The revelations of "daddy's storyteller Mueller"
A conversation about Professor Andrei Zubov should generally begin with the fact that he is a typical person. Neo-fascism is rearing its head not only in some of the former Soviet republics, but also in Europe.
They try to downplay the horrors of Hitlerism and the scale of the crimes committed by that government, at the same time underestimating the degree of their complicity in them - after all, all of Europe either surrendered to the Third Reich, or allied with it openly and ideologically, and now they are ashamed to remember this, they do not want to. And they are trying to downplay the role of the Soviet Union in the victory over this monster, and in general to appoint the Soviet Union itself to the role of the monster. If you remember everything, it turns out that a fair amount of the atrocities of the fascist regime in the occupied territories were committed by the occupied citizens themselves, and not at all from the SS, but of their own free will and with enthusiasm.
All this was foreseen a very long time ago, many decades ago. Some foresaw that their time would come when it would be possible to start rewriting history, and people would accept it, while others foresaw these plans and half a century ago we were warned of this danger.
Through the mouth of Müller, the chief of the Gestapo, in Julian Semyonov's novel "Seventeen Moments of Spring", this plan was already voiced at that time:
“The gold of the party is a bridge to the future, it is an appeal to our children, to those who are now a month, a year, three years old ... Those who are now ten do not need us: neither we, nor our ideas; they will not forgive us hunger and bombing. But those who now do not understand anything yet will tell legends about us, and the legend needs to be fed. We need to create storytellers who will transform our words in a different way, accessible to people in twenty years. . As soon as somewhere instead of the word "hello" they say "heil!" to someone's personal address - you know, they are waiting for us there, from there we will begin our great rebirth! "
Andrei Zubov is just one of those "storytellers who will transform the words of the Nazis in a different way, accessible to people in seventy years." And he is not alone, there are many of them.
But let's listen to what Zubov says in his interview with Radio Liberty:
“Back in the Coffee Maker of our institute, I told my friends how, they say, it’s a shame that Stalin didn’t lose the war to Hitler. and would replace the cannibalistic Stalinist regime. Hitler is the angel of Russian history. "
We are all more or less aware of how the allies planned to "liberate" us - fortunately, the documents on the "Unthinkable" plan, in which it was assumed that the Allies, together with the captured Nazis, would again attack the Soviet Union, weakened by the war, and by common efforts will finish him off completely - all this has already been declassified today. As well as Churchill's hysterical telegram, in which he begs Truman to subject the USSR to atomic bombing.
But the most interesting thing is the justification of murderers, war criminals and executioners by the fact that someone (allegedly) committed even more terrible crimes. This is absolutely Vlasov's position, because Vlasov also fought against Hitler at first, but then he considered that Hitler was “a lesser evil” than Stalin, and began to kill his people, to fight against his country on the side of Hitler.
The evolution of the intellectual, or "and here they knocked from below"
Characteristic is the gradual evolution of the views of Zubov, who in 2011 still criticized Vlasov for his betrayal, but radically changed his attitude to the Vlasov problem, and in general to the characterization of the war as Patriotic, about which he even wrote a whole textbook “History of Russia. XX century ”, from which at the time of publication even Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn had distanced himself, who at first embraced the idea of creating such a project with great enthusiasm.
However, Zubov and his co-authors in the book agreed to the point that even Solzhenitsyn - not the most, to put it mildly, a big fan of Stalin - decided that this was too much for him and refused to co-author and demanded that the data on his participation be deleted.
The typical method used by Zubov, whitewashing the fascists and justifying them and their accomplices, is to ascribe big crimes to someone else. Although it is not clear how one atrocity can be justified by another. Here is a typical example from the professor's speeches:
"Bandera" were called fascists, although, of course, this was not true. It was a typical nationalist organization of the war period with its own army, with its own terrorist wing. Then many acted in this way. Of course, some leaders of the Ukrainian national movement were carried away by the idea of Mussolini's corporatism. But Mussolini still called Joseph Stalin his best student. I think that Stalin was a greater fascist than Bandera and even Mussolini.
That is, according to his logic, the Banderaites are not fascists because allegedly Stalin was a greater fascist than Bandera. Or here's another:
Everything was attributed to the Banderaites: the genocide of the Ukrainian people, and the extermination of Jews, and cooperation with Hitler and all imaginable atrocities. The Banderaites are an example of the great lie of the Soviet system. Although from the point of view of the science of history, it was a national liberation movement, anti-communist.
A very interesting approach, especially considering that the genocide carried out by the Banderaites was not only documented, but also officially recognized by European states - for example, Poland, which recently condemned the Volyn massacre as genocide of the Polish people.
