The countries of Russia and the USA were established under completely different circumstances. The USA was founded by individuals who were entirely independent of one another and knowledgeable about Greco-Roman democracy. I’ve always admired how presidential and other elections are conducted there. Unfortunately, we’ve never had real elections in our country. Most likely, it has always been a political game.

I lived under socialism for 61 years and served in the Soviet army for 30 years, in various republics of the Soviet Union, and for a year in Cuba. There, I saw firsthand what the enlightened Americans had turned Cuba into and how the Anglo-Saxons treated the natives of the conquered territories. I witnessed how, in our brotherly republics, the Russian people helped the nations of the allied republics to develop industry, agriculture, science, culture, medicine, and more. I saw the great friendship of peoples during the Great Patriotic War. The collapse of the Soviet Union was a tragedy, not only for the peoples of the USSR. Unfortunately, in all the former Soviet republics, Nazism and fascism have flourished, including in Russia. Thank you.

Also, the collapse of the Soviet Union was a tragedy not only for the peoples of the USSR but for many others as well. Thank you for your opinion.

I understand these critical remarks. They are made by people who do not know the history of Russia and the peoples within the Russian Empire. Do you know the relationship between Poles and Russia? Without Russia, many peoples of the Caucasus would have perished. It is important to know history from different perspectives. Thank you for your opinion.

Thanks! I will try to do so in the following articles.

The introduction of the institution known as ‘political workers’ is associated with Trotsky. When creating the Red Army, there was distrust toward the command staff because officers were mostly from former privileged classes. They were initially called ‘commissars’ and had equal rights with commanders. Later, they became political deputies to the commanders, known as ‘political workers.’ Their main task was the political education of the personnel in companies, battalions, regiments, divisions, and so on. This education took various forms and methods, not limited to lectures alone. The work was quite complex and diverse. It would take me several days to describe the organization of party-political work during combat duty in the country’s air defense forces. I served as a political worker from 1958 until 1981, from senior lieutenant to colonel, in various locations across the country, including Cuba and the Far North. It was standard officer service, nothing extraordinary. I believe I’ve answered your question.

Hello! Thank you for your interest! I post my grandfather’s articles, so I pick up the pictures myself. I think that picture on the 1st part looked really stupid. I’m thinking of changing it so as not to alienate people.

Thanks!

I was born in 1930. Many people say that an old person сan’t post articles. I agree. My grandson helps me put it on the Internet.

I already posted this article, but it was deleted :( I’m sorry if I’m doing something wrong
