The program “Replica” on the channel “Russia 24” was at the time, so interesting and intelligent that in the end the former head of the Russian state TV, is still occupying there some kind of honorary, but non-critical post, and a very solid Cabinet, Nikolai Karlovich Svanidze – decided to dilute his presence and from time to time appears on the screen pouring out streams of liberalism.
Here and in the transfer of October 5, he chose quite a serious reason, namely: semidesyatiletiya mass execution of Kiev Jews at Babi Yar. To his credit, mainly the facts of the shooting he had studied quite honestly, even mentioned that it was attended by Germans recruited by the police of the Galician Nazis and Ukrainian separatists. It is, of course, put it somewhat differently, but we need to remember that the Ukrainian nationalists, and even more Ukrainian Nazis do not exist because does not exist because there is no Ukrainian nation — this is just one of the many colorful branches of the Russian people, accordingly we are talking about racism, about the attempted secession of part of a single nation.
Well, and then began quite familiar liberalism Interaural ganglion. For starters, Nikolai Karlovich povozmuschalis the fact that the monument at Babi Yar was established only after in 1962, Yevtushenko was amazed by the fact that the monument is not present, and have written about this long poem “Babi Yar”. In addition, it is reported that the famous writer Viktor Nekrasov tried to protest against the fact that Babi Yar would fall asleep and turn t there in the building, or is in the dump, and said that Nekrasov has received a lot of trouble. Yes, of course, from the current point of view, it sounds scary, but we must not forget that in fact until the late 60-ies of the housing crisis in Kiev was a little less acute than in Moscow, a significant portion of big houses were destroyed during the war and rebuilt, in Kiev was a huge private sector, campostrini forces of tenants and this was a one-story wreck that were parked God knows where and God knows how in such conditions as it may sounds scary now the needs of the living was for the authorities of the city a priority over the perpetuation of the memory of the dead. So I, being somewhat familiar with the tension on the part of the property at the time, you know what I thought of the Kiev authorities.
Also Nikolai Karlovich surprised that in Soviet times the monument just talked about executed Soviet citizens, without mentioning their nationality. Incidentally he himself just a few minutes earlier in the other replica reports that the first at Babi Yar shot patients located near a psychiatric hospital — it is quite clear that these patients definitely belonged to different nationalities. At Babi Yar were shot not only Jews — are very much convenient was the venue for this crime, so they killed many, killed even more Ukrainian Nazis, not converging with the German Nazis views on the future of the country (such was, in my opinion, ten to twenty men), not counting the 10 thousand buried in Babi Yar, it is the local Nazis and separatists. So even from a purely formal point of view the inscription on the monument perfectly fair — there really shot Soviet citizens — and not only because they were Jews.
Nikolay Karlovich believes it is one of the manifestations of Soviet anti-Semitism, which began almost immediately after the war. And he cites two examples of this anti-Semitism. Namely: the murder of the great actor and major public figure of Solomon Vovsi Karlovic, who worked under the stage name Mikhoels. The case of the Jewish anti-fascist Committee, which was headed by the most Mikhoels, and the deportation of Soviet Jews, have not been implemented only due to the sudden death of the bloody tyrant.
So, the Jewish antifascist Committee, was really, really significant part of its members was shot, but judging from the surviving materials of the case, it was caused primarily by the fact that the Committee members perceived themselves as a kind of Ministry of Jewish Affairs and began using its authority to intervene in the case, generally closed to public associations, and if they in something were denied, they appealed to Western public opinion. Given that it was in the late 40-ies, when he developed full-blown cold war, it is clear that it was ultimately seen as aiding the enemy. By the way, the war was not only cold. For example, 50 to 53 the year was fighting in Korea, where troops of the United States of America and several of their accomplices acted in the ground forces of the people’s Republic of China and Military-air forces of the USSR — that is, the war was quite serious. And that means aiding the enemy in war, not knows is that Nikolai Karlovich Svanidze.
With regard to the murder of Mikhoels, judging by discovered relatively recently to the autopsy, Mikhoels and the accompanying officer of the Committee for iustv (can’t remember his name), most likely, was in a plain crash when the distinguished guests drove from the country of the head of Ministry of state security of Belarus to the hotel. But since the car was most likely working, employees of state security decided to spare his colleague who was driving, and tried to portray the incident as hitting an unidentified truck on the guests returning to the hotel on foot. So, the nature of the injuries described in the autopsy report, matches is not the hitting, but the hitting car with people on an obstacle. And if it wasn’t so politicized, it would have long since revised and reclassified from murder to an accident.
And talk about the deportation of Soviet Jews are generally ashamed. I especially ashamed, because I am literally a child believed that such a deportation was planned. But at the turn of the Millennium, the Russian historian Gennady Kostyrchenko published in spotless Jewish Moscow magazine “Lechaim” (the magazine of one of the Moscow Jewish community) article, where based on his archival research was forced to admit that no plan of deportation was not. No. And it was here that the historian has studied in the archives of the Ministry of Railways of the huge amount of surviving documentation on the preparation and conduct of all Soviet deportations. It turned out that the preparations for the mass deportation began several months before the event, because it is necessary to provide in a railway timetable of the window in advance to prepare the feed to place the required number of rolling stock in advance to bring the key stations along the route of food supplies, medicines, doctors with the right skills to provide adequate food and medical care — otherwise just deportees die on the road, and the Ministry of Railways will have to answer for not drove to the place. And here all this preparatory work remained in their archive mountains of documents. And in early ‘ 53, when according to legend it was planned deportation of Jews, not only was there no document on the preparation of the Railways to this action. If I just didn’t have the documents, we could say that the bloody gebnya ate it all to no trace left, but left a mountain of documents about daily work of Railways, about the everyday planning of this work. And it is clear that if preparations were deported, there would not be such casual planning, but it would be completely different. And documents daily planning so that absolutely no counterfeiters would in such a quantity to produce. Now, since this article was published, and it was already about 15 years ago, is simply embarrassed to tell about the impending deportation of Soviet Jews. I certainly do not rule out that Nikolai Karlovich carefully not reading any new publications on this topic, but then why is he with the screen in General seems to be a historian?
But most importantly, because of what I drew General attention to it — the main thing is that the replica is built very delicately. Since the conviction of the German Nazis and Ukrainian separatists, Svanidze creates in the listener the feeling that on the background of the crimes of the Communists and all those already convicted political criminals just the innocent children, and although it is unfortunate that in the fight against communism they did so many outrages, but still on the background of communism is petty and wrong, but to destroy the Communists had. And here the feeling is that for the sake of this conclusion, he began to tell about the crime.
Knowing other participants in the column “Remark” on the channel “Rossiya24” I’m sure they would have told about these events in an entirely different tone and with completely different conclusions. Therefore, it remains for me only to regret that RTR is still acting in the spirit of the magazine “Ogonek” of the perestroika era, for whom the main enemy is communism, and all who are against communism are doubtless friends.
