Participation of the USSR in conflict. Local Wars with the participation of the USSR Armed Forces. A brief overview of local wars and armed conflicts

After World War II, the USSR participated in many local military conflicts. Participation it was unofficial and even secret. The exploits of the Soviet soldiers in these wars will forever remain unknown.

Civil War in China 1946-1950

By the end of World War II in China, two governments have developed, and the territory of the country was divided into two parts. One of them was controlled by the Gomindan party, headed by Chan Kaishi, the second - the communist government with Mao Zedun headed. The United States supported Homindan, and the USSR is the Communist Party of China.
The wage trigger was launched in March 1946, when the 310-thousand grouping of the Khomintan troops with direct support of the United States began an offensive in the PDA position. They captured almost all the southern manchuria, pushing the communists for the Sungari River. At the same time, the deterioration of relations from the USSR - the Homintan, under different pretexts, does not fulfill the conditions of the Soviet-Chinese Treaty "On Friendship and Union": the property of the CERE is cleared, the Soviet media are closed, anti-Soviet organizations are being created.

In 1947, the Soviet pilots, tankers, artilleryrs arrived in the United Democratic Army (subsequently the People's Liberation Army). A decisive role in the subsequent victory of the CCP played and weapons supplied by the Chinese Communists from the USSR. According to some reports, only in the fall of 1945, NAA received 327,877 rifles and carbines from the USSR, 5207 machine guns, 5219 artillery guns, 743 tanks and armored vehicles, 612 aircraft, as well as Suncharian flotilla ships.

In addition, Soviet military specialists have developed a strategic defense and counterattack management plan. All this contributed to the success of NAO and the establishment of the communist regime of Mao Zedong. During the war in China, about a thousand Soviet soldiers died.

Korean war (1950-1953).

Information about the participation of the Armed Forces of the USSR in the Korean War has been classified for a long time. At the beginning of the conflict, the Kremlin did not plan to participate in it by Soviet soldiers, but the large-scale involvement of the United States into confrontation between two Korea changed the position of the Soviet Union. In addition, the Kremlin's decision to join the conflict was influenced by the provocations of Americans: how, on October 8, 1950, two American attack aircraft even caused a bombing strike on the basis of the Pacific Fleet Air Force in the dry river area.

Military support for the DPRK Soviet Union was directed mainly on the reflection of the US aggression and was carried out by gratuitous supply of weapons. Specialists from the USSR prepared team, staff and engineering and technical staff.

Major military assistance turned out to be aviation: Soviet pilots made a combat departure to MiG-15, repainted in the colors of the Chinese Air Force. At the same time, the pilots were forbidden to act over the yellow sea and chase opponent's airplanes south of Pyongyang - Wonxan.

Military advisers from the USSR attended the headquarters of the front only in civilian clothes, under the guise of the correspondents of the newspaper "True". About this special "camouflage" is mentioned in the telegram of Stalin General Tsykovka, an employee of the Far Eastern Department of the USSR Foreign Ministry,

Until now, it remains unclear how much the Soviet soldiers actually was in Korea. According to official data, during the conflict of the USSR lost 315 people and 335 MiG-15 fighters. For comparison, the Korean War claimed 54,246 thousand Americans, and over 103 thousand were injured.

War in Vietnam (1965-1975)

In 1945, the creation of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam was proclaimed, the authorities in the country moved to the Communist leader Ho Chi Min. But the West was in no hurry to give up his former colonial possessions. Soon, French troops landed the territory of Vietnam in order to restore their influence in the region. In 1954, a document was signed in Geneva, according to which the independence of Laos, Vietnam Cambodia, was recognized, and the country was divided into two parts: North Vietnam, headed by Ho Shi Min and South - with NGO Din Zy. The latter quickly lost the popularity of the people, and in South Vietnam, the partisan war flared out, especially since the impassable jungle provided it with high efficiency.

On March 2, 1965, the United States began regular bombing of the Northern Vietnam, accusing the country in expanding the partisan traffic in the south. The reaction of the USSR was immediate. Since 1965, large-scale supply of military equipment, specialists and soldiers in Vietnam begin. Everything happened in the conditions of strictest secrecy.

According to memories of veterans, before the departure, the soldiers moved to civilian clothes, their letters home passed such a tough censorship that they get into the hands of an outsider man, the latter could understand only one thing: the authors rest somewhere in the south and enjoy their serene vacation.

The participation of the USSR in the Vietnamese War was so classified that it is still not clear what role the Soviet soldiers in this conflict played. There are numerous legends about the Soviet pilots-ACA, fighting with "phantoms", whose collective image was embodied in Li-Tsyn's pilot from the famous folk song. However, according to the memoirs of participants in the events, our pilots were categorically prohibited to enter into battle with American aircraft. The exact amount and names of the Soviet soldiers who participated in the conflict are unknown so far.

War in Algeria (1954-1964)

The national liberation movement in Algeria, which received a scope after World War II, in 1954 he turned into a real war against French colonial domination. The USSR into conflict took the side of the rebels. Khrushchev noted that the struggle of Algerians against the French organizers is the nature of the liberation war, therefore, it should be supported by the UN.

However, the Soviet Union rendered Algerians not only diplomatic support: the Kremlin supplied the Armament of the Algerian army and military personnel.

Soviet military contributed to the organizational strengthening of the Algerian army, participated in planning operations against the French troops, as a result of which the latter had to go to negotiations.

The parties concluded an agreement according to which the fighting was stopped, and Algeria was provided independence.

After signing the agreement with Soviet Sipers, the largest operation on demining the country's territory was carried out. During the war, the French battalions of the sappers on the border of Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia mined a strip from 3 to 15 km, where every kilometer accounted for up to 20 thousand "surprises". Soviet sappers cleared 1350 square meters. km of territory by destroying 2 million anti-personnel mines.

To write about this, I prompted the opinion established in our public consciousness that we are a country very peaceful, consecutive opponents of all wars and our armored train always stood on a spare way, occasionally and only forced to shoot.

Of course, this myth gave birth to Soviet propaganda and the man in the street happily accepted. So nice, being humiliated within his country, feel your ghostly greatness beyond it, although there has never been there. There is no decade in Soviet history, but what is there for decades - there is not a single five-year-old life. The Soviet Union was constantly in a state of war around the world.

