THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF KOREA (DPRK)

September 9, 1948 - National Foundation Day of the DPRK.
3 September 2003 - Re-election of Kim Jong Il to the chairmanship of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK
September 22, 1949 - Kim Jong Suk died - heroine of the anti-Japanese struggle, wife of the Great Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung, mother of Kim Jong Il. (Born December 24, 1917.)


Today, the DPRK (North Korea) celebrates the 62 - anniversary of its foundation by the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung. The people of the DPRK call their country "Kim Il Sung Korea."
The history of socialist Korea is a story of constant struggle for independence and an independent course of development, for social and economic progress. This is a grand story of creation, which began from zero, from the day of national liberation on August 15, 1945, and reached at this time, the heights of civilization, culture, education, high-capacity in the economy, science and defence deterrence, achieved in extremely difficult conditions of constant confrontation with the aggressive imperialist world led by the United States. The history of the DPRK is a history of building a socialist state relying only on its own strength, which makes a special tribute to the heroic labour of the people of the DPRK and its leaders - Comrade Kim Il Sung and Comrade Kim Jong Il. In the DPRK, everything is placed at the service of the peoples’ masses.
A highly developed society in all respects can be created only when the population is of a high-level of education, with a high degree of availability to each person to enjoy the achievements of human civilization. The first question on the agenda of the young newly born country in 1948 became the organization of public education, universal compulsory education, a network of primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities. As a result of the tremendous work in this direction, the country with a total of 12 people with higher education in August 1945, in a short period of history became a country of universal literacy, where training covers all segments of the population of all ages. Education in the DPRK is provided free: being universal compulsory 11-year, which includes a one-year compulsory pre-school, 4 years of primary and 6-years of secondary education. This system was introduced in 1972. Students of colleges and universities receive a scholarship. Uniforms for school pupils and students are provided free by the state. (And look how much it costs to equip the current first-graders at a school here (in Britain - FB) and in bourgeois Russia, Ukraine and the other now bourgeois republics of the former socialist Soviet Union? And do all the children in those countries have the opportunity to study in school? Education in the former USSR is now gradually becoming fee-paying, not to mention studying at university.) In the DPRK state budget, spending on education is increasing, accounting for a large share of the budget. Education in the DPRK is now coming to the stage of higher education for the entire population.
National cadres, trained by their own strengths, play a leading role in science, economic management and the state ... The DPRK carefully relates to its 5-thousand year old country's history, developing distinctive Korean culture.
A lot of attention is paid by the state and the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK) to public health.
Recently, in the sphere of health, a network system of health care based on modern scientific and technological achievements has been established. Computer diagnosis using fiber optics, ensure timely diagnosis of disease and disease prevention by skilled people, even in the most remote areas from the capital of the country.
Housing issues are also always in the spotlight of the Party and State. Everywhere there is construction of new housing and renovation of housing already in use. This concerns not only the capital and cities, but also the counties.
The hailed by the Party slogan of the general offensive on the issue of building a mighty economic power is embodied in the construction of large hydroelectric power stations (for example, Hichhonskaya HES put into operation in just a few months instead of the planned 10 years) in the modernization of production processes based on digital program control in factories and plants, in the introduction into service of new giants of the chemical industry (such as vinalon plant in Hamhung), in applying the new technology of gasification of anthracite in the production of fertilizers at the Namhysk Chemical Association "Youth", in developing new technology for converter smelting of cast iron without the use of coke at the Sonchzhin steel plant. There are many such examples in today's socialist Korea.
It always has been and remains the focus of the Party and the state in providing people with quality food and sturdy household items. Exhibitions of achievements of the national economy for a wide selection and implementation of new high quality products are held. There is continuing large-scale reconstruction of fields in agriculture for the use of mechanical tillage and crop removal, to realize new high-yield varieties of crops. Work widely carried out on the development of fisheries in agricultural cooperatives. The work goes on everywhere with enthusiasm in the wake of a new great revolutionary upsurge in the construction of a powerful socialist nation.
The state ideology of the DPRK is a communist ideology of Juche, the state policy - the policy of Songun. The DPRK is developing intensively.
In recent years, thanks to the development of domestic science in the field of space and nuclear technology, the DPRK launched into space two artificial earth satellites and built a nuclear weapon, becoming a world's nuclear power - a strong deterrent against any machinations of imperialism to wage war on the Korean peninsula, and thus - a third world war .
On appeal in 2009, by the great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il, the whole nation is taking an active part in the general offensive on the country's transition to the level of a powerful and prosperous power in 2012, the year of the 100 anniversary of the birthday of President Kim Il Sung.
Great work all over the country is being carried out directly under the leadership of Comrade Kim Jong Il, re-elected to the highest post of the DPRK - Chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK – on September 3, 2003. His constant travel around the country, to factories, agricultural cooperatives, to military units are evidence of his direct close contact with people, and make him a popular military leader, firmly and confidently leading his country to the heights of socialist advanced nations who are not afraid of any obstacle. It is hard to imagine the DPRK today without Kim Jong Il. He is the brain of the Party and State, an experienced military strategist and a gifted practitioner in the most severe battle against world imperialism, always winning victory in this confrontation between unequal forces. His work, successes in the development of the country, and its prestige in the international arena speak of the authority and majesty of the Leader. Therefore, the people assigning him the status as - Great - is recognition of his contribution in leading the state and concern for the welfare of the people.
We congratulate Kim Jong Il, on the 62-anniversary of the forming of the DPRK by Great Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung. On this auspicious occasion, we congratulate the leading staff of the Korean revolution and the heroic Korean people.
We also congratulate Kim Jong Il, on the the 7-th anniversary of his re-election to the highest state post in the DPRK - Chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK.
On September 22, 1949 untimely passed away the wife and close friend of Kim Il Sung, the mother of Kim Jong Il, anti-Japanese heroine Kim Jong Suk.
We bow our heads before the memory of her and her heroic life, entirely devoted to her people.

To Pyongyang on the occasion of anniversaries, in the name of the great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il, telegrams have been sent by the General Secretary of Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks (CC AUCPB) N.A. Andreeva



