Speaking of the victory in the Second World War, we always try to throw off the pedestal European countries and America, without which this victory would not have happened. In fact, it is Russia - the one we know - has nothing to do with victory, Russian journalist Alexander Nevzorov, now adviser to the head of the 1st federal Russian channel.

The war was won by another state, with another symbolism, with another ideology, with another social system, with other borders, with another-another-with another ... You can say that the veterans are still alive. But they are alive and in Turkmenistan, and in Latvia, and in Lithuania, anywhere, says Alexander Nevzorov, adviser to the General Director of the First Channel of the Russian Federation, - his opinion is published on the website "Snob".

Alexander Nevzorov writes:.

"Can Russia be considered the successor of the Soviet Union?" It was Russia in the person of its leaders that was the main driving force behind the collapse of that state that won the Great Patriotic War. It was Russia that Yeltsin destroyed by the very same Soviet Union. She has since lost a lot of wars, but this does not sober up, and intoxicates even more strongly.

Declare themselves heirs of glory? This, at least, is absurd and presumptuous. The victory of one state, on its glory is trying to cash in on another. There was a failure in the symbol system. Tragic failure.

White-blue-red flag is the flag of Vlasov's army. You can say as much as you like that he had history before.

Yes, initially this flag was the trade flag of Russia, then it became the flag of democratic Russia. Yeltsin blindly took him from the hands of those Democrats who were then crowded at the throne. At all times it was a peripheral symbol.

White-blue-red chevrons were on the sleeves of Vlasov's officers, which destroyed Soviet villages, ironed the tanks of soldiers in the trenches. We will not belittle them, these parts fought bravely, but on the side of Hitler. They did it under the white-blue-red flag and under the St. George ribbon, the cult of which was introduced personally by Vlasov and Shkuro.

After receiving a mine-blasting wound in 1943 and falling into a coma, Vlasovets - or anyone else from other CC units recruited from Russian traitors - having recovered himself today and looking out of the window around May 9, would be in full confidence, That the army won Vlasov.

As you know, everything happens to be clean exactly until you have not blown into it, or you have not cleaned it up. The last time the white-blue-red flag brightly and most scared proved itself in history as the flag of Vlasov's army.

The cult of St. George's ribbons, reminiscent of the coloring of the elytra of the Colorado beetle, was supported in Vlasov's army, but was completely unacquainted with the Soviet Army. The combination of these two symbols - ribbons and tricolors - gives the victory symbols an amazing, unmatched Vlasov aspect.

Today the symbols of victory can and will be used to justify the situation in Crimea and Odessa. The frivolous use of the "Colorado tape" made it not a symbol of the nation's unity, but a symbol of the division of the nation.

For many, it means today's totalitarianism, today's aggressiveness, today's thoughtlessness, the current ferocity of power.

It is not at all what it should mean, in the opinion of those who introduced this cult.

Why did this happen, whence such a cacophony in very important for many people symbols? After all, to celebrate this date, the majority of the population of Russia is extremely serious. The color of victory is the color of the banner above the Reichstag, it is red. Why did the symbols change? Is it possible to be the heirs of the Vlasovites? I do not have such a hunt ".
