FOR BOLSHEVISM INSIDE THE COMMUNIST AND WORKERS’ MOVEMENT NOVEMBER No 11 (80) 2009
WORKERS OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE! FOR BOLSHEVISM INSIDE THE COMMUNIST AND WORKERS’ MOVEMENT ALL-UNION COMMUNIST PARTY OF BOLSHEVIKS (AUCPB) ВКПБ No 11 (80) 2009 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LONG LIVE THE GREAT OCTOBER SOCIALIST REVOLUTION! DOWN WITH THE POWER OF CAPITAL! ALL POWER TO THE WORKING PEOPLE! TOGETHER – WE CAN BURY CAPITALISM! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WE SUPPORT THE FIGHT OF THE WORKERS OF “AVTOVAZ!” Statement Protests by workers at AvtoVAZ has proved that the attempts of capitalists to turn the working class into a dull submissive herd, which can be exploited with impunity, have failed. The proletariat of Russia - not indifferent to their fate, knows how to protect their vital interests and rights. We warmly welcome the awakening of class consciousness of Russia's workers. The struggle waged by the collective today at AvtoVAZ under the guidance of the independent trade union "Unity" – is a reflection of that entire bitter struggle of the world proletariat, which will inevitably lead to the destruction of capitalism and exploitation, to establish the just power of the working class. Among the demands made by Togliatti workers and participators at the meeting on August 6 2009., are not only economic (full employment and decent work), but also political - such as the establishment of workers' Soviets and militias in the workplace. This means the transition of the class struggle to a new level, where a simple solution to the economic side of an issue where the capitalists could "buy off" the workers will not succeed. We fully support the actions of the workers at AvtoVAZ. We will do everything in our power for the organization of workers support of their principles in the fight. We support the workers' demands at AvtoVAZ. We believe that to achieve their fulfillment - the priority is not only of the protesters, but all the working people of Russia. We therefore urge all independent trade unions, workers groups, political organizations, all working people of our country to take an active demonstration of solidarity with the staff of AvtoVAZ, fighting not only for their rights, for their lives, but also for the future of the working class and all working people . LET US HAVE A PROLETARIAN REVOLUTION! SOCIALISM OR DEATH! "Revolutionary Patriotic Union of Krasnoyarsk region": V.N. Komarov (movement "Labor Krasnoyarsk Region) L.S. Kuznetsov (All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks) E.A. Postovskii (Russian Communist Workers' Party -- Revolutionary Party of Communists) A.A. Kiselev (All-Union Young Guard of Bolsheviks) N.E.

Loginov (movement "Labor Kodinsk, Boguchanskaya hydro electric power station) September 19, 2009Krasnoyarsk STATEMENT BY THE CC AUCPB in support of the struggle of the workers and residents of AvtoVAZ, Togliatti, and calling for solidarity with the workers Russia has once again been plunged into economic chaos by its new "masters". Factories and enterprises are closing and the workers are thrown into the street, left without a livelihood. The workers of large industrial enterprises and urban residents with core enterprises are finding it especially hard. Closure of the core enterprises, respectively, leads to the closure of allied enterprises, and then other companies and organizations from all sectors of the economy, and now the city is on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe. Contrary to the exhortations of those in power, the economic crisis threatens to hit this fall with renewed force, causing a wave of popular indignation and protest. . The bitter struggle of the workers for their labor rights, for dignity of human life, sparked up at AvtoVAZ - one of the largest enterprises in the domestic automobile industry, the city main business city of Togliatti, which brought its "effectiveness" by private owners to complete collapse. In August the company was halted. Management of AvtoVAZ intends to lay off 30 thousand employees, and from September 1, has already introduced a 20-hour working week with a corresponding reduction in wages. The closure of AvtoVAZ will deliver to the brink of extinction not only the workers of AvtoVAZ, component manufacturers will also halt production and about half a million people will remain without a means of subsistence. On August 6, workers at AvtoVAZ, Togliatti city residents – numbering more than a 3000 people - held a strong protest rally, and on 1 September, militant trade union Unity adopted an appeal to all residents of the city of Togliatti with a call to "take the fate of the plant and the city in its own hands." AvtoVAZ workers and residents of the city of Togliatti are ready in October to hold another mass rally. In Moscow, decided to disperse the workers at AvtoVAZ using methods used at coastal region. Police Togliatti recognized that in extreme cases, "there is a plan in place to prevent riots from taking place there.” It is assumed that the Autazavodskaya area of the city, where 90% of workers of AvtoVAZ are living, riot police will split the crowd into small groups, forcing them into blocks of streets, localizing the unrest. Dispersal of workers will be assigned to the special police forces from Moscow, Ulyanovsk, Saratov, Mordovia and Samara. "Tactics of suppression of spontaneous riots, worked out in Vladivostok, have proven their effectiveness, - said one source within the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. – - In four “Ilyushin-86" planes, 400 men with equipment and technique can be carried, and they can land anywhere in the country and bring order in a few hours. We, the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks, completely and fully support what erupted in August this year and threatening to grow into a powerful popular protest of the workers of AvtoVAZ, its militant trade union movement "Unity" and all working people of the city of Togliatti for their social rights. We share the outrage and anger of the workers at the fact that, as stated in the resolution of the meeting, the “leadership, making empty promises, changing its mind and taking away from Togliatti by them unearned, millions and billions of rubles, and yet we remain by a broken trough . We fully agree with the workers, with their conclusion that "a private owner - is an inefficient owner, a private owner in a major urban development enterprise, is not only a socially irresponsible person, but socially dangerous, as he guided by his selfish interests whose objective is to maximize profits for himself . We support the workers' main demand - the nationalization of AvtoVAZ without the right to subsequent privatization. We welcome the steps by the workers of AvtoVAZ to build organs of workers' control over the financial and economic activities of senior management of AvtoVAZ and its requirement for the authorities to investigate the expenditure of the enterprise and to bring the leaders of AvtoVAZ to account for mismanagement and theft by requiring them to return the unreasonably high unearned income to the cashier of the plant. We support the workers' demands to protect their labor and social rights, in particular - to ensure full employment of employees of AvtoVAZ. We share their concern about the sad state of the domestic automobile industry. We share the indignation of the workers that their legitimate and just demands go unheeded by the federal authorities because "these claims are contrary to the interests of private capital, with which modern Russia's power is entirely made up of. The workers themselves point this out in their