UKRAINE AFTER THE ILLEGITIMATE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS OF MAY 25, 2014
The working people came to the fore front of HISTORY on May 25 in Ukraine where presidential elections took place, which the junta prepared in a hurry, trying to quickly legalize itself in the eyes of Western "partners".
The voting result - a victory to oligarch Poroshenko - was quite predictable. President-elect Poroshenko funded "evromaydan" before successfully passing the test of allegiance to the United States, and on May 25 was only formally approved by the electoral farce. On May 25 Ukraine had only a changeover of power from one oligarchy group to another more pro - American oriented one. If the previously oligarchic bourgeoisie hired officials to implement the policies of the largest capital, it is now the largest capital that stakes its claims to political power itself, not wanting to trust hired officials. The petty bourgeoisie was thus partly on the same side with the proletariat of Donbass.
The May 25 elections were accompanied by mass fraud, egregious violations of electoral procedures, and the conducting by Kiev of a military "anti-terrorist" bloody bandit military operation to pacify the rebellious people of Donbass.
Barack Obama and European leaders of leading imperialist states - sponsors of the anti-state fascist coup on February 22, along with the bloody anti-terrorist operations against the Dontetsk Peoples Republic (DPR) and Lugansk Peoples Republic (LPR), and the heinous burning alive of civilians in Odessa on May 2 - rushed immediately to recognize the "legitimacy" of the elections. It does not matter to the West that in Donbass (6.6 million people) did not participate in the vote, or a number of other regions had a turnout of less than 50 % of voters, that voting in some places actually went at gunpoint (with threats from the "right sector" - "if you do not come to vote, we will come to you ... ").
One of the first orders of Obama's to the newly appointed President Poroshenko was the strengthening of the military operation against the people of Donbass using rockets, bombs, multiple rocket launchers and other heavy weaponry – which drowned Donetsk, Slovyansk and other areas in blood.
The actions of Nazi Poroshenko that came to power brought a final end to the possibility of creating a federal or even confederal state of Ukraine.
A statement by Yatsenuk (premiere in the new government) on the introduction into each ministry another additional deputy minister - "consultant on European integration" - indicates complete surrender Ukraine to its plunder by the US and the West, a failure to conduct independent policy and the voluntary surrender of the Ukrainian people into slavery.
What is being now done to Ukraine by the oligarchy of Nazis Kolomoysky, Poroshenko and their associates (pro-American forces) can not but cause a mass explosion of popular indignation and strengthening of ubification processes not only in the South-East of Ukraine, but also across the entire country. In view of the imminent total economic collapse, there is the approaching terrible impoverishment of the working people of Ukraine. The "West" is not interested in improving the lives of the people and thus any hope of any help is illusory. This is evidenced by at least the EU demand for reduction of social benefits to the population, reducing wages, rising prices for everything and so forth as one of the main conditions for granting Ukraine the financial "aid".
Antiwar protests in the country are gaining strength.
Today at the forefront of history enters the working people ...
On May 24 in Donetsk at the Congress of People's Representatives the creation of Novorossiya – a Union of two independent people's republics - Donetsk and Luhansk took place. It was announced that other areas can join the Union, as soon as they pass a referendum on independence.
The Congress of People's Representatives received delegates from Kharkov, Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk, Odessa, etc. (145 delegates from 8 regions of the South-East of Ukraine). The Congress on May 24 also created the "Popular Front" – a social and political unification of the South-East which will be extended to other regions of Ukraine.
The tough opposition by the insurgent people to the criminal oligarchy in Ukraine is increasing. On May 27, miners in Donetsk announced an indefinite strike to demand the withdrawal of junta troops from the territory of Donbass and on May 28, they held a peace march under the slogan "Fascism will not pass!" and a rally during which that pledged to enforce its demands with weapons in hands .
The war against fascism is becoming more of a class war. In the DPR before the presidential election, an intention was announced to nationalize the property of the oloigarchs, the common peoples property that was stolen from the people during the destruction of the USSR.
With a further aggravation of the situation in Ukraine, class war can naturally turn into a revolution. "Every revolution signifies a drastic change in the lives of the vast masses of the people. If such a revolution is not matured, then a real revolution can not happen." (V.I. Lenin, Poln.sobr.soch., V34, p.55). According to V.I. Lenin (ibid.), "... During a revolution, millions and tens of millions of people every week will learn more than in a year of a usual, sleepy life." It is this rapid revolutionary insight of the people, the working class and the miners of Donbass that is happening in Ukraine. And the coming revolution can become and it will become a socialist revolution.
