Chechen
Revolution and Russian Imperialism
УProud sons of CaucasusЕФ Ц the great
Russian poet A. S. Pushkin called Caucasus
mountain-dwellers thus. Pushkin admired their courage and bravery, their love
for freedom and rebelliousness.
The history of colonization of Chechnya by Russia has been traced to the end
of 18th century. Russian tsarism used that acres as landlord
grounds, driving away indigenous population to the mountains, and that people
who remain were changed into bondmen, i.e. into slaves. Besides, tsarism used Chechnya as the outpost, as the base military
point at the Caucasus.
Chechen people were not reconciled to
enslavement. All their history within Russia is the history of the
struggle for independence. УWhy are you come to us with the troops?Ф - mountain-dwellers
asked tsarist general. He began to explain them, that Turkish sultan ceded this
land to tsar. Then one of mountain-dwellers pointed at the bird, which took
wing from the tree, and said: УI cede this bird to you. Take it if you canЕФ
Tsarist government decided to conquer
Chechens by force of weapon. Tsar Nicholas I demanded Уrepression of mountain peoples
forever and extermination of intractable onesФ from his commanders. TsarТs
generals, carrying out his will, invaded with troops into mountain gorges,
disforested, trampled down fields, burned down villages, stole the cattle out. Mountain-dwellers,
in their turn, attacked Russian fortifications and Cossack villages
(stanitsas). The war at Caucasus continued for
60 years.
The love for motherland, for freedom
inspired Chechens to heroic feats. They barred the way of tsarist troops in
gorges with felled trees. Mountain-dwellers, firing back from behind
obstructions, tied together by belts, so as even the last survivor couldnТt
leave the line of defense. If the enemy burst in the village, mountain-dwellers
defended every house. Old people fought nip and tuck with young people, women
fought along with men. When gunpowder came to the end, daggers and stones were
used.
Heroic struggle of Chechens aroused ardent
sympathy of all advanced people of that time. УPeoples, learn from them, what are
people capable of, when they wish to remain freeФ Ц УCommunist JournalФ, which
was led by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, wrote.
The ChechensТ struggle was waged under
the banner of religious war of Chechens, as Muslims, against Russians, as
infidels. But it doesnТt mean that Chechens were religious fanatics, as Russian
nationalists lie. No, the struggle was waged not for religious dogmas, but for
the freedom from Russian occupation.
By 20th century the oppression
of Chechen people by tsarist Russia
was strengthen. Cossacks continued to press Chechens into the mountains. Often
some Chechen old residents remembered that in former times there were their
acres here, but now there were CossacksТ domains. Nobody was brought to account
for the murder of Chechen, but if Chechen was detecting to have a gun, then his
entire village was crushed.а аааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааа
In 1917 October revolution occurred. This
revolution has overthrown tsarism and aroused hope for liberation to oppressed
peoples of Russian Empire.
Chechen people arose too. Chechen acres
were possessed by Cossacks, which were Уlandlord peopleФ in North
Caucasus, as Orjonikidze expressed. Counter-revolutionary CossacksТ
gangs were crushed by Chechens. According to Orjonikidze, the slogan УBeat
Russians!Ф was very popular among Chechen people, because Russians were
oppressors towards this little nation. This suggested that it is necessary to
give freedom to Chechen people, in order that Chechen people cease to view
Russians as enemies, in order to consolidate international solidarity of
Chechen people with Russian ones.
But, unfortunately, Stalin trampled on nationТs
right of separation, which was declared by Lenin. Stalin, in spite of unceasing
struggle of Chechen people for independence, didnТt give the freedom to this
nation. What Lenin feared for is occurred: nationТs right of separation, which
was proclaimed on paper, turned out to be the empty promise in fact. Chechnya was turned into a raw
materials-producing agrarian appendage of Russia. Soviet imperialism plundered
the oil from it, and it gave nothing in return.
During World War II Chechnya, as the whole Caucasus,
was the object of share between German and Soviet imperialisms. Chechen people
refused to shed their blood for the profits of StalinТs regime: 90% of Chechens
didnТt come to recruiting centers. Then Stalin evicted forcibly all Chechens Ц
about 400,000 Ц into unlivable regions of Kazakhstan, as European colonizers
have driven American Indians into reservations. More than 30% of Chechens have
perished as a result of that resettlement. Autonomy of Chechen people, i.e. the
right to have their native language as the state language and to have the
schools with their native language, was abolished and reestablished only at
1950s.
These facts suggest that World War II from the direction of Russia was not Great Patriotic War,
as the majority of
Russian historians lie. This war from the direction of Germany as well as from the direction of Russia was
carry out not for freedom of the own people, but for unfreedom, for the plunder
of other peoples. StalinТs and HitlerТs regimes drove their peoples to the
slaughter by deception and gained vast profits from this. Because of the
victory in the World War II Soviet Union occupied East
Europe by troops, what allowed it to plunder foreign peoples on a
large scale. Thanks to these plunders the State Bank of USSR gained vast profits, and the
piece of these profits was given to Russian workers in order to bribe workers,
to create an impression, that it is socialism in our country, in order to
divert workers from the struggle against communo-fascist regime Ц communist
nominally, but fascist in fact.
Meantime, Chechnya
continued to remain oil appendage of Russia. The other industries in
this republic, except for petroleum production, were put a brake on. While in
Bashkiria, for example, the part of urban population in the whole population аwas increased by a factor of 1.5 from 1975 to 1990, in Chechnya it wasnТt increased at
all. The scale of petroleum production in Chechnya was kept secret thoroughly.