V.I. LENIN ON GUERRILLA WARFARE

Despite all attempts by the bourgeois regimes to bring the labour movement to its knees, despite all their applied repression, workers and working people are rising up to fight for their rights.
In this issue we publish materials from Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, on the unfolding struggle.
Especially interesting are the letters of young readers of our newspapers, including political prisoners. Political prisoners from the "Odessa case" have not given up, have not broken, have not betrayed their communist beliefs. They, from the torture chambers continue their publicist, ideological, moral fight –- to defend their communist beliefs and ideals that call for working people not to give up and fight for the overthrow of the power of capital.
Noteworthy is the article of our reader Vikhrev about events in Primorye. And in this context I would like to learn from the experience of our Leninist party, the experience of the revolution of 1905-1907, when Lenin and the Bolsheviks paid much attention to the question of armed struggle in general and the partisan struggle in particular.
Analyzing the “Lessons of the Moscow Uprising” (works, vol.13, pp. 369-377, August 1906 - Russian) – of the December armed uprising in Moscow in 1905, - and the reasons for his defeat, Lenin noted that the general strike as an independent and main form of struggle, had outlived its usefulness, what with the spontaneous, irresistible force coming out of these narrow confines and producing the highest form of struggle, the uprising. "The strike grew into an uprising, especially under the pressure of the objective conditions" (p. 370). "From the strikes and demonstrations to individual barricades. From individual barricades to massive construction of barricades and street fighting with the army. Over the head of organizations, mass proletarian struggle crossed over from strike to uprising. In this, lies the greatest historic gain of the Russian Revolution reached by December 1905, the gain, bought, as in all the previous ones, at the price of enormous sacrifices "(p.370-371). "And now we must, finally, openly and publicly recognize the inadequacy of political strikes, to agitate among the broadest masses for armed insurrection ... To hide from the masses the need for a desperate, bloody, destructive war as the immediate task of impending action, means, to deceive oneself, and the people"(p.372). "... The inevitable wavering of troops, whatever the true people's movement, leads under the aggravation of the revolutionary struggle to a true struggle for winning over the troops. The Moscow uprising shows us exactly the most desperate, most furious fighting of reactionary power and the revolution for winning over the support of the army"(p. 372). Lenin, analyzing the causes of the defeat of the December armed uprising, reminds the revolutionaries of Marx's words, "who wrote that insurrection is an art and that the main rule of this art –is the desperately brave, final, decisive assault" (p.374). "We should ring all the bells on the need for a bold offensive and attack with weapons in hand, on the need for extermination with this, of the commanders, and the most energetic struggle for the wavering troops "(p.374). "Moscow - Lenin notes – put forth "new barricade tactics." These tactics were the tactics of guerrilla warfare. The organization, using such tactics would be mobile and very small detachments of tens, triples, or even two people "(p.374-375). Lenin went on to note that Moscow put forward a new tactic of guerrilla warfare, but did not develop it. "Vigilantes were insufficient in numbers, the mass of workers had not received the slogan of bold attacks and did not use it, the nature of guerrilla units was too fixed, their weapons and their methods inadequate, their ability to lead a crowd was almost undeveloped" (p.375). “Social-Democracy (Communists-FB) must recognize and adopt as their tactics this mass terror, of course, organizing and controlling it, subordinating it to the interests and conditions of the labour movement and the general revolutionary struggle ... "(p. 375). The heroic struggle of several thousand armed Moscow workers lasted 9 days. Tsarism sent troops into Moscow, many times higher in strength than the rebel forces, had used artillery against the barricade and drowned the uprising in blood. The Moscow Committee of Bolsheviks was arrested, and the rebels did not have a single centre, fought piecemeal and limited themselves to defence. This was the main source of weakness of the Moscow uprising and one of the reasons for his defeat (material from the History of the CPSU (b), OGIZ, Gospolitizdat, 1945, p. 79). Lenin, in the above work, notes that "military tactics depends on the level of military equipment - Engels chewed upon this truth and put it into the mouth of Marxists." (p.374). The Bolsheviks after the defeat of the Moscow uprising did not lost heart. They believed that there was an impending new wave of armed struggle and proposed to prepare for it more carefully, prepare weapons and to really confront the armed to the teeth, Tsar’s punitive forces, called on them step up the fight to win over the wavering troops, which mainly consisted of peasants dressed in soldiers' uniforms. "We can and must take advantage of improving technology, to teach the workers’ detachments to make bombs en-mass, to help them and our fighting squads to stock up explosives, fuses and automatic rifles. With the participation of the working masses in the urban uprising, with a mass attack on the enemy with a strong skillful fight for winning over the army, which will waver even more ..., ensuring the participation of the countryside in the common struggle - victory will be ours in the next all-Russian armed uprising" (p.376 ).
Lenin ends this work on an optimistic note with a deep faith in the creative forces of the revolutionary working class, - "Let us remember that the great mass struggle is nearing. This will be an armed uprising. It should be, if possible, at the same time. The masses must know that they are going on an armed, bloody, desperate struggle. Contempt for death must be spread among the masses and ensure victory. The attack on the enemy must be the most vigorous; attack and not defence should be the slogan of the masses, the ruthless extermination of the enemy – will be their task; the organization of the struggle will be developed mobile and flexible; the wavering elements among troops will be drawn into active struggle. The party of the politically conscious proletariat must fulfil its duty in this great struggle (p.376-377).
Lenin devoted questions on guerrilla action in his special work "The Guerrilla War" (PSS, v.14, p.1-12, September 1906). Speaking of forms of struggle, Lenin noted that, firstly, "Marxism is different from all the primitive forms of socialism in that it does not connect the movement of any one particular form of struggle. He recognizes a variety of forms of struggle, does not "invent" them, but merely summarizes, organizes, gives consciousness to those forms of struggle of the revolutionary classes, which arise of themselves in the course of the movement "(p. 1). "Marxism in this respect is learning, so to speak, from mass practice, far from the claims to teach the masses invented "forms of struggle" by armchair" systematists (p. 2).
"Secondly, Marxism demands an absolutely historical consideration of the question on forms of struggle" (p. 2). "At different stages of economic evolution, depending on various political, national, cultural, domestic conditions etc., various forms of struggle are put forward and become the principal forms of struggle, and in connection with this, in turn, secondary and less important forms of struggle are modified, "(p. 2).
"Armed struggle pursues two different objectives ... this struggle is aimed, firstly, to the murder of individuals, superiors and subordinates in the military and police - and secondly, to confiscate the funds from government and private entities. Confiscated funds go to the party, part of it goes towards the armament and preparation of the uprising, and part of it towards the maintenance of those leading the struggle characterized by us"(p. 4). "The worsening political crisis to the point of armed struggle and in particular the worsening poverty, hunger and unemployment in villages and towns have played a major role among the reasons for the described form of struggle" (p. 4). "The spreading of the "guerilla" struggle namely after December and its connection with the aggravation of not only the economic but also political crisis are obvious. Old Russian terrorism used to be the affair of the intellectual-conspirator, but now the guerrilla struggle is carried out, as a general rule, by a worker-fighter or simply an unemployed worker "(p.5-6).
"Guerrilla struggle is an inevitable form of struggle at a time when the mass movement is actually ready for an uprising, and when enter more or less large intervals between "major battles" in a civil war" (p.7).
"A Marxist stands on the class struggle, and not on social peace. In certain periods of acute economic and political crises, the class struggle develops to outright civil war, i.e. armed struggle between two sections of the people "(p.8). "In the era of civil war, the ideal party of the proletariat is a belligerent party "(p.8). And Lenin concludes: "It should learn to fight" (p.9).
“In such an era, in an era of nation-wide political strikes, the uprising cannot be moulded into the old form of individual acts, limited by very short time and very small areas. It is natural and inevitable that the revolt takes higher and more complex forms of a continual civil war covering the whole country, i.e. armed struggle between the two sections of the people "(p.11).
"Social-Democracy (communists -FB) must necessarily set its goal of the establishment of such organizations, which would be most able to lead the masses in these large-scale battles and, if possible, in small skirmishes. Social democracy (communists) in an era of intensified class struggle up and to civil war, should set itself the task of not only participation, but also the leadership role in this civil war. Social democracy (communists) must educate and prepare their organizations to ensure that they really act as a belligerent party, and not to miss a single opportunity to inflict damage on enemy forces" (p.11).
The Draft resolution “guerrilla fighting operations”, as proposed by the Bolsheviks to the IV (amalgamating) Congress of the RSDLP (Russian Social Democratic Labour Party) (April 1906) was written precisely in the Leninist revolutionary spirit. The Congress however, where the majority were Mensheviks had adopted the more subdued version of the Resolution. But on the V (London) RSDLP Congress (April-May 1907), when it became clear that the revolution had subsided, the Bolsheviks in the draft resolution to Congress “About guerrilla actions" wrote: "At the moment, in the absence of conditions for a mass revolutionary upheaval, guerrilla actions are undesirable and congress recommends an ideological struggle with them, and that it is also permissible under the conditions of mass revolutionary struggle, guerrilla performances can be carried out only at the initiative of local party committees, with the permission of the regional centres, and under their strict control. A system of party militia, which consists of military training for all party members within the existing party cells are a form of combat organizations, with the most appropriate task of training the militant vanguard of the proletariat for an armed uprising, (CPSU in Resolutions and Decisions of Congresses, Conferences and Central Committee Plenums, Moscow, Politizdat, 1983 , Volume 1, s.254-255).