message a way out of this vicious circle - to create a Soviet of workers, professionals and employees, as well as militias for the protection of activists and the public domain "; " defending the plant and their right to life (without a job, it is not feasible), can only be done by us when not one order on the shop floor, production and factories will be carried out without agreement with the workers. Therefore, the establishment of the Soviets and the militias under them is becoming more urgent. We support the call made by the workers to the labor collective of AvtoVAZ to join the union Unity, because it is the union, unlike the main stream sell out shmakovite union, this union"in practice with the best of its forces is fighting for working people - for their human dignity, for fair wages and for their right to work ", and we also support the protest of workers against the "oppression " setting the security forces against the trade union leader of "Unity" Petr Zolotarev. We stand in solidarity with the workers, in that they are a force - in themselves!We support their call to all the workers of Russia: "Remember - your strength is in unity and in your actual management of the means of production", "our strength in the face of a severe threat - is to unite among themselves and with all the workers of Russia." The strength of the working class –is in its organization, cohesion and solidarity! We call on workers of AvtoVAZ to exercise steadfastness, endurance, courage, always be alert and prepared for any turn of events and not to flinch in the case of an aggravation of the situation, in front of riot police with clubs and boots - those watchdogs of the power of capital! The violence entrenched in our country's criminal authorities – must be met by you with resistance and unity in the ranks! Every nation under the thumb of oppressive power of capital, has the right to respond to force, by force! The labor movement in Russia is rising up, it is on its fee t and class trade unions are stronger. The Russian working again realizes that it is - a mighty force! The laws of historical development work in favour of the working class. By the inexorable march of history, capitalism will be wiped out. The working class – is the gravedigger of capitalism, the main creative force of a new, socialist society, not knowing exploitation, social and national oppression. Long live the solidarity of workers of Russia! Down with the power of capital! ! Power – to the working people! 11.09.2009 DECISION By the Bureau of the CC AUCPB for Ukraine, Moldova and Transnistria: Having discussed the report of the Secretary of the Central Committee of the AUCPB, comrade A.A.

July 11, 2009, c. Kiev ON THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE AUCPB (ALL-UNION COMMUNIST PARTY OF BOLSHEVIKS) OF UKRAINE IN THE UNFURLING OF THE WORKERS’, PROTEST MOVEMENT OF WORKING PEOPLER IN THE DEEPENING CRISIS OF THE WORLD SYSTEM OF IMPERIALISMA. Mayevsky, secretary of AUCPB. Report of the meeting of the Bureau of the Central Committee AUCPB for Ukraine, Moldova and Transnistria 11. 07. 2009THE FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC CRISIS CONTINUES Despite a global economic recovery in the second quarter, many analysts say that the global financial and economic crisis is far from over and may take several years. Economic historians Barry Eychengrin of the University of Berkeley and Kevin H. O'Rourke of Trinity College in Dublin, published in April, the findings from their studies dedicated to the Great Depression of 1929-1933 and the current global financial crisis. Their conclusions are quite pessimistic. Scientists argue that "the global situation today is undoubtedly worse than during the Great Depression, if we take into account the indicators of industrial production, export or stock indexes. Now we are only at the beginning of the crisis .... " According to Sergei Glazyev, executive secretary of the EurAsEC Customs Union Commission, Prof of the Russian Academy Of Science., - the crisis "will last another 3-5 years. "The world economy may be in a state of the current instability for the next 5 or even 10 years", - says Valery Geyets, a member of the NBU council, director of the Institute of Economics and Forecasting of NAS of Ukraine. These findings by bourgeois scholars and economists only confirm the correctness of the Marxist-Leninist analysis of the fact that the capitalist economy cannot grow except by recurrent and increasingly deepening crisis caused by the contradiction between social production and private form of appropriation of labor. Moreover, it is typical of the imperialist stage of capitalism, imperialism, particularly contemporary, found on the way to its demise. Over the last decade, the role of speculative financial capital has been extremely enhanced, which allowed unusually rapid enrichment of all sorts of international speculators, the stock exchange "wolves", etc. adventurers. This led to further strengthening the role of (financial, economic, political, military), several major imperialist powers, primarily the United States, seeking to subjugate the whole world, to enslave all nations and peoples to use their raw material resources for its further enrichment. The aggregate GDP of all countries of the world in 2008, according to the IMF, is approximately 64-65 trillion. U.S. dollars. The size of financial capital, financial bubbles, completely divorced from real production, reached nearly 25 times more. That is, more than one quadrillion (thousand trillion) dollars. About this amount was released in different types of financial securities over the past 20 years. This led in the past year to ensure that such "bubbles" in no way secured, began to burst. There has been a failure (bankruptcy) of several major financial institutions and U.S. banks, which initiated the current global financial and economic crisis of imperialism. The U.S. budget deficit in the current fiscal year is planned to reach 1.85 trillion USD (13% of GDP), which is a record in U.S. history, although it is possible that it will exceed $ 2 trillion. U.S. Government of Barack Obama switched on the money printing press. I.e. dollar emissions, trying to save the U.S. economy from collapse. Dollar began to sway. Across the world there was increasing talk about the creation of regional reserve currencies instead of the dollar. But, despite the crisis, there is a growing concentration of wealth into fewer hands. Last year, the wealth of the world's richest people rose by 5% and amounted to 109.5 trillion dollars. Such data was brought out by one of the American consulting firms Boston Consulting Group (BCG). 