But Zubov finds a justification for the crimes of Stepan Bandera's supporters:
Bandera was a hundred times less cruel than the Beria or Abakumov NKVD, which fought against the Bandera. Therefore, any attempt to free them from this state was already an element of justice. And in this sense, the Bandera movement is more justified from the point of view of morality than the Stalinist Soviet state.
It is completely incomprehensible how the atrocities of the Banderaites against civilians and, in general, all the war crimes committed by them independently and jointly with the Nazi troops are connected with the post-war attempts of law enforcement agencies to bring them to justice for these atrocities. Zubov deliberately makes a "mess" to compare the incomparable.
In reality, the Banderaites were recognized war criminals who knew exactly what they had done and tried to avoid responsibility. That is, Zubov does not consider real fascists and their accomplices to be fascists. And who does he consider to be fascists? You will laugh, but ... us!
Now we have no return to the USSR. All property is owned not by the state, but by a dozen people. All who cooperate with the authorities receive their share of the property. By all economic parameters, our regime is not socialist. It is much more reminiscent of the regime of the fascist state, where private corporations were created under state control. It is no accident that the fascist state was called corporate. This corporate capitalism is now being built in Russia.
Thus, according to Zubov, the fascists are not fascists, but Russia, which defeated the fascists, is a fascist state. In exactly the same way, Zubov justifies the parades of SS veterans. Recall that according to the decision of the Nuremberg Tribunal, the SS was recognized wholly a criminal organization. That is, no part of the SS, no unit can be considered legal and not involved in war crimes - the tribunal condemned the entire organization wholly, and specifically mentioned this fact in a separate paragraph - that no exceptions can be made for anyone.
In fact, the whole of Europe knows that the parades of SS veterans are a direct violation of the verdict of the Nuremberg Tribunal, but everyone turns a blind eye - these are the new members of the EU and NATO, how can you criticize them! Zubov does not criticize them either, although he writes history textbooks.
In a word, in the list of the PARNAS party under the honorable third number is not just a Russophobe, but a person with openly Vlasov views, who justifies the crimes of the Nazis and their accomplices on the territory of our country and justifies the neo-fascists of our time. As they say, when he thought that he had already reached the very bottom, they knocked from below.
And before that, he wrote a school history textbook - and his hair stands on end from what "history" he wrote there. He also taught at MGIMO - and also for many years. And we wonder where people come from who despise their country! So they were not just taught this, but demanded to learn exactly the "necessary" version of history on pain of "twos" and deductions.
Now he travels around the cities of Russia and speaks at rallies with Kasyanov, trying to run for the State Duma. I suppose there is no need to explain to anyone what the appearance of such a deputy in Russian politics will mean.
Specially for
The third number in the PARNAS electoral list Andrey Zubov-
personality is remarkable in all respects. Starting with the fact that he considers Hitler "the angel of Russian history" (literal quote), and ending with the fact that his liberalism has surpassed the limits of such a liberal university as MGIMO - Andrei Borisovich even managed to fly out of there. And it's clear why. Professor Zubov is not shy about expressing Vlasov's views and convincing that the Soviet Union would be better off losing in the Great Patriotic War. Feeling wild hatred of Stalin, he, in a false opposition to Hitler, justifies National Socialism and all Hitler's accomplices who were convicted by the Nuremberg Tribunal. He speaks very warmly of the Baltic SS men, of the Ukrainian Bandera men. In a word, for him, May 9 really is a "day of memory and sorrow" - only not for the lost Soviet people, but for the lost dream, where the Nazis and their accomplices win.

Now he travels around the cities of Russia and speaks at rallies with Kasyanov, trying to run for the State Duma. I suppose there is no need to explain to anyone what the appearance of such a deputy in Russian politics will mean.
In Russian science there are specimens whose worldview is something explosive in content, but for society and the scientific community it is just a shame.
Professor A. Zubov is one of such unique ones. Specialist in the "democracies of the East" (?!) (Candidate - "Experience in the study of parliamentary democracy in Thailand" (1978), doctoral - "Parliamentary democracy and political tradition of the East" (1989), liberal and monarchist (?!), And even an Orthodox an activist in addition, with great sympathy for the savage "creativity" of the Uniate S. Bandera.
Former MGIMO teacher and member of the Parnas party, Andrei Zubov, said in an interview with Radio Liberty that in his youth he was a sworn anti-Soviet. Zubov said that he inspired his friends at the institute that Stalin had to lose the war to Hitler, in which case the Americans would come and liberate the country by establishing democracy. "Hitler is the angel of Russian history," a member of the PARNAS party summed up his story ....
This is what this professor says about his attitude to victory in the Great Patriotic War, about which he is trying to compose myths himself.