Tell me, what country can stand the long-lasting century war on all fronts?! How many resources do you need ... human, economic?! What kind of society readily agrees to throw the fruits of their works regularly into the firefoot of the war, refusing to themselves in everything you need?! That's right, there is no such society. It can only be a slave state, when part of society is on a platform forced labor in concentration camps, providing these wars, and his other part is happy only what is not located there, continuing to remain a slave, but not at Katorga. The fee for slavery without cautious is the enthusiastic slave "patriotism" of a primitive animal state.

There are many historical materials, comments and explanations for each individual episode of this aggressive policy. All these conflicts Soviet history and propaganda explains that we are white and fluffy and always got involved in the war on the very most needed, protecting either their land (and whether it was with us?!), Or by calling fraternal international aid of one of the parties ( We always unmistakably defined only the fair side and only helped her !!!). Nobody will never convince me that we are logical to protect our homeland in Africa, America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East.

Below I will try to lead in chronological order all wars since 1917 and the present day. You must understand that data on the number of human losses is very conditional, and somewhere and frankly false. This should be clear, because many data were taken from Soviet sources, where even information on the preparation of firewood for the winter of a separate collective farm was subject to secake.

I intentionally do not give links to sources, as I think that the one who is interested in, he will always be able to find more complete information from different angles, because in the yard of the 21st century and to gain a different formulation of the issue in the search line of Google, for example, not difficult. Well, and those who are difficult - there are no need ... just they do not know that and are always ready to take the official version of a poorly stitched in a television, the official history textbook or newspaper.

Most of these wars I consider imperial concrete actions, akin to the actions of fascist Germany and inciting tension in the world. There are fair wars .... Their ... only one - the great domestic, which still try to cover as a sacred cow everything else.

I repeat once again, let you not surprise the primitive propaganda pathos of subsequent posts, as the information is taken from open official sources, almost without editing. That is reasonable everything looks for a thinking person all this in the total mass, where the Soviet Union is the most fair and humane power. The figures of the losses presented below are also taken, from open official sources, and therefore are largely detained and strongly distorted

So, proceed ...

Civil War (1918-1922)

This war requires a separate, extensive topic and I bound here only with very conditional figures of losses that can be called highly understated and taken from the ceiling, as it should be understood - what to consider losses. In this case, the borders of the losses spread sharply, but they will be concerned with conditional and very approximate.

Civil War Losses:
10,500,000 died
Emigrated 2,000,000

To west, workers and peasants!
Against bourgeoisie and landowners
for the international revolution
For freedom of all nations!
Fighters of the working revolution!
Right your eyes to the West.
In the West, the fates of the world revolution are solved.
Through the corpse of White Poland lies the way to the world fire.
On the bayonets suffer happiness
And the world of worker mankind.
To the west!
To decisive battles, to bulky victories! ...
"True", № 99, May 9, 1920

On April 25, 1920, the Polish Army invaded the limits of Soviet Ukraine and seized Kiev on May 6.
On May 14, a successful countertime of troops began Western Front (Commander M. N. Tukhachevsky), May 26 - South-Western (commander A. I. Egorov). In mid-July, they approached the turns of Poland.

Politburo of the Central Committee of the RCP (b), explicitly overestimates his strength and underestimating the forces of the enemy, put a new strategic task before the command of the Red Army: with the battles to enter the territory of Poland, take it to the capital and create conditions for the proclamation of the country of Soviet power. Trotsky, who knew the state of the Red Army, wrote in his memoirs:

"There were hot hopes for the uprising of Polish workers ... Lenin has developed a solid plan: to bring the case to the end, that is, to join Warsaw to help the Polish working masses to overturn the Government of Pilsudsky and seize power ... I found a very hard mood in the center in favor of bringing war in the center to end". I resolutely opposed this. Poles have already asked the world. I believed that we have achieved a climax of success, and if, without having calculated the strength, we will pass further, we can pass by the victory already overwhelmed - to defeat. After the colossal voltage, which allowed the 4th Army in five weeks to pass 650 kilometers, she could move forward only by the power of inertia. Everything hung on the nerves, and these are too thin threads. One strong jolly was enough to shake our front and turn a completely unheard and unparalleled ... offensive impulse in a catastrophic retreat. "

Despite the opinion of Trotsky Lenin and almost all members of the Politburo rejected the proposal of Trotsky on the immediate conclusion of peace with Poland. The offensive in Warsaw entrusted to the Western Front, and on the Lviv south-western, headed by Alexander Egorov.

According to the statements of the Bolshevik leaders, in general, it was an attempt to promote the "Red Shnyk" into the depths of Europe and thereby "stir up Western European proletariat", push him to support the world revolution.

"We decided to use our military forces to help the Sovietization of Poland. From here flowed and further general politics. We formulated this not in the official resolution recorded in the CC protocol and is a law for the party to the new congress. But among themselves, we said that we must face bayonets, whether the social revolution of the proletariat in Poland was not matured. " (from the text of Lenin's speech at the IX All-Russian Conference of the RCP (b) on September 22, 1920)

"In the West, the fate of the world revolution is solved. Through the corpse of Belopan Poland lies the way to the world fire. On the bayonets we suffer the happiness of working humanity! ". (From the order entitled "to the West!")

This attempt ended with a catastrophe. The troops of the Western Front In August 1920 were headed under Warsaw (t. "Miracle on Vistula"), and rolled back. During the battle of the five armies of the Western Front, only the third survived, which managed to retreat. The rest of the armies were destroyed: the fourth army and part of the fifteenth fled to Eastern Prussia and were interned, the Mozyr Group, the fifteenth, the sixteenth armies were surrounded or broken. More than 120 thousand redarmeys fell in captivity (up to 200 thousand), mostly captured during the battle under Warsaw, and another 40,000 fighters were in East Prussia in the camps of the interned. This defeat of the Red Army is the most catastrophic.

The Soviet government will slow hatred for Poland and subsequently brutally revenge and the first revenge will be in the Teshest Partnership with ... Hitler

Tambov Uprising 1918-1921

It is absolutely clear the desire of the Chinese to return the CERG, although Never before the Soviet-Chinese agreement of 1924 on equal rights with Russia, the Chinese side did not dispose of the road. From point of view international law It was necessary to decide on the transfer of the road to the Soviet side of China on the basis of the relevant articles of the Beijing and Mukden contracts, because no less natural was the desire of the USSR (as the legal appraiser of the Russian Empire in this regard) at least to compensate for the enormous material costs for the construction of the CEM.