25% of all income and financial resources goes to 8 million dollar millionaires and billionaires in the world (0.12% of the total world population of 6.6 billion people). And more than a third of dollar millionaires are living in the USA (3,1 million people). There, in the U.S., live most of the dollar billionaires (460 people). In the second place in the world in the number of millionaires is Japan (765 thousand people.), after that – the United Kingdom (557 thousand). At one pole there is increased wealth, on the other - poverty. As usual, the brunt of the crisis is shifted from the imperialists onto the working people. There is a continued rapid growth of unemployment. At the end of June, the U.S. unemployment rate rose to 9,5%, which is a record figure for the past 26 years. Only in the month of June the number of jobs decreased by 467 thousand people., i.e, in one month the number of unemployed in the U.S. increased by almost half a million. In three of the leading imperialist powers: U.S., Britain and Germany - unemployment amounted 20 million people. In total, according to the ILO (International Labor Organization), unemployment in the world in 2009, under the influence of the global economic crisis, will rise to 7.4% and approximately 240 million people. This is the highest level since 1991, when it began to collect such data. In 2008, there were 190 million people unemployed. That is, during the current year the number of unemployed increased by at least 50 million for the leading powers in the world, and unemployment is projected from 6.1% to 9%, and the most complex situation arises in the former Soviet Union - from 9 to 12,1 %. According to the company FCO, unemployment in Russia will reach this year 8,5 - 9 million or 11,5 -12% of the active population. The most difficult situation is in the engineering industry, where the decline in production in April was 51,7%, said Director of Strategic Analysis FBK Igor Nikolaev. In enterprises producing construction materials, the decline amounted to 35-45%, and construction companies - 16,3%. According to the same general director of the company "RBS - human resources" Xenia Sukhotin, unemployment in Russia in 2009 would be higher than expected.Rising unemployment has led to increased poverty on a global scale and an increase in the number of hungry people. The World Bank has estimated that about 1.4 billion people, (almost every fourth inhabitant of the planet) are living below the poverty line. Due to the global economic crisis, the number suffering from hunger has increased by 100 million people. And, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion, a record high. According to the UN, the vast majority of them live in developing countries, with 642 million - in the Asia-Pacific region. Peace-loving rhetoric of Barack Obama and deeds In his numerous speeches and statements, U.S. President Barack Obama claims that he wants a foreign policy that looks forward, not backward. Behind this assertion lies not more than an attempt to disown his predecessors, primarily from the hawk-Bush, and an attempt to burnish his image of a peacemaker. During a speech in Cairo in early June, U.S. President tried to please all the countries of the Middle East. He spoke of the need for a Palestinian state, the unacceptability of the construction of Jewish settlements, the right of Iran to the peaceful atom, and made a pledge to completely withdraw its troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. At the same time, Barack Obama said that relations between the U.S. and Israel would remain "inviolable". And from Hamas, which the U.S. recognize as the terrorist, demanded to comply with existing agreements and recognize Israel's right to exist. Barack Obama argues that his approach to relations with Muslim countries will be radically different from the approach of the previous Bush administration, which all the forces are trying to spread Western values in the Arab world. "We are not going to force countries to accept our values, teaching them, or using military means", - said the U.S. leader in the U.S. Air National Public Radio.It's all a beautiful statement. A real case? In a special statement on 21 May, dedicated to issues of national security, the U.S. president said that "Al-Qaida plans to attack us again. We know that this threat will haunt us for a long time, and we must use all means available to us to win it ... Now let me be clear: We are at war with al-Qaida and groups with it. We need to modernize our institutions involved in combating this threat. " And as implied, that Al Qaeda is in Afghanistan and neighboring countries, then what talk could there be about the withdrawal of U.S. troops. According to ITAR-TASS, June 25, U.S. President Barack Obama signed into law the allocation of an additional 106 billion dollars (!) to continue the war in Afghanistan and Iraq for the period until October 1. Here you have it and peacefulness. In Afghanistan, the U.S. military ruthlessly destroys the civilian population. On June 19, United States Central Command announced the findings of the investigation, based on which it was forced to confirm that in early May from the airstrikes in western Afghanistan 26 civilians had been killed. In this case the military did not rule out that this figure may be higher. Afghan authorities also allege that the May 4 bombing killed 140 civilians.USA graciously permits Iran to have a peaceful nuclear program. At the same time, the head of the White House says Iran should accede to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. And in general, in this thread "we need to show toughness." "This issue affects not only U.S. interests, but also directly relates to the prevention of a arms nuclear race in the Middle East" - Obama said in his speech in Cairo. Barack Obama point blank "does not notice" that its strategic ally Israel, which has up to 200 nuclear warheads, is not going to comply to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. On the eve of his visit to Russia in an interview with Novaya Gazeta, Barack Obama said: "We seek to create a missile defense system that will protect the United States and Europe from Iranian ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads." He stressed that the United States "is not building and will not build a system to defend against attacks from Russia" (Rosbalt, 5.07.09). Here are two points. First, continuing confrontational line toward Iran. And, secondly, an elementary attempt to misinform the public, because anything other than violations of the strategic balance of strategic nuclear capabilities of the United States and Russia in favor of the United States, placing the U.S. missile defense bases in Poland and the Czech Republic, cannot be held. In connection with the missile launches and nuclear tests in North Korea, Barack Obama, considers North Korea as a threat to national security including homeland (?!), and is for another year to continue economic sanctions imposed by George Bush against the DPRK.After meeting with South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak at the White House 16.06, Barack Obama said that North Korea's nuclear ambitions pose a "serious threat" to the world and promised to "turn the tide.The Government's weekly DPRK Tongil Sinbo states: "All this is no coincidence - that the U.S. has deployed in South Korea and adjacent regions countless weapons, daily conducts war preparations against North Korea, they are only waiting for a pretext to invade." Southern neighbor, is convinced North Korea is constantly trying to provoke a new conflict on the peninsula and that is why it has recently been increasing its naval group in the Yellow Sea. There - threatening the growth of international tension and the continuation of the aggressive U.S. policy under the guise of arguments about peace of Barack Obama. Attempts by U.S. imperialism to find a way out of the crisis, which it himself instigated, is pushing mankind to the danger line with a new war. A few words about Barack Obama's visit to Moscow 6-8.07 and talks with Medvedev and V. Putin. During this visit, documents signed included: the Framework Agreement on Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms; intergovernmental agreement on the transit of weapons, military equipment, military equipment and personnel of the U.S. armed forces through Russia to Afghanistan, a framework document to promote cooperation between the armed forces of Russia, and the U.S. decided to create a Russo-American Presidential Commission on Development Cooperation which Mrs. Clinton and Lavrov will be in charge of, and memorandum between the Ministries of Health of Russia and the United