REBELLION. THE NATIONAL LIBERATION REVOLUTION OF THE POPULATION OF EASTERN UKRAINE
About events in the South-East of Ukraine (April 2014)
Opinion of the CC AUCPB
Following the March 16 national referendum on the status of the region and the almost unanimous decision of the people for reunification with Russia, on March 18, Crimea and Sevastopol legally became part of the Russian Federation as two separate entities of the Russian Federation. Life in the Crimea and Sevastopol is gradually entering into a normal rhythm. Russia in this process is intensely and comprehensively assisting the region's population. Simultaneously, in Crimea the formation of the Russian political system (party building) is underway. From the Russian Federation have rushed to Crimea the parties "United Russia", "Fair Russia", the Liberal Democratic Party, and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation...
The successful removal of Crimea and Sevastopol from the fascist Kiev maydan junta was a good example for the Russian-speaking regions of South-East of Ukraine.
The formation of the People's Army of the South-East has begun in order to defend these areas from the militants' of the “right sector" who are being constantly guided by the Kiev authorities of Ukraine towards the east to carry out punitive operations against the "separatists". In response to this, a popular uprising began engulfing Luhansk, Kharkiv, Donetsk, and other cities. Donetsk became the epicenter of the protest.
On April 7, Donetsk and Kharkov citizens protesting against the new "authorities", seized and occupied buildings of the regional administrations, and in Lugansk the SBU building was seized.
The People’s Soviet of Donetsk region, the establishment of which was announced on April 7 at a rally in the region, announced the creation of the People's Republic of Donetsk and the desire to join the Russian Federation after the referendum on the matter no later than May 11 (RIA. news from the scene).
"The People's Republic of Donetsk is being created within the administrative boundaries of Donetsk region. This decision shall enter into force immediately after the referendum "- one of its leaders who read the decision of the People’s Soviet at a meeting in the building of regional administration, at which protesters took control yesterday.
From the flagpole near the regional administration building, the Donetsk region flag was removed and replaced with the flag of the "Donetsk Republic" organization (a red-black-blue tricolor). The anthem of the Soviet Union was played at the same time. After the announcement of the declaration of the People’s Soviet of Donetsk region on the establishment of the Donetsk People's Republic in the central square of Donetsk, the "Internationale" also sounded out.
The People’s Soviet was formed in connection with the refusal of the former authorities to hold a referendum on the status of the Donetsk region.
Similar events developed in Kharkov. In Kharkov at a rally in the square came the words: "Arise, great country! Rise up to a fight to the death!" which a call for an assault of the regional administration and the proclamation of the People's Republic of Kharkov.
The confrontation of the Kiev junta awoke Donbass.
Unrest also covers Dnipropetrovsk, Odessa. People are running out of patience ... The protesters are demanding the cancellation of elections in May, a referendum on the status of the extended regions of their autonomy. They are demanding a federal state instead of a unitary one and demanding the Russian language have official status, as well as opposing fascism. The confrontation of the people of South-East of Ukraine and Kiev the fascist junta is growing with each passing hour. According to latest information, the uprising joined by Nikolaev. Protesters chant slogans "One for All" and "All for one!". The participants are going to storm the building of the regional administration. The chronicle of events is very quickly updated.
The Kiev government is in turmoil. At a meeting of the Anti-Crisis HQ on the night of April 7, a decision was made to carry out "anti-terrorist" operations, ban political parties and organizations that call for "separatism", and to prosecute political activists. The Kiev junta on April 7 sent three military combat units into Donetsk and Lugansk regions. It is preparing to transfer more police units and "right sector" militants. The head of the "right sector" Yarosh in the April 7 statement about a general mobilization to fight the rebels in the southeast of Ukraine ended with the words: "Death to the Kremlin occupiers!".
On April 7, in the sky over the rebellious cities warplanes of the fascist Kiev junta circled overhead. It has been learned that included in the punitive operation of violent suppression of the protest movement in the South-East of Ukraine by the Kiev junta have been involved 150 American military experts of the Private Military Organization, disguised as special forces of the MIA of Ukraine "Falcon" (“Sokol”).
Recognizing the inherent right of peoples to self-determination up to the formation of independent states, we Bolsheviks support the creation of Donetsk and Kharkov Peoples’ Republics.
We are in full solidarity with the struggle of the people of the South-East of Ukraine against the "new power" in Kiev which gained this power through unconstitutional state coup which is openly fascist in its aims and methods, and that the authorities are openly terrorist and anti-people, with emphasis on Ukrainian ultra-nationalism preaching hatred to neighbouring countries and peoples.
We support the demand for a federal structure of Ukraine, according to which citizens (in particular, in the South-East) will determine their own economic, political, and social policy in the region.
We consider the opposition of the people to the "new power" in Ukraine as a class opposition to the core. People are opposed to the criminal oligarchy robbing people of Ukraine, who made them poor and organized the Kiev Maidan, with urgent amendment to the rights of Ukrainian citizens. It should be remembered that the oligarchy on both sides of the barricades - and the one who brought Yanukovych to power, and the one who organized the maidan - are opposed to workers and, the oligarchy action is always directed against the working people.
