All Trought about politic at Ukraine

September 1, 1939, Adolf Hitler attacked Poland ... Thus began the Second World War. A week before this notorious document was signed between the two modes, known in history as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, which (with the Soviet side) "blessed" fascist attack on the "Slavic brothers". As today relate to this event its former members? This is why we asked the experts.

Vladimir V'yatrovych, SBU, Candidate of Sciences (Ukraine):

In Russia it is said that Hitler was not guilty, and Poland

Today in Russia there is rehabilitation of Stalinism, including the issue of the Second World War. Demonstrated that a large number psevdoistorychnyh work, which substantiates the need for signing the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the Soviet Union. They are talking about what started World War II because of its own in Poland, which was not quite ready to meet moderate, as written in these works, the requirements of Nazi Germany.

Today, those historical research that began in Russia in 90 years, which objectively and in detail revealed in the war the Soviet Union, were somewhere in the margin. Instead of dominating those who justify the Stalin regime.

Poland considers herself event 1939-1941 years as an aggression against it by two countries - the Third Reich and the Soviet Union. They signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and became the beginning of this war, and Poland - the first victim of international aggression by two totalitarian regimes. In fact, Poland was the first country to commit this armed resistance.

I think the war was so bloody and violent that the parties were guided not only will take someone else's territory, and imposed a completely new life, their own rules. Moreover, this war was used to kill representatives of another nation. Let us remember the Holocaust, as well as a plan "Ost" against the Slavs ...

This war should never happen again. No goals can not justify the means which were used during the Second World War.

Remembrance of the war should not zobrazhatysya as a triumph that is now in Russia, but as the tragedy of all peoples. It should be a warning of what might happen if the establishment of totalitarian regimes.

In turn, this war has shown that the Soviet government - totalitarian government that wants to destroy everything Ukrainian. In Western Ukraine had no illusions about the liberating nature of the Soviet authorities, who returned there in the 44 th. People understand that after approval of the authorities at the Ukrainian population expected repression, deportation, and that eventually was put into practice.

Jan Pieklo, chairman of the foundation of the Polish-Ukrainian cooperation PAUCI (Poland):

UNION Hitler-Stalin frightened England and France

Unfortunately, all this time in the USSR and then Russia right Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact shy ignored.

During the war was considered the date when Hitler attacked the Soviet Union. If Russia wants its perceived partner of the EU and the Western democracies, it should review the origins of the Second World and exposing Stalin's alliance with Hitler, who actually led to the division and liquidation of the Polish state.

Poles look at history through the prism of its own past and remember well once Prussia, Russia and Austria rozbyraly Poland. Soviet-German pact was for them to confirm that the old threat is urgent, and any German-Russian «convergence» regarded with great suspicion and concern.

Most Poles country's liberation by the Red Army and the establishment of communist governments in Poland perceives as a new occupation. Freedom was restored only after the overthrow of the communist regime.

Polish society, despite its difficult history, has a strong historical memory. Introduction of Soviet troops in Poland September 17, 1939 people perceive as a blow to the back of Poland, which was the first country to start war against fascism. You can seriously think about how to be military action took place, if Stalin did not supported Hitler ...

France and England were not ready for war, and Hitler-Stalin alliance frightening them even more. Western policy could not imagine how to resist such a force. They, incidentally, is the moral responsibility for the concession to Hitler in Munich and later to Stalin in Yalta.

We're working hard to bring lasting peace and will never allow another such conflict. Serves this purpose the concept of the European Union and Franco-German and Polish-German rapprochement. If Russia eventually will honestly and critically review their recent history, it is possible and the Polish-Russian rapprochement, which opens the way to greater stability in this part of Europe.

Soviet propaganda created myths about the extraordinary role of the Soviet Union in World War II. Without the enormous financial support and supply of military equipment from the United States the Soviet Union would be very difficult to win the war. Of course, you can not question the heroism of Soviet soldiers in mind however, that Stalin's regime rahuvavsya of human dignity and human life. Actually, why so many Soviet citizens died in that war.

Igor Chubais, Doctor of Philosophy, Director of the Center of Russia (Russia):

In the War of the day killed 5 thousand, but during the famine - 20 thousand

Soviet power was totalitarian power. When it was impossible to tell the truth. Dominant ideology, which had a single purpose - to prove the correctness of communism. Therefore, after the collapse of the Soviet Union faced a new understanding of what happened in the twentieth century, that was a World War II. The process of rethinking in the Baltic countries, Ukraine is continuing. For Russia, our government is trying to preserve the old totalitarian world map, created in the twentieth century ... Several scientists - their little bit - trying to build a more objective, truthful, realistic card.But the faces on the opposition Conservatives.

Generally the concept «World War II» and the whole tragedy of this war - this is only part of the Second World War. It began not June 22, 1941, and September 1, 1939 th.

Stalin almost two years was an ally of Hitler, and almost four years since he fought.

September 1, 1939 is certainly a tragedy for Poland, moreover, that we often say that the defeat of Poland was provided. Maybe so, because Hitler's plans for the capture of Warsaw were not performed at that time, which was initially defined. Fascists have enough strength to pokorennya Poland, September 17 and join the war the Soviet Union was the main factor that contributed to the loss of Polish independence.

Redefining inevitable. Anyone who tries to keep the old picture, standing two feet in the past.

The war, of course, was bloody and violent ... In the midst of World munitions killed about five thousand people and say, during the famine in Ukraine died twenty thousand people ...What was more bloody? .. A huge number of sacrifices made by the Soviet authorities during the World - has proved one of the absolute failure of the Soviet system. So Stalin - not win commander, he is responsible for the deaths of 27 million of their compatriots.

United States, who also actively participated in the Second World War, lost only 340 thousand people.

In order to present a true picture of war, we should talk more about the victims of the Soviet Union. Yes, the victims ... For often talk about a decisive contribution to the victory of the Soviet Union ... Soviet Union brought a decisive sacrifice, and this "contribution," said Khrushchev in his memoirs, which we had published only two years ago. However, circulation - all three thousand copies ... In these memoirs, Khrushchev referred to the surprisingly candid conversation with Stalin about the war. Khrushchev said that Stalin once confessed that without the decisive role of the United States and England winning the Red Army would have been impossible. Red Army would be lost in this war ...

I think that the victim, who sustained your nation - superstrashni huge ...

Is today appreciated the role of the United States in the war? Yes and no ... the one hand, the picture of war, characterized by different countries in different ways. I just returned from London - there discussing this topic. Normal Englishman knows the bad part of the Soviet Union in the war. He knows that England began in 1939 and 45 th win. For constant threat of bombings in England navysala German aircraft, landing of German troops, and they opposed this. That is, each country has its own picture of the war ...

Participation in the war with England, but the role of the United States for us was defining ..We must recognize that in a very difficult days, we received assistance from this country.Certainly, it had its own national interests. It would be anomalous if America worked against their interests. But then the interests coincided ... Only strong people can admit the truth, nothing to hide.

There is a formula which expressed a French philosopher: the past never goes, it is not even past. That our history is present, we have seen today. Only zoriyentuvavshys correctly received, the correct picture, you can move forward, to adequately correct vybudovuyuchy strategy.

While we do not understand who our friends and who enemies ... Unfortunately, the situation in which Russia is, shows that its enemy - and their power. With such power, we can not hope for a bright future.