MONOPOLY OF FILTH, OR LEARN TO THINK WITH YOUR HEAD


Old-timers of the university, where I once studied, well-remembered the teacher of Marxism-Leninism – an evil "communist", who sucked a lot of blood from them. When I met her her, she was already teaching "Ділову українську," (Ukrainian studies) behaved as an avowed nationalist, and forced pairs of students to speak in Ukrainian. (This is in Odessa, where almost no one speaks Ukrainian.) Perhaps all those who lived "at the turn of the ages”, met such people. To a normal person it is hard to understand how one can change ones beliefs, like gloves. Yesterday there was praise of Stalin, and now they compete to see who can thinks up a bigger number of people repressed, and at the same time they portray sincerity with great talent.
Those who had treated with contempt Lenin's phrase: "The intellectuals - this is the shit of the nation, are now beginning to understand what he meant. Obvious examples of shit writers are Vasily Aksenov in Russia and poets Dmitry Pavlychko, Grach and Yavorivsky in Ukraine, although no less well known are directors Mikhalkov Konchalovsky - in Russia, and Ilienko Tonyuk - Ukraine. The list goes on and on.
Kissing Soviet power and heavily licking its ass, they now never get tired of pouring mud on it, though, for example, the laudatory ode by Pavlychko can still be found in old textbooks, literature, and historical films of shit directors can be seen on video. And so it is everywhere: economists suck on delusional theories, leading the countries of the former Soviet Union from one crisis to another, managers are starving profitable state-owned enterprises, so they are easier to privatize, university teachers have mastered all forms of bribery: from primitive coupons left inside the exam booklet, to writing a test, course, or theses. Doctors do not lag far behind them, serving pharmaceutical companies, and choosing for patients not the most effective but the most expensive treatment. And the "technical intelligentsia" so zealously supports all reforms, perestroika, etc., so heroically, berating the "damned scoop" whisper in the kitchen, with the collapse of high-tech industry dutifully trudged to the market to sell worn panties. Lenin was right. Is this the "brain of the nation"? Doe one need such a brain, acting to the detriment of the body and yourself? Did not this brain predict the consequences of "reform": the reduction of the population and the duration of its life, the emergence of previously unknown social ills - the mass of drug addiction, prostitution, street children, etc.?
Lenin insulted the intelligentsia for good reason. He knew what place in society occupied this, if I may say, "elite". According to the theory of class, workers, those who produce the wealth, are forced to hire themselves to the capitalists who own the mines and factories, which acquire a large part of the product of the workers, using the "sacred right of private property." Thus, the class, common to all capitalists interest – is to pay workers enough money so they do not drop dead from hunger and could continue to work. The class interest of workers – is to knock out of the capitalists as much pay as possible of their labor and, ultimately, to throw off its neck the parasites, eliminate "sacred right to private property” and to gain for itself the right to dispose of the products of their labour and their labour power.
But what about the intellectuals? They hang between these two classes. Themselves they cannot exploit the workers, but they do possess certain knowledge and talent from which to benefit. And the one who pays them helps to extract the benefit. From generation to generation, these "elitists" pass on their betraying psychology. Therefore, rare exceptions look so bright against their background, driven by the authorities - "the guardians of the people," not when "to be the guardian" is profitable and fashionable, but when there is no strength to look at its suffering. Intellectuals licked the Soviet regime, when it gave them privileges, and silently hated it for "levelling" when they considered that they could sell themselves at a higher price. Having created around themselves an aura of superiority, they despise workers as "redneck" and stupid "shopkeepers". They also have their own interest - the monopoly on knowledge. An echo of this "elite" of interest, for example, is in European languages in an excessive entanglement of writing - the existence of unreadable letters, etc.,further complicating the study of literacy.
The Bolsheviks in Russia dealt a severe blow to the "elitists". No, not by mass repressions and executions, which they have now invented, but by universal free and compulsory secondary education, through which everyone could become an academician. And yet that is what people became. You only needed to study!
"Cooks' children", so despised by the intellectuals, turned out no less talented than their own offspring. Stalin's intentions to introduce the 5-hour working day and mandatory higher education, as well as the instilled by the Bolsheviks "fashion" in broad-minded and polytechnic literacy, threatened to blur the distinction between mental and physical work and drive the last nail in the coffin “elitist” intellectuals. Hence the hatred towards the Soviets by those who seemingly had to thank them for prizes, professorship cottages, privileges, respect by the people and honour.
But this true "flower of the nation" for the most part died during the Great Patriotic War. (Who else rushed to the most difficult parts, and were the first who rose from the trenches and strained their health in the workplace?) Stalin died. And again pseudo elite began to create for themselves a halo of the chosen and unattainable genius, convincing everyone else that "for them there is something for those who think." Although, if you take in essence, to become an engineer, as many as five years of study are needed in higher learning institution (nowadays that is not necessary). But in order to receive higher level turner or welder grade, no less time is needed spent on skill improvement! Not everyone can do that. At the same time and turner and scholar, and nuclear physicist, are equally narrow specialists in their field. But when, for example, Sakharov judges "big politics" and the issues that are far removed from nuclear physics, his opinion for some reason is considered more authoritative than the opinions of the turner. Roughly speaking, the professor is different from any other person in that he knows ... how to become a professor. This is what the intelligentsia hides.
Regaining monopoly over knowledge "of science and culture", they began to intensively degrade. Most of them are fully oligophrenic in all that goes beyond their narrow specialization, while it should be noted that even in that, they show no genius. It is they, that jumped at everything from perestroika to the financial pyramid AO MMM that collapsed. The most hardened of them clearly know their place and their interest. No sooner had the power changed in the country, they froze into a servile slight bow: "What, new master, would you like?" And they themselves clambered into in from out of all the crevices.
The sex liberals alone removed from the criminal code the article on sodomy, as they were already hard at instilling into the public their gay culture. And how relieved they were when finally they were legally free from extolling things that cannot be comprehend by all these corrupt whores, such things like courage and heroism, devotion to duty and Motherland, love and friendship! Now they sing of their "values": to cash in more crafty, to sell more expensive to live in ones pleasure, indulging in unthinkable perversions, "not bothered" by moral principles and remorse. For this, they invent advertising of unusable goods and invent opportunities for cheapening cost of production, making it dangerous for the consumer! And they know what they are doing!
You can, of course, accuse me that I think one size fits all, to give examples of other people's behavior of intellectual labour, both from personal experience, and well-known people (like, genius mathematician Perelman, who lives in a "Khrushchev-style" apartment and refused the million dollar prize ). But let everyone look about and objectively assess the number of intellectuals who have civil courage, are incorruptible, are going against the cannibalistic capitalist system, and their position in society, which they store for today. At best, they are exposed to ridicule or, as the same Perelman, are announced as half-crazy suffering from autism, etc. And it is the intelligentsia which has the expertise and trained intelligence to fight for a better future for its people, explaining to the people, bereft of objective information, the truth. But the position occupied by the intelligentsia in a class society, has forced it to make a very difficult choice.
Of all the above, it follows that we should not believe everything they write and speak, even if it is academics, doctors and other authority. Even if yesterday they were telling the truth. Authorities are bought and sold. Take a look around. If an economist broadcasts that "the economy is growing" and "people’s well-being is improved, and while prices have increased twice, while wages rose by as much as 10%, believe it with your own eyes - "the economist" is lying. If the “historian” says that in "Golodomor" every third Ukrainian died, and you do not know a single person, who have relatives or friends who would have died from starvation -"the historian" is deceiving you. If the number of repressed people exceeds population of the country, perhaps it is worth considering: is it true?
People, learn to think with your head! Deprive the corrupt skins the monopoly on objective knowledge - learning is not as difficult as they tell you. But only knowledge will make you free.

GROWING TENSION


Recently the deputies of the Russian State Duma (lower house of parliament) examined two laws designed to make life difficult for the opposition. The first of them - the new version of the law "On meetings" - adds a new scheme in the filing of applications for public events. This includes, extending the time period in which you want to apply: for a rally, for example, the application should not be submitted no later than 10 calendar days, but no later than 10 working days. In addition, the organizer of the action cannot be a person who has been detained by police during the year for any so-called "unauthorized" rallies. On the second law, with a brief title "On the Federal Security Service", is known only that the members of this law enforcement force structure will be able to send citizens a written warning that their behavior smacks of extremism.
Bourgeois-liberal human rights activists raise a panic, insisting that both pieces of legislation are aimed directly against them. Somehow, for them it seems that new laws are invented only for stopping disgruntled motorists spending more of their time road protesting. Of course, the new laws will not make it any easier for them. But the bourgeois legislation is directed primarily against the rising labour movement in the country. Members of Parliament by an absolute majority voted for the law "On the Federal Security Service, and do not hide this.
"After the tragedy at Raspadskaya we are faced with incitement and calls for action” - complains the representative of the Kemerovo region in the Federation Council Sergei Shatir – “the law would warn off and prevent trouble-makers". This is the typical reaction of the rotten terrified bourgeoisie, under whom his chair has suddenly started shaking. The word "agitators" he is using on the desperate miners' families, blocking the railroad on May 14.

Without a doubt, any workers, who have risen to fight against their oppressors, the bourgeoisie, for growing fat on their blood, have "whistle blowers", and any protest for the bourgeoisie is an embarrassing mistake. Trying to protect themselves and their hosts from the rising tide of discontent, the obedient lackeys of the bourgeoisie in the Duma invent new laws giving more freedom to servants in uniform. As if the oppressed working class will ask their permission for a revolution!
All this confusion with "caveats", "harmony" and the other is addressed, of course, not to the opposition with experience. Those who have fought for the liberation of workers from the outset of the open outburst of the counter-revolution, are unlikely to be intimidated. The new law on the secret services is primarily intended for those who have just embarked on the path of struggle. To scare new of labour leaders and activists, to make them turn from this road, abandon the struggle for a better life - that's what the aim is of the authors of all the bourgeois laws. They think that a piece of paper with a seal will be for the worker is more terrible than a famine, who is pushing for decisive action. They are confident that they can endlessly deceive the workers and will never receive retribution for their crimes. But this is not true.

The fuss around about the procedure for holding rallies and the fuss around the authority of the FSB, raised simultaneously, is indicating an increase in tension in the country. That is how the class struggle of the bourgeoisie appears. All of this is its reaction to a wave of strikes that swept across Russia in the spring and summer months. More often than before, they ended in victory for the workers, which inspires commitment in the hearts of other oppressed people. So far the protest has a social basis - a central demand of the main part of the protest action is the payment of wage arrears. But it will inevitably turn into something more. After all, the Kemerovo coal miners, like previously the AvtoVAZ workers demanded workers' control over their industries. This demand is political. A strong and organized opposition to oppression has forced the bourgeoisie to seek salvation in new laws with menacing titles and confusing language.
And adding to the law “on rallies”, and the new law “on the FSB" is another pathetic attempt by domestic servants of capital in the country to delay the onset of a revolutionary situation and the imminent collapse of their barbaric exploitative system. Against the bourgeoisie aggravation of the class struggle and their strengthening of repression, the working class must respond with the growth of its organizational ability and political consciousness. Cohesive ranks of the working class, armed with knowledge of the theory of revolutionary Marxism will crush and destroy capitalism!

