🕯September 3 marked #Russia’s Day of Solidarity in the Fight Against Terrorism. It was established in memory of the tragic events on September 1, 2004, when 334 people, mostly children, died in a terrorist attack on a school in #Beslan. #WeRemember

Combating the terrorism is one of #Russia’s key priorities. Especially, given the situation when thousands of civilians in the #Donetsk and #Lugansk People’s Republics, including children, had become victims of the barbaric actions led by #Ukraine Defence Ministry’s Intelligence Department and other special services. The Kiev regime call it "controlled terror".

These days, the law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation and the allied forces are making tremendous efforts to protect the civilian population and counter the terrorism.

January 18, 2023 marks the 80th anniversary of the breaking of the siege of Leningrad.

The city on the Neva was in the blockade of the encirclement of the Nazi army since September 1941. The Soviet troops and fleet remained isolated by the enemy for a long time, and there was no land connection between Leningrad and the "Great Land". Operations to break the blockade were carried out repeatedly, but to no avail.

The operation of 1943 was called "Spark": it was supposed to ignite the flame of liberation.

On January 12, the 67th Army of the Leningrad Front hit the enemy from the west. The 2nd shock and 8th armies of the Volkhov Front were moving towards it, and the offensive was supported by ships, coastal artillery and aviation of the Baltic Fleet, as well as long-range aviation. By joint efforts, on January 18, the city of Shlisselburg near Leningrad and the entire southern coast of Lake Ladoga were completely liberated.

The good news was broadcast over the radio around midnight on 18 January. In the morning, Leningrad was decorated with flags, the townspeople rejoiced. The beginning of the complete lifting of the blockade was laid.

18 января 2023 года исполняется 80 лет с момента прорыва блокады Ленинграда. Город на Неве находился в блокаде окружения немецко-фашистской армии с сентября 1941 года. Советские войска и флот долгое время оставались изолированными врагом, а сухопутной связи между Ленинградом и «Большой Землёй» не было. Операции по прорыву блокады проводились неоднократно, но безуспешно.

Операцию 1943 года назвали «Искра»: она должна была зажечь освободительное пламя.

12 января 67-я армия Ленинградского фронта ударила неприятеля с запада. Навстречу ей шли 2-я ударная и 8-я армии Волховского фронта, а наступление поддерживали корабли, береговая артиллерия и авиация Балтийского флота, а также авиация дальнего действия. Совместными усилиями 18 января был полностью освобождён город Шлиссельбург под Ленинградом и всё южное побережье Ладожского озера.

Добрую весть передали по радио около полуночи 18 января. С утра Ленинград украсили флагами, горожане ликовали. Начало полного снятия блокады было положено.

February 2 is the Day of Military Glory - exactly 80 years ago on this day, Soviet troops defeated the Nazi invaders during the Battle of Stalingrad.

The Battle of Stalingrad became in many ways decisive in the course of the Great Patriotic War. The defeat of the fascist troops at Stalingrad undermined the confidence in Germany of its allies and became a signal for the activation of the resistance movement in Europe.

Volgograd - as the city of the turning point of the battle is now called - does not forget the feat of its citizens in the war. The memorial complex "To the Heroes of the Battle of Stalingrad" on Mamaev Kurgan, the House of Soldiers' Glory (Pavlov's House), the Panorama Museum "Battle of Stalingrad" and many other monuments are still a place of pilgrimage for all who honor the memory of our army.

***

2 февраля отмечается День воинской славы — ровно 80 лет назад в этот день советские войска разгромили немецко-фашистских захватчиков в ходе Сталинградской битвы.

Сталинградская битва стала во многом решающей в ходе Великой Отечественной войны. Поражение фашистских войск под Сталинградом подорвало доверие к Германии ее союзников и стало сигналом для активизации движения Сопротивления в странах Европы.