Seeing the resistant unwillingness of the Nanice authorities in peaceful way to solve the conflict, the Soviet government went to the forced measure - announced in a note on July 17, 1929 on the break of diplomatic relations with the Nanjing Government. All Soviet diplomatic, consular and sales representatives, the staff of the KVA administration were withdrawn from China, and Chinese diplomats were invited to immediately leave the limits of the USSR. It was also decided to stop all the railway relationship between China and the USSR. At the same time, the Union Government stated that it reserves all rights arising from Peking and Mukden agreements 1924

One of the first tried to intervene in the Soviet-Chinese struggle for the FRACUZ Government. So, already on July 19, 1929, the French minister A. Brian proposed a police station of the USSR V.S. Dovgalevsky mediation of France to resolve the Soviet-Chinese conflict. The same proposal handed over Karakhan French Ambassador in Moscow Erbett on July 21. However, the Soviet government was categorically against participation in resolving the conflict of third countries. But, not wanting to exacerbate and not simple relationships with France, the NKID came out of the situation, abandoning negotiations with China through the mediation of Paris diplomats, "in view of the refusal of the Chinese authorities, to restore the legal framework impaired by them, representing the necessary prerequisite for the agreement according to the Note of the Soviet government from 13 July "

Not left aside and the United States. July 25 American Secretary of State G.L. Stimson appealed to the Governments of England, France, Italy, Japan and Germany with a Memorandum, which posted the plan for the collective intervention of these powers to the conflict to the CER. He proposed to create a conciliation commission from representatives of 6 great powers with the imposition of tasks to study the essence of the Soviet-Chinese conflict and develop a program of its settlement. England, Italy and France supported the proposals of the US government. Japan and Germany refused to participate in the planned collective action.

At the end of the summer of 1929, Soviet-Chinese relations aggravated to the limit and were put on the edge of the war.

Despite the prolonged attempts to the Soviet side, to settle the problems that have arisen in peaceful way, only the military intervention of the USSR made it possible to eventually resolve the conflict. Chinese historian Son to Jin says that the USSR has gone on a powerful version of the permission of the QUCH problem because of "the desire to punish Chan Kaisi for its anti-communism and anti-socialism." An analysis of diplomatic documents shows that the USSR still tried to actually find peaceful to resolve the conflict. The main for the USSR was the desire to preserve and strengthen international authority, restore the activities of the CERE on the principles of Beijing and Mukden agreements, stop persecuting Soviet citizens in Manchuria and military performances of the White Guard detachments in the Soviet-Chinese border.

Only in the 20th of November, when the Chinese army in Manchuria completely lost combat capability, Nanjing, without receiving the specific support of the West, was forced to ask the world. On November 21, the staff of the Soviet Consulate General in Harbin (Kokorin and Nechaev) were brought by the Chinese authorities at Art. Border. Tsai Yunshhandded, through them an official statement on the powers received from the Municipal and Nankane authorities for the immediate opening of conflict settlement negotiations. The next day, the NKID agent in Khabarovsk A. Simanovsky passed through Kokorina, who returned to Harbin, a written response with the preliminary conditions of the Soviet side, with the immediate implementation of which the USSR was ready to participate in the Soviet-Chinese conference on the settlement of the situation at the CAW. The conditions were the former - set forth in the notes of the Soviet government of July 13 and 29 August: the official consent of the Chinese side for the restoration of the situation that existed to the conflict for the CERE; Immediate recovery in the rights of the manager and assistant appointed by the Soviet Side; The liberation of Soviet citizens. On November 27, Zhang Xuelien sent a telegram to Moscow about "his principled agreement" with these conditions. True, on November 26, the representative of the Nanice Government in the League of Nations tried to raise the issue of "aggression" of the USSR, but did not receive support. Even the representative of England, generally occupied the hostile USSR position, spoke in favor of making this proposal for consideration by the League of Nations. On November 29, the government of Chan Kaishi, trying to disrupt the negotiations of Zhang Syuelan with Soviet representatives, made a new proposal - to create a "mixed commission" to investigate the circumstances of the conflict with the Chairman - a "citizen of a neutral country". This attempt was undertaken by Chan Kaisha in the hope of achieving participation in the Soviet-Chinese negotiations of representatives of the Western powers, but turned out to be unsuccessful.

International Help of Spain (1936-1939)

I left the hut, went to fight
To land in the Grenada peasants to give

The Soviet Union, responding to the request of the Spanish government, agreed to supply weapons and military equipment to the Spanish Republic. In total, she was delivered from October 1936 to January 1939: airplanes - 648, tanks - 347, armored cars - 60, torpedo boats - 4, artillery guns - 1186, machine guns - 20486, rifles - 497 813, cartridges - 862 million, Shells - 3.4 million, airbabes - 110 thousand.

In addition, in accordance with the request of the republican government, the Soviet Union sent about 3,000 military volunteers to Spain: military advisers, pilots, tankers, sailors and other specialists who fought and worked on the side of the republic. Of these, 189 people died and disappeared. (including 17 employees of the Red Army). The loss of civilian specialists of other departments of the USSR were not taken into account.

The main military advisers in the Spanish Republic in different years were Ya. K. Berzin (1936-1937, which later created Kolyma Gulag), M. Stern (1937-1938) and K. M. Kachanov (1938-1939 GG.).

Provision of international military assistance to China (1923-1941)

I had assistance to weapons, ammunition, military equipment, medicines, although at that time our country itself needed in many ways at the time. A complex international situation, the threat of aggression forced the Soviet government to spend significant funds for defense needs. Still, the Soviet people helped fraternal China.

In the early 1930s of the XX century, after the seizure of the northeastern provinces of China, Japan began to turn the captured territory in the bridgehead to promote North China and to attack the Soviet Union.