Ukraine's population is experiencing these days a great period of revolutionary struggle against the fascist regime, fighting for their basic social and national interests. As Lenin said: "Revolutions teach, of course, with such rapidity and such thoroughness that it seems impossible in the era of peaceful political development." Here is the rapid development of skills and self-organization, establishing a clear structure and, above all, finding - with whom you can go into battle, who is an unreliable ally, awhere the real enemy is. Developing events in the South-East of Ukraine clearly confirm the validity of Leninist principles. You can be confident in the future development of a social, Soviet leap in heroic struggle unfolding in Ukraine.
Working people of Ukraine! More actively lead the fight for a socialist country!
Only by becoming socialist, will Ukraine be able to regain its independence as a nation and gain true independence from foreign capital.
Victory will be ours!

===============================
INTO THE ARENA OF HISTORY ENTERS THE WORKING CLASS, THE TOILING MASSES OF RUSSIA
The Bandera National Fascist coup in Ukraine has ended, in which extreme reactionary treacherous forces have come to power and have now surrendered Ukraine over to the slaughter by the West. They are now doing everything in order to pit Ukraine against Russia, to pit the two fraternal peoples in an internecine slaughter.
Of course, the followers of Bandera- Shukhevych did not expect that in eastern Ukraine and Crimea a popular resistance against fascism in Ukraine would rise up. Still strong in the eastern regions is the historical memory of the exploits of the Soviet Army defending their homeland and saving the world from fascism, as well as the memory of the Banderites shooting Soviet soldiers in the back and ruthlessly destroying peaceful civilians.
Now in the Ukrainian media, in connection with the reunification of the Crimea with Russia, has been raised chauvinist anti-Russian propaganda, calling the Russians aggressors, invaders and occupiers therefore trying to show Russia as an enemy of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people.
As we have repeatedly said, the West, the US-Zionist capital does not need Ukraine itself.
The purpose of this fascist coup was to prevent two friendly nations reuniting to deprive Ukraine of Russia, to turn it into a springboard for throwing US-NATO armies on Russia (i.e, for waging war with Russia) to colonize Russia, capture its natural resources, enslaving its people.
What is the likely course of future events?
Reunification of Crimea with Russia, is being used by the U.S. and the West as a pretext for increasing tension, to achieve international isolation of Russia and to prepare and launch military aggression against Russia.
All talk about resetting relations has been forgotten, which were conducted in 2008-2010 to encourage Russia to sign a completely unequal START-3 Treaty on Strategic Offensive Reductions. As a result of this Agreement, as shown by a number of military experts (see my pamphlet "START-3 - a betrayal of national interests of Russia" and the book "U.S. Army"), the STRATEGIC NUCLEAR FORCES of Russia by 2015 and maximum to 2018, will cease to be a real threat to the United States. At the same time, the U.S. continues to build up its military potential.
This build-up goes in two directions:
1. A multi-layered missile defence system (missile defence) is being formed to prevent even possible break through of Russian ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles) onto territory of the United States;
2. U.S. naval and air forces are armed with cruise missiles and other precision offensive weapons, equipped with both conventional and nuclear warheads (and not subject to the START-3 Treaty, i.e. not subject to control and reduction). The quantity of such cruise missiles from the U.S. at the beginning of the 2010-s amounted to already several thousand and is steadily building up pace. This weapon has been created in order to hit the mine-shaft installations of Russian ICBMs and not to allow the launch of these missiles in order to strike back (which the United States is always so afraid of, and is what kept them from starting a war against Russia).
In addition, Russia is already surrounded by a ring of US-NATO military bases. In particular, the Air Force bases in the Baltic, from airfields which (former Soviet Air Force airfields, by the way) the flight time to Moscow and Leningrad is from 10-20 to a maximum of 30 minutes. At these bases are available now NATO Air Force aircraft equipped with tactical nuclear weapons (also not subject to any international control and not subject to reduction).
With the signing of an association agreement with the EU (and the political part of this agreement the Prime Minister of Ukraine Yatsenyuk already had recently signed), Ukraine, in fact, is drawn into the NATO military chariot. In Ukraine, under the pretext of protection against "aggression" from Russia, military units from NATO can be placed, and placed on the border with Russia.
In fact, under the patronage of the West, the fascist coup in Ukraine has put the world on the brink of nuclear war.
World imperialism sees no other way out of a comprehensive crisis that hit it, except in the ways of unleashing new wars and conflicts, further conquest of countries and peoples, capturing their natural raw materials and enslavement of peoples.