States and some other documents. The main conclusion of this meeting, negotiations and signed documents can be done next. The U.S. is increasingly tying Russia to its war chariot, in particular, on Afghanistan. As calculated in the White House, the signed agreement on military transit would allow the U.S. savings on fuel only per year of $ 133 million. By signing of this agreement, Russia assumes all responsibility for deaths of Afghan civilians at the hands of the US-NATO military, in fact, becomes an accomplice of the armed occupation of Afghanistan and all perpetrated on its soil crimes. As noted in a joint press conference of presidents on the basis of Russia-US talks, U.S. President Barack Obama, the United States and Russia, there is mutual understanding on issues concerning North Korea and Iran, which, according to Barack Obama, violate and fail to comply with their international obligations . And the U.S. president thanked Russia for "participation in a UN resolution that is taking serious steps against North Korea." In the framework agreement on reducing strategic offensive weapons, is scheduled that they will be reduced by about one-third and the treaty must be signed in December. At the same time the U.S. made no concessions with regard to the third position area of missile defense, which they intend to deploy in Poland and the Czech Republic, except for a reservation that the issue of a new U.S. administration is being investigated and Russia's government will be brought to U.S. evaluation at the end of summer. Also president of the U.S. typically responded that this missile defense system is not aimed against Russia but against ballistic missiles of third countries, against the threat "posed by Iran, North Korea or any other state, not from Russia." President of the United States knows that Iran and North Korea have currently no long-range missiles capable of reaching U.S. territory. So all this talk about mythical threats, is no more than a verbal ploy. This third missile defense is aimed against Russia, from which I should proceed. So the second conclusion of the talks can be done next. It seems that the current U.S. president Barack Obama plays role of a man that throws dust in the eyes of their main strategic rivals: Russia (and China). Barack Obama with his pacifist rhetoric should weaken the vigilance of Russia's leadership, to reduce its strategic nuclear missile potential, which is the only deterrent to the aggressive ambitions of U.S. imperialism at the same time, under cover of peace talks, to continue the further encirclement of Russia by their bases, troops, and the areas of ABM, achieving over 4 years of an Obama presidency a total military superiority over Russia and reduced to zero (in terms of possible retaliatory nuclear strike from Russia), the value of its strategic forces. And the next U.S. president (January 2013) will be tasked with the full occupation of Russia under the threat of irreparable damage and total defeat. (An excuse for a military conflict is always possible to find). UKRAINE Ukraine, as has been noted, was the most unprepared for the crisis. More precisely, the global financial and economic crisis has only revealed the lack of talent and irresponsibility, anti-people and anti-national character of the bourgeois power in Ukraine. Even in the pre-crisis in 2008 the Ukrainian economy was only 74.1% of the 1990 production of steel, rolled products, pipes, building materials, cement, electric power and during the years of capitalist reforms in Ukraine has decreased by 1,5 - 2 times. The share of industry in GDP for the period declined from 60% to 1 / 3, ie, almost 2-fold, while the share of machinery in the industrial structure - from 1 / 3 to 13%, ie, almost 3 times. This shows the complete de-industrialization of the country. In fact, the vast majority of enterprises, system utilities, infrastructure - all this somehow worked at the facilities established in Soviet times. But the Soviet resource is already over. Then our whole economy, infrastructure and utility systems await total collapse. Ukraine's accession to the WTO in the past year has led to the fact that light industry, has almost gone. On the brink of destruction lies the whole agricultural sector. Meat livestock of which we have virtually none, the market is littered with poor-quality foreign products. Meat and milk production has been reduced, the cows slaughtered for meat, because they have nothing to feed them. On the verge of extinction – is the sugar industry. Sugar production in the past year compared with 1990 decreased by more than 3 times and amounted to 30,4% from 1990 levels as specialists remind us, Latvia and Slovenia after joining the WTO and the EU are totally deprived of its sugar production. Obviously, the same fate awaits Ukraine. During the reign of the bourgeois orange regime, led by President Yushchenko, the situation of workers of Ukraine has worsened. Ukraine's external debt (public and corporate) for the period from early 2005 through October 2008 increased almost 4,5 times - from $ 23,8 billion to $ 105,4 billion (including approximately 90 corporate billion dollars). About $ 40 billion of corporate debt (debt of all kinds of private enterprises, corporations and banks) are short-term loans, ie, must be repaid before the end of the year. Financial analysts note that if at least half of this debt is not to restructured, Ukraine is waiting for financial collapse. The Government of Y. Tymoshenko took loans from the IMF, saying that they go to the needs of the domestic economy. In fact, this is not true. Banks and private corporations are calculated for their own foreign debts. As a result, for 6 months, approximately $ 10 billion has been taken out of Ukraine. At the same time, due to anti-people policies of the authorities, policies directed at the full profit of the bourgeoisie and the bankers, Ukraine has suffered the greatest losses from the global financial crisis. So, according to the Interstate Statistical Committee of CIS, the largest decline in industrial production for January-April, compared with the same period last year, registered in Ukraine, and amounted to 31,9% (second in the fall - Moldova = 25,7%, in Russia -- 14,9%). The maximum annual inflation over the same period, again in the Ukraine = 19,1% (in Russia - 13,6%).The same figure for falling industrial production, equal to 31,9%, was recorded by the State Statistical Committee of Ukraine on the results of the first five months of the year. The largest decline in May this year, compared with May last, recorded in the engineering industry - 53%, construction materials production - 44,3%, metallurgy - 43,4%, wood processing - 36,8%, light industry, chemicals and petrochemicals - 33 , 1%. This, including the "success" of the Government of Yulia Timoshenko.The authorities themselves were forced to admit that Lawlessness has become the norm in the face of the Human Rights Ombudsman Nina Karpachova, who on June 24 made a speech in the Verkhovna Rada with the traditional annual report "State of observance and protection of human rights and freedoms in Ukraine". According to the Ombudsman, if you use the European criteria for poverty measurement, in Ukraine among the poor should include 70% of the total population. Today in Ukraine there are 1 million unemployed people (we are fully aware that these are people registered at employment centers, ie, the so-called official unemployed, but the real unemployment rate, based on still registered as working and sent on compulsory leave at their own expense, is many times greater than this figure). 