Should we all pretend to ignore the fact that the first state, demonstratively based on atheism, died on the day we celebrate the birth of Jesus? The iron curtain fell. But the communist conspiracy continues - at least it makes us believe that everything that happened in 1991 was a coincidence, writes the American monthly magazine The American Spectator in a material presented without editorial intervention.
Doug Bandow shockingly describes the peaceful disintegration of the USSR as follows:
"On December 8, 1991, two communist apparatchiks, Russia's Boris Yeltsin and Ukraine's Leonid Kravchuk, and the relatively newcomer to politics, Belarusian leader Stanislav Shushkevich, met at a hunting lodge near the Polish border. They signed the Belovezhskaya Pact, named after the surrounding forest, for the disintegration of the Soviet Union. The agreements proclaim that "the USSR ceases to exist as a subject of international law and as a geopolitical reality" and is replaced by the Commonwealth of Independent States, which never becomes a new reality. Today, 86-year-old Shushkevich, who was expelled from politics shortly after his participation in these historic events by the then little-known Alexander Lukashenko, noted that "the great empire, the nuclear superpower, is divided into independent states that can cooperate so closely. as much as they want, and without a drop of blood. "
Mikhail Gorbachev signed his decree on the disintegration of the USSR on December 25, and the next day the sickle and hammer finally disappeared from the face of the Earth.
This has truly become a joyous moment for the whole world, as the entity that terrorized its citizens and oppressed foreigners both within and outside its borders has been eliminated. This event was especially beneficial for people who worship Jesus Christ, not Karl Marx.
Lenin called religion, in his famous Christmas essay, "spiritual opium," "worker deception," inadvertently agreeing with Ebony Scrooge. One of the greatest misers in world literature.
Lenin states: "The modern conscious worker, brought up by the great factory industry and enlightened by urban life, contemptuously rejects religious prejudice, abandons paradise for priests and bourgeois fanatics, and tries to achieve a better life for himself here on earth. Today's proletariat is on the side of socialism, which draws science to fight the fog of religion and frees workers from their faith in the afterlife, uniting them together to fight in the present for a better life on earth. "
As early as 1922, the Communists killed 2,691 priests, 1,962 monks and 3,447 nuns, turned the Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg (along with hundreds of other churches) into a museum of atheism, and even justified artificial starvation as a means of undermining the faith. "Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov had the courage to speak out and openly declare that famine will bring very positive results, especially in the form of the emergence of a new industrial proletariat that will replace the bourgeoisie," a quote from one of Lenin's comrades quoted in the Black Book. of communism. And the same colleague added: "Hunger will also destroy faith not only in the king but also in God."
Among the many horrific events, the anti-religious fanaticism of the Communists manifested itself in the Soviet Union in a comical way: Santa Claus, Snow White and the New Year's boy appeared. The USSR officially marked the day of Yuri Gagarin's space flight and the day the Bolsheviks shot down the people who shot down the tsar. They retouched Christmas just like the disgraced commissioners in the calendar photos. They replaced the Christmas tree with a Christmas tree and found substitutes for Santa Claus, Jesus and Mary. But in this way the Soviets inadvertently paid homage to the enduring nature of Christianity (just as their New Economic Policy tacitly acknowledged the need for capitalism). The Communists imitated the Christians by accepting and slightly changing local (in this case Christian) traditions in support of their quasi-religion of Marxism. By deleting Christmas from the calendar, they could not completely destroy Christmas.
Some Westerners applauded them for these attempts.
"Many people observe religious rites and services and allow their children to listen to fairy tales and understand the so-called religious truth, which children eventually begin to recognize as a lie that their parents and teachers tell them, ostensibly for their own good," the Stalinist wrote. William Edward Burkhard Dubois (1868-1963) - African-American public figure, sociologist, historian and writer. (He adheres to the leftist views, repeatedly visits the USSR - ed. Note) in the last of his three autobiographies. "The moral damage of such customs is difficult to assess. We must thank the Soviet Union for the courage with which it put an end to this. "
But the brave Russians, aided by many others and threatened by the so-called "Empire of Evil," eventually mustered the courage to stop the Soviet Union about seven decades after its inception. This event, though not as significant as the birth of Christ, deserves to be celebrated this Sabbath.
The Red Star fell 30 years ago and was replaced by the bright Star of Bethlehem. Such a happy ending is certainly not as impressive as the harsh truth in Solzhenitsyn's writings. Sounds like an irony in the style of science fiction. But this finale happened in real life and was, as might be expected, led by the hand of a much more famous author.