TWO WORLDS


In modern Ukrainian society, collectivism is not in fashion. Also not in vogue are simple care and compassion to others. Almost everyone lives in his or her own narrow personal little world, the centre and at the same time, the boundaries of which is his or her own "I".
Most surprising is the speed with which society disintegrated into atoms. And the total of these atoms is no longer a society, but a herd.
The fact that it is a herd was displayed by the raging last autumn grand hysteria and panic about "swine flu. In this hysterical idiocy was everything: faces covered with gauze bandages, and "preventive" Jordania of antibiotics, and "preventive" quarantine in universities, schools and other institutions.
The philistine in the street, naturally, objected to me by asking: "Why do you say that, because people were dying!?" Yes, I say, but from what?
All the obsequious crap spilled out by the ruling class of the bourgeoisie assured us that it’s from some "terrible" “new" virus. But even in this chorus of voices there was disagreement. And when put together all you hear, how two plus two equals four, the picture is interesting. No, it was not the virus that killed hundreds if not thousands of people. They were killed by the system - the capitalist system! Miserable, poor, illiterate medicine, which is also fee paying private medicine and also people weakened by malnutrition, hard labour, poor environmental and other similar factors affecting the health of most of the working population, the same fear of losing their jobs, which causes so many, in spite of feeling unwell to go out to their work...
All this, is elementary, but why do the majority of people do not understand?
And the information that the new influenza virus is the product of the laboratory creation of maniacs in white robes, was released specifically to raise profits of the pharmaceutical bourgeois, and merely says that, as always, capital is ready to commit any crime in order to increase profits. They are willing to organize war and epidemics! Do you understand that, gentlemen philistines?
* * *
Consider another example of mass blindness and deafness: social stratification. A tiny minority of the population of Ukraine lives by exploitation of the working majority of people. Even if you add on to it all the exploiting lackeys and watchdogs, as well as other parasites, it still is - 10-15% of the total population, maximum.
The rest of the population (and this is the proletariat and the intelligentsia, and retirees, and lumpen, and other sections), in its mass, not only patiently tolerate these parasites around their neck, but are ready to tear away at each other at the slightest provocation and even without cause.
Fear, hatred and meanness sway in these circles. Everyone tries to get into other people's heads, and break out, if not into the masters of life, then at least to be their toadies. And many simply vent their anger and frustration at people like themselves, people.
Of course, the legs of all these phenomena grow out of the stagnation of the "safe" Soviet past, and sometimes, from very far away. Nothing can appear only at the wave of the hand of a puppeteer. But over the past decade in mass psychology, tremendous shifts have occurred, therefore, the roots, nourishing these shifts are not on the surface.
* * *
Ten years ago, began a certain lift in the domestic capitalist economy. And after several years of lifting, a large proportion of the population at the very least, blended in with capitalism.
But one should also remember that the cost of such consumer "happiness" of the newfound "middle" class became the destruction and degradation of millions of "extra" people, as well as labour migration abroad of 5.7 million of Ukraine's population, who are unlikely to ever return home.
However, bourgeois propaganda ordered the townsfolk to believe that "genocide" in Ukraine in the 20-30-s was organized by Lenin and Stalin. It is clear that Kuchma with Yushchenko and other "dear friends" are not destroying Ukraine but reviving it ... Although, if such a "revival" is not genocide, then I am the "Pope"! And the philistines, though not all, believe in these fables. Maybe it is advantageous and convenient to believe in these fables?
* * *
Yes, one section has settled in with capitalism not badly, though, by having sold themselves to the roots, selling and betraying everything and everyone. Well, while the other section finished up on the bottom.
And the “middle class” teamed up with their oppressors and exploiters against those whom the capitalist system dropped to the bottom of the social pyramid.
On the one hand, wealthier philistines, like fire, are afraid of the residents of the social bottom, fear and hate them. And on the other hand, they do not notice all those social evils that are inherent in today's society. Although the fetid ulcers of our exploitative society are not fenced off by some Chinese walls but are visible to anyone who wants to see at every step.
But the so-called "middle class" does not want to see all this: homeless kids sniffing glue, prostitutes of both sexes, including minors, the begging elderly and homeless tramps rotting alive. But the philistine public in the street contemplate a bourgeois luxury and state "stability." They are drawn to the first and do not pay attention to what lies behind the second. That is how the creeping dictatorship of Kuchma and Putin manage to win.
Our philistines do not see the sweat and blood of capitalism, although many are looking in the mirror of their own future.
In the end, there comes the day of reckoning - the economic crisis. The consumer boom is a trap, into which many millions of people from big capitalists to housewives fall.
With all this, there are still those unique minds who religiously believe that the country is safe. And that’s just because their own backsides have not been bitten. Therefore, they are pleased with themselves, and continue to squirm in the market paradise.
Okay, let's wait until the respected roast bird pays a visit on these unreasonable citizens. Prior to that, knocking on their birdbrain is useless.
We turn now to those who have already realized the truth of life, whose "golden" existence has turned into a pile of broken pottery: for those who lost their jobs, who are smothered by debt, rent arrears, and total disorder of life. Each of them has the following choices:
1) Further wallow in a pit latrine, which is the capitalist system. There is only one "but": you won’t get butter out of shit, no matter how hard you try.
2) Fold your arms and drown.
3) Destroy this inhumane system and build a more just one - a socialist society.
Next, we shall try to convince them that the latter path is the only true and correct one.
* * *
The paradox of first round of presidential elections on January 17, 2010 is that in times of crisis, protests should grow, but as a result, left candidates won only 4% of the votes.
Explaining that Simonenko and Moroz are so bad, and therefore the masses sent them to hell, is "lame" in one thing: the proletariat is not yet ready for a socialist revolution and remains captive in petty-bourgeois psychology. It is not even worth talking about the other detachments of the oppressed. If someone takes on radicalism, it is exclusively "kitchen" radicalism. This is speaking of left radicalism. The bulk of the masses today, if they think about more or less about normal order, want that what is suggested by Simonenko and the Communist Party.
The Communist Party of Ukraine (CPU) was fully attuned to the philistine, but the latter did not appreciate this (it's better that way, when you think about the long term). So, for the most part, the philistine is satisfied with even the so-called wild capitalism. Virtually only the one CPU wishes to make it "social-democratic”, that is, "civilized" “humane” capitalism with a “human face”.
And retribution will follow very soon. Elected by the philistine Yanukovych with Tigipko, and the same Simonenko (who, however, had little influence on the course of events) are already preparing "gifts" for their voters. Old men will be hunched up in work for an extra 5-10 years more simply will not live to retirement. Young people will not escape the "honorable" duty to get biscuits in the barracks in return, and build dachas and so forth for the generals for free.
The victory of Yanukovych is a success for the oligarchs standing behind him. All the latest Ukrainian "achievements" - is an achievement of the corresponding grouping of the bourgeoisie, which will depart from the crisis on the backs of the philistines.
And do not hope for a "civilized capitalism" or, as many philistines say: "capitalist socialism." Suffice it to know what is happening in France, Greece and the same China and to understand that behind the mask of "democracy" and "civilized capitalism" or "market socialism" (as would be desired) is hidden the same mug of the inhuman predatory bourgeois system. And about this much has been written.
Unwilling to understand this, the average philistine, including thte Philistine-proletarian, will be doomed to be a slave.
"Fate?"

P.S. Summer 2010. In Ukraine, it was not so quiet. Slowly, timidly, sporadically, the proletariat rises in the struggle. He did not buy into the expectation of the "milk river" by Yanukovich and Co. Workers have been striking in Kharkov, Nikolayev and other cities. In even larger numbers of people ran out the last drop of patience. Yes, this fight is weak and as yet only economic - the desire to get what is urgently needed.
Now the cause is with revolutionary communists - the proletarian vanguard, which should lead the oppressed class towards a socialist revolution!

The foreign ministers of Poland and the Czech Republic discussed at a meeting in Warsaw, the construction of U.S. missile defense systems in Europe

02.08.2010, 22.54

WARSAW, August 2. Itar-Tass. Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski and the Czech Republic Karel Schwarzenberg discussed at a meeting in the Polish capital, issues on the construction on the territory of the two countries a U.S. missile defense system.
As stated at the press conference after the meeting of the head of the Czech Foreign Ministry, the Centre for advanced notice of a U.S. missile defense system in the Czech Republic will be approximately one year. "It will take a little time, but in 2011 the main issues at the center must be resolved," - he said. "After the NATO summit in Lisbon, it will be part of NATO", - stressed the Minister.
Foreign Minister of Poland, in turn, recalled that the construction of a missile defense base in Redzikowo, according to the recently signed in Krakow supplement to the Polish-American agreement, is to begin in 2015 and completed in 2018 The new protocol brings a basic agreement on the deployment of U.S. missile defense facilities in Poland, signed in Washington in August 2008, in line with the new architecture of a missile defense system, which was announced on September 17, 2009 by U.S. President Barack Obama. According to these plans, the republic will deploy mobile missile interceptors "Standard-3" / SM-3 - Standard Missile-3 / missiles against short and medium range missiles, and in the Czech Republic in Prague district should have a center designed for the rapid acceptance and pre-processing of information about possible terrorists launching missiles aimed at targets in Europe and North America.

TIME TO RAISE YOUR VOICES

I would like to talk about our identity and self-esteem for example, workers at the Kherson Machine Works.
After all, when there was a seizure of the plant in February 2009, the bulk of the working class rallied together. And at some point, looking at them, we thought, well, finally some people have woken up, come out of hibernation, started to respect themselves, forced the powers that be to look at them as people and not as a "rednecks." Unfortunately, many had enough strength and spirit to the point, until they saw their names in the lists derived for work.
Going into the plant, they all at once were deprived of the right to vote, the right of a choice. The chairman of the trade union was "elected" for them, and they were forced under threat of dismissal to write applications to join a union and, interestingly, none of those who “joined” were outraged.
The position of the union is totally incomprehensible. The factory is almost dead, and the union is silent. Neither the regional and Union's Central Committee reacted and did not react to the fact that the plant is being cut up, production buildings are collapsing and not being repaired. In short, our union is sitting in the office, all agreeing with the management of the plant, regularly receiving a salary from contributions, which are made by the workers.
But, in fact, the organization first had to defend the rights of people to protect and preserve the material base of the company, which has been built by the legacy of our forefathers, which was maintained during the war. After all, our factory has more than a century of its existence.
Again, the position of our governors, and we have had three us over the past 5.5 years, is also unclear. Meeting with former employees, they say, management first promise one thing, but after a while their position and views change dramatically.
And so against the background of all this happening, I would like to ask just one question: How long can we, the working class, sit and watch how our factories are pulled down - and remain silent?
After all, in Ukraine there are hundreds of such plants as JSC "HMZ". Therefore, our group of people who have defended for a year and a half the plant and our rights, finds that it is time for the working class to wake up, to open its eyes and think, about what tomorrow will hold for us, our children and grandchildren? You have to understand that today you are being paid, but tomorrow out of a job without a livelihood and without work.
We should think about the future of our children.
We have taught them, they finished college, but can they work? Why should they go abroad to look there at the rich and elderly people only to be "second class" themselves?
And in order to keep our factories, rather, what was left of them, we need to unite and "cut the hands off" such "caring” owners about the welfare of the people. But if we do not, our state will finish up as a source of raw materials, and more simply put - we can not talk about any kind of independence, because if there are no jobs and wages, what independence can there really be?
Enterprises are standing idle, and therefore, no payments into the budget, and we then go to the IMF and others with an outstretched hand for loans. And then they begin to dictate terms on how and what we should do, and if we not do not raise our prices and rates, then we will not get any credit.
So it turns out that our children will go somewhere abroad and, roughly speaking, wash someone else’s backside, while the country's leadership will import from abroad, combines, tractors and more, reviving up someone else's economy, and creating jobs elsewhere, only not in Ukraine. And, of course, put stuff in their own pockets that is not produced at home.
And we shall live that way as long as we do not make politicians and parties such as the Party of Regions, BYuT, and other parties of the bourgeoisie understand, that we the working class, are the owners and not them.

