Russia once again got stuck: the reason was the words of a Russian schoolboy in the Bundestag about what many already knew. Knew, but did not speak - because it was officially banned. The gymnast from Novy Urengoy Nikolai Desyatnichenko told the story of the German corporal Georg Johann Rau, who happened to be in the Stalingrad Kettle and died in a Soviet prisoner-of-war camp. The history of the dead soldiers the schoolboy became interested in the course of work on the project, which is dedicated to the fallen soldiers of the Second World War.

"In cooperation with the German People's Union for the Care of War Graves, I learned and thoroughly studied the biography of George Johann Rau. He was born on January 17, 1922 under Sigmaringen in a large family. Georg went to the front as a corporal and fought as an air defense soldier in the Battle of Stalingrad in 1942-1943. Georg was one of 250,000 German soldiers who were surrounded by the Soviet army in the so-called "Stalingrad Kettle". After the cessation of fighting, he ended up in the prison camp. Only six thousand of these prisoners returned home. George was not among them. For a long time, the relatives of the deceased soldier considered him missing. And only last year the Georg family received information from the "German People's Union for the care of military graves" that the soldier died from the heavy conditions of captivity on March 17, 1943 in the prison camp in Beketovka. Perhaps he was buried among 2,600 soldiers near the camp ".

Here, in fact, the whole reason - the schoolboy told what he learned, that is, the truth. True, Russian bosses did not like it: who just did not have time to speak on this matter - from small officials to senators and deputies of the State Duma, the FSB began checking about the presence of the pupils' relatives in Ukraine - the boy's last name on-is ending. And only because Nicholas told about what is known for so long - each of those who lived in the occupation for 1-2 years can remember much of what the Soviet propagandists would not like, and can not like now. For example, my mother was in occupation in the Voronezh region and could not remember anything bad about the Germans - the German army was at war with the Soviet army, they were treated like people - they were politely talked, played on the harmonica, and gave chocolate.

The schoolboy unintentionally revealed one serious ideological problem: one can not say that which contradicts the official point of view. For more than 70 years in Russia it has been considered to be a terrible and occupying German army, and the Soviet army, with its robbery and violence - "liberating".

The Bolsheviks began forming an official point of view almost immediately, when Lenin on the second day after the coup signed the Decree on Press, which established censorship. Since that time, the Bolsheviks have received the official right to lie about the "bright future", about the "victory of communism in the whole world," about their "peacekeeping" Red Army, which constantly attacked its neighbors. Whoever disagreed with the new mythology, was either killed or put in camps. In the 1920s, up to 7 million street children in Soviet Russia remained without children who had been exterminated by Soviet power. And then the Bolsheviks realized that these were future generations of residents of the new Soviet empire who would hate them, they would despise the founders of the Soviet country, they would avenge themselves and always remember who had left them orphaned and condemned to exist without parents and family history.

The Bolsheviks placed the upbringing of the younger generation on strong ideological rails, entrusting non-educational institutions or guardians with street children, and the Cheka. The Chekists collected them in camps and schools, in order to mold new people out of them. Years later, the Soviet communists used the experience of Dzerzhinsky already on the children of the Spanish Communists in the 1930s during the Civil War, and later in the Gulag, where the ideological educators, not the teachers.

Since October 29, 1918, a paramilitary ideological formation, called the Russian Communist Youth League (RKSM), has since been transformed into the Russian Lenin Communist Youth League (RLKSM). And after the Red Army captured the outskirts of the former Russian Empire and the formation of the USSR, the RLKSM was renamed the All-Union Lenin Communist Youth League (VLKSM). The Komsomol was named the school of Communists and became the most mass organization in the USSR: before the collapse of the USSR the Komsomol consisted of over 36 million people aged 14-28. All of them gave an oath to serve the Communist Party faithfully, and the slogans were quite suitable to compare them with the slogans of colleagues who appeared only eight years later in Germany and were named after the Komsomol not "Leninist" but "Hitler" - "Hitler Youth".