US-NATO imperialists believe that they have all necessary military, political, ideological, diplomatic, financial, economic and other conditions for starting a war against Russia and to achieve victory in the war. Moreover, it is not excluded that the US-NATO can, to achieve full and unconditional victory over Russia, also use tactical (and, perhaps, and strategic) nuclear weapons. Ultimately, a weapon is not created for it to lie rusting in warehouses and then discarded. The weapon is created with the purpose of its use in war. In addition, plans are well-known for a U.S. nuclear attack on the Soviet Union, which existed since the advent of the nuclear bomb and then nuclear missiles. The only thing holding them back is the inevitable retaliatory destructional strike. Now this inevitability is practically reduced to zero (or close to zero), so that now the U.S. military is unlikely to feel restrained.
The time factors should also be noted, namely, the coincidence in time of the national-fascist coup in Ukraine with the time of weakening of the nuclear missile potential of Russia.
This coup was planned by Western experts for the end of 2014 or early 2015, i.e. for the period of the imminent presidential election campaign in Ukraine to replace Yanukovych with other politicians fully obedient to the West and acting in its best interests.
But the Yanukovych-Azarov refusal to sign an association agreement with the EU in the form of one quite unfavorable for Ukraine accelerated by exactly one year, the carrying out of the fascist coup.
***
The question arises, what do we do?
The answer - prepare for war. Hence the well-known postulate: If you want peace - prepare for war.
But can we win this war? I think that current bourgeois Russia, with its weakened armed forces for more than 20 years, can not win in the coming war. It may become prey for the US-NATO.
And then onto the historical arena will inevitably enter the Russian people that will destroy the bourgeois Putin regime and take power into their own hands.
And what is going to happen, is being showed the course of events in Ukraine. No one (neither the present temporary rulers, nor their Western hosts) expected that the eastern regions of Ukraine and Crimea would rise up to resistance to the Nazi regime. And no matter what the current rulers or repression used, the people awoken will not be driven back to sleep.
The eastern regions of Ukraine are Russian and pro-Russian Ukrainians, i.e. Ukrainians loyal to fraternal friendship and remembering our common history, our lives in the same motherland - the Soviet Union, our common mother - Kievan Rus.
The masses of duped Western Ukrainian people will rise to the struggle when they realize that the sacrifices made during this pseudo-revolution were completely in vain, that their relatives were killed just for placing one more bourgeoisie rope around their neck in the place of another bourgeoisie. Note that those who died were completely unprepared and naive people who believed in the fact that Ukraine was actually carrying out a revolution. Fighters of that very same fascist "right sector", are highly trained for combat in urban areas and thus avoided casualties.
Of course, contempt will not arise immediately, and will be very painful. Still, nearly a quarter of a century has passed with brainwashing in the direction of fascist Bandera-Shukhevych, OUN-UPA fighters are heroes, and Lenin-Stalin communist Bolsheviks are torturers and traitors of the people of Ukraine.
We Bolsheviks understand that the beginning of disarmament and ideological degeneration of the Soviet people began with Khrushchev starting off with his anti-Stalinism and his anti-Stalin policies. Thus, the brainwashing desired by Zionist-American capital has almost been carried on for nearly 60 years, immediately following the death of Stalin.
In the eastern regions of Ukraine and, I think, in Russia, anti-Stalinism is not so strong and not everyone has been hit with this anti-communist virus.
But Putin's rating, at least as reported by the sociological service, is currently, especially in connection with the firm position taken by the Putin regime in the resolution of the Crimean issue, is very high and surpasses 70-75%. And only the threat of a possible defeat of Russia in the coming war will save the Russian people from all illusions still taking place.
Working people of Russia, the working class will understand that it must take its destiny into its own hands, otherwise they will for a very long period become slaves of the West, transnational corporations and banks and will be doomed to extinction, and Russia then will become a colony of the West, until its breakup and, following Ukraine, disappear from the political map of the world in its present historical form.
What forms the struggle will take on for liberation is now difficult to say. Perhaps it will be a guerrilla war (a war for the liberation of Russia from colonization). It is possible that Russia may pass through a stage of military dictatorship, as Ukraine is now plunged into the maelstrom of fascism.
But, in any case, onto the arena of the historic struggle will enter the working class, the toiling masses of Russia, which inevitably will be supported by their class brothers in other Soviet republics. At least, already making its way is the alliance of the toiling masses of the eastern regions of Ukraine with their Russian brethren.
Of course, nuclear war could lead to the destruction of humanity. But I think that the imperialists are not suicidal, they need a war to achieve world domination in this world and not in the hereafter.
But, we have no right to hope on the off chance.
We must prepare now for the coming and increasingly likely war. And this primarily refers to the revolutionary youth: to engage in physical training, learn to master weapons, to go to serve in the army (I am talking about Russia and concerning the so-called Ukrainian army which is drawn up as seeing Russia as an enemy is another question), to acquire the most advanced knowledge, study and master computer technology, perfectly able to work in cyberspace (victory or defeat in this area can cost a victory or defeat in a war as a whole). Well, of course, master Marxism-Leninism and to be able to apply this knowledge in their practice.
The task before us, in case of war by the U.S. - NATO imperialists against Russia is to turn the imperialist war into a revolutionary war, a civil war, a war for victory of labour of the yoke of capital, in the war for the liberation of all mankind from oppression, exploitation and poverty.
