🕯 January 27 is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. #OTD in 1945, soldiers of the Red Army of the First Ukrainian Front liberated prisoners of one of the most horrible concentration camps – Auschwitz (Oswiecim) – in the course of the Vistula-Oder Offensive.
The infamous death factory was established in 1940 near the city of Oswiecim, Poland, which was renamed Auschwitz after the Nazi occupation. It was one of the Third Reich’s biggest concentration camps at about 500 hectares.
Initially, Polish political prisoners were kept in the camp. Later, European Jews, Roma and Soviet POWs were sent there as well. According to various estimates, 75 to 90 percent of its inmates were instantly killed or were subjected to inhuman experiments by camp doctors. All others received registration numbers and were used as slave labour.
Auschwitz II with crematoriums and gas chambers was built in 1941 in the village of Brzezinka (Birkenau in German) just three kilometres from the first camp. In 1942, after the “final solution to the Jewish question” adopted at the Wannsee Conference, this camp was turned into the centre for the annihilation of the European Jews.
In 1944, when the Red Army started the liberation of Europe, the leadership of the death camp rushed to destroy its infrastructure and send inmates westward. About 7,500 people remained in Auschwitz. The Nazis had planned to murder them in a few days.
The Red Army approached Oswiecim after three days of fighting on its outskirts, on the night of January 27, 1945. The prisoners wept with joy on seeing the Soviet liberators. Part of the camp was immediately turned into a recovery hospital.
✍️ Excerpts from memoirs by Colonel Vasily Petrenko, whose 107th division was the first to enter Auschwitz: “It was a horrible sight – bellies swollen from hunger, vacant wandering eyes, arms like ropes, thin legs, huge heads making the rest of the body look unnatural as if sewn on. The kids were silent and showed only the numbers tattooed on their arms.”
✍️ From memoirs of camp inmate L.F. Derevyanko: “When we rushed to the yard, we didn’t see any guards. Soon, Soviet soldiers came in. They took us in their arms and wept together with us. They washed us, cut our hair and dressed us in soft warm clothes. They kept us in quarantine for some time, treated us and fed us well.”
▪️In total, at least 1.3 million people passed through Auschwitz during its existence, about 1.1 million of them were exterminated.
In the past few years, the memory of this great deed of the Soviet soldiers that liberated the camp’s inmates has been systematically destroyed in a number of European countries. It reached the point where the exposition donated by the Central Museum of the Great Patriotic War was closed in the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum in 2022. To preserve the memory of the horrors of Nazism, the Victory Museum has launched the online project Auschwitz – The Truth: https://victorymuseum.ru/playbill/events/multimediynaya-ekspozitsiya-osventsim-pravda-/.
❗️ The accomplishment of the Soviet soldiers that liberated Europe from the Nazi scourge can never be erased.
❗️ The tragedy of the Holocaust must never be repeated.

🎖#OTD 80 years ago the #blockade of #Leningrad was broken
📆 On January 27, 1944, exactly 80 years ago, Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) was finally liberated from the Nazi blockade, 872 days after it began.
▪️The blockade became one of the longest and most destructive events in Russian history, more than 1 million people perished as a result of the siege.
▪️It is impossible for a modern person to fully comprehend the tragedy that the Soviet people experienced during the Siege of Leningrad. The city was cut off from food supplies and there were constant problems with electricity, water supply and heating. Residents were forced to literally survive – burn books and furniture for warmth, bathe in the ice of the frozen Neva River, cook soup from wallpaper glue… From September 1941 to January 27, 1944, when the blockade was finally lifted.

🕯 President of Russia Vladimir Putin is taking part in the events to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the complete liberation of Leningrad from the Nazi siege.
The President laid flowers at the Landmark Stone monument at the Nevsky Pyatachok military-historical complex. From the first days of the siege, the Red Army fighters held back the superior enemy forces in that area, a small three-kilometre stretch of the frontline south of Leningrad, preventing the Nazis and their allies from approaching the city.
The President visited the Piskarevskoye Memorial Cemetery, where he honoured the memory of the fallen Leningrad residents and defenders of the city by laying a wreath at the Motherland monument. About half a million people are buried in mass graves at the Piskarevskoye cemetery. The words of poet Olga Berggolts, ”No one is forgotten, nothing is forgotten“ are carved on the memorial wall behind the Motherland monument.
Leningrad is the only city in world history with a population of several million people that was able to withstand almost 900 days of encirclement. The siege by Nazi Germany lasted 872 days from September 8, 1941, to January 27, 1944. The ring was broken on January 18, 1943, and on January 27, 1944, a ceremonial salute was fired to mark the end of the blockade.
By that time there were no more than 800,000 inhabitants left in the Northern Capital out of the three million who had lived in Leningrad and its suburbs before the siege.