Soviet Komsomol members chanted: "If you have a Komsomol name - strengthen your name!", "The Party and the Komsomol have one goal - communism!". And if you think that the Komsomol was an innocuous organization, then here are the slogans that are suitable for the upbringing of aggression: "Every Komsomol member must master the military equipment of the USSR defense" or "Komsomol - the school of militant Bolshevism". Soviet communists associated high hopes with the Komsomol and therefore spared no money for various programs and awards, for absolutely meaningless Komsomol construction, which distracted the youth from bad thoughts and harmful influence. As, incidentally, in the "Hitler Youth" in 1926-1945, the main slogan was "Blood and Honor" (Blut und Ehre), which were also aimed at supporting the ideology of German National Socialism. With the hope of creating the Third Reich, only stronger and stronger than the Soviet Union.

However, the Komsomol was only part of the ideological work of the Soviet government, the growing generation of Communists should be succeeded by a new generation who is still running around wearing red ties or with badges with a portrait of the young grandfather Lenin. All-Union Pioneer Organization named after V. Lenin was formed by the decision of the All-Russian Conference of the Komsomol May 19, 1922. At first it bore the name of Spartacus, and two years after the death of the leader it was called Lenin. A rare boy or girl avoided a duty to wear a pioneer tie, which was called by the eyes of a "Bolshevik strike". But the paramilitary formation of children was again subject to the oath and strict hierarchy, which Hitlerjugend later took as the basis. In the editorial office of 1986, the pioneer oath was not much different from the military statute - "Pioneer - a young builder of communism - working and studying for the good of the Motherland, is preparing to become her protector".

The model of the pioneer was Pavlik Morozov, who, according to the official version, informed the authorities of his father, who threw his mother Pavlik, who helped the "kulaks", and spoke against him in court, after which he watched the fists that covered the bread and reported to them. In addition to the 23 million pioneers before the collapse of the USSR, there were about the same number of October, these unintelligent, who still play dolls and designers, but they were already obliged to love the "grandfather of Lenin" and dream of becoming a pioneer, then a Komsomol member, slender ranks of mythmakers, who for 74 years talked about a "bright future" and a paradise called communism.

Practically in every period of the history of the Soviet government there were enough reasons for the population to despair of repression or constant wars, but it was obliged to continue to love the Communist Party and honor the corpse of Lenin in Red Square. For the infamy, children were expelled from Pioneer and Komsomol organizations, and this was a "black spot" for life: they could not get an education or work, and being an ideological pariah in the USSR was equivalent to deconstruction among thieves in law, which puts these two ideologies on one level. You want to live relatively well and receive your modest salary - love the Communist Party, violated the concept of thieves - out of the structure. They are like two parallel lives created at the same time: "thieves in law" appeared in the USSR in the 1930s in order that the NKVD could control adults while children are engaged in ideologies.

All dictators sooner or later begin to engage in youth - in this they see the guarantee of the inviolability of their government: in the education of new ideologically sustained fellow citizens, loyal and able, if necessary, to defend their leader. In other countries, youth organizations are created for development, they can be professional or sports, religious or culturological, but only in dictatorial regimes is the attitude towards the youth purely consumer. Russia lived only nine years without ideology, but Putin, brought to the Kremlin, decided to restore the past, and on July 24, 2000, Russia's government decree No. 551 "On military-patriotic youth and children's associations".

Russia once again began to slip into an ideological abyss, a large number of youth organizations - "Going Together", "We", "Nashi", "Bears", "Our Children", "DMD - Voluntary Youth Squad", "Young Guard of United Russia ( MGER) "," Russia is young (Rumol) ", two years ago the All-Russian military-patriotic public movement" Unarmia ". Now all conditions have been created for unanimity according to the Soviet type, disobedient or stumbled are offered to punish, as the boy Nikolay Desyatnichenko from Novy Urengoy. Putin does not see a different path for himself-the fosterling of the Soviet system-he knows only one way to stay in power-creating a rigid paramilitary ideology that, in his opinion, will keep Russians around the Kremlin and the corpse of Lenin still lying on Red Square.
