Andrey Medvedev. Andrei Medvedev: “We will never repent for our Great Victory Andrei Medvedev vgtrk

Facebook moderators blocked the publication of VGTRK journalist Andrei Medvedev twice for far-fetched reasons. From the third time, the author finally managed to convey his opinion through the censorship barriers of a social network from the "freest country". Medvedev comments on the sensational performance of a young man from Novy Urengoy in the Bundestag.

"If I had to speak in the Bundestag, as a boy Kolya, then I probably said the following words:

Dear deputies. Today I saw a miracle. And this miracle is called Germany. I walked to you and looked at the beautiful Berlin streets, at people, at wonderful architectural monuments, and now I am standing here and looking at you. And I understand that all this is a miracle. That you were all born and live in Germany. Why do I think so?

Because considering what your soldiers did in our occupied territories, the soldiers of the Red Army could easily leave a scorched field, ruins in place of Germany, and only paragraphs of textbooks would remind that there was once such a country. It's scary, but it could have happened.

You probably don't remember all the details of the occupation, but you don't need to. I will just remind you of what the soldiers of the Wehrmacht and the SS did with Soviet children. They were shot. Often in front of the parents. Or vice versa, first they shot at dad and mom, and then at the children. Your soldiers have raped children. Children were burned alive. They were sent to concentration camps. Where they took their blood to make serum for your soldiers. The children were starved to death. Children were devoured to death by your shepherd dogs. Children were used as targets. Children were brutally tortured just for fun.

Here are two examples. An infant interfered with the Wehrmacht officer's sleep, he took him by the leg and smashed his head on the corner of the stove. Your pilots at the Lychkovo station bombed a train on which they tried to take the children to the rear, and then your aces chased the frightened kids, shooting them in a bare field. Two thousand children were killed.

And just for one thing that your soldiers did with the children, I repeat, the soldiers of the Red Army, who saw the endless bloody ashes from the Volga to the Western Bug, could break loose, turn into merciless avengers, and destroy Germany completely. Perhaps even with its inhabitants. After all, they spoke and wrote from the front, without fear of censorship, during the war, that they wanted to take revenge on the Germans. Not fascists. Not the Nazis. Precisely to the Germans.

But they didn't. Do I regret it? Of course not. How can you regret not spilling blood? How can you regret that our soldiers and officers have shown incredible humanism and mercy? I bow before the highest spirit and steel will of my ancestors, who found some incredible strength in themselves so as not to become the same cattle as the Wehrmacht soldiers were. On the buckles of the German soldiers it was written "God is with us." But they were a product of hell and brought hell to our land. The soldiers of the Red Army were members of the Komsomol and communists, but the Soviet people turned out to be much more Christians than the inhabitants of enlightened religious Europe. And they did not take revenge. We were able to feel, understand that hell cannot be defeated by hell.

You should not ask us for forgiveness, because you personally are not guilty of anything. You cannot be responsible for your grandfathers and great-grandfathers. And then, only the Lord forgives. But I'll be honest - for me the Germans are forever alien, alien people. This is not because you are personally bad. It is in me that screams the pain of the children burned by the Wehrmacht. And you will have to accept that at least another generation of mine - for whom the memory of the war is the awards of his grandfather, his scars, his front-line friends - will perceive you this way. What will happen next, I do not know. Perhaps after us mankurt will come who will forget everything. And we did a lot for this, we pissed away a lot ourselves, but I hope that not all is lost for Russia. We certainly need to cooperate. Russians and Germans. We need to solve problems together. Fight ISIS and build gas pipelines. But you will have to accept one fact: we will never repent for this our The great war... And even more so for the Victory. And even more so in front of you. In any case, I repeat, my generation. Because then we saved not only ourselves. We saved you from yourself. And I don't even know which is more important. "

Because, considering what your soldiers have done here, in the occupied territories, the soldiers of the Red Army had every moral right to destroy the entire German people. Leaving a burnt field, ruins and only paragraphs of textbooks in place of Germany would remind that there was once such a country.

Or here are two examples. An infant interfered with the Wehrmacht officer's sleep, he took him by the leg and smashed his head on the corner of the stove. Your pilots at the Lychkovo station bombed a train on which they tried to take the children to the rear, and then your aces chased the frightened kids, shooting them in a bare field. Two thousand children were killed.

Just for one thing that you did with the children, I repeat, the Red Army could destroy Germany completely with its inhabitants. She had every moral right. But she didn't. Do I regret it? Of course not. I bow before the steel will of my ancestors, who found some incredible strength in themselves not to become the same cattle as the Wehrmacht soldiers were. On the buckles of the German soldiers it was written "God is with us." But they were a product of hell and brought hell to our land. The soldiers of the Red Army were members of the Komsomol and communists, but the Soviet people turned out to be much more Christians than the inhabitants of enlightened religious Europe. And they did not take revenge. We were able to understand that hell cannot be defeated by hell.

We certainly need to cooperate. Russians and Germans. We need to solve problems together. Fight ISIS ( the structure is prohibited in the Russian Federation - ed.) and build gas pipelines. But you will have to accept one fact: we will never repent for our Great War. And even more so for the Victory. And even more so in front of you. In any case, I repeat, my generation.

Because then we saved not only ourselves. We saved you from yourself. And I don't even know which is more important.

They ask questions about the death of PMC fighters in Syria. What do I think about it. I answer.

I do not know how many people died, according to my information (and it may not be accurate) 14 dead and more wounded.

