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.

—Kim Il Sung, Works , vol. XIX, Editions in foreign languages, Pyongyang 1984, pp. 94-96.

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.

—Kim Il Sung, Works , vol. XV, Editions in foreign languages, Pyongyang 1983, p. 316.

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.

💬 M.V. Zakharova: April 7 marks exactly 10 years since the proclamation of the Donetsk People's Republic. This decision was taken in the course of a truly popular expression of the people's will.

Ten years ago, with the active intervention of the United States and its allies, a bloody armed coup d'état was carried out in Kiev, as a result of which radical nationalist forces came to power. "Maidan" led to a sharp polarization of Ukrainian society, which created the preconditions for an armed civil conflict.

The US and its satellites were directly interested in the coup d'état in Kiev. With their help, radicals were nurtured and began to establish their own order, impose nationalist ideology on society, rewrite history, and, in fact, turn Ukraine into an anti-Russian project.

The first legislative steps of the "Maidan victors", in particular the attempt to abolish the law on regional languages, were received with alarm in southeastern Ukraine, where the spontaneous formation of popular militia forces began. People demanded their legal rights, first of all the right to speak their native language and to teach their children in it. Under these circumstances, the new Kiev authorities launched the so-called "anti-terrorist operation" for the armed suppression of the popular protests in Donbas.

On April 7, 2014, the Council of Representatives of Municipalities, Political Parties and Public Organizations of the Donetsk Region was formed in Donetsk, at the meeting of which the Declaration of Sovereignty and the Act on the Proclamation of State Autonomy of the Donetsk People's Republic were approved.

🗳 On May 11, 2014, in referendums held simultaneously in Donetsk and Lugansk regions, citizens expressed their attitude to the idea of creating sovereign states. In the DNR, 89.7% of those who voted were in favor of it.

(from a briefing by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, M.V. Zakharova, dated April 3, 2024)

Women bring bread to Soviet prisoners of war

Nazi Germany's war on the Soviet Union was a war of annihilation. Huge numbers of Red Army prisoners of war were fenced-in like this behind barbed wire and then left to die when they had eaten the grass, the soil, their boots.

This photo is from the Kalinin region, 1942.