The strength of the bourgeoisie lies with money (in this way, and its weakness, because everything is done for the sake of money and money alone). Our strength lies with the truth. Convey our Bolshevik truth to the masses - this is our main task.
I finish off with the words of Lenin: "Communists should know that, in any case, the future, belongs to them; therefore we can (and must) combine the most intense passion in the great revolutionary struggle, with the coolest and most sober appraisal of the frenzied ravings of the bourgeoisie" (PSS, v.41 , p.87 Russ.)(Lenin:Left Wing Communism:An Infantile Disorder - several conclusions.)

UKRAINE: FASCISM ON THE OFFENCE
Challenges of the XXI century
(A recap on recent events in Ukraine)
According to media reports, during the period 23 - 28 January there were cases of supporters of “Evromaydan” seizing office buildings in some regions of Western Ukraine and forming shadow government structures.
On January 23, protesters seized the premises of the Ternopil regional council, which is the regional state administration. On January 25, Ternopil Regional Council revoked the powers that it had delegated the regional administration, and formed an executive committee.
Parallel authorities were created from among the activists of the bourgeois nationalist parties "Udar", "Svoboda" and others also in Ivano- Frankivsk, Lviv and other areas. A certain shadow "peoples upper house" (Rada) was also formed by the deputies of the regional council at the request of the opposition in the Transcarpathian region, but there, according to our comrades (at time of writing), the situation remained calm.
Attempts to storm regional state administration buildings were undertaken by nationalists also in Odessa, Nikolaev, Simferopol, but were repelled by local activists. In Lugansk, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Poltava, and others formed the headquarters of the National Resistance (opponents of the “Evromaydan”), including the participation of the Communists.
In Kiev, clashes continued between supporters of "evromaydan" and units of special forces "Berkut". In clashes, the nationalists were actively using Molotov cocktails and other weapons against law enforcement bodies and losses were suffered. According to statements from "Berkut" officers, cited on the Internet, they were not allowed to use force and lethal weapons, even in self-defence.
Yanukovych surrenders Ukraine to the fascists
On the demands of the participants in 'Evromaydan’, Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov was dismissed. Yanukovych invited nationalist leaders - Klitschko and Yatsenyuk to take the vacant post - but they refused. Yanukovych afterwards, according to media reports, was in hospital with acute respiratory disease.
Fascism carries disaster, oppression and poverty of working people.
According to reports from the regions where the nationalist opposition had seized power, the population is at a loss with the "new government", which has suspended payment of salaries, pensions and benefits. In addition, municipal utilities threaten disconnection of water, electricity and gas, as they have not received funding from the "new government", including arrears.
In the near future, (at time of writing), as promised by representatives of the nationalists, they will appeal to the EU to immediately provide money to pay for the social demands of the population.
In regions occupied by the Nazis, the Communist Party of Ukraine has been banned.
Ivano-Frankivsk and Ternopil Regional Councils (shadow councils) the activities and the use of symbols of the Party of Regions and the Communist Party of Ukraine (CPU flag - red with a picture of a sickle, hammer and star with the inscription "Communist Party of Ukraine") have been banned. Both parties are banned as they are deemed to go "contrary to the national interest and violate the rights and freedoms of the citizens of Ukraine." Representatives of the local fascist parties appealed to members of the Communist Party with a call to leave the party.
Comment from AUCPB editorial board: We believe the CPU to be a bourgeois party that served the interests of capital, but the fact about banning the Communist Party, as well as a red flag with hammer and sickle eloquently characterizes the essence of the "new government" in Ukraine.
Red Flags have been burned at the "Evromaydane"
Near Kiev, a monument to V.I. Lenin has been demolished
In Fastov (Kiev region) on the night of January 30, unknown people demolished the statue of Lenin – a 7 ton steel figure with a height of about 6 meters, standing near the city administration. The sculpture itself was damaged.
ONLY THE WORKING CLASS OF UKRAINE CAN ESTABLISH ORDER IN THE COUNTRY
Challenges of the XXI century
(On events in Ukraine from late January 2014)
Dear Comrades! We continue to publish materials devoted to the analysis of the events taking place in Ukraine.
The Bandera national- fascist opposition, supported and instigated from outside of Ukraine, have more and more escalated the situation, trying to climb to the summit of power, replacing the Yanukovych - Azarov regime - with the price of complete surrender of Ukraine to the West, at the cost of depriving Ukraine of any residues, and any semblance of independence and sovereignty.
And this whole fight is covered with false slogans of concerns about Ukraine and its long-suffering people .
On January 19, the confrontation finally began to lose peaceful character.
On the part of the opposition in the course of events, along with stones, bats, chains, sticks, Molotov cocktails were hurled. Not just law enforcement officers, but right-wing militant gangs were armed with traumatic weapons (no doubt that the Bandera gangs with own firearms were just waiting for a certain hour and appropriate command for their use). Not only buses and buildings were burning, but also internal troops, the Berkut were set on fire. Medical centres received dozens of police (according to Ministry of Internal Affairs - more than two hundred) with burns, fractures and other wounds and injuries.
Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych on January 20, addressed the Ukrainian people, in which he made a call to refrain from violence and to take the path of those "who are sacrificing human blood for the sake of taking power."
But the blame for everything that happened lies with the ruling regime, which allowed the National Fascists onto the political arena of Ukraine. And now we hear the calls of the Greek - Catholic priests to talk with the enemy in bullet language, with the use of weapons, for the destruction of communists ("Father" M.Arsenich, Cardinal Lubomyr Husar UGCC). Just like their predecessors during the second world war, they sanctified the Banderites and called on them to faithfully serve Adolf Hitler, the "liberator of nations and the creator of a new world order", and to fight struggle against communism and Moscow.
In Ukraine, the working class has still remained silent and is watching what is happening.
We Bolsheviks declare that both bourgeois clans, locked in a deadly battle for power, are equally alien to the working people of Ukraine both in Western and Eastern Ukraine. The bourgeoisie deliberately divides us on regional - linguistic and religious grounds. In fact, Ukraine is divided on the basis of class: the majority of working people have been robbed and humiliated and the minority of people are the bourgeoisie of all colours, shades and factions.
Overthrowing the power of capital and restoring the power of the working man is the task of today's historical moment facing the working class and its allies in Ukraine: the labouring peasantry and the working intelligentsia.
This is the only way out of the crisis, the only chance to prevent the final enslavement and colonization of Ukraine by the imperialist West.

MARCHES "FOR ODESSA!”
(Written in February 2014)
One could write legends about how Odessites – the people of Odessa love their city. Any sane citizen of Odessa would never ever come up with the idea or dream a terrible nightmare that our glorious hero-city could be "seized by fascist Banderites." Idiots do not even dream of this. In this regard, everyone agrees. "Fascism will not pass!"
For this purpose, quite a powerful resistance from various political parties and public organizations has been formed. A call on people has been announced for joining the "All-Ukrainian Youth Unity" movement. And this is the formation of national defence groups, when for restoring order from the demagogy of politicians will start to provide and cross over to real actions of forceful influence. The Cossacks are ready for this. Ordinary people, from which one could often hear: "I'm not interested in politics", have instantly become interested and have started across all channels of local TV to declare their opposition to supporters of "maydans." They even call them "banderlogs". My countrymen struggled against these in the "Marches for Odessa!" There were several of these events. Previous marches were organized by the social movement "Borotba." And they passed not without fights, although participants organised peaceful "marches", united together in an organized column, chanted : "We are Russian," "No to Nazis!".
The fascist thugs appear suddenly, at a time when there are still few people present. They wrest placards and banners from the hands the marchers. They need to be resisted.
On the day of the Young Anti-fascist, February 8, 2014, a march was organized by the " All-Ukrainian Youth Unity" movement. It staged a peaceful rally with slogans: "Odessa - Hero City", "No to civil war!" "No to Nazis!" "For the Customs Union!". Thousands of people marched from the in a column from10 APRIL Square singing the song "Arise, great country! Arise to the fight to the death!" by the Aleksandrov Choir, which sounded out through the speaker of a car, where a portrait of Generalissimo Joseph Stalin was fixed to. They began their march along the avenue towards Shevchenko Regional State Administration for a rally. Local councillors and leaders of anti-fascist orientation were expected to participate.
On the one hand it is good that people finally remembered what they had in the heroic actions during the defence of the country during the Great Patriotic War. On the other hand I want to ask them when they will return to the coat of arms of the city - hero both the Gold Star and the Order of Great Lenin? Odessa was one of the first cities of our Soviet Motherland that was named a Hero City.
The governments of "independent" Ukraine removed Soviet symbols, and renamed streets of the Soviet Army, Lenin, Karl Marx. They removed monuments to Potemkins and Lenin and rewritten history books. It's disgusting to hear how they are pushing out speech at rallies, calling themselves anti-fascists, "We have won ... ". Yes, you all owe with your bourgeois guts to all those WHO DIED FOR THE LIBERATION OF OUR HOMETOWN fighting the German- Romanian invaders! You who line your pockets with foreign currency ... you won? ... You have regenerated the neo-Nazi scum.
The fact that there was some fascization of structures of the Ukrainian Parliament, takes no convincing for anyone. Just about everything has been long understood: they began to defile monuments to Great Lenin, then made it up to the Walk of Fame. At the monument to the Unknown Sailor, as I can remember, students stood watch, and still watch now. The Eternal Fire still burns. Requiem the sound and lyrics by R. Rozhdestvensky "Remember!" And we do remember ...
Every Odessa family has fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters and grandparents who never returned from the front. My grandfather, a fighter in the Gregory Kotovskovo brigade never returned after he was killed in Poland. And the power of the bourgeois in Poland has now forgotten about the death camps and crematoriums, and now considering removing a monument to General of the Army Ivan Danilovich Chernyakhovskiy, twice Hero of the Soviet Union..