Why is the government silent? Because PMCs are created for this, so that the authorities can keep silent. This is how PMCs work all over the world. Have you heard about the loss of American or British PMCs in Syria? No? And they were. And decent, judging by indirect data. Losses of Academy / Blackwater in Afghanistan alone - there are such estimates - have amounted to about 1400 people since 2001. According to other sources, 1400 are the total losses of the Academy in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria since 2001. Hispanics are very often recruited in American private armies. Special forces from Colombia, Bolivia, Chile. They fight well. It’s not the Americans who will die. And citizenship is not required. So the real losses are unknown, I think, even to Blackwater customers from the Pentagon.

It’s strange to see how the same people used to shout silly that war was not the business of a conscript soldier, that professionals should fight, and now they are also yelling that “what a horror, we have PMCs, a shame of this government ". Excuse me, so you kind of wanted the pros to fight with us? The authorities, at your request, in fact, created a PMC. No?
- Why hide the presence of PMCs? Because they are actually created to hide their existence. It is a proxy war tool. Again Blackwater. The first operation in 2001 in Kabul. They have been in Iraq since 2003. So then even the American military did not know exactly who they were. The US military in Baghdad told me that they were special forces or CIA units. Even the death of Blackwater fighters in Fallujah was not confirmed by the US authorities. That is, they reported the death of military advisers. Only in 2007, after the Baghdad massacre, when PMC soldiers civilians were shot, the Americans learned of their existence. Although rumors about PMCs were circulating in America. During the second assault on the same Fallujah, Blackwater played a key role, essentially acting as barriers and then as the main breakout force. But officially they didn’t exist. So the citizens who are now screaming that, they say, "the shame of our government, because it is silent about the death of ours in Syria," simply do not understand by what algorithm PMCs work and why they are created.

Why did the Americans hit our soldiers? Because the Third is coming World War... This is, of course, proxy war, but still. Syria is one of the fronts of the Third World War.
I think Afghanistan will be next and middle Asia... Not only we and the Americans are taking part in this Third World War. Do you know, citizens, that French and English special forces are fighting in Syria? So sooner or later we had to face "Western partners" in a direct battle. The private CIA - the Stratfor company - wrote in a report four years ago that the US forces are quite limited, and Washington should consider the events in Syria and Ukraine as a single theater of military operations. This Black Sea theater of operations will put pressure on Russia from a southern direction. Nothing new. So in Syria we are not fighting for Assad, but for our future, for the right of our country to be. Don't be yourself. And just be. To exist in the world.

Based on the above. The soldiers of our PMCs in Syria are Russian heroes. They are real heroes of the fight against terrorism and the war for the Russian future. They are the same heroes as Prokhorenko and Filipov, Durachenko and Mikhailova, as our pilots, sailors and SSO fighters.

The soldiers of PMCs, unfortunately, are unknown and unsung heroes (as Eric Prince called his guys "unsung heroes"). But we must understand that by their struggle, by their daily feat, the soldiers of our PMCs give us the right to a peaceful life. We go to the cinema, raise children, go to work thanks to them - simple Russian men, whose profession is war, and who every day cleanse this terrorist purulent phlegmon.

And when some "journalist" writes about "dead mercenaries", you should know that this person is not much different from the propaganda scum from the Ishilov media center "Al-Furkan". This is the enemy who stabs our fighters in the back.
Once again, they are heroes. Their job is war, but their death is a tragedy. Moreover, apparently there was not without idiocy and betrayal.

I don't know how the state is there, whether it will forget them or not. But the Motherland should not forget them. And the Motherland is us. Do not forget the fighters of Russian PMCs.

Eternal memory to men and soldiers.

A series of "color revolutions" in the Middle East, the war in Syria, the strengthening of the Taliban in Afghanistan, the blazing arc of instability in the Middle East and Asia, are just a continuation of a story that began more than 200 years ago and was called the Great Game.

The series of "color revolutions" is a continuation of a story that began over 200 years ago. Well-known TV journalist Andrei Medvedev is sure of this.

His documentary blockbuster entitled The Big Game will be presented at the Eurasia.DOC festival. The film tells the story of a fierce struggle between Russia and Great Britain for control over strategic points in Asia.

"Official start date Big game intelligence services, diplomats and military men of the Russian and British empires, of course, no. But unofficially, the countdown can be started from the assassination of Paul the First, in the preparation of which the British ambassador was directly involved. Then - all 200 years - blows and counterattacks followed one after another ", - the author explains the theme of the film.

Andrei Medvedev became interested in the history of Russian expansion into Central Asia in 2000, when he first came to Afghanistan.

“My interest in this part of our history grew and grew. Behind Afghanistan were Central Asia, Pakistan, India, and all this gradually formed into a kind of common mosaic. Then I read the famous book by Peter Hopkirk, The Big Game, which recounted a lot of what I already knew. When the opportunity arose, I decided to make a film about all this, because, indeed, in our country, not everyone is aware of those events ”, - said Andrei Medvedev in one of his interviews.

The premiere screening of the film "Big Game" took place on the TV channel "Russia" in 2014. As Andrei Medvedev admits, this was his debut in documentary filmmaking. The team worked on the project for about a year. There were filming in Kabul and the UK.

The film features politicians and diplomats, contemporary historians and experts. They explain what was the rationale behind the wars and diplomatic deals, what Russia and Britain were trying to achieve, why they could not agree.
The journalist is grateful for the support and direct participation in the project of his mother Saida Medvedeva, a well-known Russian television producer. She took over the production of the film.
“My mother has been doing documentaries for many years. She was responsible for all the technical "bells and whistles", - says Andrey.
