On the reunification of the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions with RussiaThe position of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the AUCPB (Nina Andreeva)

 15.10.2022,

On September 23-27, referendums on joining the Russian Federation were held in the Donetsk People's Republic, Luhansk People's Republic, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions.

The overwhelming majority of residents of the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions voted for joining Russia. In the DPR, 99.23% of voters approved joining the Russian Federation, in the LPR - 98.42%, in the Zaporozhye region - 93.11% and in the Kherson region - 87.5%. The turnout, taking into account the polling stations in Russia, was: in the DPR - 97.5%, 2,131,207 people took part in the voting, in the LPR - 94.14%, or 1,662,607 voters, in the Zaporozhye region 85.4%, or 541 voted 093 people, and in the Kherson region - 78.86%, or 571,001 people.

For the first four days, in order to ensure security, voting was conducted by mobile election commissions in the buildings of schools, theaters, in the adjacent territories, as well as by targeted visits to residents. On the last day of voting, it was possible to cast one's vote at the polling stations. In the territories of Russia where voting for refugees was organized, it was possible to vote at polling stations during all five days.

The turnout was calculated from the number of voters included in the lists at the end of voting. This is due to the fact that at the polling stations that were formed outside the regions, the lists were compiled from scratch: they included voters who came to vote and presented the necessary documents. In addition, in the territories liberated after February 24 as part of the DPR and LPR, the electoral lists at the time the referendums began were preliminary and replenished as people who had the right to vote in each specific polling station came and presented registration documents.

The voting was monitored by observers, in addition to the Russian Federation, from Italy, Germany, Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela, Latvia and 45 other countries from five continents, who followed the course of the referendums. All observers acknowledged the openness of the referendum and the high level of public confidence in its organization. So, for example, the international observer Mexican writer Israel Gomez Arconada stressed that international observers did not record the fact of pressure on the referendum in the LPR. An international observer from Brazil, a columnist for Krasny Zhurnal, Enrique Dominguez, said in an interview with TASS that the people working on the referendum in the Zaporozhye region were very well prepared and took their work very seriously. In addition, he paid special attention to the fact that people vote voluntarily, they are not pressured.

The presence of the Russian armed forces did not affect the voluntary and free will of the population. Russian military personnel only ensured order and security in the conditions of massive artillery strikes of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on crowded places and civilian objects.

Thus, analyzing the results of the referendums, we, the VKPB (Nina Andreeva), state that the past referendums are really a direct, voluntary and free manifestation of the will of the inhabitants of the liberated part of Novorossia to become part of Russia. The people of Novorossia have exercised their legitimate right to self-determination, enshrined in the UN Charter.

The imperialist West and their liberal and Trotskyist servitors in Russia raised a wild cry about "Russia's annexation of part of Ukraine." These statements are invalid. Recall that annexation is the seizure of the territory of a foreign state " AGAINST THE WILL OF ITS POPULATION " and thereby a violation of the "SELF-DETERMINATION OF THE NATION" ( V.I. Lenin , Poln. sobr. soch., vol. 27, p. 288 and vol. 30, page 26). The people of New Russia expressed their will to separate from Ukraine and unite with Russia in accordance with the right of peoples to self-determination.

It is the United States, striving for world domination, that grossly violates the principles of international law. Consider the Kosovo incident. Using Albanian terrorists, the US bombed Yugoslavia. Kosovo Albanians declared independence from Serbia. The West immediately recognized Kosovo. The West did not care about the fact that there was no referendum, or discrimination against the Serbian minority, or the territorial integrity of Serbia. In other words, the United States declares some nations separatists if it is unprofitable for them, other nations recognize it if it is beneficial for them.

We respond calmly to all the heart-rending cries of the West and the pro-American fifth column in Russia: there was a referendum.

Big New Russia from Kharkov to Odessa has always gravitated toward Russia. Novorossiya was historically formed as part of the Russian state, that is, on Russian territory, and not on the territory that Ukrainian nationalists consider "primordially Ukrainian."

In a number of regions of Novorossia, Russians make up more than 50% of the population. The Russian population is concentrated in the regions adjacent to Russia. In urban centers and industrial areas, the Russian population predominates. The vast majority of the entire population of the eastern and southern regions of Ukraine considers Russian to be their mother tongue.