9 people apply for each job in the Ukraine. And in Khmelnytsky, Cherkasy, Ivano-Frankivsk region. - from 40 to 50 people. Especially in poor condition were people in rural areas. As a result of the so-called land reform there is no development of villages, but only their destruction. Already nearly 11 million hectares of arable land have been removed from rotation. There is a growing migration from rural areas, 25% of settlements in rural areas are classified as degraded. The extinction of the rural population is three times faster than in 1900 (?!). But the predatory and illegal redistribution of land is increasingly accompanied by injury and even death. In the queue for an apartment now now stand 1 million 300 thousand families. However, for the construction of social housing not a penny has been allocated (despite a law adopted in 2006), and the vast majority of workers' will not seen housing until the end of his days. Workers cannot find protection for their rights in the courts. In 90 cases out of 100 the paragraph of the European Convention on Human Rights to a fair trial is violated. This figure confirms a well-known position of Marxism-Leninism that the bourgeois state and its legal system faithfully serve and protect the interests of the exploiting class. Truth and justice do not win in the courts, but only money and power. The situation is even worse in law enforcement. If in 2007 the Ombudsman filed 1428 complaints of torture and ill-treatment in police custody the and penal system. This year alone registered 1,922 complaints. It is clear that these figures are only the tip of the iceberg, displaying the anti-humane nature of the current judicial system, as well as the bourgeois system as a whole. WORKERS FIGHT FOR THEIR RIGHTS The many months of unpaid wages, soaring prices for food, basic commodities, the growth of tariffs for housing and transport services has led to the fact that people of the Ukraine have begun to realize - the ruling bourgeois regime is not needed. From them there is no help, neither by Yushchenko nor Tymoshenko nor Yanukovych, who are engaged in only one thing - to politically secure maximum profit and surplus profits for its financial-industrial groups, as in the current crisis - to save their own capitalists from ruin and collapse.Workers in Ukraine have finally begun to realize that they must fight for their lives, for the survival of their families, just for survival and rescue from death by starvation. In the struggle for their rights, many labor groups have arisen. These are the Kherson Combine (now - Engineering) plant, "Dnepropress", "Odessa" Pressmash ", Lvov Bus, Vinnitsa Tractor units, Sevastopol Marine, Kharkov Tractor (HTZ), im. Malysheva, TG Shevchenko etc. True, the struggle is still rather clumsy and timid. And the bourgeoisie, at the same time, cleverly split the ranks of militant workers. As we have been told by our leader from Kherson, at the Kherson machine works, some of the workers (about 300 people.), were again reinstated at work. And a month later one of the activists of the strike committee under a false pretext was dismissed. Aggressive flare up by the workers was shot down. Labor groups are being split, wages paid out in installments, directors of enterprises are replaced and the incoming new leader said he is not responsible for the old debts, etc., etc. On the work of the All-Ukrainian Union of Workers (VSR). On April 25 VSR (A.V.Bondarchuk) held an all-Ukrainian conference of labor collectives, which established a permanent Committee of fighting labor collectives of Ukraine. The committee's main task is to unite the labor collectives in the struggle for their rights in order to ensure common interests across the country, international support and solidarity. We can assume that this conference and the Committee formed of struggling labor collectives of Ukraine is the first step towards unification of the labor movement on an All-Ukrainian scale. Although, of course, the VSR has some difficulties. According to the VSR Soviet Order of 20 June ( "RK” 23 (462)), positive results in the work are only been seen at three regional VSR Soviets: Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov and Kherson. And, strangely enough, deploy the active work of the VSR in the workforce is being prevented by the Communist Party of Ukraine. It should be noted that the last few years, the relationship of the VSR and Communist Party has became increasingly strained. It has led it to what has already happened twice in the face of leadership CPU P. Symonenko tried to dismiss comrade A.V. Bondarchuk from the post of Chairman of the VSR. And on June 21, by order of P. Symonenko, frustrated the publication of next issue of the “RK” newspaper at editorial offices (“RK" 24 (463)). This is due, in my opinion, to the following reasons. VSR was initially created as a representative of the Communist Party of Ukraine in the working class. And created with one aim: to involve the working class, working people of Ukraine on a path of parliamentary struggle, ie, to vote for the Communist Party of Ukraine and its leadership in the center and in the localities and personally for P. Simonenko. That is, the VSR has been established in order to prevent the transition of the working class over to a revolutionary path to struggle. But life, nonetheless, prevailed. Since not all organizations of VSR and the editorial Working Class (RK) (organ of the VSR) were under the close supervision of the parliamentary bureaucracy CPU, then real life began to penetrate onto the pages of the newspaper. Gradually, revolutionary slogans and appeals began sounding out. And we, Bolsheviks, characterized the VSR and "Working Class" as the left wing of the Communist Party. But, nevertheless, before the election, Comrade. Bondarchuk, assisted by the Soviet of VSR always proposed voting for P.P. Simonenko and the CPU. However, the people of Ukraine are ever more on their own experience convinced of the futility of the parliamentary path of struggle, which is offered to them by the CPU. The rating of the CPU went down. There are fewer representatives of the CPU in the Supreme Council and local authorities. The CPU, its Central Committee headed by P. Simonenko has become, in essence, indentured servants of various factions of the major bourgeoisie, in the center and in the localities. The top echelons of the CPU sit comfortably in a highly paid parliamentary seats, the leadership in the localities (first secretaries of district, city and above) receive a salary. Why should they want a revolution? They are living well. VSR and the same "Working Class" gradually shifted to the left. In the newspaper began to appear increasingly more articles with Bolshevik revolutionary content, exposing the parliamentary system and calling for the working class, working people of Ukraine to rise to the revolutionary struggle for liberation from exploitation and oppression. When direct criticism of P. Symonenko and the leadership of the CPU for parliamentarism started, then began the persecution of workers and activists. One such example is the expulsion of the leader of the Dnipropetrovsk regional VSR Soviet comrade. A.A. Simvolokova from the ranks of the CPU, the constant persecution and harassment A.V. Bondarchuk, attempts to stifle the newspaper of VSR "Working Class", etc. Regarding the expulsion of comrade Simvolokova we can say the following: the opportunists are purging themselves of revolutionaries. As a result, the CPU is more immersed in the quagmire of opportunism and parliamentarism. And the real job of leaders freed from the hands of a barren inner struggle is really necessary for practical work in the labor movement. On state capitalism. A great response