More than two thousand inhabitants of Odessa have demonstrated to the Ukrainian neo-Nazis their willingness to obliterate those fascist thugs armed with sticks, baseball bats, hiding their bastard faces behind masks... Only we have not met them on their way. They will not come out against so many people with their three hundred or so “hirelings." Besides megaphones and posters and banners, the people taking part in the “March for Odessa” were armed with nothing. The local militia guarded the order with no more than a hundred of them present.
On the eve before the last march on February 7 in Lenin Komsomol Park, the monument of Great Lenin was desecrated. Vile inscriptions in dark blue paint were left at night which read: "Hang the Moscovites", "Glory to the heroes of the UPA" and "Death to Moscovites".
Even the Yanakovich-Azarov government resented this. Television journalists commented : "This is our history."
We Communists of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks, speak a different language. "This is not only our history!" This is our future and that of our descendants. Socialism will triumph! Ukraine will be part of the Great Power - the USSR! Our Motherland is the Soviet Union!
It is a pity that hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens are not together with us today. They are have not yet in their minds strengthened the belief that fascism is generated by bourgeois society. Crushing fascism means defeating bourgeois power, casting it into oblivion and establishing the dictatorship of labour. It is the capitalist system that generates social inequality and ethnic strife. From the depths of animal arbitrary power of the capitalists emerge fascist elements. They recruit under their false slogans about "Vilnu Ukraїnu" people cheated and dissatisfied with the Yanakovich-Azarov government, and get them to organise pointless riots and unrest. Rushing to take a place at the feeding trough, for the redivision of the loot, and not for the sake of national interests, they throw people to the barricades, while they themselves get nice and fat and multiply their own income as well as those of the millionaires and billionaires. Bourgeois nationalists are neither patriots (they habitually appeal first to Europe, then to America ), nor advocates of the people. They simply manipulate the consciousness of the crowd in order to seize power.
The Blue replace the Orange, then the Orange will again replace the Blue and the robbed people will be put on their knees. A handful of arbiters decide their fate, under whom will lie Ukraine, and whom to give back borrowed loans. And not only our children will have to repay the loans, but also our grandchildren and great-grandchildren will have to if we do not fight against their regimes. There is only one way out: to convince those citizens who are becoming more active – and that is to head towards a socialist revolution!
It is in this direction that the Odessa Bolsheviks carried out their propaganda work on the March for Odessa. Our AUCPB newspapers “Serp I Molot" and "Raboche-Krestyanskaya Pravda" were willingly taken by people from our distributors. Even little leaflets always help. People then say, "We’ll read it, maybe even from you get to know the truth." They really will know the truth only from us, and can understand, at the end of it all, that in the words of Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin:
"Our cause is just ... the enemy will be defeated ... ".
In Odessa catacombs, the flames of guerrilla warfare are still warm.
"For our Soviet Motherland!" "For the cause of Lenin and Stalin!"
"FOR SOCIALISM!" "Our Motherland is the USSR!"

2.UK KFA STATEMENT ON THE 102ND ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIRTH OF THE GREAT LEADER
PRESIDENT KIM IL SUNG
http://juche007-anglo-peopleskoreafriendship.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/uk-kfa-on-102nd-birth-anniversary-of.html
The UK Korean Friendship Association today issued a statement
to mark the Day of the Sun, the 102nd anniversary of the birth of the
great leader President KIM IL SUNG the eternal leader of the Korean
people and world progressive people. UK KFA salutes the memory of the
great leader President KIM IL SUNG on the anniversary of his birth.
The great leader President KIM IL SUNG is
rightly regarded as the father of the Korean nation who gave
independence to the Korean people after the long dark rule of
oppressive Japanese colonialism . President KIM IL SUNG led the 20
year long armed struggle against Japanese imperialism which culminated
in the liberation of Korea on August 15th 1945. Without a doubt the
greatest and most precious thing a people can enjoy is independence.
The great leader President KIM IL SUNG was a true son of the
people . He was born into a humble poor peasant family in Mangyondae.
He always believed in the people and shared their joys and sorrows .
He dressed in simple clothes and went amongst the people. He kept an
old 'Mokran' television set made in the DPRK instead of a luxurious
foreign made one.
The great leader President KIM IL SUNG defeated
US imperialism when it tried to conquer and destroy the young people's
democracy in the DPRK in the 1950s. Although whole parts of the DPRK
were obliterated President KIM IL SUNG led the struggle to rebuild
the DPRK 10 and a 100 times better than before. Under the banner of
Juche and self-reliance he led the struggle not only to rehabilitate
and restore industry in the DPRK but to achieve victory in the drive
for socialist industrialisation . He built an independent national
economy and an advanced socialist system creating a socialist paradise
of Juche for the people.
