

Communist Party of Italy - Contribution to the scientific conference in honor of the 100 years since the October Revolution
Communist Party of Italy.
Leningrad, August 10-13, 2017.
A hundred years ago scientific socialism became reality. Until then, Marxism had only been theorized within the First International and applied to the class struggle in conditions of bourgeois domination; after that, it became reality for a short while, during the Paris Commune, showing that the proletarian revolution was not only possible, but even necessary. With the October Revolution, Marxism is applied to building Socialism, as the first step in the construction of the Communist society.

Trotsky’s Lies - What They Are, and What They Mean
Trotsky’s Lies - What They Are, and What They Mean
By Grover Furr*.
The personality and the writings of Leon Trotsky have long been a rallying point for
anticommunists throughout the world. But during the 1930s Trotsky deliberately lied in
his writings about Joseph Stalin and the Soviet Union. My new book, Trotsky’s
‘Amalgams’, discusses some of Trotsky’s lies that have fooled people, and demoralized
honest communists, for decades.
In January 1980 the Trotsky Archive at Harvard University was opened to researchers.
Within a few days Pierre Broué, the foremost Trotskyist historian of his time, discovered
that Trotsky had lied.
Trotsky had always denied that any clandestine “bloc of oppositionists” including
Trotskyists, existed in the Soviet Union. Trotsky called this an “amalgam,” meaning a
fabrication by Stalin. This “bloc” was the main focus of the second and third Moscow
Trials of January 1937 and March 1938. Broué showed, from letters in the Trotsky
Archive by Trotsky and by his son Leon Sedov, that the bloc did exist.

USSR 1991 – History did not end with the counterrevolution; Socialism is timely and necessary
It
was December 26, 1991 – 25 years ago- when the red flag with the
sickle and hammer was lowered from the Moscow Kremlin. It was then,
during the cold days of December, when the first socialist state of
the world, the homeland of the world's proletariat, bent under the
weight of the counterrevolution. Four days before, on December 22nd,
the leaderships of three of the largest Soviet republics had decided
the dissolution of the USSR, while the Communist Party of the Soviet
Union had been outlawed on summer of the same year.
The
events of December 1991 sealed the victory of the counterrevolution,
as the result of a process which officially began in 1985 with the
Perestroika and reached its peak in 1989 with the overthrow of
Socialism. Of course, the roots of the counterrevolution can be
traced back in a series of revisionist-opportunist decisions taken at
the CPSU's 20th Congress back in 1956.