KAZAKHSTAN: STRIKES, ARRESTS, PERSECUTIONS


AIDOS SADYKOV IS FACING 5 YEARS OF IMPRISONMENT!
On July 13, Aktobe trial began against an opposition figure Aidos Sadykov, who, according to Art. 257 Part 2 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kasakhstan "hooliganism" and "resistance to the police" could face up to five years imprisonment. Aidos actively participated in the creation of independent trade unions in the Aktobe region than earned the support of workers who organized the June 9 in Zhanazhol at the enterprises of Chinese oil campaign "CNPC-Aktobemunaigaz" a protest rally.
The first day of the trial took place in a stormy atmosphere, since the defendant and the defence clashed with arbitrary chairman of the city court Akbolata Kurmantaeva, who refused to be videoed. Demands for disqualification of the judge were rejected.
We recall that in May, an act of provocation against an opposition figure was carried out, resulting in his forceful arrest and taken to the local police. During his detention, Aidos was beaten up and in response to criminal proceedings against him under Art. 257, Part 1 filed a complaint against the police in the local prosecutor's office. Accordingly, the police re-classified the action by Sadykov from the usual "disorderly conduct" for which he faces up to 2 years imprisonment to "wilful resistance to the police" in Part 2 of the same article, which increased the term of imprisonment to 5 years.
"Guardians of the order," say Aidos during resistance tore off buttons, pockets and straps from the police, although, according to his wife Natalia, immediately after the arrest, they came with a video camera and recorded by battered opposition figures and perfectly sound police uniform in no way damaged. During the preliminary investigation, the investigator refused to be attached this video evidence, which was proof of innocence of Sadykov.
This judicial farce can with certainty be described as another trumped-up political action against the well-known public figure in order to neutralize and intimidate. The scenario investigation is painfully reminiscent of the situation with Ermekov Narymbaevym, and the criminal case itself fits into a sequence of similar cases against Vladimir Kozlov and Sergei Utkin. Local authorities under order of Ak-Orda intend to deal with the radicals, who organized in Aktobe region rallies, marches, strikes and took a strong stand against the ruling policy in the country.
We, the socialists, despite the difference of opinion, support Aidos and demand an immediate end to this farce, call for the closing of the case and to punish police officers who had organized the provocation.


IN WESTERN KAZAKHSTAN AGAIN STRIKES AND ARRESTS
On July 1 a strike began by more than 200 employees of companies Dossormunaygaz and Embamunaigas (subsidiaries of "KMG"). Work on the oil industry of Atyrau and Mangistau areas has been completely stopped.
EMG employs about 5 thousand people and many workers do not agree with the introduction of the new wage system. They believe that the administration plans to remove the company's allowance for adverse conditions. Moreover, the working group calls for the resignation of Acting Director PF EMG Izturgana Baymuhanova.
This time, the authorities decided not to stand on ceremony and July 5 police in the Atyrau region, arrested trade union leader and activist Asylkhan Mussina Max Bakaeva and held him for 7 days. Both are accused of trying to organize an unsanctioned rally.
Recently, CEO of the Company “Exploration and Production Kazmunaigaz" Kenzhebek Ibrashev visited the hunger strikers in the oil industry but failed to agree in negotiations with the workers. We recall that in mid-March he was dismissed because of a mass strikes in Zhanaozene, and now once again occupies this position. According to activists, in a private conversation, Ibrashev promised to leave the old tariff scale as it was, to re-elect a chairman of the union and stop exerting pressure on the workers.
Meanwhile, on July 2, press office "RD KGM" spread information about a branch of production that had commenced the payment of salaries under the new system of remuneration. Therefore, it is possible that discontent can only worsen.

IN KARAGANDA, LEFT COMMUNISTS ARRESTED
On July 12, the Administrative Court of Karaganda ruled the arrest for a day Left Communists Andrei Tsukanova and Alexander Ukman for allegedly disobeying police. The reason for the detention and trial of comrades was the dispersal inhabitants of October district of the coal capital, who were protesting against the lack of normal water supply.
Despite the arguments of Andrew and Alexander, that the police at the end of gathering organized a provocation and a scuffle, the court found that the Communists were guilty of insubordination, and, according to Art. 355 of the Administrative Code, arrested and detained them for 24 hours. Another communist, Alexander Bondarenko, who also was arrested on 10 July at this gathering, may be prosecuted for allegedly "insulting the honour and dignity of the country’s president" only because he demanded his resignation.
This arrest and persecution of leftist activists in Karaganda is a factor of fear and intimidation of all social protest groups fighting for their rights against the tyranny of monopolies and the authorities in the region.
We demand the immediate cessation of pressure and fabrication of a criminal case against Alexander Bondarenko.