The great leader President KIM IL SUNG
consistently fought for Korean reunification and for the withdrawal of
US troops from the south of Korea. He put forward countless
reunification proposals and authored wise strategies for bringing
about Korean reunification on the basis of independence without the
interference of outside powers.
The great leader President KIM IL SUNG was a true
internationalist, a great internationalist who supported
anti-imperialist independent struggles throughout the world. Pyongyang
was a veritable Mecca for liberation fighters from all lands . The
Juche idea authored by the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG was and is
a powerful tool and inspiration for those aspiring for independence
from imperialism. President KIM IL SUNG upheld the red banner of
socialism even when others dropped .
UK KFA remember the great leader President KIM IL SUNG for his many
achievements which are today carried forward by the dear respected
Marshal
KIM JONG UN

UK KFA PICKET US EMBASSY IN LONDON
On Thursday 27th of March the UK Korean Friendship Association
supported by the Juche Idea Study Group and the New Communist Party
picketed the US embassy in Grosvenor Square London from 1650 hours to
1800 hours. The picket was to protest against the holding of the
"Foal Eagle " and "Key Resolve " exercises of the US imperialists and
the US hostile policy against the DPRK including the "human rights"
racket .
The picket was carried out under conditions of imperialist
media attacks on the UK KFA and JISGE as well survelliance by
reactionary forces
A speaker from the UK KFA and JISGE opened the picket saying"The US
imperialists are again staging "Foal Eagle and " Key Resolve "
military exercises threatening peace .
Despite the peace overture
made to south Korea in the New Year Address of the supreme leader of
the DPRK dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN the south Korean puppets
and their US imperialist overlords have decided to push on with the
holding of Foal Eagle and Key Resolve from the end of February. These
exercises will be massive in scale . They are about invading the DPRK
and effecting "regime change " by force as they envisage taking
control of nuclear facilities in the DPRK and occupy Pyongyang in case
of "emergency in the north". This leaves the observer in little
doubt as to the true nature of the exercises ; the a practise
operation to invade the DPRK and stifle Juche-based socialism centred
upon the popular masses.
It is a lame excuse and a sophistry
to claim that the exercises are defensive as they include landing
craft which are a means to wage offensive and invasive warfare. It is
a nonsensical sophistry to assert that as they are "routine " so do
pose a threat. The analogy can be used of a fire drill in an office
building or factory , these are not held for the sake of "routine" but
as a practice for the real thing . It is the same with "Foal Eagle "
and "Key Resolve ".
Last year the extreme warmongering moves of the US imperialists and
the south Korean puppets brought the situation on the Korean peninsula
very close to actual war which could have turned into a nuclear
catastrophe which would not have been confined to the Korean peninsula
or East Asia.
We demand that Foal Eagle and Key Resolve are stopped at once
and US troops withdrawn. The US must end its hostile policy against
the DPRK and the lift the sanctions
The KCNA report "U.S. "Human Rights" Racket against DPRK's Sovereignty
Is Doomed to Failure " was also read out .
The picketers chanted " US out of Korea " , "Korea is One " , "Yankee
Go Home " "Long Live the Workers' Party of Korea " and "Long Live
Kim Jong Un "
The statement of the DPRK NDC on the US hostile policy was
also read out. The UK KFA spokesman in his closing remarks said that
the US imperialists must end their hostile policy towards the DPRK .
The NCP general secretary Brooks made a rousing speech thanking the
picketers.
Banners of the UK KFA and banners calling for an end to the UNSC
sanctions were displayed along with the flag of the DPRK.

World's Poorest Human Rights Record in S. Korea Disclosed
All fields of south Korea including politics, economy, military and culture are entirely dependent on the U.S., the white paper says, and goes on:
The U.S. regard south Koreans as no more than ducks in water, pheasants in the mountains and rats in fields. GIs consider south Korean women as no more than sexual playthings.
The U.S.-led foreign monopoly capital accounts for 30 percent of the south Korean stock market and big businesses and banks hold more than 50 percent of stocks, swaying over the south Korean economy. They rake in profits running to billions of U.S. dollars from stock dividends only every year.
The U.S. monopoly capital stalks in south Korea, making businesses of south Korea go bankrupt and its people languish in unemployment and poverty.
Onrush of excessive agricultural products from the U.S. threatens the local farmers numbering more than 2.8 million.
The U.S. built military bases in different parts of south Korea and has staged madcap military exercises. This has deprived south Koreans of their cradle of life, devastating farmland, taking their lives and doing harm to human bodies and polluting environment.
Young and middle-aged south Koreans are taken off as cannon fodder of the U.S. in its wars of aggression.
There is no land in the world except for south Korea which is suffering such humiliation as offering funds as upkeep of the foreign occupation forces.
South Koreans have no place where they may complain even though they are deprived of everything by the U.S. and their rights violated by it.
Human rights are more crudely violated due to the puppet forces' medieval, tyrannical and unpopular rule.
Political freedom and democratic rights are mercilessly infringed upon, among other things.
