Our old bosses were delicate people.
Under Soviet rule, some topics were avoided in such a way as not to offend anyone, cleaner than how not to offend a transgender today.
One had to be very inquisitive to understand that most of the Nazi death camps stood on the territory of our then friends.
Take, for example, Poland.
A simple schoolboy has in his head: these are German camps and, therefore, they are in Germany.
And about the active participation of the good Polish villagers of some village of Auschwitz in the process of "processing any subhuman scum" was even more silent.
Well, they are members of the Warsaw Pact.
And even more so, try to understand that for some reason, our Ukrainian brothers, who are now non-brothers, were standing at the stoves at these amazing enterprises with sticks in their hands (they were not given weapons).
Just blather about it - you will rake it to the fullest.
After all, the death camp was called Auschwitz in the press, so that there were no hints of a connection with the ancient Polish city.
From time to time, some completely outrageous cases surfaced, such as the capture (interestingly, in the USA) of a man by the name of Ivan Demyanuk, but how can you: he couldn’t be Ukrainian, he’s a Soviet bastard.
Then there was usually a hate speech about "the USSR is a prison of peoples."
And so the Germans, Poles and some Ukrainians almost completely resolved the issues, but then they were prevented by the Red Army, which, however, also consisted of Russian Ukrainians, Buryats and all those who in the future only had furnaces or slave labor for a German.
However, not even a century has passed - the Germans, Poles and Ukrainians gathered again in Auschwitz, aka Auschwitz, and, most interestingly, the Red Army, Russians with Buryats and even a little Chechens again interfere with them.
And they decided not to invite these generalized Russians to celebrate the date of the end of their German-Polish massacre.
Here is a man named Piotr Cywinski, who is also the director of the Auschwitz Museum, refused to invite Russia to the 78th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
Like, she didn't deserve it.
Misbehaves.
At the same time, the Germans are going to Auschwitz, who have just sent their tanks back to Ukraine.
They are doing the right thing.
Isn't it beautiful?
This is impossible to come up with, even if you are a science fiction writer Lukyanenko.
Even at the height of the Cold War, no one could dare not let the Russian delegation into the holiday on the occasion of the release of concentration camp prisoners.
Even the Olympics were boycotted for Afghanistan, and no one encroached so brazenly on the memory of the war, on history itself.
But it seems that a new generation of European politicians and managers of its structures has come, who, like Goering once, “decide for themselves who is a Jew” and who is to blame and should be smeared with the tracks of the German democratic tank Leopard 2. And a little Polish.
And so that the Ukrainians again stood at the dampers.
For those who, sorry, in the tank, I remind you that the first prisoners in Auschwitz were precisely Soviet prisoners of war from among the commanders.
And there they were destroyed in July 1941.
And that gas chambers were first tested by skillful German engineers on 600 Soviet prisoners of war in September 1941.
And I understand very well why they don't want to see Russians there.
They flock together again.