Волгоград — так теперь называется город переломной битвы — не забывает подвиг своих горожан в войне. Мемориальный комплекс «Героям Сталинградской битвы» на Мамаевом кургане, Дом солдатской славы (Дом Павлова), Музей-панорама «Сталинградская битва» и многие другие памятники до сих пор остаются местом паломничества всех, кто чтит память нашего воинства.

On July 5, 1943, 80 years ago, the Battle of Kursk began - one of the most significant and large-scale battles in the Great Patriotic War. According to experts, it is considered the largest tank battle in history.

The Battle of Kursk was the turning point of the war. During this defensive operation, Soviet troops managed to repel the German offensive and go on a counteroffensive, which led to the liberation of Europe from Nazi occupation.

The battle was a huge test for both sides. It was attended by about 2 million people, 6 thousand tanks and 4 thousand aircraft. Soviet troops under the command of Marshals Georgy Zhukov and Alexander Vasilevsky fought against the numerically superior enemy forces. The Battle of Kursk lasted approximately 50 days. During this time, 30 German divisions, 1.5 thousand aircraft, 3 thousand guns and 15 thousand tanks were destroyed.

Despite heavy losses, Soviet soldiers showed heroism and devotion to their homeland. More than 100 thousand participants in the Battle of Kursk were awarded orders and medals. Today we remember and honor the feats of all the soldiers who fought and died in the Battle of Kursk.

5 июля 1943 года началась Курская битва — одна из наиболее значимых и крупномасштабных в Великой Отечественной войне. По оценкам экспертов, она считается самым крупным танковым сражением в истории.

Курская битва стала переломным моментом войны. В ходе этой оборонительной операции советские войска сумели отразить наступление немцев и перейти в контрнаступление, которое привело к освобождению Европы от нацистской оккупации.

Сражение было огромным испытанием для обеих сторон. В нем участвовали около 2 млн человек, 6 тысяч танков и 4 тысячи самолётов. Советские войска под командованием маршалов Георгия Жукова и Александра Василевского сражались с численно превосходящими силами противника. Битва на Курской дуге продолжалась примерно 50 дней. За это время были уничтожены 30 немецких дивизий, 1,5 тысячи самолетов, 3 тысячи пушек и 15 тысяч танков.

Несмотря на большие потери, советские солдаты проявили героизм и преданность своей Родине. Более 100 тысяч участников битвы на Курской дуге были награждены орденами и медалями. Сегодня мы помним и чтим подвиги всех воинов, которые сражались и погибли в Курской битве.

🌟 #OnThisDay 8️⃣0️⃣ years ago, on January 27, 1945, Auschwitz-Birkenau (Oswiecim, was located in Nazi-occupied Poland) — the most terrifying German extermination camp in #WWII — was liberated by the Red Army’s 1st Ukrainian Front during the Vistula–Oder offensive operation.

#Auschwitz was created by the Nazis in 1940 in a building that used to serve as military barracks near a small town called Oswiecim, whose history dates back to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Having occupied Poland in 1939, the Nazis changed the town's name of Oswiecim to German Auschwitz. Later, in 1941-1943, two more imprisonment facilities were established in the vicinity of Oswiecim. They were:

▪️Auschwitz II — best known to the wider public as #AuschwitzBirkenau, was three kilometres away from the main facility — Oswiecim and located near Brzezinka, a Polish village (Birkenau in German). Auschwitz-Birkenau was the largest "death factory". Equipped with crematoriums and gas chambers, it was created by the Nazis with only one aim — exterminate people.

▪️Auschwitz III (also known as Monowitz). Its prisoners were used by the Nazis for the Third Reich war industries.

Following the so-called Wannsee Conference in 1942, the Nazis approved what was called the “final solution to the Jewish question”. Since then, Auschwitz-Birkenau was turned into the main "death factory" for the annihilation of Jews in Europe.