80th anniversary of breaking the siege of Leningrad

❤1👎1
🥇 The 872-day Siege of Leningrad was a harrowing ordeal for everyone who remained in the city. However, each resident of Leningrad contributed to the future victory through their hard work and fortitude. Every citizen, both young and old, actively participated in the defence of the city, extinguishing fires, clearing rubble, building fortifications, working at industrial enterprises, and helping the wounded.
❗️ All this happened against the backdrop of terrible exhaustion from hunger and constant shelling by the enemy.
Children's diaries have a unique place in commemorating the resilience of ordinary people whose will to live triumphed over the oppression of the Third Reich. During this difficult time, some of the city’s children documented on paper the terrible events they witnessed day by day.
🕯 The most famous of these diaries was Tanya Savicheva's notebook, where six out of nine pages chronicle the dates of her relatives' deaths: her mother, grandmother, sister, brother and two uncles. Tragically, Tanya herself died during evacuation in the Gorky Region on July 1, 1944, at the age of 14.
Keeping a diary helped these children cope with anxiety, fear and loss. Under the onslaught of hunger, constant shelling and bombing, and the death of loved ones, a piece of paper and a pencil provided solace and support. These written accounts offer invaluable insights into the experiences of people during those terrible 872 days of the Siege.

⚜️When the Time of Troubles was over, the Romanov dynasty began to rule the country taking active steps in lawmaking. In the mid-17th century there was a need to adapt orders and legislation to new socio-political system. On January 29 (February 8), 1649 the Zemsky Sobor (gathering of representatives of the whole Russian society) adopted a new code of laws of the Russian state — the Council Code of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich (Sobornoye Ulozheniye). Being the main achievement of the reign of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, this grandiose and impressive in its scale and full in terms of legal elaboration legal act for more than two hundred years remained the most developed code of Russian laws, until 1832.

❗️Key takeaways from statements by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey #Lavrov at a roundtable meeting with heads of diplomatic missions on the situation around #Ukraine:
▪️ Western statements that the Baltics, Sweden, and Finland could be the 'next' after the special operation in Ukraine are absurd
▪️ The #West is trying hard to ignore the spread of weapons from Ukraine to hotspots and their use by extremists and terrorists
▪️ The West has already allocated more than $200 billion to Ukraine in less than two years
▪️ The West is unable to stop supporting Kiev despite being aware of the looming failure of the 'Project Ukraine'
▪️ Russia is working to determine the origin of the weapons that Kiev used to down the #Il76 plane which carried Ukrainian POWs over the Belgorod region
▪️ Russia is not banning access to its probe into the downing of the Il-76 plane for those who want to know the truth about what happened
▪️ Weapons sent to Ukraine have already been detected in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Gaza, with Kiev 'doing business' on death

⚡️ Russian Foreign Ministry Statement on the destruction of a Russian Il-76 military transport
💬 On the morning of January 24, the Kiev regime committed another terrorist act by downing a Russian Il-76 military transport plane near the village of Yablonovo in the Korochansky District, Belgorod Region. It was carrying 65 Ukrainian POWs for an agreed-upon exchange. All of them, as well as six crew members and three Russian officers on board the plane were killed.
❗️ The plane was hit by a Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile system from the village of Liptsy in the Kharkov Region.
This is yet another atrocity committed by Zelensky’s criminal regime. Immediately after the plane went down, they made a misanthropic statement about the victory of the “valiant Armed Forces of Ukraine.” However, the office on Bankovaya Street changed its rhetoric as soon as it became known that the plane was carrying Ukrainian servicemen to an exchange site. They then began denying their involvement in the crash.
☝️ Kiev was well aware of the planned exchange. It also knew how the POWs were to be moved and by what route. The attack against the plane was a deliberate act. This terrorist act clearly demonstrates the Kiev regime’s inability to negotiate.
This is not the first cruel murder of Ukrainian POWs by the Zelensky junta. On July 29, 2022, the Banderites fired a missile at the penal colony in Yelenovka (DPR) where militants from the Azov battalion had been held captive. Over 50 people were killed and more than 70 wounded.
‼️ We resolutely condemn the Kiev regime’s terrorist act in the Belgorod Region. All those involved, including the organisers and executors from the Ukrainian military and civilian officials will be identified and held responsibly under Russian law.
This action shows once again the criminal nature of the neo-Nazi dictatorship in Kiev. Its leaders are indifferent to human life. They treat people as “expendable material” and kill them on orders from their Western bosses with Western-supplied arms.
It is perfectly obvious that the Zelensky criminal regime, nurtured by the US and its NATO satellites, poses a substantial threat not only to Russia but also to Ukraine, its ordinary citizens and the rest of the world. Being in agony, this regime can commit the most heinous atrocities.
👉 We believe international organisations, national governments and the world public must denounce this terrorist act and other crimes committed by the Kiev regime. Silence can only mean support for the regime’s barbarous nature and terrorist actions.

💬 Since the beginning of the SMO, representatives of Ukrainian authorities have not officially contacted the Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights. It should be noted that Maria Lvova-Belova is open to interaction with the Ukrainian side, and if official requests were received, they would be considered.
💬 It is important to understand that the territories of the DPR and LPR have been shelled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces for many years, and most orphaned children from social institutions in the republic are aware of this. Children do not perceive Russia as an enemy and expect protection and help from us, so being placed in safe territory with Russian foster families is not a traumatic circumstance for them.