ON THE NATURE OF ZIONISM

I found on a website an article by Vladimir Andreyev entitled "The Truth about Zionism." I was happy, because that destructive role played by Zionism in the modern world, little is written about it by the Communists and this is unforgivable. And here we have the truth about Zionism. I thought, finally a Communist, a member of the RCWP (Russian Communist Workers’ Party), calling a spade a spade.
This is all the more necessary, because ZIONISM as the state ideology and policy of Israel, in equity should be again as in 1975, condemned by UN General Assembly as aggressive racism and a form of racial discrimination. For 60 years Israel has occupied Palestine and maintains a policy of state terrorism on the suffering of Arab land, exactly resembling Germany's fascism.
Although placing hopes on the UN is naive, because in 1991 it had abolished its decision. In recent decades, the credibility of this international organization has fallen sharply. The UN has become a handheld appliance for the U.S.A., the world imperialist gendarme. It got to the point that during the visit of the UN Secretary General to the Middle East on March 21, 2010, Israeli President Shimon Peres scolded Ban Ki-moon like a little boy for the allegedly loyal attitude of the UN towards "troublemaker" Iranian President Ahmadinejad ...
After reading the article my disappointment knew no bounds. Andreyev set out to - in whatever form he took to DEFEND ZIONISM. At first he warned readers not to believe the paraphrase from an article from the Large Soviet Encyclopedia, which says that "Zionism is a reactionary chauvinist ideology and policy of the Jewish bourgeoisie," and named "the characteristic features of Zionism as being militant chauvinism, racism, anti-Sovietism. He has reduced these assessments of Zionism to ordinary "horror stories", though they are the absolute truth.
Then he introduced us to the wise sayings of the first Israeli ambassador to the USSR, then Prime Minister Golda Meir. Do not forget to remember the good father of Zionism, Vladimir Jabotinsky, who Mussolini affectionately called a "Jewish fascist", and Ben Gurion dubbed him as "Vladimir Hitler." He sang the praises to the Israeli kibbutzim, “agricultural communes”, in which labour is perfectly organized, unlike the Soviet communes, in which "thick commies like to work less and get more ...”
The author even dragged Ber Borohov here, who headed in Poltava in the beginning of the XX century the Jewish "Marxist" organization Po'alei Zion "("Workforce"). And he dreamt, how the Jewish proletariat would move to an empty land (?) free from people, to create a "Jewish national enclave" and implement "socialist ideals". That’s why Zionism was initially alleged to be "socialist".
The magic of words played a cruel joke on the author. It saved him the necessity to analyze and dig to the bottom of the terrible phenomenon called "ZIONISM."
Hitler also headed the WORKER’S National Socialist Party. Was its program really desirable to the interests of the working class of Germany? Thus the Jewish "Bund" broke away from the RSDLP (Russian Social Democratic Labour Party) in early XX century, and the Poltavian “Po'alei Zion” bore no relation to Marxism and did not serve the interests of the working class. It would not hurt the author-"communist" to get acquainted with Lenin's assessment of the pro-Zionist position of the Bundists.
True, very often latter-day "communists" do not feel the need for studying dialectical materialist logic. They do not study the classics of Marxism. They say that "they are obsolete" to cover up their political ignorance and laziness of the mind. They restrict themselves to sketches of surface phenomena and do not examine events in the concrete historical context. The class approach is not considered a major methodological tool in understanding social phenomena.
Marx and Engels are sometimes quoted, but their outstanding discoveries - the materialist conception of history, are not understood. But they prefer, mainly what is in vogue, being the idealistic treatises of Western "thinkers" and the beautifully speaking speakers of bourgeois publicists. And they are even proud of such an eclectic mishmash of ideas in their heads.
So it turns out these articles, where instead of the truth about Zionism, are its solid apologetics. Andreev in the article refers to statements of "good" Zionists. And they do not bother to think about the thoughts of Lenin on the false and reactionary Zionist ideas about "special Jewish people" and "the need for Jewish separateness", which are harmful and contrary to the interests of the proletariat, including the Jewish proletariat. (PSS., v. 8, p. . 74).
In his work "Critical Remarks on the National Question", Lenin insisted on the need for "an uncompromising struggle against the contamination of the proletariat with bourgeois nationalism, even the most refined. (PSS., v. 24, pp. 124) He writes: "Marxism is irreconcilable with nationalism, be it the most "fair", "clean", refined and civilized. Marxism advances in place of nationalism - internationalism, the merging of all nations in higher unity "(p.131).
Not useful for the author also is the article by Karl Marx "On the Jewish Question", where indeed the social ESSENCE OF ZIONISM is revealed.
Arguing with Bruno Bauer on the question of emancipation of Jews in Germany, Karl Marx wrote: "What is the secular basis of Judaism? Practical need, selfishness. What is the worldly cult of the Jew? Haggling. Who is his worldly God? Money. But in this case, the emancipation from haggling and money - hence, from practical, real Jewry - would be self-emancipation of our time. The organization of society, which would have the prerequisites of commercialism, and, consequently, the possibility of haggling eliminated – such organization of society would make the Jew impossible ... Thus, we find in Judaism a contemporary manifestation of the modern-day anti-social element, led to its current stage of historical development in which the Jews took in this bad direction, zealous participation. This element has reached a high stage of development at which it must necessarily disintegrate. The emancipation of the Jews in the endvalue is the emancipation of mankind from Jewry" (K. Marx and F. Engels, Collected Works, Vol. V. 1, pp. 408. Russian lang.)
Marx, one of the first, spoke of the significant impact of the Jews throughout the world. He cites the arguments of Bruno Bauer from the book "The Jewish question": "A Jew, who in Vienna is only tolerated, determines by his monetary authority, the fate of the whole empire. A Jew who may be disenfranchised in a small German state, decides the fate of Europe." And commenting on this passage with the words: "And this is not an isolated fact. The Jew emancipated himself in the Jewish manner, he emancipated himself not only because he had arrogated to himself the power of money, but also so that through him, MONEY has become a world power, and the practical Jewish spirit has become the practical spirit of Christian nations" (ibid., pp. 409).
Marx drew attention to the transformation of Judaism into the ideology of the Jewish bourgeoisie. "Jewishness could not develop further as a religion, because the world-view of practical demands, by its nature is limited and confined to a few strokes." "What is in itself the foundation of the Jewish religion? Practical need, egoism." "MONEY IS THE JEALOUS GOD OF ISRAEL, before whom there should be no other god. Money deprecates all the gods of Man from the heights, and turns them into commodities.” "The god of the Jews was made secular, became the world's god. The promissory note is the true god of the Jew. His god is just an illusory bill of exchange "(ibid., pp. 410).
In his work, "The Sacred Family, or Critique of Critical Criticism", Marx stresses that in the XIX century, the Jewish bourgeoisie began to occupy key positions in the capitalist world. "The fate of France is determined not in the offices of the Tuileries, not under the arches of the House of Peers, not even under the arches of the Chamber of Deputies, but on the Paris Stock Exchange. The real ministers are not Guizot and Gishatel, but Rothschild, Fould and other bankers. They control the Ministry and the Ministry is concerned about only those people who are loyal to the regime and those who benefit by it running in elections."
People would be better to understand state bodies of power do not have the reins of power in capitalist countries. True power is not with the politicians, but with CAPITAL. The capitalist buys the politicians in the same way as journalists and lawyers, villas on the Mediterranean coast or fashionable European yacht clubs are bought...
Of course, not every person finds it so easy to understand what Zionism really is. Under the conditions of imperialist globalization, international Jewish capital holds in its hands not only most of the transnational corporations, but most of the media. Any criticism of the ideology of Zionism and Zionist policy qualifies as ANTI-SEMITISM.
Fear of possible accusations of anti-Semitism makes even the other "bashful" (or cowardly) communist leaders say that the aggressive policies of Israel against the Palestinian Arab people, reminiscent of a genocide – is a topic which few Russian citizens (or British ones –K.C.) believe to be vibrant." When it comes to citizens-philistines, what can be taken from them? Besides their own stomachs, nothing ever interests them.
If the GENOCIDE which the Israeli racists have been subjecting the indigenous population of Palestine to for the past 60 years is not perceived by the Communists as their pain, then how can they be Communists. Communists – are internationalists.
Do we really not have the highest example of proletarian internationalism? The founder of the International Workingmen's Association, Karl Marx, held under the scrutiny the revolutionary situation in France in 1848 and kept in touch with the Paris Commune in 1871. After its defeat, it was at his house that many Communards found shelter.
For many years he had connections with the Russian revolutionaries Herman Lopatin and Vera Zasulich. He followed articles by Chernyshevsky and Flerovsky. In 1879 he intently studied Narodnik Danielson’s report sent to him on Russian financial policy for fifteen years. In his personal library were 115 titles of Russian books. Herzen read "Prisons and exile” in Russian in the original. He did not consider Russia to be "far far away" country ...
It was not from the Communist position, but an ordinary common sense position that made even former U.S. President Jimmy Carter describe Israel's policies as an "APARTHEID system, where two peoples occupy a land, but are separated from each other, and where the Israelis completely dominate and suppress by violence, depriving Palestinians of their basic human rights.”
Zionism is a terrible destructive force. In it are all the dogmas - false, unfounded and reactionary.
Who sees the “inextricable link of the Jews throughout the world"? None. Jews living in Russia, speak in Russian, many do not know any Hebrew or Yiddish. Jews in the U.S. are Americans. They speak English. French Jews do not utter a word of Hebrew. Assimilation has done its work. The Jews have no common territory, or single language.
Who today in his right mind accepts that "all Jews are brothers?” All Jews who are capitalists are enemies of the Jewish working people, like capitalists of any nationality are enemies of working people throughout the world. And this the ABC of Marxism.
Who, except the Zionists can accept the idea that Jews have some special "historical rights" to the "land of the Jewish ancestors? Yes, 700 years BC, that is almost 3,000 years ago there was a small kingdom of Judah, which then disappeared ... And now, when so much water has flowed, is there an Arab who has reconciled with the fact that he was forced to flee from the land where his ancestors lived, where he was born and raised?
So, what is Zionism? In the words of a Swedish journalist, a former Moroccan officer, Ahmed Rami - the voice of millions of Muslims all over the world. "ZIONISM is racism ... It is COLONIALISM ... It is IMPERIALISM ... It is the policy of repression and arrogance, as Zionist Israel has systematically violated all the principles and resolutions of the UN ... Zionism in its practice is strikingly similar to APARTHEID "... (Http://radioislam.org/russ/rami/5.htm)
Communists have nothing against this assessment, though Ahmed Rami is far from the ideas of communism. He did not understand any of Marxism, nor the socialist revolution of 1917 in Russia.
The leader of theoretical and practical Zionism, Ze'ev (Vladimir) Jabotinsky's position of racism and colonialism openly deemed it NECESSARY to create a "national home" for Jews in Zion. He devoted his whole life to the development of Zionism, its defence and implementation. He did not accept the revolution in Russia in 1917. He advocated the "private economy", "private initiative” and private property. He rejected the class struggle, appealing for class peace and harmony. He believed the worker and the entrepreneur play the same role in the development of society. Whoever fights against private capital, is an enemy of the nation. He categorically disagreed with the slogan of the Communists - "Workers of all countries, unite!" The national was above the class.
He traveled to dozens of countries. In Russia and Poland, America and Germany, Britain and France - everywhere he campaigned passionately for Jews to leave everything and go to the "ancestral homeland". On the planet, everyone, Jews and non-Jews should understand that Eretz Yisrael (Israel) should be a Jewish state. The idea of a "Jewish majority" in the Promised Land was the motive of his life.
He preached the dogma - "EVERYTHING IS MINE", not agreeing even to admit that Arabs belong to at least three-quarters of the earth. "The Arabs must accept the situation as it is: the territory of Eretz Israel on both sides of the Jordan is intended for the Jewish state with a Jewish majority" - he said. (Joseph Nedava. Vladimir Jabotinsky: Milestones in life. Per. In Hebrew. Rostov-on-Don. 1998).
Back in 1908, he wrote that the creation of a Jewish state is the COLONIZATION of Arab lands. And it will lead to antagonism with the locals. History shows that the colonialists have never been met with open arms. The natives fiercely resisted in America, and will resist here. We must prepare for this. "Our country will be freed only by the sword" - he said.
The racist attitude of modern Israel is here in the words of Jabotinsky: "The settlement can only develop with the use of force, independent of the local population, protected by an iron wall that local people can not break ... We should not be afraid of the possibility that 900,000 people will leave the country "
Already in 1919 he created the organization of Jewish immigrants "Khagani" to "ensure the protection of settlers from the arbitrariness of the natives," as he called the indigenous Palestinian Arabs.
Later, speaking to young “Beitar”nationalists, he urged them to be "relentless", sung the praises of the "power of the fist" stood for "military training". "Learning to shoot" - he believed was a historical necessity. And did not cease to rejoice that he had saved the youth from the "red plague".
Later, out of the ranks of "Betar", the brainchild of Jabotinsky, rose bandit groups Etzel and Lehi, which after the adoption by the UN of the fateful decision to create the Jewish state of Israel in December 1947, began by terror to implement it.
They, 1 April 1948, in the village of Dir Yassin, massacred 245 unarmed Palestinians - men, women and children. The bodies were taken to a quarry and burned. Similar atrocities were committed in other towns. In 1948 alone, the Zionists had killed 100,000 Palestinians, both inside the country and abroad. The strangulation of the indigenous population of Gaza by continuing bombardments, blockades and starvation is still ongoing.
I do not know whether there was a Jewish Holocaust, but the Arabic holocaust today is there to see.
The ideas MILITARISM have become the driving spring of the aggressive policies of Israel. And terror has become its state policy.
The ideology and politics of Zionism naturally gives rise not only among Arabs but also among all freedom-loving humanity a feeling of protest and hatred of Israel, the occupiers and invaders.
Unfortunately, there is still no force that would be able to destroy Israeli fascism, as did the Red Army in World War II in the fight against German fascism. The Arab world is split. The international communist and workers' movement is riddled by opportunism and appeasement. There is no Communist International. The Communist Party of Israel is silent. Critical remarks by sane Jewish intellectuals in Europe and America in addressing Israeli barbarism are heard only neighbours on the couch by the TV ...
The military and political power of the Israeli and international Zionism can be withstood only by military and political force. Under the domination of the global imperialism, the only hope is for a global, well organized, national liberation and communist protest. The victory of the people in the liberation struggle in South Africa and the collapse of the apartheid regime inspires faith in the victory of the Palestinian people in the Middle East.