“And even in the Coffee Maker of our institute I told my friends how, they say, it’s annoying that Stalin did not lose the war to Hitler. Because all the same, in the end, the allies would have liberated us, but then the British and Americans would have established democracy in our country and replaced the cannibalistic Stalinist regime ”- this is how the former MGIMO professor described his views on the Great Patriotic War.
I wonder how much he managed to poison the students with his nonsense?
And at the 45th minute of the video, A. Zubov reports that, compared to Stalin, "Hitler is the angel of Russian history."
So what do we have left?
A liberal in Russia is, firstly, not a liberal, but a fascist in relation to other dissent. Secondly, a conductor of the treacherous colonial ideology of the West in relation to Russia. Thirdly - the bearer of what is already leaving in history and doomed. I'm not even talking about the fact that, as it turned out, there is no liberal democracy and market economy in the West, but there is the power of an unselected global financial elite that controls the market, power, and the distribution of world resources, only under the guise of liberalism and democracy ...
However, who is this professor who does not know all this? He is a fool, an ignoramus or a villain and an enemy of his own country, only hiding behind the mantle of a professor, how does the West hide behind liberalism?
By the way, the very fact that such a specimen grew and bore fruit in the USSR, hiding little of its views, speaks of how liberal the Soviet regime was, because if it was what all sorts of teeth describe it, it would be rolled into asphalt somewhere in the 70s.
During the election campaign, the liberals agreed to sing the praises of the Fuhrer
"Hitler is the angel of Russian history."
No, these words, blasphemous for everyone in our country, do not belong to the odious Goebbels, but they were uttered just the other day.
And it was not at all some fan of Bandera who had taken a sip of vodka, and not a scumbag with a swastika shaved on the back of his head, but a quite fine-looking gentleman with a sleek professorial beard, living in the city of Moscow Andrey Zubov (on the picture).
By occupation, Zubov is indeed a professor, a doctor of sciences and not just any, but historical ones. And today he is no longer just a historian, but a political activist who is listed as the third in the electoral list of the liberal party PARNAS.
And the professor said this ode to Hitler not in his kitchen, but in an interview with the American Radio Liberty. Franking with a reporter about the details of his biography, Zubov admitted that in his youth he was a zealous anti-Soviet.
“I,” he said, “back in the“ Coffee Maker ”of our institute, told my friends how annoying it was that Stalin did not lose the war to Hitler. Because all the same, in the end, the allies would free us, but then the British and Americans would establish democracy in our country and replace the cannibalistic Stalinist regime. "
Considering that this is not enough, Zubov, answering the questions, then "gave a couple of things", adding:
"Compared to Stalin, Hitler is the angel of Russian history."
The liberal historian explained this monstrous comparison by the fact that Stalin exterminated more people than Hitler. However, this does not change anything. To call the possessed Fuhrer an "angel" in any context is blasphemy and cynical mockery of the memory of millions of his victims.
However, such a statement was made by Zubov, of course, not by accident. The professor had already mentioned Hitler before, back in 2014, during the annexation of Crimea to Russia.
"In Germany, -wrote professor Zubov,- 99.08% voted for unification with Austria, in Austria itself, which became the Ostmark of the German Empire - 99.75%. On October 1, 1938, the Czech Sudetenland were also reunited with the consanguineous Germany, on March 22, 1939 - the Lithuanian region of Klaipeda, which in one day turned into the German Memel.In all these lands, most of the Germans really lived, everywhere many of them really wanted to unite with the Hitlerite Reich. Everywhere this reunion took place with fanfare and shouts of jubilation of the crowd, distraught in a chauvinistic frenzy and with the connivance of the West ... And everything seemed so radiant. And the glory of Hitler shone at its zenith. And the world was in awe of Great Germany. The accession of regions and countries to the Reich without a single shot, without a single drop of blood - isn't the Fuhrer a genius politician? And six years later Germany was defeated, millions of her sons were killed, millions of her daughters were dishonored, her cities were wiped off the face of the earth, her cultural values, accumulated for centuries, turned to dust. 2/5 of the territory was torn away from Germany, and the rest was divided into zones and occupied by the victorious powers. And shame, shame, shame covered the heads of the Germans. And it all began so radiantly! ... History will repeat itself ", - Zubov concludes with false pathos.
The professor's hints from history are clear.
He compares Russia's actions in the case of the return of Crimea to the capture of European states by the Nazis, threatening her with defeat and death, recalling the defeat of Germany.
But wouldn't he, as a doctor of historical sciences, not know that we are talking about completely different events, which under no circumstances lend themselves to comparison? That Crimea revolted only after a coup d'etat was carried out in Kiev and a pro-fascist junta came to power in Ukraine? What on the peninsula, if its inhabitants had not made their historical choice, would have been arranged the same bloody massacre, which the Kiev punishers then staged in the Donbass?
