THE IDEAS OF LENINISM ARE IMMORTAL
83 years ago on 21 January 1924 Vladimir Ilyich Lenin’s heart stopped beating - the leader and teacher of the world proletariat, the creator of the Communist Party of Bolsheviks, under the leadership of the which the working class, the labouring masses of Russia took power into their own hands. For the first time in history under the leadership of Lenin a multinational workers-peasants state was formed, a brotherly union of countries and peoples - the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The USSR in the shortest historical period of time became the largest state in the world, saved the whole of humanity from the hell of fascism, was the first into space, and the first to control atomic energy etc.. All these achievements were made possible thanks to the creative labour of the Soviet people and which was organised and led by the Leninist Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks) headed by J.V. Stalin, having brilliantly embodied into life Marxist-Leninist ideas.
And namely the rejection of Leninism as Marxism in the epoch of imperialism and proletarian revolutions is what led to the temporary defeat of socialism, the destruction of the Soviet Union and the socialist camp in Eastern Europe. But the time of the triumph of the reaction and imperialism is not everlasting. The labouring people are all the more on the basis of living experience convinced that capitalism and the wrecking of the USSR has brought them only bitterness and suffering. Across the whole world there is a growing struggle against imperialism and reaction. And the route to victory is pointed out to labouring masses by the immortal ideas of Leninism..

OUR LEAFLET
COMRADES!
Putin and Duma have executed their age old dream of the Russia bourgeoisie: the 7 November is no longer a public holiday - day of celebration. Instead, they propose that you celebrate "accord" and "people's unity". Interesting with whom we are to be in accord with and with whom unite with? Perhaps factory workers with the factory owners, collective farm workers with oligarchs, doctors with budget thieves, teachers with bandits? Yes, the bourgeoisie would very much like that. Another cause is the Great October Socialist Revolution. That was the revolution which deprived the thieves and bloodsuckers of the localities , palaces, factories and banks, and most importantly - power. In 1917, power in the country became- workers' power. Deputies at all levels were nominated by workers' collectives, who regularly reported back to the workers and were easily called to account. Between sessions, deputies worked at their own enterprises. Half of the Supreme Soviet was made up of deputies who worked on machines and tractors. Power was formed by the working people and served the working people. The exploiters were deprived the right to vote. Yes, indeed - this was a terrible violation of bourgeois democracy! Yes, this was a dictatorship of the proletariat. Today we have a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. Parliament, the president, the authorities and laws all serve the interests of the money sacks. The law on federal public holidays also serves them. Ell let them celebrate their own bourgeois holidays. The workers have their own. They have something to remember, something to celebrate on the day of Great October. Long live a new proletarian revolution!

COMMUNISM - IS THE YOUTH OF THE WORLD
The liberals nowadays love to chatter on about how the October Revolution was in all -only an experiment. Let us get to the bottom of this "rubbish". Beginning with the 1920-s, the results of socialism outdid capitalist results in all spheres of social life so much, that to speak of a 70 -year old "experiment" is to put it mildly - "unscientific". What was created was a society of high moral already in the first generations. People of the same age as Soviet people in Poland, Czechoslovakia, France, Holland and other "civilised" countries surrendered after the initial attacks by fascism. Our grandfathers and fathers took this attack and at a price of huge efforts and losses smashed fascism by the neck. If you compare countries with equal sized population and with mixed nationalities, then socialism lowered the number of crimes per head of population by several times compared to say, the USA, and this was achieved not by terror. Towards the end of the existence of the USSR, there were about 800 thousand convicts in prison where the population stood at 300 million, but in the USA it was 1.1 - 1.4 million convicts to a population of 250 million. Let us examine this - is a collapse of communism really possible? You see, before designing a continuous motor (one that will never wear out) you need to contemplate as to whether or not it is possible in principle? Concerning continuous motors, well people had been contemplating this already in the last century. Designs by inventors of continuous motors are nowhere patented. But is it possible to destroy communism?
At the basis of communism lays the idea that in a society of people there must be justice, and since people are equal then justice must be one for all.
