Recollections: Russia and the World Wars
Open Letter to Various Recipients (29 August 1998)
I was born in 1915 in Jekaterynburg, Russia. My father had developed a lucrative business there, representing an American manufacturer and supplying Siberian factories with transmission belts and machinery.
World War I had begun in 1914. The war did not go well for Russia, which was not militarily or industrially prepared for this kind of conflict. There were not enough weapons for all the soldiers, ammunition of the wrong caliber was delivered to the wrong artillery units, and the transportation system started to break down under the pressure of supplying the armies. In many cases, generals and government ministers were simply incompetent. In other cases, especially where they were of German descent, they were suspected of deliberate sabotage and treason. The czar was advised to make peace with Germany before the situation got entirely out of control. He refused, because he had given his word of honor to the Western allies that he would not make a separate peace.
The Bolshevik revolution started in 1917. When the situation in Russia became too dangerous for a member of the "bourgeoisie," my father took my mother and me to Vladivostok, but returned immediately to Jekaterynburg to liquidate his business.
It was too late! The czar and his family had been shot. He had learned the following details: A navy-man, "matros" Siemionow, had been sent from Moscow with orders to liquidate the czar who, with his family, had been kept in a house which had belonged to father's good friend, engineer Kutiepow. After Siemionow had done what he had been sent for, the bodies of the czar and his family were taken to Kaptiaki, burned and then dumped into a mine shaft. (By the way, in Kaptiaki my father had once shot a small bear, a so-called murawik.)
My father wasted no time, but started immediately to return to Vladivostok. It so happened that "another passenger" on that train was Mr. Siemionow. From the compartment he occupied there soon came loud noises and shouts, and the conductor told my father that Siemionow was drunk. Shortly after that the conductor brought additional information: Siemionow had complained about "wozduchu niet" (meaning no air), had pulled out his revolver, and had shot out the windows in the compartment.
The situation in that territory was mixed: Around Jekaterynburg the Bolsheviks were in control, but in the vast hinterland there were still remnants of the White (czarist) Army. Apparently somebody at the train-station in Jekaterynburg had sent word to the White Army that Siemionow was traveling on this train, and they took action: When the train pulled into one of the stations, officers from the White Army entered the train, pulled Siemionow onto the terminal, and shot him.
Within a rather short time, the Bolsheviks had taken complete power and started to liquidate everybody who was against them.
From my father I know that the Bolsheviks brought ten thousand members of the Russian White Army to the sea, put them on ships, attached heavy weights to their feet, and threw them into the water. A man who later dived at that particular spot was pulled to the surface. He was completely crazed from the view of thousands of dead bodies standing upright in the water, swaying in the movement of the sea!
The old Russia as we knew it had ceased to exist!
World War I ended in November 1918, and the map of Europe changed. In Germany, the Weimar Republic replaced the Empire. The once large Austria became small, and some small States were scattered about. In the East was the large territory of Communist Russia. A small Poland was re-created between Germany and Russia.
Communist Russia was busy murdering people and building a large army. In 1920 that large Communist army entered Poland with the intention of bringing the Communist revolution to Europe. Confronting them was the small, newly formed Polish army. At the river Vistula there was a great battle, and the Communist forces suffered defeat. History calls this "the miracle at the Vistula." It was one of history's decisive battles, because it prevented the Communists for years from introducing Communism to Europe.
And ... "peace" reigned all over the world. But — it was a temporary and unstable peace — nothing more than a truce between the wars.
Slowly we meet Hitler, who took advantage of the German population's dissatisfaction with the conditions imposed on them by the Treaty of Versailles. In complete disregard of that treaty, the fleet, the air force, and the army were rebuilt to a highly efficient degree.
Bolshevik Russia used that time of peace to strengthen Communism, and Stalin "cleansed" his country of all "class enemies." Tens of millions were either executed or sent to Siberia or the Gulags to build factories, where they died like flies. Those factories were very efficient. The production of one of the biggest (Dnieprostroj factory) was so large that British intelligence could not believe the reported output figures and had them thoroughly re-checked....
And what happened in the Ukraine? First the Communists organized a deliberate famine and collected gold rubles from the people. After a while, during the night, trucks full of soldiers arrived in the villages, took all the men and transported them to Siberia or the Gulags. A few weeks later, also during the night, trucks full of Kalmuk men (Mongol people from Siberia) arrived. Those men were distributed to the various homes with the instructions: You will live here, and that woman will be yours. Since that time about six million "Ukrainians" have slit eyes.
Russia used this time to put the seeds of Communism all over the world.
It is a known fact that the Bolshevik revolution in Russia had been organized by Lenin and Trotsky. American, German, and Jewish bankers had dirtied their hands in helping them. America continued its assistance through the years. (American foundations provided financial support, and American industry gave technical information and assistance.) As a matter of fact, America was the first country to recognize the Communist government in Russia. A curious story: Armand Hammer, the American millionaire, sent Lenin shoes with build-in platforms so that he would look taller.
Then came September 1939. After Hitler had organized the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact with Communist Russia, the large armies of Germany (population about 70 million), and Communist Russia (population about 200 million) attacked Poland (population about 36 million), and within a few short weeks Poland was defeated.
After the September campaign, the Russian Communists murdered 14,000 Polish officers, prisoners of war, in the Katyn Forest, and deported millions of Poles, who then "disappeared." Germany also started intensive killings and then the elimination of millions in concentration camps.
In 1941, Germany invaded Russia. Immediately, America started to assist Communist Russia with weapons, transport vehicles, and food.
In 1941, the German army discovered the mass graves in the Katyn Forest. Stalin accused the Germans of those murders. Mr. Roosevelt sent Mr. Harriman to investigate, and Harriman, as the spokesman for the American government, declared that indeed the Germans had committed those murders, and he whitewashed Stalin of all blame for that crime.
Towards the end of the war, when the German generals realized that they had lost the war, they proposed to America that they would "remove" Hitler and sign unconditional surrender to America, asking only for a little time to liquidate Communism in Russia. America refused.
America, with a population of 200 hundred million, lost in the war 300,000 dead, and little Poland with a population of less than 40 million, had a death toll in the West of also 300,000....
World War II ended in 1945. Even though Roosevelt had promised in the Atlantic Charter to reestablish Poland in pre-war boundaries, Poland and much of East Europe were occupied by Communist Russia (with Roosevelt's "permission" given in Teheran and Yalta). Train after train loaded with everything Russia could take left Poland, and additional millions of Poles were murdered or sent to Russia, where they disappeared.
Year 1998: And now the American president, in the service of Lucifer, is betraying his own country! Declaring that Communism is dead in Russia, he reduced our defenses to a minimum, supports Russia with billions of dollars, and is fulfilling the goals of the secret "Bilderberg" organization to destroy Western Civilization and Christianity. He is complying with every demand of the infamous United Nations, giving away American sovereignty, and replacing it with a one-world government, and friendship with Communist Russia which, according to statistics, murdered 50 million people!
What will be our future? ... I wonder!
P.S.: The above account was originally written for the young people in Poland, but — their elders and schools had kept them fully informed of the past. Therefore, I am now re-addressing this message to those "who do not know."