Total of the USSR, on the basis of China's contracts, it was supplied (from November 1937 to January 1942): aircraft - 1285 (of them - fighters 777, bombers - 408, training - 100), guns of different calibers - 1600, medium tanks - 82, machine guns Machine and manual - 14 thousand, cars and tractors -1850, a large number of rifles, artsnaders, rifle cartridges, aviation bombs, spare parts for aircraft, tanks, cars, communications, gasoline, medicine and medical equipment

At this difficult time for China, Soviet military specialists at the request of the Government of China again stood next to Chinese warriors. Soviet tanker instructors were preparing the crews of Chinese tanks. In August 1938, a mechanized division was created on the basis of Soviet technicians in the history of the Chinese army. Artilleryrs with large batches of guns arrived in China in April 1938. They made a lot on the organization and training of tools, and artillery officers and infantry officers - the basics of combat interaction. Artillery instructors, like instructors, tankers, were directly involved in hostilities.

In the reflection of the Japanese aggression, the merit of Soviet volunteers. They, in connection with the supply of aircraft from the USSR, became instructors and teachers in Chinese aviation schools and courses, actively participated in hostilities. All this has significantly strengthened China's military aviation. Pilot volunteers did not gentle their lives, having accepted the main blow to Japanese aviation. Particularly distinguished in the battles of 1939, the title Hero of the Soviet Union was awarded. Here are their names: F. P. Polyinin, V. V. Zverev, A. S. Blagoveshchensky, O. N. Borovikov, A. A. Gubenko, S. S. Gaidarenko, T. T. Khryukin, G. P. Kravchenko, S. V. Slyusarev, S. P. Suprun, M. N. Markchenkov, E. M. Nikolanko, I. P. Selivanov, I. S. Sukhov.

By mid-February 1939, China worked in China and participated in the fight against Japanese invaders of 3665 Soviet military specialists. In total, from the fall of 1937 to the beginning of 1942, when Soviet advisers and specialists mainly left China, in the rear and on the fronts of Antiappon War worked and more than 5 thousand Soviet people were fought [363]. Many of them gave lives for the freedom of the fraternal Chinese people. In the fierce battles in the air and on Earth, 227 Soviet volunteers died or died (see Table 80). Their burials are scattered on a significant part of the territory of the PRC

Fighting at Lake Hassan July 29 - August 9, 1938

On July 31, the Japanese forces of the two regiments of the 19th division again invaded the Soviet territory and, delving to four kilometers, seized important stakes in the tactical attitude of the stalls and unnamed in the area of \u200b\u200bLake Hassan (see the XIV scheme). When the Japanese emperor was reported on these actions of the Japanese army, he "expressed satisfaction"

The Soviet command was hastily tightened with the Soviet command, the additional forces were hurried, which on August 6th passed into the offensive and completely cleaned the Soviet territory from the Japanese invaders. New attacks taken by the enemy were repulsed with big losses for him. Active support for the land forces throughout the hostilities provided ships and part of the Pacific Fleet.

In connection with the failure of the Khassan adventure, the Japanese government offered the Government of the USSR to begin negotiations, and on August 11, the fighting between Soviet and Japanese troops was discontinued.

The human losses of Japanese troops during battles at Lake Hasan, according to the available data, amounted to 650 people. killed and 2500 people. wounded

the main data on the loss of Soviet troops in the personnel during two-week fights with the Japanese in the area of \u200b\u200bLake Hasan. They allow you to determine the ratio between the killed and wounded in the Soviet troops, which is calculated as one to 3.5, that is, one killed accounted for almost four wounded. Also draws attention to the high percentage of losses among the younger and medium committee, especially among those killed (38.1%). It should also be noted that from the total number of wounded (2752 people) died in hospitals (for the period from 30.07 to 12.08.1938) 100 people, i.e. 3.6%

Fighting at the Khalkhin Gol River (1939)

Soviet-Mongolian troops, which were summarized by the 1st Army Group under the command of the K. Zhukov Commander, had 57 thousand fighters and commanders. There were 542 guns and mortars, 498 tanks, 385 armored vehicles and 515 aircraft. Establishing the enemy, the Soviet-Mongolian troops on August 20 after powerful air strikes and almost three-hour artillery preparation transferred to the offensive two groups - North and South. As a result of the skillful and decisive actions of these groups, bypassing the opponent flanks, on August 23, the entire Japanese group was surrounded (see the XV scheme). To the outcome on August 31, it was completely crushed. The fighting at the request of Japan ceased [386], and on September 15, an agreement was signed between the USSR, MNR and Japan on the elimination of military conflict. During the battles at Chalchin-goal, the Japanese lost about 61 thousand people. killed, injured and prisoners, including about 45 thousand people. In July-August 1939, their losses were only killed for the entire period of hostilities amounted to about 25 thousand people.

From the Soviet side, the 36th Motion Relief Division (MSD), 57th and 82nd Rifle Divisions (SD), 1st Rifle Regiment 152th, 5th Rifle-Machine Brigade (SDBR ), 6th and 11th Tank Brigades (TBR), 7th, 8th, and 9th Motorbone Brigades (IBBD), 212th Airborne Brigade, 56th Fighter Aviation Regiment, 32nd Cavalry Regiment, 185th artillery regiment, 85th anti-aircraft artillery regiment (Zenap), 37th and 85th arthdivisions of PTO, as well as parts of combat and rear support

Liberation trip to Western Ukraine and Western Belarus (1939)

Towards a friend Hitler

The Soviet government ordered the chief command of the Red Army to carry out the transition across the border and take protected the life and property of the population of Western Ukraine and Western Belarus. To this end, the troops of the Kiev and Belarusian Special Military Districts began a liberation campaign on September 17. To guide the actions of the troops, the management of the Ukrainian and Belarusian fronts were created.

On September 25-28, the troops of these fronts reached its appointed border, which took place on the rivers West Bug, San and others. In the way of the movement of the troops, there were repeatedly met of resistance, consisting of the scattered formations of the Polish army, sediments and gendarmeries. But they quickly suppressed during armed clashes. The main part of the Polish troops on the liberated territory, integer parts and compounds gave up. So, by the Ukrainian front from September 17 to October 2, 1939, 392,334 people were disarmed, including 16,723 officers [405]. Belarusian front from 17 to September 30, 1939 - 60,202 people, of which 2066 officers

In some places, combat clashes have occurred with German troops, which violated the demarcation line previously agreed between both parties and invaded the limits of Western Ukraine and Western Belarus. Thus, in the area of \u200b\u200bLviv on September 19, German troops opened fire on the Soviet Tank Brigade, which joined the city. The battle began, during which the connection lost 3 people. killed and 5 people. The wounded, 3 armored car was bent. The losses of the Germans amounted to: 4 people. Killed, in military equipment - 2 anti-tank guns. The specified incident was, as it turned out, the deliberate provocation of the German command. To avoid such cases, the subsequent opposing parties established (on the proposal of the German government) a demarcation line between the German and Soviet armies, which was announced on September 22 in the Soviet-German communiqué. The line was held "on the rivers of Pisa, Narev, Bug, San"