It was naturally, because Soviet ruling regime was supported by the plunder of
oil and selling it to the West.
But at the late 1980Тs oil prices at the
world market came down. Soviet imperialism was shocked by very strong crisis,
which threatened ruling Kremlin elite with revolution. In order to save its
skin from revolution ruling communo-fascist regime quickly changed the mask Ц
from УcommunistФ to УdemocraticФ, trying to fool people by this, thinking, that
people donТt recognize old scoundrels in new mask. It was proclaimed the
independence of oppressed peoples nominally, which in
fact turned into even
greater dependence: Central Bank of Russia
pocketed (misappropriated) the shares of republics which were in the State Bank
of USSR;
Russian military bases remained in all republics. Russian bankers have provoked
conflicts between nations in colonies - between Moldavians and Pridnestrovye,
between Georgians and Abkhazians, between Tajiks and Afghans Ц in order to split
national-liberation movement. The former president of Russia Yeltsin lied to
peoples: УTake the sovereignty as you can swallowФ. But as soon as Chechen
people declared the independence from Russia
through its nation-wide elected president Jokhar Dudayev, Chechnya
was proclaimed Уthe source of terrorist threatФ. ItТs ridiculous: little Chechnya,
which has no nuclear warheads, which area is 1,200 times less than RussiaТs
area, threatens to Kremlin Ц world gendarme with thousands nuclear warheads!
It is naturally: Russian capitalists
donТt want to give up the Уtasty pieceФ of superprofits, which is gotten from
the plunder of Chechen oil.
Second Chechen war has begun just from
this point: Chechnya has
turned off the pipeline to Russia,
because Kremlin didnТt pay for oil under the treaty. The escapade with
explosions of houses in Moscow
occurred instantly, which was ascribed to Chechens without adducing any proof.
It was not advantageous to do it to Chechen revolutionaries, because they would
set Russian people against them by this act (if Chechens would explode
anything, it would be Kremlin or General prosecutorТs office). But for PutinТs
regime the explosions of houses in Moscow
were advantageous, because they have served as a plausible pretext to
retributive operation. Thus, the cause of this colonial war is turning
off the pipeline by Chechnya
because of non-payment of debts, but the plausible
pretext is the
explosions of houses in Moscow,
like in 1933 the arson of Reichstag was the plausible pretext for establishing
of HitlerТs dictatorship. Putin, donТt waiting for proofs of ChechensТ guilt of
the explosions of houses, began to bomb this long-suffering country, as well as
Hitler set Reichstag on fire and blamed communists for the accident, beginning beforehand
prepared repressions of communists at the same night.
Literally at the next day after the
explosions of houses bourgeois newspaper УKomsomolskaya PravdaФ published the
results of the public opinion poll: allegedly, the majority of Russians think
that it is necessary to bomb Chechnya for the explosions of houses, although
according to the law a man can be named a criminal only after sentencing, and
there was no trial. General effect of this publication is that УKomsomolskaya
PravdaФ carried out this poll before the explosions of houses.
PutinТs regime expends on this predatory
war 2.5 billion USD from budget only in the area of
Ministry of Defense,
but Putin himself blab out that this operation is waged not so much by Ministry
of Defense as by Ministry of Internal Affairs, Federal Security Service etc.,
i.e. in fact the expenses is much more. At the expense of this predatory war,
at the expense of the plunder of Chechen oil ruling elite provides economic
growth Ц police power not without reason so fears decreasing in oil prices at
the world market. Such УgrowthФ is provided by the blood of common Russian lads,
which are thrown in this slaughter, while Putin goes throughout the world with
his wife and lives in costly hotels. УTo bump off even in toilet!Ф Ц cries this
bloody dictator, but he doesnТt shed his blood himself!
Russian military bombs small petroleum refineries
in Chechnya,
i.e. it puts a brake on the economy. It is not accidentally: if Chechnya
would be able to refine its oil itself, Russian capital wouldnТt be able to sell
there finished oil products (gasoline, kerosene, mazut, diesel oil etc.) at exorbitant price Ц today finished oil products are derived from Chechen oil,
which is taken out for nothing, at petroleum refineries in Tatarstan
and Bashkortostan. Russian imperialism destroys Chechen
oil-refining industry in order to hold Chechnya in economic dependence.аа
ааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааа
If we, Russian poor, want to overthrow
the power of the rich and police, who force us to work hardly, who beat and
imprison us, we must advocate Chechen independence, because fascist PutinТs regime,
which oppresses us, is supported by the plunder of colonies. At the expense of the
plunder of colonies capitalists build prisons, arm police, build churches for
deluding people, and bribe communist leaders by privileges in order that they
lie to workers. Today the majority of official communist parties came to terms
with police regime. At police dictation they deceive proletarians that Chechen
fighters for independence are allegedly puppets of Berezovsky, and Afghan
revolutionaries Ц Talibs Ц are allegedly puppets of USA.
Unlike these false communists we Ц
Russian Party of Bolsheviks Ц declare: only if we, Russian proletarians, give
the freedom to colonies of Russia,
then we would be able to put an end to police abuse, to social problems Ц
misery, homelessness, alcoholism, drug addiction and AIDS. УPeople, which
enslave other peoples, canТt be freeФ, - said Marx. Our enemy is not Chechen or
American. Our enemy is new Russian rich, impudent, greedy and lying. а
New revolution to new Russian rich!