At the moment, not the entire territory of Novorossiya has been liberated from the neo-Banderists. LPR and Kherson region are almost completely liberated. Approximately half of the DPR and three-quarters of the Zaporozhye region have been liberated (the regional center, the city of Zaporozhye, is under the control of the Kyiv regime; in the liberated territory, the center is the city of Melitopol). According to the leaders of the DPR and the Zaporozhye region, referendums in the unliberated territories of the Donetsk and Zaporozhye regions will take place after their liberation. Other regions that are also part of Novorossia: Kharkiv, Dnepropetrovsk (formerly Yekaterinoslav), Nikolaev and Odessa are (let's hope not for long) under the control of Bandera.

On September 30, in the Georgievsky Hall of the Kremlin, a ceremony was held to sign agreements on the admission to Russia of the Donetsk People's Republic, the Lugansk People's Republic, the Zaporozhye Region and the Kherson Region and the formation of new subjects of the Russian Federation.

On October 5, after passing the necessary legislative procedures in the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the State Duma and the Federation Council of the Russian Federation, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed four federal constitutional laws on the admission of these territories to Russia.

Thus, the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions are included in the Russian Federation as subjects. 

The DPR and LPR will retain the status of republics and their former names, the state language will be Russian. Zaporozhye and Kherson regions will become part of the Russian Federation as separate regions. The limits of the republics and regions are determined "on the day of their formation and acceptance into the Russian Federation." The borders connected with the territory of a foreign state (in this case, Ukraine) will be the state border of Russia. At the same time, the DPR and LPR are part of the Russian Federation within the 2014 borders established in their constitutions. 

Citizens of the Russian Federation residing in the territories of the DPR, LPR, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions will be recognized as documents on education issued to them earlier in the DPR, LPR, in Ukraine, work experience, the right to receive pensions, social and medical assistance (the Ukrainian fascist regime deprived residents of Donbass all allowances and pensions ). The currency will be the ruble. The armed forces of the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics will be included in the Russian armed forces.

Until the election of the heads of the new regions, they will be led by temporary acting heads appointed by the current heads of the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions. Elections of regional parliaments will be held on a single voting day in September 2023. 

We, the VKPB (of Nina Andreeva), welcome the reunification of the liberated part of Novorossiya with Russia. We fully support the will of the population of the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions and the decision of the Russian leadership to admit them to Russia.  

Supporting the entry of Novorossia into Russia, the VKPB (Nina Andreeva) proceeds from the Leninist position on the right of peoples to self-determination. It equally presupposes both the freedom of separation and the freedom of rapprochement and association . IN AND. Lenin and I.V. Stalin emphasized that the national question, which provides for the right of the nation to self-determination, is decided in each specific case from the point of view of the struggle of the working people for democratic rights and for socialism.

From the very beginning of the establishment of the fascist dictatorship in Ukraine, the VKPB (Nina Andreeva) supported the struggle of the Russian and Russian-speaking population for their democratic rights, including the right to study in their native language.

The VKPB (Nina Andreeva) supported the referendums in Crimea and Sevastopol and their reunification with Russia and the referendums on the declaration of independence of the DNR and LNR. 

The VKPB (Nina Andreeva) supported the idea of ​​​​the head of the DPR, Alexander Zakharchenko, to create a new independent state of Little Russia as part of the DPR and LPR with a course towards joining the Union State of Russia and Belarus and considered this idea in the context of the struggle of all anti-fascist forces to overthrow the Bandera junta.

" Novorossiya should become an example for the entire population of Ukraine of a successful struggle for their inalienable rights - both national and economic, and for the right to self-determination, enshrined in the UN Charter " ( N.A. Andreeva . The future belongs to socialism, Leningrad, 2018, p. 574). 

The incessant ferocious onslaught of the neo-Bandera Nazis, powerfully backed by NATO weapons, on the Russian-speaking population of Novorossiya confronted them with a choice: to be under the protection of Russia or to be exterminated and expelled from their land . It was solely for the purpose of self-defense that the people of Novorossia decided to join the Russian Federation.