was received in the communist movement and on the leftist paper the article by P. Symonenko "State capitalism - a tool for an anti-crisis policy of Ukraine. For us, the Bolsheviks, this question has long been understood. We have considered it, studying the problems of the New Economic Policy. Why was V.I. Lenin and the Bolshevik Party forced to introduce NEP. The Civil War had ended. Russia lay in ruins. Industry, transport, agriculture had been destroyed. In the country in that period, as Lenin pointed out, there were 5 patterns: patriarchal, small-scale, capitalist (small private capital), state-capitalist and socialist (PSS, v. 43, p. 158, Russian). And he emphasized that for the restoration of industry and agriculture, the revival of trade and transport, to temporarily retreat was needed to allow private capital, state capitalism, but under the control of the Soviet state. "State capitalism - what is it? - Lenin asked, and answers: - It is the amalgamation of small production. Capital combines small-scale production, capital grows from small-scale production. It is no blind eye ... If there is a small economy, if there is freedom of exchange - there is capitalism. But is that capitalism is terrifying for us, if we in our hands are the factories, transport and foreign trade? And I think ... ... we do not need to be afraid of this capitalism. Thus capitalism is the concession .... And let small-scale industry develop to a certain extent, let them develop state capitalism – this is not terrible to Soviet power; it should look at things directly, calling them by their names, but it should control it, to determine the extent of this. We are not afraid of concessions, if we give the concessionaires a few plants, keeping most of them for ourselves, it is not scary. Of course, it would be absolutely absurd, if Soviet power a large part of what it owns, distributed it in concessions as for then there would be no concessions left, but a return to capitalism. Concessions are not terrible, as long as we keep in our hands all state enterprises and weigh precisely and how much and under what conditions we can give in the form of concessions, and in what amounts. Capitalism, which grows in this way, is under control, accounting, and state power remains in the hands of the working class and the working state. We are not afraid of that capital, which will be in the form of concessions, and one that will inevitably grow through cooperatives, through free trade; we must strive to develop and improve the situation of the peasantry, and we must exert all efforts so that it was in the interests of the working class. All that can be done to improve the peasant economy, for local turnover, while at the same time calculating the national economy so that large-scale socialist industry recovered faster than ever before - all this with the help of the concessions we will do earlier than without concessions; with the help of recovered peasant farming we will do this sooner than when absolutely needed, which has been the case in the peasant economy until now "(Lenin, PSS, 43, p.158-161). As we have seen, Lenin, speaking of capitalism, had in mind primarily the concession, where an individual enterprise is given to the concessionaires, i.e. big business, but is given under the supervision of the workers' state. A workers' state is in possession of large-scale industry, transport, land, banks, foreign trade. A specific contract is signed with a concessionaire, when it produces products coming onto the market, therefore, saturates the market with necessary goods, and some of the profit is left to him. And all this, I repeat once again, under the supervision of the workers' state. P. Symonenko offers the same state capitalism when the power is in the hands of the bourgeoisie. He proposes to the bourgeoisie, our Ukrainian bourgeoisie take large-scale strategic enterprises under its control, into the state ownership of the bourgeois state, which in this case will act as a collective bourgeois owner. Get your profits, but do not forget to pay the salaries of the working class. I.e. P. Symonenko acts as an ordinary social democrat, not a Communist, as a defender of the bourgeois system. And, speaking of state capitalism, it is necessary to note the following. In the work, "The Tax" (PSS, v. 43, p. 205-245), V.I. Lenin said: "Socialism is inconceivable without large-scale engineering based on the latest discoveries of modern science, without planned state organizations subordinating tens of millions of people to the strictest observance of a unified standard in production and distribution" (s.210). And further, Lenin said that in the world by 1918 were born "two disparate halves of socialism, namely: "Germany and Russia embodied in themselves in 1918, the most striking material realization of economic, industrial, socio-economic conditions, on the one hand, and political conditions of socialism, on the other "(s.211). "... Germany. Here we have the "last word" in modern large-scale capitalist engineering and planned organization, subordinated to Junker-bourgeois imperialism. Throw out the italic words, put in place of the military, cadets, bourgeois, imperialist state, a state too, but of a different social type, of another class content, a Soviet state, i.e. proletarian, and you will have the sum conditions, which gives socialism "(p. 210). "State-monopoly capitalism is a complete material preparation for socialism, the threshold of it, that rung of the ladder of history between which the (step) and the step called socialism, there are no intermediate rungs" (P.213). Thus, the combination of modern scale capitalist economy in the service of the proletariat, the proletarian state and under the control of the latter, that's what gives a total of socialism. Without the dictatorship of the proletariat, state capitalism will remain. There can be no talk here of socialism. It is namely such a "small part" as a proletarian state that he, P.Simonenko "misses" out in his speeches. But this connection is possible only after a socialist revolution and the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat, i.e. a proletarian state. State capitalism in our country has not gained any significant development. Based on the introduction of free trade and the replacement of the surplus tax in kind, we have received development of the private capitalist way of life. And already at the XI Party Congress, in 1922, i.e., exactly one year after the proclamation of NEP, Lenin said: "We have retreated for a year. We must now say on behalf of the party: it is enough! "(PSS, 45, p.87)," The retreat was over, the case is now in the regrouping of forces "(ibid., pp. 92). The XIV Congress of the Party (1925) announced a policy of industrialization, XV (1927) - a policy on the collectivization of agriculture. The party began a major offensive against the capitalist elements in town and countryside, as well as in trade. By the mid 30-s our country had completely done away with the remnants of the private ownership of means of production and created a framework for the socialist mode of production, the economic base of which is public property, but a political one - the dictatorship of the proletariat in the form of Soviet power. From that moment began the development of the socialist mode of production on an adequate economic base. And already at the eighteenth (1939), and then after the war, on the nineteenth (1952) Party Congress, questions began to be raised about the gradual transition to the construction of communist society. The most complete disclosure of these issues were prominent in the works J.V. Stalin's Economic Problems of Socialism