The growth in the number of Earth’s inhabitants and the raising of the educational level make communism inevitable. It can be resisted, one can extricate oneself with all kinds of “Swedish models” (of socialism) or unemployment benefits. But this is agony and since injustice is hate, hate overcomes fear of the law, and then after that there follows revolutionary violence and justice triumphs together with communism.
In Russia this will happen quite soon, although the regime of the “reformers” has brought about a reduction in the size of Russia’s population. The process of population decline is lengthy and without war it will need possibly 50 years to reduce the population by half and get to today’s level of production (in order the standard of living of a Russian would be if only the average to that of the level in the USSR). The bourgeois regime will simply not have enough time to do this - it will be swept away.
Russia’s population and territory today (excluding the Arctic circle) is comparable to Brazil. In Brazil you have a tropical climate, coasts that we Russians cannot even dream of. Even under exact equal conditions, just due to the climate alone we have to live harder than the Brazilians. But we had socialism and Brazil there is capitalism.
This is what Alexander Zinoviev writes: “Three years ago I was in San-Paulo. 19 million people live there. Out of them,15 million live in such conditions that hardly bear thinking about. No electricity and no sewerage system. Slum shacks knocked together out of rubbish: norias, wooden and cardboard boxes. Gangs of youths spread terror. Special units of the police murder them like wild animals. No medical service. Next to no education.”
Capitalist Russia can expect this too, except for one little thing - in Russia one can live like that only in summer.
Indeed, nowadays we are wearing out the legacy of the USSR - its houses and factories, its transport and even its clothes. It will all be worn out and then we shall live like they do Brazil. I think that least of all the Russian capitalists believe in the collapse of communism. Among them, even the not so major capitalists, they have bought a house in the West and have sizable savings. They are not stupid people and are not without foresight.
Thus, to talk about having buried communism even economically is too early on the strength that it is impossible to bury it. Even if a miracle occurred and the “reformers” in a way unknown preserved the production level at what it was in the USSR, it would have only pushed aside a return. But they turned out “on top” and with their present-day experiment have brilliantly confirmed that communism - this is the youth of the world.

FIGHTING KAZAKHSTAN
UPRISING IN THE MOUNTAINOUS REGIONS OF ALMATA!
On 14 July in the surburban district of of Almata (Alma Ata- ed.) - "Shanirak" a massive clash took place between people's defence militia units consisting of young people with detachments of SOBRA. Here is why the working peole under the slogans "Down with Nazarbaev!", "Down with the mayor of Tasmagambetov!" victored. They victored under red flags and banners which were prepared and made by the Socialist Resistance of Kazakhstan.
Around one thousand inhabitants of Shanirak fought with divisions of the MVD (Ministry of the Interior) and won. More than 40 police officers were wounded, five of which are in a critical condition, and one meanwhile unconfirmed - dead. There are wounded among those taking part in the uprising also, including one activist of the Socialist Resistance- Daniyar Enikeev who was wounded by a percussion grenade which exploded near the side of him and burnt part of his body.
At the meeting which continued, around 5 thousand people took part. The authorities and the police were forced to stop the military operation and retreat in order to have a number of police officers returned to them after they had been taken prisoner by the rebels. Despite the retreat, those people living in the suburban microdistricts (there are 14 of them out of a population of 200 - 300 people), the proletariat of the capital city are ready to continue the fight for their homes and the right to life and freedom!). You can find out more by visiting websites www.zonakz.net and read the article in detail at http://www.zonakz.net/articles15052).
Now in prison are languishing two young workers from Bakaya, having defended their own homes from demolition on 12 May: Mukazhanov Hurkhat, d.o.b. 1983 and Tompakov Il'yans, d.o.b. 1986. They are accused of allegedly during the storming on 12 May, at one point on the roof of one of the homes to have brought bodily harm to riot police. What is interesting about this is that the riot police were fully kitted out and in full view of all the inhabitants and were pushing young boys and girls from off the roofs and afterwards were beating them with truncheons and kicking them on the ground. Now it seems it is the inhabitants of Bakaya who are to blame for having defended themselves and the roofs over their heads.