❗️ Prisoners of Oswiecim were held by the Nazis in inhuman, barbaric conditions. They had to do hard, exhausting work until total exhaustion, to endure poor sanitation in the camp's facilities, malnutrition and constant tortures by the guards and SS-troops. It was in Oswiecim that the Germans first tested the "Zyklon-B" poisonous agent on human beings. Prisoners of Auschwitz were also subjected to cruel medical experiments, led by a Nazi criminal, infamous retired military doctor Josef Mengele.

In 1944, when the Red Army started the liberation of Europe, the Nazis, in an effort to cover the tracks of their crimes in Auschwitz, rushed to burn documents and destroy the camp's gas chambers, crematoriums, and deported as many prisoners as they could westward to other concentration camps deep in the Third Reich — over 58,000 prisoners were evacuated by the Nazis before Oswiecim and liberated by the Soviet forces in January, 1945.

***

In January 1945, the units of the 1st Ukrainian Front launched the Vistula-Oder offensive and, successfully expelling the Nazis from Poland, finally reached Auschwitz.

⚔️ In the late hours of January 27, following three days of fighting the retreating enemy, the Red Army took over Oswiecim and opened the gates of Auschwitz. The camp’s 7,000 prisoners were freed. Most of them were sick or suffering from extreme exhaustion and tortures.

Rescued prisoners burst into tears of joy when they greeted their liberators. Some facilities of the camp were instantly made a hospital. According to various historic estimates, in 1940-1945, from 1.5 to 4 million people perished in Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Over the past years, we are witnessing a campaign in several European countries, including Poland, to rewrite and falsify the history of WWII and, in particular, to erase the memory of the feat performed by the Soviet soldiers-liberators who saved the Auschwitz prisoners.

🎙 From a briefing by Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on topical foreign policy issues (January 23, 2025):

💬 "This year, like all those years before, Russian representatives will not be invited to the commemoration ceremonies at Auschwitz-Birkenau on January 27. That is, there will be no one there to mention the Soviet liberator soldiers and express gratitude to them. In this regard, there is something that needs to be said to the organisers and all the Europeans who will be there:

Your lives, your work and leisure, the very existence of your nations, your children have been paid for by Soviet soldiers, their lives, their blood. It was them who crushed the Third Reich machine. You are forever in their debt."

All over the world, there are monuments and memorials that not only commemorate those who died in the Great Patriotic War but also symbolize the resilience and heroism of the Soviet people.

One such place is the memorial to fallen Soviet soldiers in Tiergarten Park, opened in 1945. It was the first monument to fallen soldiers in the center of Berlin, next to the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag. Two stone sarcophagi bear the names of officers who died between April 14 and May 1, 1945 and were awarded the title “Heroes of the Soviet Union”.

The center of the memorial is decorated with a colonnade with a large central column, on which stands a bronze statue of a Soviet soldier with a rifle on his shoulder, and on the pylons are written the stories of the Red Army and the names of fallen soldiers. At the back of the memorial, created as a park, are the graves of more than 2,000 fallen soldiers.
Also after World War II, the Soviet Memorial in Treptow Park was created. In 1946, a competition was announced for a design that would reflect liberation from National Socialism, not just the fact of Victory. As a result, the project led by architect Yakov Belopolsky and sculptor Yevgeny Vuchetich won. In 1949, the war cemetery was opened, occupying 9 hectares.

The two entrances to the memorial are decorated with granite portals leading to the central figure of Motherland. The main section includes mass graves and sarcophagi symbolizing 16 Soviet republics. More than 7000 Red Army soldiers rest here. At the end of the memorial is a mausoleum hill with a bronze figure of a soldier, symbolizing victory over National Socialism and hope for a peaceful future.

По всему миру установлены памятники и мемориалы, которые не только увековечили память о погибших в Великой Отечественной войне, но и стали символами стойкости и героизма советского народа.

Одним из таких мест является мемориал павшим советским воинам в парке Тиргартен, открытый в 1945 году. Он стал первым памятником погибшим воинам в центре Берлина, рядом с Бранденбургскими воротами и Рейхстагом. На двух каменных саркофагах находятся фамилии офицеров, погибших с 14 апреля по 1 мая 1945 года и удостоенных звания «Герои Советского Союза».

