In April 1948, he left for Damascus to meet with the Military Committee of the League of Arab States in order to ask for arms to repel the zionist incursion into Al-Quds, but the League failed him and the people of Palestine. It was at that time he received news of the occupation of Al-Qastal, a strategically located village west of Al-Quds. Before he left, Al-Husseini wrote a letter to the League in which he says, “I hold you accountable after you left my soldiers at the heights of the victories without aid or weapons”.
He returned one last time to fight, waging a fierce battle against the incursion into Al-Quds and proclaimed, "I am going to al-Qastal, and I will storm it and occupy it, even if that leads to my death. By God, I am tired of life and death has become dearer to me than this treatment that the League has dealt us. I am now wishing for death before I see the Jews occupying Palestine. The men of the league and the leadership are betraying Palestine."
When the news spread that he planned to liberate Al-Qastal, fighters across Palestine came to his aid, liberating the village and raising the Palestinian flag later that afternoon on April 8, 1948. Fighters would later find out he was martyred during its liberation.
His legacy was carried forward by his wife Wajeeha Al-Husseini who was his partner in struggle, a daughter and three sons, who fought in the ranks of the Palestinian revolution after the Nakba of 1948.
His unwavering bravery and tireless efforts to defend our homeland and resist occupation continue to inspire us in our struggle for liberation. His courage and sacrifice remain a guiding light as we persevere steadfastly in the face of the cowardly zionist enemy. We honor Al-Husseini’s legacy by renewing our commitment to our struggle. We draw strength from his sacrifice and all those who followed in his footsteps. Together, we will continue the struggle until martyrdom or victory.
Glory to the eternal Martyr Abdelqader Al-Husseini.
Long live the resistance.
Long live Palestine.

Zina Portnova was born on February 20, 1926 in Leningrad into a working-class family. Her father was from Belarus. In the summer of 1941, after graduating from the 7th grade of school No. 385 in Leningrad, Zina Portnova and her seven-year-old sister Galya came on vacation to her grandmother in the village of Zui, Shumilinsky district, Vitebsk region. Here the schoolgirl was caught by the war. Zina saw bitterness and tears, bullying and death around her. A feeling of burning hatred for the enemy was born in the young heart. It grew every day, with every meeting with the fascists. In 1942, Zina Portnova joined the Obol underground Komsomol organization and became a member of its committee.

Always remember that whatever Erdogan says in his romantic perorations to pan-Islamic or pan-Turkic brotherhood his soul does not belong to the almighty but to Turkish capitalism. That the AKP gang have been forced into making this concession is a sign that they are under a great deal of domestic pressure though and thus should be seen as positive.

KIM THE SUNG VS. DRUNK MINERS
from a speech at the Unryul mine on 22 January 1965
I discovered that your shop sells an average of 40 liters of liquor a day. From this figure, I can deduce that at least 200 people drink every day. Perhaps you will be offended because I scold you for a drink. If you think so, you are wrong. I don't criticize you just because you drink alcohol, but because you should have a sense of proportion even in libations.
Digging haphazardly during the day and then picking fights in the evening, after drinking, is a bad habit acquired by working under the lash of capitalists in the past.
Our workers, having become the masters of the country, have no time to get drunk and give in to frivolity. When they return home after the day's work, they have to study, educate their children and always think about how to increase production. You, on the other hand, make a fuss about the exhaustion of supplies of alcoholic beverages in the canteen, instead of taking care of re-tuning the equipment to carry out the excavation work well and improve the functioning of the mine. Worse, you are not ashamed of working only four hours a day in the optimal conditions of open-pit mining. This behavior denotes a lack of party spirit and little dedication to the working class. […]
The workers must completely get rid of the old habit of living hand to mouth, a vice acquired when they were objects of exploitation by the capitalists. Our workers today are not wage earners forced to sell their labor power to capitalists to survive, but rather masters of a new society in which they have power in their own hands. The exponents of our working class must be revolutionary fighters aware of fighting for the well-being of the people and for the prosperity of the country.

Fighting licentiousness and frivolity is another of our duties. They too are remnants of the old society. We must put an end once and for all to drunkenness and gambling, to the moral disorder of both sexes and to libertine life. Having fun with pleasure does not in any way mean abandoning yourself to degradation or falling into depravity. We must know how to have fun on a more noble and edifying level and always lead a healthy life.

On February 27, 1943, in the battle for the village of Chernushki (Pskov region), 19-year-old guard private Sailor Alexander Matveevich covered the embrasure of the Nazi machine-gun bunker with his body. In June 1943, he was posthumously awarded the noscript of Hero of the Soviet Union. During the Great Patriotic War, more than 300 soldiers accomplished the same feat. Sailor was not the first in this ranks, but it was his name that became a symbol of heroism.

165 years ago, on February 20, 1859, Fyodor Afanasyevich Afanasyev, a Russian revolutionary worker, Bolshevik, was born.
Born in the village of Yazvischi, St. Petersburg province. In 1871 he was sent to the factory school of the Krenholm manufactory in Narva, where he worked as a weaver. After military service, he spent some time in his homeland, where, despite his young age, he was elected local elder.
Soon, however, he left the village with someone else’s passport to wander around Russia. He lived in Odessa, where he worked at the port, and wandered around the south. There he was arrested and sent to his homeland, from where he went to St. Petersburg with his passport and entered Voronin’s factory, where he organized a weaving circle.
In 1889 he became a member of the “Central Working Committee”, created with the aim of uniting Social Democratic circles. The first May rally of St. Petersburg workers in 1891 was organized largely through the efforts of Afanasyev.
In the spring of 1891 he moved to Moscow, where he was sent by L. Krasin to organize workers' circles and establish contacts.
In 1892, he was arrested in the Brusnev case and, after a three-year prison sentence, was deported to his homeland.

Since February 1896, Afanasyev visited Riga, Shuya, Pavlovsky Posad and Ivanovo-Voznesensk. In Ivanovo-Voznesensk he became one of the leaders of the local group of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party, but in November 1903 he was again arrested by the police.
In January 1904, he was released under special supervision, settled in Ivanovo-Voznesensk, went underground and worked for a long time as secretary of the Northern Committee of the RSDLP, and then secretary of the Ivanovo-Voznesensk Committee of the RSDLP.
Bolshevik. He was extremely popular among the workers, who called him “Father.” Together with Mikhail Frunze, he became one of the leaders of the Ivanovo-Voznesensk strike of 1905. He was elected as a deputy of the St. Petersburg Council of Workers' Deputies.
On October 22 (November 4), 1905, during a rally on the Talka River, Fyodor Afanasyev was torn to pieces by a crowd of Cossacks and Black Hundreds. A memorial sign was erected at the site of his death.