The Socialist Resistance of Kazakhstan appeals to all workers, young people and revolutionary organisations to support the fight of landless and oppressed inhabitants of the regions of Almata and raise their voice in the form of letters and faxes of protest in the address of the mayor of the southern capital of Kazakhstan and for the dropping of criminal proceedings against N.M. Mukazhanov and I.M. Tompakov and also the persecution of activists of the movement held in Shanirak after the events that took place.
Address of the apparatus of the mayor of Almata, Imangali Tasmagambetov: 050000, Republic of Kazakhstan, Almata, Mayor Imangali Tasmagambetov, tel: 8 (3272) 716557; tel/fax; 934710; e-mail: mayor@almaty.kz; website of mayor: www.almaty.kz).
Already photo video material has been gathered and there are a number of witnesses proving the use by the riot police against the citizens of besides truncheons and water-cannon of also firearms shooting rubber bullets and the use of percussion grenades. More than that, since the 17 July, in Shanirak and Bakaya the police of Almata have been carrying out mass arrests of inhabitants of these micro-districts using all possible violations. Many of those being held were beaten and subjected to psycological pressure. Just on the 25 July alone via the departament of the interior passed 121 people and the arrests each day continue. There is one more factor that in all arrogance characterizes our police state structure and the essence of the state and that is in the disappearance and sale of inhabitants of these micro-districts. There have been cases that are being investigated when the police tried preventing the inhabitants of Shanirak and Bakaya from entering the reception-distributor, confiscating all documents and during the "establishment of their ID" continued interrogating "with passion". If these cases turn out to be proven true, then this in full lightwill confirm the presence of secret prisons in our country. Data on a large number of of information on cases of torture are being rechecked. Unfortunately many of those living in Shanirak have been intimidated by threats of reprisal which therby extremely complicate the gathering and proving facts. There is also information that separate people were refused medical aid at medical institutions. Some of those who suffered were compelled to keep quiet about the cause of their injuries in order not be arrested.

PROTESTS IN THE CENTRE OF KIEV
THOUSANDS OF LEFT WING ACTIVISTS STOPPED OUN-UPA FASCISTS ALONG THE KRESCHATIK
Left wing activists entered Kreschatik Square in Kiev, Ukraine to stop a march from taking place by the fascist organisation OUN-UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army)which during the II WW fought on the side of Hitlerite Germany.
Special forces arrived at the square before anyone else did. They received orders not to allow anyone onto the road - signed by the courts banning today any mass action in the centre of Kiev. However, activists of the progressive socialist party tried to break through the cordon and into Kreschatik sq. Ten people were detained. The others remained the other side to the cordon chanting “Fascism will not pass!” These words were addressed to the nationalists who were trying to march along the Kreschatik and thus mark the 64 Anniversary since the formation of the UPA.
President Yushchenko today stated that the “brilliance of the UPA is written in gold in the records of Ukraine and will always remain dear in the people’s memory”. The veterans of the Soviet Army say that to forget about what those in the UPA did is truly impossible. II World War veterans remember how that it was namely those in the insurgent movement who destroyed the people in Bab’em Yaru, Belarus and in Western Ukraine. And the SS division “Galchina” and “Rolan” and the German battalion “Naftigal” swore an oath of allegiance to Hitler. The leader of the Communist Party of Ukraine (CPU) Petr Simonenko called Yushchenko the country’s main provocateur - the president is planning on rehabilitating the UPA by his own order.
Simonenko believes that in such a way, Yushchenko is rubbing his boots and blackening the great military campaign of the WWII vet4erans. Grigory Govelets who fought in the UPA is now ready to shake hands with those who fought under red flags. But Mikhail Golubev does not agree with this. He was only six when one of the “heroes” of the UPA shot him at point blank range because the boy had hidden the family’s chickens. In Vinnitsky region alone, scores of people were murdered by the UPA for such “crimes”. The veterans of the WWII say they will never reach out to nationalists - the fighters of the UPA shot the fighters of the Red Army in the back. Today, Kreschatik is in the sphere of a circle of UPA veterans and the Soviet Army, but in the streets themselves they have not met.