The progressive party that made a legitimate appearance was forced to be disbanded, after being labeled "forces following the north" and a lawmaker from an opposition party was walked away from the "NA" building in broad daylight, on the charge of his alleged involvement in an "attempted rebellion."
In the eight months of the present regime more than 23 790 articles were deleted from internet site for being "articles following the north", and hundreds of internet sites were forced to shut down.
People demanding the right to existence were harshly suppressed.
When workers in the field of railways staged a strike against the de-nationalization of railways at the end of last year, the fascist authorities hurled at least 5 000 police of over 60 companies to put it down the way they conducted an "anti-terrorist operation". They even stormed the building of the south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions without a confiscation and search warrant and walked off more than 130 people.
The puppet forces' unpopular rule deteriorated the living of south Koreans from all walks of life, forcing them to undergo unspeakable sufferings.
The number of the unemployed has reached over 4.5 million and that of underemployed who do part-time jobs for low wages for a day or a few months almost 10 million. People accounting for 11-19 percent suffer from chronic malnutrition.
The number of those who commit suicides is more than 40 a day, topping the world list.
Over 1.1 million or 20 percent of the aged roam about in the streets, begging for food or rummaging garbage bins, being forsaken by society and their children.
Children kill their parents in cold blood for money and all other kinds of crimes including murder, rape and robbery are prevalent in south Korea.
The south Korean puppet group's terrorism and abduction are another example of serious human rights abuses.
It is working with bloodshot eyes to conduct terrorism and abduction of citizens of the DPRK by mobilizing the Intelligence Service, the Foreign Ministry, Unification Ministry and all other plot-breeding organizations. This unprecedented man-hunting is being commanded by Chongwadae.
Agents of the puppet Intelligence Service and such anti-DPRK plot-breeding organizations including "Missionary Council of Duri Hana", "Good Friends" and "Association for Improving Human Rights in North" and terrorists and agents who go under the masks of religionists, businessmen and philanthropists, financed by the puppet authorities, go on the rampage in the northeastern area of China, abducting and luring citizens of the DPRK.
Those citizens of the DPRK who had been abducted by the south Korean puppet forces and taken to south Korea are interrogated at the "central joint investigation center" made up of those concerned of the puppet Intelligence Service, Unification Ministry, Defense Ministry and police for six months. They receive "anti-communist brain-washing education" for three to four months, being subject to all kinds of violence at a concentration camp called "Hana Center".
Those who had been taken to south Korea are also subject to sub-human mal-treatment and humiliation.
Unable to eke out their living, they reside in places around mountaineering courses or garbage ground, picking up leftovers of food in day time and covering their bodies with leaves or rubbish at nights.
The south Korean puppet forces did not hesitate to commit hair-raising atrocities against distressed citizens of the DPRK who went adrift to south Korea.
Those whom the puppet forces did not send back to the north after kidnapping them when their boats were wrecked in the sea numbered more than 60 in the past five years.
All facts go to prove that the puppet forces are a group of the worst human rights abusers and hideous criminals.
We express the expectation and conviction that the world justice and conscience will heighten vigilance against the anti-human rights burlesque of those forces hostile toward the DPRK, pay due attention to the worst human rights situation in south Korea and become vocal censuring the human rights abusers. -0-

Workers are not Slaves
Ever
intensifying day after day in south
Korea is the people's struggle protesting against the
anti-people policy of the south Korean regime which reduced south Korea to a living hell.
On March 29, the
solidarity of freight workers held an emergent general meeting of its unionists
in which it bitterly denounced the reactionary labor policy of the regime and
the companies.
Some 5,000
members of the solidarity of freight workers and the trade unions of railways
and metal industry workers took part in it.
Headquarters
chief Lee Bong-ju of the solidarity of freight
workers declared in the meeting that they turn out in the struggle not to live
any longer as toiling slaves.
Participants
there demanded their labor rights and vital rights such as realizing the basic
rights of labor and legalizing standard rates.
Meanwhile,
the national trade union of the railways held a meeting to vow a general strike
and all-out struggle with 4,000-odd unionists attended that day.
The employers
get hell-bent on repression only, turning down the
trade union’s demand for strike, the participants charged and urged the stop to
forceful transfer of railways trade unionists and the sincere negotiations of
the company. Some 100 unionists tonsured condemning the repression of their
trade union by the regime and the company.
The
participants marched along the streets holding slogans reading “We oppose the
privatization of the railways”, “Halt to the forceful transfer!” and
“Discontinue repression of trade union!”, etc.
Such being a
hard fact, chief executive Park Geun-hye neglected
the ever-mounting public wrath and grievance at her regime for destroying the
economy and the people's living. But she made a detestable and nauseating misdemeanor
abroad jabbering about the north’s “economic crisis” and “poverty”, and touting
a “nutrition aid to pregnant women and babies”.
The south Korean regime had better discard the ingrained concept
of confrontation against the fellow countrymen and worry about its wretched
reality in which suicide cases occur one after another and mass protest and
demo struggles take place everyday, before caring for others.