It should also be noted that the fierce confrontation in Ukraine over the course of eight years has shown that the working class and the anti-fascist forces of Donbass are not yet READY to stand alone against the neo-Bandera regime on their own. Unfortunately, the murder of the leaders of the people's militia significantly undermined the strength of the anti-fascists.

We cannot discount the fact that Ukraine is under direct external control of the United States and is essentially deprived of its independence. The West is already openly discussing options for dividing Ukraine. Hungary, Romania and especially Poland claim their rights to the Transcarpathian region, the Slavic territories of Bukovina, Bessarabia, Western Ukraine (while Poland also claims Western Belarus, along the border of which the Polish armed forces are already saber-rattling with might and main). These NATO members are just waiting for the front command from Washington. Ukraine has essentially ceased to be an independent state and is falling apart.

The state border of the Russian Federation is now the western border of the annexed Novorossiya. This undoubtedly creates confidence in the security of the population of Novorossiya and cools the ardor of Zelensky, drunk on NATO arms supplies. 

Today, the working people of Novorossiya need to achieve peace and tranquility on the land of Donbass, it is necessary to decisively curb the neo-Banderites, who are distraught from impunity, massively shelling Donbass, killing civilians, which is possible only after the military defeat of Ukrainian Nazi gangs throughout Ukraine . (If the overthrow of the Kyiv junta is not achieved, then the conflict will take on a smoldering character, it will only be mothballed for a while and then flare up with renewed vigor. Therefore, there can be no peace with the Nazis and it is necessary to fully implement all the goals of the special operation for demilitarization and denazification declared by the leadership of the Russian Federation Ukraine).  

It is necessary to restore industrial enterprises, roads, schools, hospitals, theaters, and the entire civilian infrastructure destroyed in the conditions of hostilities. It is necessary to resume teaching children in schools in Russian, seeking objective and truthful coverage of the period of our Soviet history. It is necessary to eradicate the entire Nazi Bandera ideology, especially among the younger generation...

It is necessary to demand from the leadership of the Russian Federation the provision of effective multilateral assistance in restoring the economy and civil infrastructure, the provision of humanitarian, medical and other assistance, and the improvement of the living conditions of the population.

The first urgent task of the people of Novorossiya is to firmly gain a foothold in their positions, immediately liberate that part of the DPR and the Zaporozhye region, which is still under the control of Kyiv, and organize reliable protection of the new state borders.

These are the next TACTICAL OBJECTIVES.

On the other hand, setting the STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE of guaranteeing the interests of the working people, we warn the working class of Donbass and the workers of all Novorossia: bourgeois Russia has not been brought liberation from oppression and exploitation to the working people of Novorossia.

The appetites of the Russian bourgeoisie are no less than the appetites of the Ukrainian oligarchs. The Russian bourgeoisie destroyed the Soviet Union, destroyed the national economy of Russia, its science, education, medicine and led the country to poverty and abyss. The Russian bourgeoisie brings with it anti-Sovietism and anti-communism. The Russian bourgeoisie will covet the enterprises of Donbass in order to make a profit, exploit the working people of Novorossia, siphon natural resources from Novorossia and make huge profits on this ...

The most important question is in whose hands, in the hands of WHAT CLASS, will the property, first of all, the instruments and means of production, plants and factories, be in the private property of the capitalists or in the hands of the working class. The working class of Donbass will need to achieve the transfer of the means of production to the ownership of the working people.

A very important issue, as taught by V.I. Lenin, is the QUESTION OF POWER, TO WHOM IT BELONS - TO THE BOURGEOSIS OR TO THE PROLETARIAT.   

We call on the working class of Donbass, together with the working class of Russia, to ultimately fight for the destruction of all oppression and exploitation, both on the part of the Ukrainian bourgeoisie and on the part of the Russian bourgeoisie, for the destruction of capitalist oppression through the restoration of SOCIALISM.