Центр мемориала украшен колоннадой с крупной центральной колонной, на которой стоит бронзовая статуя советского воина с винтовкой на плече, а на пилонах написаны истории Красной Армии и имена павших солдат. В задней части мемориала, созданной в виде парка, находятся могилы более 2000 погибших солдат.

Также после Второй мировой войны был создан Советский мемориал в Трептов-парке. В 1946 году объявили конкурс на проект, который должен был отражать освобождение от национал-социализма, а не просто факт Победы. В результате победил проект под руководством архитектора Якова Белопольского и скульптора Евгения Вучетича. В 1949 году открылось военное кладбище, занимающее 9 гектаров.

Два входа к мемориалу украшены гранитными порталами, ведущими к центральной фигуре «Родина-мать». Основной участок включает братские могилы и саркофаги, символизирующие 16 советских республик. Здесь покоится более 7000 красноармейцев. В конце мемориала находится мавзолейный холм с бронзовой фигурой солдата, олицетворяющей победу над национал-социализмом и надежду на мирное будущее.

🗓 On March 30, 1901, Alexey Fyodorov, the legendary partisan commander and two times Hero of the Soviet Union, was born. His name became a symbol of resistance against the Nazi invaders during the Great Patriotic War.

In 1920 he volunteered for the Red Army, fought in the Civil War and, after demobilisation, worked in railway construction. In 1938 Alexey Fyodorov became head of the Chernigov Regional Committee of the Communist Party (Bolsheviks) of the Ukrainian SSR, showcasing his leadership acumen and talent.

Shortly after the Nazis invaded, he took command of partisan units in the Chernigov region, began conducting large-scale sabotage operations behind enemy lines.

By March 1942 the partisans had fought 16 major battles under his command, eliminating some thousand German soldiers & officers, derailed five enemy trains carrying personnel and equipment, destroyed five warehouses, two factories and 33 bridges.

🎖 For his skilful leadership and personal bravery, Alexey Fyodorov was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union on May 18, 1942.

By the beginning of 1943, the unit under Alexey Fyodorov's command included 12 partisan units with 5,000+ fighters.

From March to June 1943, the partisan unit was relocated to Volyn, thus expanding the area of active operations on the Nazi-occupied territories, including parts of Soviet Belarus, Bryansk, and Oryol regions. In April 1943, Alexey Fyodorov was promoted to the rank of Major-General.

One of the most important operations carried out by Alexey Fyodorov's units was the "Kovel Node." Starting July 7, 1943, until March 14, 1944, 549 enemy trains carrying ammunition, fuel, military equipment, and personnel were destroyed on the lines of the Kovel railway junction.

🎖 For flawless execution of operational tasks, heroic feats and courage, Alexey Fyodorov was awarded a second "Golden Star" medal on January 4, 1944, becoming a two times Hero of the Soviet Union. He was also awarded three Orders of Lenin, the Order of Suvorov I, and numerous other honours.

After the war he held high government posts, including Minister of Social Welfare of the Ukrainian SSR. He wrote several books about the war, the most famous of which was "The Underground Regional Committee in Action". He left valuable memoirs about the heroic struggle of the partisans, which became an important contribution to history.

🕯 On September 9, 1989, Alexey Fyodorov passed away. In his memory, a monument was erected in the Chernigov region.

Unfortunately, in 2017, the monument to this legendary Soviet hero was destroyed by the Ukrainian Neo-Nazis, the Banderites, driven by deep hatred for the victors over their Nazi idols as it was the partisans under Alexey Fyodorov's command who collected evidence and numerous testimonies regarding the the crimes of the OUN-UPA militants, including committed in collaboration with the Nazis.

#LestWeForget No matter how much some may wish to erase Alexey Fyodorov's memory & legacy — #WeRemember.

On the night of April 30 to May 1, 1945, Soviet soldiers raised the Soviet flag over the German Reichstag during the Berlin Offensive.