However, the Soviet Union could not accept the established demarcation line as his new Western border. At the same time, the situation that created the urgent solution to this problem. Therefore, on September 28, 1939, the Soviet-German Treaty of Friendship and the Border was signed in Moscow

Soviet-Finnish war (30.11.1939-12.03.1940)

The reason for the unleashing of the Soviet-Finnish war was the provocative artillery shelling of the Soviet troops from Finland in the area of \u200b\u200bthe village of Mainel, produced on November 26, as a result of which 3 were killed and were injured by 7 Soviet servicemen [420]. Who and whose sanctions was made by this shelling - now it is difficult to say, since the incident that happened to joint efforts was not investigated.

The USSR government on November 28 denounced the joint aggression agreement of 1939 and recalled his diplomatic representatives from Finland. On November 30, the troops of the Leningrad Military District received an order to discard the Finnish troops from Leningrad.

The fighting of the Soviet troops in the war with Finland is divided into two stages: the first continued from November 30, 1939 to February 10, 1940, the second - from February 11 to March 13, 1940.

At the first stage, the troops of the 14th Army, in cooperation with the Northern Fleet in December, was mastered by the peninsulas of the fishing and medium, Petsamo and closed Finland to the exit to the Barents Sea. At the same time, the troops of the 9th Army, which were coming south, wedged into the depths of the enemy by 35-45 km. Part of the next 8th army passed with battles ahead to 80 km, but some of them got into the environment and were forced to retreat.

The most severe and bloody battles unfolded on the Karelian Isthmus, where the 7th Army fell. By December 12, her troops, with the support of aviation and the fleet, overcame a strong strip of collateral and came to the front edge of the Moornerheim's main strip along its entire width. However, an attempt to break through this strip was unsuccessful. Forces proved not enough.

The lack of forces was acutely felt in the 9th, 8th and 15th armies. The human losses of the Soviet troops in December 1939 were large and accounted for 69,986 people. [421] Of them:

killed and died from wounds and diseases 11 676;
disappeared 5 965;
wounded 35 800;
contused 1 164;
oven 493;
5 725 frostbed;
illicated 9,63.

In late December, the chief command of the Red Army decided to stop unsuccessful attacks and proceed to careful preparation of the breakthrough. To this end, on the Karelian Carce of January 7, 1940. The North-West Front, headed by the commander I rank S. K. Tymoshenko, a member of the Military Council, the secretary of the Leningrad Regional Committee and the CBP (b) town of A. A. Zhdanov and the head of the headquarters by Comandarm II rank I. V. Smorodinov. The front of the front includes the 7th Army (commanded it from December 9, 1939. Commander 2 rank K. A. Metskov) and the 13th Army (Commander Comkor V. D. Grendal). Both armies were strengthened by aviation, artillery, tank and engineering parts.

At this time, the total number of existing troops was intensified. So, if on January 1, 1940, there were 550,757 people in their ranks. (Of these, 46776 commanders, 79520 junior commanders and 424461 fighters), then by the first numbers of March, the number of the army reached 760578 people. (Of these, 78309 commanders, 126590 younger commanders and 555579 fighters) or increased by about 1.4 times. At the same time, the regular number of troops was 916,613 people. On February 12, 1940, the 15th Army was allocated from the 8th Army.

On February 11, the second, final stage of the Soviet-Finnish War began. The army of the North-Western Front after the powerful artillery training was transferred to the offensive and during three-day fierce battles broke through the main defense strip on the Mannerheim line.

In conclusion, it should be said that, despite the victory, the achievement of the goals and the instructions acquired by the Soviet troops of combat experience, the war with Finland glory did not bring the winner. Moreover, the failures of the troops of the Leningrad Military District at a breakthrough of the Mannerheim lines during the December offensive associated with the miscalculations of the Chief Command of the Red Army, hesitated to some extent public opinion in a number of Western countries regarding the military capabilities of the Soviet Union. "The frontal offensive, undertaken by the Russians on the Karelian Isthmus, is first too weak forces - notes by the West German Military Historian K. Tippelskirkh," said Mennerheim's "line Mannerheim" skilled actions stubbornly defeated Finns. He passed the whole December, and the Russians, despite the fruitless attacks, could not achieve essential success. " He further talks about the great losses of the Soviet troops during the battles behind the Mannerheim's line about their "tactical and badness" and "bad command", with the result that "all over the world there was an unfavorable opinion regarding the combat capability of the Red Army. Undoubtedly, it subsequently had a significant impact on the decision of Hitler "

The Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945

To consider this war in this topic of intentions was not, as it requires a separate very extensive topic. Here, I just note this event according to chronology

Civil War in China (1946-1950)

The Soviet command had assisted in the creation of the main base of Chinese revolutionary forces in Manchuria. Here, the Chinese leadership, relying on the combat experience of the Soviet Army and with the help of its advisers and instructors, created a strong combat-ready army, able to successfully solve the tasks of the modern war. It was necessary for the PRC, proclaimed by an independent state on October 1, 1949.

After the withdrawal of Soviet military connections from the territory of China, the assistance of democratic antigomyintan forces continued.

With the transition of China's People's Liberation Army to the strategic offensive of the army's need increased. The management of the CCP appealed to the Soviet government to strengthen the provision of military assistance. The Council of Ministers of the USSR on September 19, 1949 decided to send military specialists to China. Soon in Beijing was already the main military adviser and his assistants. In early October 1949, experts began work to create 6 flight and technical schools. In total by the end of December 1949, more than one thousand Soviet military specialists were sent to NAAK. In difficult conditions and in a short time, they made a lot to prepare pilots, tankers, artilleryrs, infantrymen ...

When the threat to the air attack of the Khomintanovs on the peaceful cities of the liberated areas of China, Soviet experts took an active part in the reflection of their aviation raids. In this regard, the Council of Ministers of the USSR adopted a resolution (February 1950) on the establishment of a group of Soviet troops to participate in the controversial Shanghai defense.