In conclusion, we, the VKPB (of Nina Andreeva), appeal to the working people living on the territory of the USSR with an appeal:

- provide all-round ideological and organizational support to the communist and anti-fascist forces of Novorossia;

­ - to fight together with them for the friendship of the peoples of the USSR, for the restoration of our common Motherland - the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics;

- explain to the people in their propaganda that only socialism is able to free the world from armed conflicts and ensure the peaceful coexistence of peoples;

- explain to the people the historical inevitability of the proletarian revolution and prepare for it .

IN HOT PURSUIT. MOSCOW OCTOBER 1993

                                              

 02.10.2022, 

From the beginning of 1993, it became clear to many that the restoration of capitalism in our country was reaching a hopeless dead end...

The contradictions between the mafia-based, comprador bourgeoisie, relying on foreign capital, and the growing Russian national capital have escalated to the limit. On the surface of political life, sharp fights between these main clans resulted in scandalous fights between Yeltsin and Rutskoi, Khasbulatov and Gaidar and Chernomyrdin. Soon the conflict between them turned into a confrontation between the legislative-representative (Soviets) and executive authorities (the government, the president and his deputies). The struggle between them took on the ugly form of a "war of compromise", i.e. mutual exposure of the Russian rulers-restorers. There is not a single politician left in the upper echelons of power who has not been accused of corruption, bribery, abuse of power.

In 1993, the Soviets completely exhausted themselves as the legislative body for the restoration of capitalism. As such, they were doomed to liquidation. It was only unknown whether they would self-liquidate at the next Congress of People's Deputies, as was the case with the Supreme Soviet and the Congress of People's Deputies of the USSR, or whether the president would have to dissolve them through his anti-constitutional acts ...

The culmination was the Congress of the Peoples of the USSR, held in Moscow on September 20, 1993, in which delegates from all republics took part. The Congress did not follow the lead of the national bourgeoisie, which, hiding behind it, tried to saddle the unification process. We (VKPB, approx .) warned the Congress about the illusory nature of hopes that the reconstruction of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics can be carried out by the forces of the present Soviets, which have nothing in common with socialist democracy. It is also impossible to revive the USSR under the leadership of partyocrats-werewolfs and nomenklatura capitulators from the former CPSU, who, led by Gorbachev, ensured the victory of the bourgeois counter-revolution. The congress was held under the slogans of the Marxist-Leninists.

(N.A. Andreeva spoke at the Congress of the Peoples of the USSR, at which she voiced the most important thesis that “the Soviet Union was being destroyed from above, and it will have to be restored from below ”, i.e. in a revolutionary way, approx .)

The next day, the president issued a decree banning the activities of the left-wing Supreme Soviet and the Congress of People's Deputies of Russia, which had gathered in the White House. The AUCPB characterized this illegal action as a dangerous political provocation that opened the next stage of the crisis of bourgeois statehood. Yeltsin, not having achieved the self-dissolution of the Soviets, went to disperse them by force ...

Unfortunately, quite a few communists and patriots did not initially understand that both the presidential and parliamentary factions of the bourgeoisie were only fighting for different ways and means of restoring capitalism. The petty-bourgeois democrats in the Supreme Soviet expressed the interests of the most cautious branch of the national bourgeoisie, which, faced with the lawlessness of plundering the country, sought to make privatization "plastic" and put it on a "civilized" course. They saw, apparently, that the "construction of capitalism" in Russia was collapsing, and one could expect historical retribution for what they had done together with Gorbachev and Yeltsin. Their slogan "no revolutions" was taken up by Zyuganov and other pro-Gorbachev partycrats...

The paramilitary fascist organization became the main support of the political and military leadership of the besieged White House. If the communists arriving at the White House were denied the issuance of weapons, then the Barkashovites with a swastika on their sleeves were armed to the teeth and performed the duties of personal protection of the White House leadership.

With a clearly provocative purpose, a parade of fascists was arranged, who marched in front of telephoto lenses under a hated red banner. Apparently, this was done so that later all the defenders of the Supreme Soviet could be enlisted as communist fascists. As for the First Motorized Rifle Regiment of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation, formed from communists, Cossacks and patriots, being completely unarmed, it played the role of auxiliary labor, was deprived of centralized food, places of rest and other means of life support. As a result of such political discrimination, a massive exodus of supporters of socialism from the ranks of the defenders of the Supreme Soviet of Russia began. It became clear to many that a trap was being prepared for the communists on both sides.

