During the battle of Stalingrad, every seven seconds, the Soviets sent this
message on German military radios: "Every seven seconds a German soldier dies.Stalingrad, mass grave. ---- After his election to the Russian presidency, Putinhad just gone to Volgograd (ex-Stalingrad) to pay homage to the Soviet army withthe idea of rehabilitating a glorious past to better promote the militarism andnationalism of the new Russian state. He who was born to parents who had livedthrough the terrible siege of Leningrad, destroyed by German bombs. ---- TheRussian invasion of Ukraine is today the high point of this rehabilitation. AndUkraine has become a common grave for thousands of people perishing under bombsand bullets. Faced with resistance, the Russian army decided to employ the samestrategy as in Leningrad and Stalingrad: to besiege and destroy the cities underthe bombs.This war, visibly ill-prepared by an autocrat convinced of being hailed as aliberator, came up against military resistance, but also popular resistance fromUkrainians. And the mass grave could also swallow up the militarism of theRussian state and its leader.There is nothing to hope for from a war which first destroys the lives of theproletarians. And there can be no "solution" involving a new territorial divisionor worse a "Finlandization" of Ukraine. But it is to be hoped that the stalemateof the war will cause the weakening of Russian militarism and the downfall of Putin.Ukraine, mass grave.UCL, March 23, 2022https://www.unioncommunistelibertaire.org/?Ukraine-la-fosse-commune_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