Of course, Zubov knows all this very well, he can't help but know, as a man who taught at MGIMO for many years and, of course, has become quite adept in politics. But why then does he turn everything upside down?
The answer is simple. This is the usual method of liberals - if there are no weighty arguments against the current government, which they call to overthrow, then they must be thought up.
Compare, for example, the actions of the Russian leadership with Hitler, and portray the expression of the will of the people of Crimea as "Russia's aggression."
And Zubov has been doing it for a long time and methodically. Here is what, for example, he said at one time on "Echo of Moscow" about Nadezhda Savchenko:
“Nadezhda Savchenko is a person who clearly did not want to become a hero - she was an ordinary hero of Ukraine, one of thousands of people who stood up to defend their country from Russian aggression then, in the spring and summer of 2014. But God awarded her a special fate - she was captured and accused, as everyone knows, of having had some part in the deaths of Russian journalists ... and southeastern Ukraine over the past two years, even if the Savchenko case has something under it, it drowns in this sea of crimes, which were committed, of course, by both sides, but the aggressor, of course, was Russia, not Ukraine ... "
But Zubov and his associates are trying in vain. In response to his words of praise about Hitler, a whole storm of indignation broke out on the network.
Here are just some of the comments:
User Dmitry Ermakov wrote: "Nothing new. Read The Brothers Karamazov. Smerdyakov: "In the twelfth year, there was a great invasion of Russia by the emperor Napoleon the first of France ... and it would be good if these very French conquered us then: an intelligent nation would have conquered a very stupid one and annexed it. There would even have been other orders, sir."
Alexei Safronov: “It is not for nothing that Zubov is a member of an anti-people party with foreign funding. This can only be said by a traitor to his own people, who must be prosecuted for promoting the genocide of our people, desecrating the memory of the dead, and for openly calling for betrayal of the Motherland. It was not Stalin who fought the war, but the people who were sentenced to extermination by the very sponsors who financed Hitler and today are financing PARNAS ”.
Elena Ivanova: “Pluralism, in this case, is inappropriate and seems to be prosecuted. And how many years did this unfinished Vlasov teacher teach? "
Answering Elena's question, let's say that Zubov taught for a long time. And not just anywhere, but in one of the most privileged educational institutions in Moscow - at MGIMO. From where he was finally expelled recently.
"Hitler is the angel of Russian history." No, these words, blasphemous for everyone in our country, do not belong to the odious Goebbels, but they were uttered just the other day.

Because all the same, in the end, the allies would free us, but then the British and Americans would establish democracy in our country and replace the cannibalistic Stalinist regime. "
Considering that this was not enough, Zubov, answering the questions, then “gave a pair”, adding: “In comparison with Stalin, Hitler is an angel of Russian history”.
The liberal historian explained this monstrous comparison by the fact that Stalin exterminated more people than Hitler. However, this does not change anything. To call the possessed Fuhrer an "angel" in any context is blasphemy and cynical mockery of the memory of millions of his victims.
However, such a statement was made by Zubov, of course, not by accident. The professor had already mentioned Hitler before, back in 2014, during the annexation of Crimea to Russia.
In an article published in the Vedomosti newspaper, he compared this fateful event for Russia with ... the Hitlerite Anschluss of Austria. “In Germany,” wrote Professor Zubov, “99.08% voted for unification with Austria, in Austria itself, which became the Ostmark of the German Empire, 99.75%. On October 1, 1938, the Czech Sudetenland were also reunited with the consanguineous Germany, on March 22, 1939 - the Lithuanian region of Klaipeda, which in one day turned into the German Memel.

But in any case, it is absolutely clear - among the thousands of victims and incredible iniquities that have been committed in eastern and southeastern Ukraine over the past two years, even if the Savchenko case has something underneath it, it drowns in this sea of crimes that, naturally, both sides committed, but the aggressor, of course, was Russia, not Ukraine. .. "
But Zubov and his associates are trying in vain. In response to his words of praise about Hitler, a whole storm of indignation broke out on the network.
Here are just some of the comments:

Answering Elena's question, let's say that Zubov taught for a long time. And not just anywhere, but in one of the most privileged educational institutions in Moscow - at MGIMO. From where he was finally expelled recently.
As can be assumed, due to the too original interpretation by the former professor of modern history of Russia. Here, apparently, he got into politics, deciding to break into the State Duma under the wing of PARNAS. What for? And, probably, in order, as his friends, the liberals, urge, "to return Crimea to Ukraine."