He headed the grouping of the Soviet military troops in Shanghai the well-known Soviet military commander, the future Marshal of the Soviet Union, Lieutenant-General P.F. Batitsky. Deputy Commander of the Group of Forces: Aviation - Lieutenant-General Aviation S.V. Slyusarev, by anti-aircraft artillery - Colonel S.L. Spiridonov, he commanded the 52nd anti-aircraft artillery division.

Total Soviet aviation parts held 238 aircraft-flights to cover airfields and Shanghai objects, to intercept the opponent's aircraft.

In addition, Soviet specialists trained the personnel of the Chinese army actions in combat conditions, and from August 1, 1950 began to teach Chinese warriors to hold the Soviet air defense equipment.

In October 1950, the entire Shanghai air defense system was transferred to NAK, and the Soviet parts and compounds were transferred to their homeland, partly on the formation of the 64th Fighter Aviation Corps to cover strategic facilities and troops in Northeast China and North Korea.

During the execution of the Soviet military specialists of international debt in China from 1946 to 1950, died, died from RAS and 936 people diseases. Of these, officers are 155, sergeants - 216, soldiers - 521 and 44 people. - From among civilian specialists. The burial of the fallen Soviet internationalists is preserved in the People's Republic of China.

War in Korea (1950-1953)

In the war against the DPRK, which began on June 25, 1950, the United North Korea flag except the South Korean and American troops took part in the compounds, parts and divisions of the Armed Forces 15 (Australia, Belgium, United Kingdom, Greece, Turkey, France, etc.).

The Government of the Soviet Union considered the war in Korea as a domestic liberation war of the Korean people and in difficult times for the DPRK, guided by the interests of the protection of a friendly country, sent it a large number of weapons, military equipment and various material resources. Before the war in the DPRK was located 4293 Soviet specialists, including 4020 servicemen.

Soviet pilots and anti-aircraft people played a crucial role in the reflection of American aggression. They covered terrestrial troops, strategic objects, the city of China and Korea from massive raids of American aviation. Direct participation in the battles from November 1950 to July 1953 received the Soviet 64th Fighter Aviation Corps. The approximate number of the corps in 1952 reached almost 26 thousand people.

Entry by pilots accounted for difficult conditions, overcoming the large voltage of physical and moral forces, constantly risking life. The experienced commanders were driven into battle - participants of the Great Patriotic War. Among which were I. N. Kozhevitub, G.A. Lobov, N.V. Sutyagin, E.G. Pepliaev, S.M. Kramarenko, A.V. Allyukhin and many others.

They and their combat comrades successfully conducted a fight with superior United forces - with the pilots from the United States, South Korea, Australia and other countries, did not give the aggressor to act unpunished. In total, the Soviet pilots produced more than 63 thousand combat flights, participated in 1790 air battles, during which 1309 enemy aircraft were shot down, including fighter aircraft - 1097 aircraft, with fire of anti-aircraft artillery - 212. 35 pilots were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

In total, the war in Korea, which became destructive and bloody, Soviet aviation and other compounds participating in the reflection of US aircraft raids, lost 335 aircraft and 120 pilots [675].

The general irrevocable losses of our parts and compounds amounted to 315 people, of them officers - 168, sergeants and soldiers - 147.

Almost all the dead and the dead Soviet soldiers rest on someone else's land, which they courageously defended, - in the Liaodong Peninsula, mainly in Port Arthur (Lyushun), next to the Russian warriors who fell in the Russian-Japanese war 1904-1905.

War in Vietnam (1965-1974)

In accordance with Geneva Agreements (1954), which put an end to military actions, Vietnam was divided by the temporary demarcation line into two parts - North and South. In 1956, the general elections of the authorities under international control were scheduled to resolve the issue of unification of the country. The South Names, violating agreements, created their state education "Republic of Vietnam". Saigon regime (Saygon - the capital of the Southern State) with the help of the United States created a well-armed army, armed clashes with government troops began in the south.

When Vietnamese patriotic forces began an offensive on the territory of South Vietnam, the receipt of the latest types of weapons increased from the Soviet Union. The advancing divisions of the Vietnamese army were equipped with small arms, tanks, various artillery systems ... All this largely provided the victory of the DRV.

For 8 years of war, the North-Vietnamese pilots under the leadership of Soviet specialists and with their direct participation held 480 air fighting, they shot down 350 enemy aircraft and lost 131 of their aircraft.

During the war in Vietnam, more than 6 thousand Soviet servicemen took part in it, as well as various civilian personnel professionals. The losses among them amounted to 16 people.

Caribbean crisis (1962-1964)

Military cooperation of the USSR and Cuba began at the end of 1960

At that time, in the order of military and military-technical assistance, Soviet armored armored, artillery-mortar and small armament began to come to Cuba. A group of Soviet military specialists also arrived on the island of freedom for the preparation of gun settlements, tank crews ... This was caused by the desire of the Soviet leadership to help Cuba in its struggle for independence. However, the US military-political pressure in Cuba intensified.

In May 1962, on an expanded meeting of the Presidium of the CPSU Central Committee, it was decided to accommodate the Soviet missiles of medium-range with nuclear charges in Cuba - as the only way to protect Cuba from direct American invasion. This decision taken at the request of the Cuban side was enshrined in the Soviet-Cuban contract. A plan for preparing and implementing outlined activities has been developed. The operation received the code name "Anadyr".

Many dozens of ocean vehicles took place for the transport of personnel, weapons and various military equipment. In total, within two months, 42 thousand people were secretly transported to the island. servicemen with weapons, military equipment, food and building materials. As a result, a combat-ready, well-armed group of Soviet troops, about 43 thousand people, was created.

The situation worsened even more when a US intelligence aircraft was shot down by the Soviet rocket. The threat of rocket-nuclear world war increased.

The training and combat activities of the Soviet troops in Cuba did not cost without the victims: 66 Soviet soldiers and 3 people. From the number of civilian personnel died (died) under various circumstances related to the fulfillment of the duties of military service, including during the salvation of people during a strong tropical hurricane in the fall of 1963

Algeria (1962-1964)

In total, when performing international debt in Algeria, in different years, the catastrophes were killed and under other circumstances, 25 Soviet specialists were died and illness, including 1 person. - When demining.