CLASS STRUGGLES IN CAPITALIST COUNTRIES

Chronicle produced by editorial of the newspaper "Hammer and Sickle” (Serp I Molot)


To save the trillions of dollars of European bankers and capitalists, the ruling circles of the capitalist countries since the beginning of this year, launched an attack on the social rights of workers.
The global economic crisis is not over. Since the beginning of spring this year, it has again demonstrated its brutal grip. Some countries of Western Europe are on the brink of bankruptcy. In Greece, the budget deficit amounted to 14% of the gross domestic product, its liabilities far exceeded the country's capacity to repay foreign loans. A similar situation exists in Spain and Portugal. The EU and the IMF quickly issued loans to euro area countries amounting to 750 billion euros, requiring them to reduce social spending and guarantees. Capital seeks to solve problems on the backs of working people.
In Western European countries, they have begun to reduce social spending, wages, pensions and benefits, alongside their subsequent pay freezing and mass dismissals.
The rise in unemployment, cuts in social rights, especially hurt the workers and employees of the public sector - teachers, doctors, aviators and railway workers, according to representatives of almost all categories of workers. Once again the working class is at the forefront of political struggle. On the appeals of unions, hundreds of thousands of people have been involved in nation-wide strikes and taken to the streets of cities in Greece, Spain, Portugal, France, Italy and other European countries. "In anticipation of the new reform, a response on the streets is vital. We, the workers are obliged to confront these measures. Always the same thing - people have to pay for the crisis, and we must resist this ", - say the demonstrators.


Here is a summary of the major class battles in the spring and early summer this year in Greece, Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Britain.
Greece was plunged into ongoing since the beginning of the year general strikes and demonstrations by workers and employees, which sometimes were accompanied by clashes with the police turning into real street fighting.

All air, rail, maritime communications, as well as public transport stopped working. Schools, universities and hospitals were closed. Among the strikers were air traffic controllers, port workers and coast guards, firefighters, bankers, garbage men, the judiciary and lawyers, the media, and in some cases police.

In Italy, on March 12 there was a mass workers' strike in protest against the government's economic policy. In the largest cities in the country overground and underground transport stopped working, there was a reduced number of flights, and cancellation of trains was announced. Maritime transport was disrupted. In addition to the employees of urban and interurban transport, the strike involved employees of state structures, banks, savings banks, pharmacies, schools and hospitals.

On June 12, thousands of Italians took to the streets in Rome to protest against the austerity measures proposed by the government. 100 thousand people took part in the action.

Mass strikes and manifestations by the working people, starting last Autumn, also affected Romania, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and other European countries.
With each passing day, militant resistance of the working class in all capitalist countries is growing. This dispels the myths of bourgeois capitalism's apologists and their sing-alongers - the revisionists, that in the capitalist countries there is no longer a working class and that it has lost its fighting qualities. Mass strikes and demonstrations in the spring and early summer of this year, rejects these assertions. And only the policy of "social partnership", conducted by the largest trade unions in Europe (which, under pressure from the workers and employees are forced to take action by the organizers of strikes), constrains the revolutionary energy of the masses.
Russian workers must take their cue from their class brothers abroad and move from local and fragmented actions to a nationwide political strike.
The general strike is a powerful weapon in the hands of the working class. The ruling class is afraid of nothing so much as a general political strike of workers, engineers, clerks, rallying the workers, fostering their class consciousness and fighting spirit, able to force the authorities to fulfil the demands of the people or to withdraw in shame, and acting as the main force of the revolutionary transformation of society – the socialist revolution, which alone has the power to abolish capitalism and to end all the misery and suffering of the working classes.

( FB-AUCPB Comment.. In fully agreeing with the above article of events, in Britain, we have also entered the age of harsh austerity. Instead of the IMF imposing austerity measures in return for loans or bailouts as in some other countries, we have Cameron and his Tory – Liberal cronies doing the job for the IMF. That is, imposing fierce austerity measures and swingeing cuts upon the working people who will have to bear the brunt and foot the bill for them under the cheap slogan “Big Society”. While the bankers are busy popping open their champagne bottles, “swallowing their pills at the same time” and “snorting their coke” in London’s Square Mile celebrating their recent profits, working and unemployed people have years of misery awaiting them, with the prospect of being thrown onto the streets, without a livelihood or home. We need to unify and resist the cuts and follow the Greek example….mass general strikes, week long ones if necessary, mass demonstrations and other militant actions on a continuous basis and force the Government to halt the cuts. The pro-Cameron populist slogan “Big Society” is nothing more than carving up, selling off to private companies, DIY private health care and education, botched services and more poverty for millions of people.

Together we can halt the process…together we can bury capitalism!
LET’S UNIFY! STRIKE! DEMONSTRATE! REVOLT! RIOT!
AND BLAST CAPITALISM FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH!

HUNDREDS OF FORGED HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN PLACED INTO THE RUSSIAN STATE ARCHIVES

In the second half of May 2010, State Duma Deputy Viktor Ilyukhin was approached by way of a confidential oral statement by one of the leading fabricators of the forged "letter by Beria №794/B" concerning this person’s personal involvement in the fabrication of the forged letter. After verification of the information received, V.I. Ilyukhin sent two official letters to the leader of the Communist Party faction in the Duma, G.A. Zyuganov:-

Dear Gennadiy Andreyevich!
I am informing you, as the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) faction in the Duma (Russian lower house of parliament), that on May 25, 2010, I received a call from an unknown person, who asked to meet with me. He said that he can provide information in connection with the investigation into the deaths of the Polish officers in Katyn. This meeting was held on the same day.
The unknown person gave me his name, and in the interests of his security I will not disclose it. He said that he has a direct bearing on the fabrication and forgery of archival documents, including the shooting of Polish prisoners.
From his statements it follows that in the early 1990-s, a group was set up and made up of senior experts on the forging of archival documents relating to important events of the Soviet period. The group worked within the Security Service of the Russian President Boris Yeltsin. Geographically, it was housed in the premises of the former summer residences (dachas) of employees of the Central Committee of the CPSU (Communist Party of the Soviet Union) in the village of Nagorny. The work by the group members was well paid, they received food parcels.
He, in particular, reported that they had fabricated a letter by L. Beria to the Politburo of the CPSU (b) from March 1940, in which he proposes the shooting of over 20 thousand Polish prisoners of war. He also demonstrated the mechanism for the forging of the signatures of Beria and Stalin (I enclose copies of the sheets). I do not rule out that the Polish government had also been given false documents on the so-called Katyn affair.
He said that his group fabricated a letter by Shelepin to Khrushchev on March 3, 1959. Col. Klimov took direct participation in the writing of the text.
According to him, in Nagorny the group was supplied with a necessary order, which could be a text for the document which they had to produce, or a text supplied to them to place into an existing archival document, or produce a text or text-signature of a public official.
According to his information, the group of individuals who worked on the semantic content of the draft texts allegedly included the former head of Rosarkhiv (Russian Archives) Pikhoya and Mikhail Poltoranin, closely linked to the first Russian president. G.Rogozin, First deputy head of Presidential Security was also named.
The group worked in the village of Nagorny until 1996, then it was moved to the locality of Zarechye.
He knows that employees of the 6-th Institute (Molchanov) of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces worked with archival documents in similar fashion.
He claims that, into the Russian archives in this period were placed hundreds of fake historical documents, and a same number of documents that had been falsified by putting distorted information into them, as well as forging signatures. In confirmation of this, the person has submitted a number of forms from the 1940-s, as well as fake impressions of stamps and signatures, etc. He has promised to submit additional materials. At the same time, he stated that he often has a feeling of irony at the public perception of certain archival documents as being valid, although the group of people "had a hand" in their falsification.
Dear Gennady Andreyevich, I think that this story does indeed have an ounce of truth in it. Let me refer to, for example, that Russian scientists, in particular, Doctor of Historical Sciences M. Meltyukhov have already proven “Lenin’s Testament” to be a falsification, along with documents relating to the abdication of Nicholas II along with other similar facts.
The question is more than important. It has to do with the utter discrediting of the importance of Russian archives where these documents are stored, and most importantly with the discrediting of our country's history.
Work on the study of this problem should continue, and we should bring our academic historians into this process.
I believe is still too early to put the issue before the Russian government.
Reported to you for your consideration.
V.I. Ilyukhin
26 May 2010