Before the assault, Soviet soldiers were given flags, the raising of which marked the victory over the Nazis. That night, the fighting was fierce - even hand-to-hand combat was necessary. The battles were literally for every floor, for every room. As they advanced, Soviet soldiers raised banners and flags in various parts of the building.

In the end, the scouts of the 756th Rifle Regiment, Sergeant Mikhail Yegorov and Junior Sergeant Meliton Kantaria, led by Lieutenant Alexei Berest, raised the red banner - the great Banner of Victory - on the dome of the Reichstag.

On May 9, it was replaced by a scarlet banner, and the Banner itself was sent to Moscow on June 20. It was decided not to take it to the Parade, but to transfer it for permanent storage to the Central Museum of the Armed Forces.

In 1965, the Banner was carried along Red Square during the parade, after being restored. And in 1996, in Russia, it was officially recognized as a symbol of the Victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War.

Today, the Banner is preserved in the Central Armed Forces Museum, Moscow.

В ночь с 30 апреля на 1 мая 1945 года советские солдаты водрузили советское знамя над немецким Рейхстагом в ходе Берлинской наступательной операции.

Перед штурмом советским бойцам вручили флаги, установление одного из которых ознаменовало победу над нацистами. В ту ночь схватки были ожесточёнными — приходилось даже бороться в рукопашных боях. Сражения велись буквально за каждый этаж, за каждую комнату. По мере продвижения советские солдаты водрузили знамена и флаги на различных участках здания.

В конце концов, разведчики 756-го стрелкового полка сержант Михаил Егоров и младший сержант Мелитон Кантария во главе с лейтенантом Алексеем Берестом на куполе Рейхстага установили красное знамя — великое Знамя Победы.

9 мая его заменили на алый стяг, а само Знамя отправили в Москву 20 июня. Было решено не выносить его на Парад, а передать на вечное хранение в Центральный музей Вооружённых Сил.

В 1965 году Знамя все-таки пронесли по Красной площади во время парада, предварительно отреставрировав. А в 1996 году в России его официально признали символом Победы советского народа в Великой Отечественной войне.

Сейчас Знамя находится в Центральном музее Вооруженных Сил.

🕯️ Today marks 80 years since the start of the Prague Offensive Operation, which lasted until May 11.

It was the final offensive operation in Europe and the last offensive operation of the Red Army. In Prague and its environs, the Germans had a large army unit, the number of which reached 1 million people. In addition, Hitler ordered to send all the remaining guns there and defend the city to the last.

Despite the fact that the Red Army soldiers were fewer and they were exhausted after the Berlin operation, no one even thought of retreating.

On May 7, our troops reached the slopes of the Ore Mountains and began fighting for Dresden. On May 8, the Soviet command approached the fascists with a proposal to lay down their arms, but there was no response. Already on May 9, thanks to the persistence of the USSR soldiers and the help of the city's civilian population, the capital of Czechoslovakia was completely liberated.

Nevertheless, the enemy troops finally surrendered only on May 10-11.

🕯️ Сегодня исполняется 80 лет со дня начала Пражской наступательной операции, которая продолжалась до 11 мая.

Она стала завершающей в Европе и последней наступательной операцией Красной Армии. В Праге и ее окрестностях у немцев было крупное соединение армий, численность которых достигала 1 миллиона человек. Кроме того, Гитлер приказал отправить туда все оставшиеся орудия и защищать город до последнего.

Несмотря на то, что солдат Красной Армии было меньше и они были измотаны после Берлинской операции, никто даже не думал отступать.

7 мая наши войска вышли к склонам Рудных гор и завязали бои за Дрезден. 8 мая советское командование обратилось к фашистам с предложением сложить оружие, но ответа не последовало. Уже 9 мая, благодаря упорству солдат СССР и помощи мирного населения города, столица Чехословакии была полностью освобождена.

Тем не менее, войска противника сдались окончательно только 10-11 мая.