Arab-Israeli Wars (1967-1974)

In the struggle for the independence and state integrity of Egypt, the Soviet Union played a major role. He constantly provided a diplomatic and military-technical support to the state to the path of democratic transformations. So it was during the Suez crisis in 1956

However, in 1967, the situation in the area again sharply aggravated, everything spoke about the preparation of the parties to war. Egypt's armed forces numbered up to 300 thousand people.

Preparing for war with Israel and the Armed Forces of Syria and Jordan. Powerful shock groups created Israel. The command of Israel was ahead of the actions of the military leadership of the Arab countries and first caused an air strike at the positions of Egypt. Following this, the armored forces of Israel crossed the truce line and moved along the Sinai Peninsula to the Suez Channel ... Military actions and against Syria began.

During the war that lasted six days (from 5 to 10 June 1967), the Israeli troops inflicted a serious defeat of Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Palestinian armed formations. They occupied the Sinai Peninsula, Gaza Strip, Golan Heights and the West Bank of the Jordan River. In this case, the losses of the parties were significant.

The restraining factor for the aggressor was the presence of the Soviet warships, ready for decisive actions off the coast of Egypt. From the USSR to Egypt and Syria began strengthening weapons, military equipment and military specialists. Thanks to this, Egypt and Syria managed to restore their combat force.

Conditional calm continued not long. The first air battles began in the spring of 1968 at the end of 1969. After careful aerial intelligence, Israeli aircraft suppressed the Egyptian air defense agents and began to strike at the central regions of Egypt. The Metallurgical Plant in Heluane, built with the USSR, was destroyed, where 80 people died.

President of Egypt G. A. Nasser appealed to Moscow with a request to create an "effective missile panel" and sending to Egypt Soviet air defense and aviation. This request was satisfied.

In total, 21 Soviet anti-aircraft missile division was deployed in the territory of Egypt. On military airfields, two regiments of MiG-21 interceptors were based. These forces became the main in the reflection of the raids of Israeli aviation to Egypt, resumed in the summer of 1970

When the fighting has fallen in the hostilities, Soviet soldiers were engaged in servicing technology, the training of Egyptian soldiers and officers. After the death of the Nasser, the worsening of Soviet-Egyptian relations began. 15 thousand Soviet military specialists were derived from the country. However, Egypt continued to receive Soviet weapons.

The leaders of Egypt and Syria A. Sadat and X. Assad decided to continue the war against Israel. The attack on the position of Israeli troops on Sinai and at the Golan altitudes began on October 6, 1973. Large battles with the use of tanks, armored vehicles, airplanes, porths, anti-aircraft missiles occurred. Both sides carried tangible losses. The United States has begun intensive delivering weapons to Israel. Required help Egypt and Syria rendered the USSR. The Soviet Union has deployed significant naval forces in East Mediterranean to eliminate the possible attempts of Israel to disrupt Soviet military supplies.

Israeli tank columns, carrying losses, continued the offensive, joining Cairo and Damascus. A. Sadat appealed to US and USSR governments to send military contingents to Egypt to stop the offensive of the Israelis. The Soviet side announced agreement with the request of Egypt. After long negotiations, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution providing for the immediate cessation of fire with a stop of troops on the positions occupied by them on October 22. Parties were offered to start negotiations. And only on January 18, 1974, the Egyptian representatives signed an agreement on the separation of troops with the Israelites. A similar agreement was signed between Israel and Syria. Soviet military specialists returned to their homeland.

In this Arab-Israeli war, Soviet warriors are pilots, racers, sailors, other military specialists once again proved their loyalty to patriotic and international debt. However, it was achieved by severely hard labor and human victims. During the war years in Egypt, 49 Soviet soldiers were died in Egypt. In addition, two officers were killed in Syria and one general died of illness.

Somali-Ethiopian War (1977-1979)

Assisting Ethiopia, the Soviet Union made efforts to politically solve the internal problems. However, he officially stated that participation in the internal conflict was not part of the activities of the Soviet military advisers and specialists. And they visited Ethiopia from December 1977 to November 1979 several thousand. During this time, the irrevocable losses of Soviet soldiers amounted to 33 people.

Hungary (1956)

In 1956, an armed performance of anti-socialist forces occurred in Hungary. Its organizers used gross mistakes and perversions made by the leadership of the Hungarian Party of Workers: curvature in the field of economic policy, serious violations of legality. Some of the youth, intelligentsia and other segments of the population was involved in the armed struggle.

In this difficult situation of the group of figures of the Hungarian Party of Workers on November 4, 1956, the revolutionary workers' and peasant government were formed, a temporary central committee of the Hungarian Socialist Workers Party was established. The new government asked for help from the USSR.

Military units of the Soviet Army, on the basis of the Warsaw Treaty, took part in the elimination of the armed speeches of the anti-government forces.

Border Military Conflicts in the Far East and Kazakhstan (1969)

In the 60s of the XX century, in connection with the so-called cultural revolution, the anti-Soviet orientation in China was abruptly prevailed in China, both in the inner and foreign Policy. The Chinese leadership at that time appeared a desire to unilaterally change in some places the passage of the state border between the USSR and the PRC.

Violating the borderline regime, groups of civilians and servicemen began to systematically enter the Soviet territory, from which every time they expelled border guards without the use of weapons.

The most dangerous and aggressive were armed provocations in the Damansky Island area - on the Ussuri River and Lake Jalanashkol - in Kazakhstan.

On March 2, 1969, a secretly focusing up to 300 armed soldiers, the Chinese violated the state border and seized the Soviet island of Damansky (300 km south of Khabarovsk). The violators were expelled with decisive actions of the border troops units from Soviet territory.

Focusing on March 15 to the shelf of infantry reinforced with artillery and tanks, the Chinese command took a new attempt to capture the island. As a result of joint actions of Soviet border guards, as well as units of the Far Eastern Military District, repeated provocation was stopped.

In the battles of the island of Damansky, for the period from March 2 to March 21, Soviet troops lost 58 people killed and died from RAS, 94 people were injured and contrived. (Table 212).

On August 13, 1969, Soviet border guards eliminated the new armed provocation of the Chinese, this time in Kazakhstan.

In the battle at Lake Jalanashkol died 2 and wounded 10 Soviet border guards.

War in Afghanistan (December 25, 1979 - February 15, 1989)

In December 1979, the Soviet leadership decided to introduce troops to Afghanistan. It meant in mind that the compounds and parts will be arranged by garrisons and will be taken under the protection of the most important objects.