in the USSR" (1952),"Marxism and Problems of Linguistics” (1950). At the same time, state capitalism, in bourgeois Germany had led to fascism, as the most reactionary form of dictatorship of the bourgeoisie at its imperialist stage. It can be concluded that the article by P. Symonenko on state capitalism finally completed the ideological and theoretical slide of the CPU into the swamp of opportunism and the transformation of the party in the petty-bourgeois sevant of various fractions of big capital. On delusions by VSR In the newspaper of VSR -"Working Class", the idea is the need to free the CPU from the P. Simonenko group. But is the case to do with this group? No, of course not. The whole issue is to do with the petty-bourgeois nature of the CPU, originally created as a non-revolutionary party of a parliamentary type. This is evidenced by policy documents, the CPU, which recognizes the mixed economy, equality of all forms of property, i.e. recognizes private property, which is the economic basis of exploitation of man by man, no question about the revolutionary overthrow of bourgeois power and the destruction, of the modern Ukrainian bourgeois state, on the ruins of which must be built (or rather, restored), the proletarian state (the dictatorship of the proletariat). So, on the contrary, the CPU supports the strengthening of the modern Ukrainian bourgeois state, as is clearly evidenced by the above-cited article by P. Symonenko on state capitalism; the CPU represented by P. Simonenko and its governing bodies increasingly flirts with religion which is the spiritual pillar of the bourgeoisie in order to ensure obedience of the workers, and working people of Ukraine and the perpetuation of their economic, social and spiritual slavery (all power from God, live decently, humbly, in good faith, be patient -- "God is patient we are told, and you will get to heaven. But the bourgeoisie also provides itself with a paradise in this life on earth, and the working people, with the help of religion promises paradise in the next world after death, when they are buried in the ground. And they are helped by the spiritual religious brainwashing of the CPU); recognition of the decisions of the 20th Congress of the CPSU, Khrushchev's anti-Stalinism and his environment which was the beginning of the degeneration of Lenin's Bolshevik Party and the foundation for the cultivation in the ranks of the CPSU of counterrevolutionary treachery of the Gorbachev administration, etc. In this light, we, the Bolsheviks, see the article by L.I. Grach, head of the organization of the Crimean Communist Party of Ukraine "On the political strategy of the Communist Party of Ukraine", published in "Working Class” 11 (450), March 2009. It should be noted that L. Grach, is a more rightist opportunist than P. Simonenko. In his article, you will not find a single word about the preparatory work for the working class and working people in the revolutionary overthrow of the bourgeoisie and the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat, not a word about the need for destruction of private property. At the same time, Grach replied disdainfully of a "Brief History of the AUCP (b): "Representatives of the older generation of today's party studied the Marxist-Leninist method of various "Brief histories" and deliberately avoided the most pressing challenges of our time." Such neglect and such slander in relation to the outstanding work of Marxism-Leninism I have never ever encountered in the pages of the Communist press.The “Brief History" is accessible and comprehensible to the broad masses of readers and described the heroic history of Lenin's Bolshevik Party - the vanguard of the proletariat, the toiling masses, and shows the stages of establishing the Party, its activities in the years of Tsarist reaction, the heroic struggle of the party during the first Russian Revolution, during the first World War II, the preparation of the party and the working class to the implementation of the victorious Great October Socialist Revolution, the party's activities during the period of foreign military intervention and civil war, the party's activities during the years of peaceful socialist construction, which was implemented the country's industrialization, collectivization of agriculture, achieved victory in socialist construction mid 30-ies, etc., etc. And "Brief History" does not avoid any sharp corners and anything obscured. On the contrary, in this work shows that the entire Bolshevik activities carried out in conditions of unprecedented harassment and persecution of the Bolsheviks by the tsarist government. That the Bolsheviks had to wage an uncompromising ideological and organizational struggle against the Mensheviks, SRs, Trotskyites, left and right deviations in our party. It only hardened the ideological and organizational strengthened Leninist-Stalinist Bolshevik Party, and to ensure, under its leadership, the victory of the working class, people of all nationalities of the multinational Soviet Union over its class enemies on all fronts, ensured that the USSR is the second power in the world in economic potential, and laid the foundation for the subsequent victory over fascism.The “Brief History" published outstanding work by J.V. Stalin, “On Dialectical and Historical Materialism", in which he skillfully presents in accessible form the basis of dialectical and historical materialism, constituting "the theoretical foundation of communism, the theoretical foundations of a Marxist party "(" Brief History”, Gospolitizdat, 1945, p. 99) ."Brief History" is an excellent methodological tool for anyone who wants to get acquainted with the heroic history of our party. It provides a concise analysis of major works by V.I. Lenin: "What is to be done?" which outlines the ideological foundations of a Marxist party, "One Step Forward, Two Steps Back", where are given the organisational framework of a Marxist party, "Two Tactics of Social Democracy in the socialist revolution" - sets out the tactical foundations of a Marxist party; " Materialism and Empiro Criticism "- gives the theoretical foundations of a Marxist party. Without knowledge of the "Brief History" one cannot become a true communist, Bolshevik revolutionary. Grach so disparagingly talks about the "Brief History" because anyone who reads it carefully, understands the opportunistic nature of Grach, who is extremely uncomfortable about critique revealing the rightist (in this case) opportunism, whose representative is still a highly respected gentleman. This passage by Grach is nothing other than an attempt to alienate modern readers, especially young people from the study of revolutionary principles and origins of our party, without which there can be no talk of a conscious revolutionary struggle. But Mr. Grach need not worry. Books do not burn. No matter how the Nazis attempted to destroy the works of Marx, Engels, Lenin, burning them publicly at the stake, however and Khrushchev tried to destroy the works of IV Stalin, including "Brief History", they have all survived and continue to work towards the impending socialist revolution. To summarize this issue, we can say that Comrade Bondarchuk, assisted by VSR will be the true leaders of the labor movement, when they fully and irrevocably break with opportunism and the CPU and go along Bolshevik lines of struggle. On the presidential elections in Ukraine. On 17 January 2010 elections will be held for president of Ukraine. Yushchenko, Tymoshenko, V. Yanukovych are completely discredited in the eyes of workers as representatives of the three factions of big business whose concerns about working people are often only in words but