If you relied on the monopoly media for your knowledge of World War II then you would be swamped by images of D-Day, Dunkirk or Pearl Harbour.
In May 1945 the Soviet army took the surrender of vanquished Nazi Germany. Thus the war in Europe ended. The Soviet people intially tasted victory in the defence their homeland in the battle for Stalingrad, in February 1943. Seven months of unrelenting battle against the Axis forces of Germany, Italy, Hungary and Romania turned the tide of war. Seventeen months later the U.S. , British and Canadians landed in France.
Over 25 million Soviet people perished in the war as victims and in active combat. Yet their sacrifice is hidden under the avalanche of US cultural and political propaganda that swamps us in movies, commentary, press articles and school syllabuses.
In his article, Andre Vltchek sets out an alternative view and presents serious arguments about past historical smears and examines present day propaganda.
The role of the Soviet Union against the Japanese in North Asia, is little known too. In August 1939, after six years of aggression in Manchuria and cross border skirmishes into Mongolia. The Japanese and their puppet Manchukuo army suffered serious defeat inflicted by joint forces of the Mongolian army and the Soviet army under General Zhukov at Khalkhin Gol on the Mongolian/ Chinese border. The Japanese decided to sign a cease fire and later a neutrality pact with the Soviet Union. With their eastern borders secure, the Soviet leaders could turn their attention to the greater looming threat of Nazi Germany in the west.