The input and placement of the contingent of Soviet troops in the DRA were conducted from December 25, 1979. Until the middle of January 1980, it was included in the middle of the 40th army with parts of security and service, divisions - 4, separate brigades - 5, separate regiments - 4 , Communication regiments - 4, helicopter regiments - 3, pipeline brigade - 1, brigade of material support - 1 and some other parts and institutions.

Thus, the Soviet troops introduced into Afghanistan turned out to be involved in the internal military conflict on the government.

If we take losses of only the Soviet Army (irrevocable - 14427 people, sanitary - 466425 people), then they were at the second stage of combat activities (March 1980 - April 1985). For 62 months, they accounted for 49% of the total number of all losses.

There are still a decent number of wars, which I have not introduced - already confused.
This last war, Chechen, who have already gone simply under the numbers and I do not know where one number ends and the other starts.
This is the last aggression in the territory of Georgia ... and no one knows - the last one.
This is the Transnistrian conflict and much more ...

Not every country boasts such a long track record. Is that Hitler. That is also very famously challenged in Europe.

How well, that people do not live on the moon - we would go there, someone helped .... at the request of the Lunatic brothers

A little victorious war, which was to calm the revolutionary moods in society, is still regarded by many of Russia as aggression from Russia, but few people look into history textbooks and knows that military actions unexpectedly started Japan.

The results of the war were very and very sad - the loss of the Pacific Fleet, lives of 100 thousand soldiers and the phenomenon of complete prissthood, both the royal generals and the monarch of the dynasty in Russia.

2. World War II (1914-1918)

Long thanks to the conflict of the world's leading powers, the first large-scale war, which revealed all the shortcomings and the backwardness of the Tsarist Russia, who even finished the re-equipment. The Allies on Antante were frankly weak, and only the heroic efforts and talented commander at the end of the war were allowed to start a clonion of the scales in the direction of Russia.

However, society was not needed by the "Brusilovsky breakthrough", he needed change and bread. Not without the help of German intelligence, the revolution was accomplished and the world was achieved, on a very difficult conditions for Russia.

3. Civil War (1918-1922)

The troubled time of the twentieth century for Russia continued. The Russians defended themselves from the countries of the invaders, the brother walked on his brother, and indeed these four years were one of the most heavier, along with the Second World War. It is pointless to describe these events in such material, and military actions were only on the territory of the former Russian Empire.

4. Fighting the Basmology (1922-1931)

Not everyone accepted new power and collectivization. The remnants of the White Guard found a refuge in Fergana, Samarkand and Khorezme easily knocked out dissatisfied bass for the resistance of the young Soviet army and could not calm them until 1931.

In principle, this conflict, again, cannot be regarded as an external, because it was the echo of the Civil War, the "White Sun of the Desert" to help you.

Under the Tsarist Russia, KVA was an important strategic object of the Far East, simplified the development of wild territories and was in the joint management of China and Russia. In 1929, the Chinese decided that the time had a weakened USSR railway and adjacent territories to selected.

However, a grouping of Chinese 5 times in numbers was defeated under Harbin and Manchuria.

By the way after the Second World War, in Japan, 13 military workers were executed for the discontinuation of the conflict at Lake Hasan.

7. Hike to Western Ukraine and Western Belarus (1939)

The campaign was aimed at protecting the borders and warning hosts from Germany, which is already in the open attacked Poland. The Soviet army, oddly enough, as the hostilities, repeatedly faced with the resistance of both Polish and German forces.

Unconditional aggression from the USSR, which expecting expanding the northern territories and cover Leningrad cost the Soviet army very large losses. Having spent 1.5 years instead of three weeks, and receiving 65 thousand killed and 250 thousand wounded, the USSR pushed the border and provided Germany's new ally in the coming war.

9. Great Patriotic War (1941-1945)

The current rewriters of history textbooks shout about the insignificant role of the USSR in the victory over fascism and atrocities of Soviet troops on the liberated territories. but adequate people It is still consider this great feat of the liberation war, and advised to see at least a monument to the Soviet soldier-liberator established by the people of Germany.

Help volunteers and weapons to Algerians who fought for independence from France, again appeared confirming the growing sphere of the interests of the USSR.

The following will follow a list of combat operations with the participation of Soviet military instructors, pilots, volunteers, and other intelligence groups. Undoubtedly, all these facts are interference in the affairs of another state, but in their essence - the answer to exactly the same interventions from the United States, England, France, Great Britain, Japan, and others.

26. Chechen Wars (1994-1996, 1999-2009)

The brutal and bloody civil war in the North Caucasus happened again at the time when the new government was weak and only gained strength and restored the army. Despite the coverage in the Western media of the data of Wars as aggression by Russia, by the majority of historians, these events are considered as the struggle of the Russian Federation for the integrity of their territory.

1. Soviet-Polish War, 1920 It began on April 25, 1920, the sudden attack of Polish troops, which had more than a two-fold advantage in a living force (148 thousand people against 65 thousand in the Red Army). By the beginning of May, the Polish army went to Pripyat and Dnieper, took Kiev. In May-June, positional battles began, in June-August, the Red Army passed on the offensive, conducted a number of successful operations (May operation, Kiev operation, Novograd-Volynskaya, July, Rivne operation) and reached Warsaw and Lviv. But such a sharp breakthrough turned into a separation from parts of the supply, sumports. The first equestrian army was one on one with the superior enemy forces. Losing many people with prisoners, the Red Army parts were forced to retreat. In October, negotiations began, which in five months ended with the signing of the Riga peace treaty, according to which the territories of Western Ukraine and Western Belarus were rejected from the Soviet state.

2. Soviet-Chinese conflict, 1929 Provocosed by the Chinese military jam on July 10, 1929. In violation of the 1924 Agreement on the sharing of the Sino-Eastern Railway, which was built at the end of the 19th century, the Russian Empire, the Chinese side seized it, arrested over 200 citizens of our country. After that, the Chinese focused 132,000 grouping in the immediate vicinity of the borders of the USSR. Began violations of Soviet borders and shelling of the Soviet territory. After unsuccessful attempts to peacefully achieve mutual understanding and conflict resolution, the Soviet government was forced to take measures to protect the territorial integrity of the country.