in deeds they faithfully serve their faction of the bourgeoisie. The current world economic and financial crisis, moreover, has highlighted all the mediocrity and irresponsibility of the Orange faction of the bourgeoisie Yushchenko-Tymoshenko, when the economic indicators of Ukraine dropped to the level of early 2005, by two quarters alone (4 th 2008 and 1 st 2009), allowing the collapse of GDP by 22.9%, which is the largest fall in the world and surpassing the record decline recorded in the Ukraine in 1994. Even if in the second half, the economy stabilizes (which is unlikely), then the value of GDP by end of the year will be no more than 68% from 1990 levels. Yushchenko, who promised in his election program of 10 steps to meet people, has not comply with any of the pre-election promises, and just the opposite, removing power from the people, and opposing power to the people of Ukraine. What the orange president did do successfully, is pump up nationalist hysteria, himself a son of a traitor and a traitor at heart, but made heros of Ukraine out of such criminals, traitors and executioners of the people of Ukraine as Mazepa, Bandera, Shukhevych and others of their ilk. Yushchenko did everything for gaining Judas U.S. dollars, with which he was elevated to the presidential throne, in order to set against each other the two brotherly peoples, Ukrainian and Russian among themselves, and many have succeeded in this way thereby extremely aggravating the Ukraine-Russia relations. It is an even matchbetween him and Yulia Timoshenko, who as head of government, under all sorts of populist promises, led the economy of Ukraine to complete collapse. And although now both of these politicians have broken relations among themselves and to publicly attempt to shift responsibility to each other in a catastrophic situation, we all understand that they are both equally guilty and equally responsible for what happened in the country. V. Yanukovych, as the representative of major oligarchic capital, primarily the industrial regions of Eastern Ukraine, with his inconsistent and unsustainable policies, as head of government and being present in the parliamentary opposition, showed that workers' interests in Ukraine to him and his political power are alien just like the representatives of the orange camp. All of the inconsistency and instability of the political line of Yanukovych is due to the following reasons: the desire to preserve the stolen capital of the oligarchs in the first period after the coming to power of the Orange faction of the bourgeoisie, then, he became head of the government, striving to restore the dominance of the white and blue of the oligarchs, and now, a time of crisis, the desire to avoid a sharp decline in the wealth of white and blue and, using the extremely negative current economic indicators, to blame Yushchenko and Tymoshenko, and, on this background to increase his rating. In order to prevent the weakening of his influence in Ukraine, the overseas puppeteers are looking to replace Yushchenko's with Yatsenyuk, investing in this project a lot of money. There is no doubt that if Yatsenyuk will somehow win, anti-Russian, anti-national pro-Western Yushchenko nationalist policies will continue. On the role of the CPU and personally P. Symonenko we mentioned above. I do not need to explain that neither him nor N. Vitrenko will become presidents of Ukraine. They are, as political representatives of the petty and middle bourgeoisie, will simply not be allowed onto this top post by the major bourgeoisie. In Ukraine, the undivided power of big capital has been established. Only its representatives in the top ranks are changing. For workers in Ukraine, it should be obvious that the forthcoming presidential elections have nothing to do with us workers. V.I. Lenin taught us, the Bolsheviks, that in times of recovery of the workers’ movement, one must not sow among the working class electoral illusions, but to direct the movement towards overthrowing the power of the bourgeoisie and the establishment of government of workers and the working masses. Of course, the labor movement in Ukraine is only making its first steps. The working class is only trying to stand on its feet and to timidly assert their basic human rights: the right to work, the timely payment of salaries and repayment of wage arrears over so many months. All these economic demands do not exceed the bounds of the bourgeois Constitution and bourgeois law. Our duty, the duty of the Bolsheviks – is to support the unfolding workers’ movement. OUR TASKS- To work in the workers’, protest movement of working people, to participate actively in the struggle of work collectives for their rights;- To carry out this work, if possible, in conjunction with organizations of VSR, as well as with local organizations, the CPU, PSPU, other parties and organizations of the left direction, which are involved in the struggle of workers and do not try to reduce it only to the requests and petitions to higher authorities and local power;- During the ongoing economic struggle, support fully the just demands of the workers and to strive to form Bolshevik class-consciousness in the ranks of the fighters, telling them that addressing issues of employment, the timely and full payment of wages, decent levels of salaries for the needs of modern man and his family, scholarships, pensions and other social payments, lower prices and tariffs, the normal housing conditions, etc. etc., can only be done by destroying the power of capital and restoring the power of human labor - Soviet power. Without the transition from economic to political struggle, the higher phase of which is the socialist revolution, this will be impossible;- To prepare the working class, the working masses for socialist revolution;- Participating in the workers' struggle for their rights, not only teach them the class character of this struggle, but also by learning from those who are fighting, gaining and accumulating the necessary experience. Prepare the working class, working masses for a socialist revolution!

Тольятти и с призывом рабочих к солидарности Россия вновь ввергнута в пучину экономического хаоса её новыми «хозяевами». Предприятия закрываются, рабочие выбрасываются на улицу, оставаясь без средств к существованию. Особенно в тяжелом положении оказываются рабочие крупных индустриальных предприятий и жители городов с градообразующими предприятиями. Закрытие градообразующих предприятий, соответственно, приводит к закрытию предприятий-смежников, а затем и других предприятий и организаций всех сфер экономики, и город оказывается на грани гуманитарной катастрофы. Вопреки увещеваниям власть имущих, экономический кризис грозит ударить осенью этого года с новой силой, вызывая волну народного негодования и протеста. Ожесточенная борьба рабочих за свои трудовые права, за достойную человеческую жизнь вспыхнула на АвтоВАЗе – одном из крупнейших предприятий отечественной автомобильной отрасли, градообразующем предприятии города Тольятти, которое доведено его «эффективными» частными собственниками до полного развала. На август предприятие было остановлено. Руководство АвтоВАЗа намерено сократить 30 тыс. сотрудников, а с 1 сентября уже введена 20-часовая рабочая неделя с соответствующим сокращением заработной платы. Закрытие АвтоВАЗа поставит на грань вымирания не только рабочих АвтоВАЗа, встанут и заводы-смежники – около полумиллиона человек останутся без средств существования. 6 августа рабочие АвтоВАЗа, жители города Тольятти – более 3000 человек – провели мощный митинг протеста, а 1 сентября боевой профсоюз «Единство» принял обращение ко всем жителям города Тольятти с призывом «брать судьбу за