Dear Gennady Andreyevich!
In addition to my note of May 26, 2010, I hereby announce that I continue to liaise with the person who had declared his involvement in the falsification of archival documents relating to the Soviet period.
They were presented with, as he claims, archive case of Spetsfond (Special fund) № 29 Volume 7 "Correspondence by the NKGB - NKVD with the Central Committee of the CPSU (b) in the period from 02/01/1941 to 05/05/1941, “About Germany’s preparations for war against the USSR” (fund 9). The case is made up of 202 sheets of paper, bound on August 30, 1944. On the cover are the following notes: "Keep archived forever. Not subject to declassification".
In his statement, this archival work got into his hands in connection with his participation in the early 1990-s, in the work of a group of experts on forging historical documents. Access to archival materials for them was free. Many of the documents were brought to the village of Nagorny without any accounting and control over their movement. The receipt of the documents was not recorded and there were no obligations on how they were to be stored.
In the case, the 202 sheets of correspondence with Stalin, the memoranda of the leaders of the NKVD, NKGB of the USSR, Ukraine, border services, as well as some guidance notes really were bound. This volume was removed from the archive, according to the source, with one purpose, to put in it a prepared in the early 90-s memorandum on behalf of the People's Commissar of Defence of the USSR Marshal Timoshenko, the Chief of General Staff of the Red Army, General Zhukov. Architect of the memorandum was Major-General Vasilevsky.
The notes really are on the case sheets with serial numbers 0072-0081, marked "Top Priority", "Top Secret", dated March 11, 1941.
The notes provide an assessment of the political situation in Europe, with proposals to pay special attention to the defence of our (Soviet) western borders. It is noted that on the side of Germany in the war against the Soviet Union may be involved, Finland, Romania, Hungary and other allies of Hitler. A report is given of our military units in the West, with proposals for their reinforcement.
The source stated that in the same order, in the case was included yet another memorandum addressed to Stalin, signed by the same previously-mentioned persons on April 4, 1941 (№ 961), placed in the case under sequence numbers 0109-0115.
The note describes the numerical composition of the German troops deployed near the borders of the USSR. It suggests that Hitler might start a war against the Soviet Union "in the foreseeable future," the time of the start of the war "from the next two months to a year”. At the same time it proposes measures for the deployment of Soviet troops and waging war on enemy territory.
The source explained that these two forged documents (memoranda), to his knowledge, were prepared mainly by military experts of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, most likely, as he understood, to raise the credibility and relevance of the Joint Staff of the Red Army.
I shall give a different viewpoint.
In my opinion, the fakes were made with a view to further discredit Stalin, and it was done in line with that rabid propaganda campaign of slandering the Soviet leadership, which is very cynical and frankly was conducted in the early 90-s, and with sophistication continues today. The falsifiers of historical facts by content of the "memos" tried to instil the fact that Stalin was aware of the situation on the western borders of the USSR and about the actual preparations for an attack, but he simply ignored the opinion of the General Staff. That is why the Red Army and the country as a whole suffered such great losses in the first two years of war.
In support of my version about the possible legalization of false documents, I here inform you that the memo on March 11, 1941 was published in the Collection of Documents "Organs of State Security of the USSR in the Great Patriotic War”, Vol 1, Book Two, pp. 49-54, publisher A/O “Books and Business” Moscow 1995, published by the Academy of Federal Counterintelligence Service (now the FSB) of the Russian Federation
Communication with the source all the more reinforces my belief in the truth of much of his information about the falsification of documents on historical events of great importance, but I think by far, he has not spoken about many other false documents.
I think it is now appropriate to start drafting a formal statement of the Central Committee (Presidium) of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation on the falsification of archival historical documents.

DEDICATED TO TODAY'S MENSHEVIKS AND OPPORTUNISTS

Abstracts from lectures by Stalin “ON THE FOUNDATIONS OF LENINISM"(Works, vol.6)

"... By whom and where has it been proven that the parliamentary form of struggle is the main form of struggle of the proletariat? Does not the history of the revolutionary movement show that the parliamentary struggle is only a school and help to organize the outside-parliamentary struggle of the proletariat, that the main issues of the labour movement under capitalism are solved by force, by the direct struggle of the proletarian masses, their general strike, their revolt? "
"The dictatorship of the proletariat can not arise as a result of the peaceful development of bourgeois society and bourgeois democracy - it can only arise as a result of breaking the bourgeois state machine, the bourgeois army, the bourgeois bureaucracy, bourgeois politics."
“The deadly sin of the II International was not that it overestimated the importance of these forms (parliamentary forms of struggle - editor.), considering them almost the only forms, but when the period came for open revolutionary struggles and the question of outside-parliamentary forms of struggle became primary, the parties of the II International turned away from these new challenges and did not adopt them."
"For the reformist, the reform is everything - revolutionary work is not so important, it’s for conversation, a diversion. Therefore, the reform in the reformist tactics in the conditions of bourgeois rule inevitably becomes an instrument of strengthening that authority and into an instrument of contraction of the revolution. For the revolutionary though, on the contrary, the main thing is revolutionary work, and not reform – for him, reforms are a by-product of revolution. Therefore, the reform with revolutionary tactics in the conditions of bourgeois rule, of course, becomes an instrument of break-up of this power and an instrument for strengthening the revolution, a base for further development of the revolutionary movement.
The revolutionary accepts a reform in order to use it as an aid in combining legal and illegal work, in order to use it as a cover for illegal work for the revolutionary preparation of the masses for the overthrow of the bourgeoisie.
This is the essence of revolutionary use of reforms and agreements in the conditions of imperialism.
The reformist, on the contrary, will accept reforms in order to renounce all illegal work and to undermine the work of preparing the masses for revolution under the cover (bestowed) of reform. This is the essence of reformist tactics."
"Defending the II International against attacks, Kautsky says that the parties of the II International are an instrument of peace rather than war and that is why they were not able to do anything serious in the war, in the period of revolutionary actions by the proletariat. That is quite true. But what does this mean? This means that the parties of the II International were unfit for the revolutionary struggle of the proletariat, that they are not militant parties of the proletariat leading the workers to power, but an election machine adapted for parliamentary elections and the parliamentary struggle. Actually, this explains the fact that during the dominance of opportunists in the II International, the main political organization of the proletariat was not a party, but a parliamentary faction.”
"To think that new tasks can be performed by the forces of the old social-democratic parties brought up in the peaceful environment of parliamentarism – means to condemn oneself to hopeless despair and inevitable defeat."
"The party must stand in front of the working class, it must see further than the working class, it must lead the proletariat, and not drag along behind in the wake of spontaneity.”
"The working class without a revolutionary party – is an army without a headquarters. The Party is the headquarters of the proletariat.”

(Comment….this is something the communists in Britain needs study and to act on.


RECORD OF THE LABOUR MOVEMENT IN RUSSIA
(June 25 - July 15, 2010)

At Volkswagen, welders refused to work

On June 25 at 14:00, the welders in the body shop, in accordance with Article 379 of the Russian Labour Code, refused to perform work in connection with the threat to their lives and health, reports the press service of the MPRA.
On this day, thermometers installed in the coachwork shop, recorded a temperature of over 31° C, in some areas over 32° C.
The fact of the high temperature was recorded as an act of violation of labour protection requirements, but the immediate supervisor of the workers - the section chief Fitsukov refused to sign it. At the same time, engineer on health and safety S. Osipov assured the workers that the thermometer readings did not correspond to reality. In his words, the real temperature in the shop, which is recorded by electronic sensors did not exceed 28 ° C. He provided management with this figure, but the workers did not succumb to the exhortations and threats by head Fitsukov, and refused to work.
In turn, management in negotiations with union representatives of MPRA over the incident referred to earlier agreements with the union that in the case of excess air temperature above 28 ° C, the employees were entitled to a paid break - 5 minutes of every working hour. In response, union representatives took a hard line, indicating that the refusal to work was because of the threat to life and health and is a legitimate right of the workers themselves, and no agreement could change that or worsen it. Workers themselves are free to decide whether or not to refuse to work in the event of a threat to their lives and health, and the union should not persuade them to start working if such a threat actually exists.
Meanwhile, during negotiations, the workers of the body shop, not yielding to the threats of the authorities, successfully stood their ground until the end of the day.

Employees at Petrovsky distillery have suspended their hunger strike

In the village of Petrovsky in Ivanovo region from 28 June to Friday 1 July, 30 workers at the main distillery enterprise were on hunger strike. They demanded the repayment of wages arrears, reported IA "ICD".
There are currently pay arrears to workers at Petrovsky distillery amounting to about 20 million rubles. In 2009, the entire workforce was sacked – 1200 people. After that, about 350 people were again employed. Workers were forced to take an extreme measure - a hunger strike.
They set up at the plant five tents and began a hunger strike. The workers shouted “"OST” Group to account", "We are not slaves!".
On Wednesday June 30, the governor of the region, Mikhail Men visited them. With him involved in the negotiations were leadership of the regional Duma, heads of districts and shareholders of the plant.