The workers also did not support the White House, seeing in the speeches of Khasbulatov and Rutskoy another attempt at an apex coup with unclear consequences for the people. The majority of working people remained deaf to the calls of the Supreme Soviet to support it with strikes and strikes. The Union of Officers showed its mobilization and organizational failure, deceitfully deprived of its leader, who was subjected to brutal beatings. There was a split in the leadership of the National Salvation Front. The country's communist movement, deeply affected by the opportunism inherited from Gorbachev's CPSU, also failed to fulfill its vanguard role. (VKPB activists took an active part in the defense of the Supreme Council. But the VKPB was created recently in November 1991 and did not yet have sufficient forces, note.). There were many provocateurs and adventurers in the White House, lovers of revolution and war.

While confusion and uncertainty were growing among the leadership of the Supreme Soviet, the reactionaries gathered and strengthened their forces. Elite military units were drawn to the White House, which were paid for the service of the president in dollars. Shortly before this, Yeltsin visited their quarters and financed them with billions of rubles. Special purpose units of the ministries of internal affairs and state security were put into action. In the St. Danilov Monastery, a negotiating rigmarole was started. As Cossack intelligence reported, female snipers from the Baltic states were contracted to protect the president, whose hands were up to the elbow in the blood of the defenders of Transnistria. Along with these mercenaries, the Zionist combat squads of the Baitarites were brought up, some of them were outfitted in riot police uniforms.

In order to blame everything on the communists, provocations were organized near the television studio in Ostankino, where the unarmed protesting crowd went to ask for airtime for the opposition to speak.

On the morning of October 3, the assault on the White House began. The newest tanks and self-propelled installations from large-caliber barrels shot the building of the Supreme Council for six hours, which soon caught fire, having received severe damage. The defenders could not respond to the hail of shells. The vast majority of people in the White House had no weapons, but no one threw the white flag of surrender ...

Rutskoi and his general immediately lost leadership of the defending defenders of the White House. In the burning rooms and corridors of the parliament, the Russian bourgeois democracy ingloriously ended its journey. Tank guns at close range shot the illusions of the philistines and townsfolk, who still considered "civilized" capitalism possible in Russia. This was the first time in world history that a parliament was shot down with artillery fire. There were many examples when kings, kings, presidents with their households and guards were killed, their palaces were destroyed, but such a crackdown on the parliament elected by the people - this has never happened anywhere else. The gunfire on the Supreme Soviet announced to the whole world that fascism is approaching in Russia, acting in the guise of Yeltsin's demo-fascism. Here Russia was on the same board of shame with Chile,

Despite the unpredictability in the politics of the current rulers of Russia, the act of political banditry committed in Moscow at the state level was still a natural phenomenon arising from the development of the restoration process. The first stage of capitalization has been completed. Yeltsin has now removed all the barriers to the privatization of political power by big capital, liquidating the Soviet system both in the center and in the regions. If the Gorbachev clique in the course of counter-revolutionary perestroika liquidated the Soviets as ORGANIZATIONS OF SOCIALIST PUBLIC POWER, then Yeltsin did away with the Soviets as ORGANIZATIONS OF BOURGEOIS-LIBERAL REFORMISM...

The armed defeat of the Supreme Soviet showed that bourgeois reformism leads not to the improvement of socialism, not to the elimination of its real and imaginary shortcomings, not to social justice for working people, but to the destruction of society and all its foundations. It is not political pluralism and freedom, not democracy and humanism, not well-being and prosperity that the restoration of capitalism brings to the people, but, on the contrary, the deprivation of the working people of all social gains, legal chaos up to the deprivation of the right to life, the transformation of Soviet people into victims of tyranny and reaction. The fatality that the counter-revolution brings has become obvious to many ...

The experience of a tough confrontation with Yeltsinism showed the Soviet communists and patriots the limited possibilities of boundless, self-sufficient rallies, the inadmissibility of indecision and hesitation in the leadership of the struggle against the anti-people regime, the futility and harmfulness of petty-bourgeois games to seize power and other so-called "simple solutions" to complex political issues of defeating the counter-revolution.