Down with fascism on Ukrainian land!
Down with the fascist dictatorship - the power of capitalist oligarchs!
Workers of Ukraine, unite!

APPEAL
By the Bureau of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks (CC AUCPB) for Belarus and the Kaliningrad region and patriotic public association "Fatherland" to the leadership of the Republic of Belarus in connection with a plan to send Belarusian observers to the Ukraine presidential elections on May 25, 2014
As we learned from the media, to monitor the early presidential elections in Ukraine, that were scheduled for May 25, 2014, observers would be sent from the Central Election Commission of Belarus. It should be noted that the position of our ally Russia on this issue remained more consistent and principled, as stated in the State Duma: the Russian court decided not to send observers to the elections, while the bloodshed in Ukraine continues.
The decision to hold early presidential elections on May 25, 2014 was adopted by the Verkhovna Rada after the coup d'état by the neo-bandera paramilitary troops of the "right sector" and "Freedom" party thus trampling over the agreement of February 21, 2014, signed by the President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych with officials and foreign ministers of Germany, France and Poland, and representatives of the Ukrainian political opposition that called for the disarmament of illegal military formations and withdrawal of enforcement structures from the centre of Kiev.
After the coup in the country, an open terrorist fascist dictatorship was established, so decisions made by Rada deputies under pressure (practically at gunpoint) and threats of physical violence against them and their families, can not be considered legitimate. The purpose of the current presidential election is to make the current fascist power legitimate and accountable to the U.S., the EU and NATO. In these circumstances, when the power in Ukraine has become totally dependent on Zionist pro-Western circles of the Ukrainian oligarchy, there is no doubt that whoever is chosen from "independence " circles, it will be a protege of Washington. (This is indeed how it turned out with Poroshenko - FB). Apparently, the U.S. government did not in vain, as the State Department spokeswoman Jennifer Psak put it, listed the Ukrainian government about $ 11.4 million for the organization of the presidential election, which would naturally be "free and fair".
The leadership of NATO does not sleep either. Four days before the designated election, sensational news was spread around the world: NATO troops had sent its experts to Ukrainian nuclear power plants, and world opinion expressed surprise that working in the atomic sphere of Ukraine is the NATO military block, and not the IAEA.
As regards the possibility of legitimate elections in Ukraine today, we can not but agree with one of the statements made by President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko on 23.03.2014 at a polling station during the local elections: "What can be done to unite Ukraine? Ukraine today needs help. It is necessary to hold normal elections. I do not believe that it can pass as normal presidential election in a situation where there are several law enforcement groups and subdivisions."
Yes, indeed, under a punitive operation by armed forces deployed by the Kiev junta against the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, where the people overwhelmingly supported the proclamation of state independence of the republics and refused to participate in the planned Ukrainian presidential elections election, a sham electoral process even in bourgeois democracy. No wonder, seeing all this, well-known Ukrainian politicians O. Tsarev and P. Simonenko withdrew from the presidential race.
However, the illegitimacy of the elections in Ukraine is still not the main problem for its people. The main trouble is that the shadow of medieval barbarism is looming over Ukraine. The republic after 70 years of liberation from fascism is again under its heel. The whole world was shaken by what the Ukrainian national fascists created in Odessa, which now this entire tragedy is called the Odessa Khatyn. Blood runs cold in one’s veins when you see footage of the execution of civilians in the South- East of Ukraine, not to forget the ruthless murder of police officers and residents in the city of Mariupol on sacred Victory Day of May 9. Unfortunately, in the Belarusian media, unlike the Russian media, little is written about this. And this is in a partisan-republic, where one in three people were killed during the Great Patriotic War.
We must not forget the lessons of history. Hitler's Nazis to come to power not only using assault troops, financed by Krupp, Flick, Thyssen and others (the prototype in Ukraine are neo-bander gangs of the "right sector" (D. Yarosh ) and "Freedom" party (Svoboda) (O. Tyagnibok) now funded by Kolomoisky, Firtash, Taruta ...). Hitler's National Socialists also used legitimate presidential elections and parliamentary elections to the Reichstag towards the establishment of a fascist dictatorship in Germany, where deputies were elected (the spiritual heirs of the Nazis, representatives of neo-bander extreme nationalist parties are also currently have a significant number of seats in the Ukrainian parliament – Upper house).
The election on May 25, 2014 in Ukraine, which the imperialist reactionaries aimed to hold, will not eliminate the crisis in Ukraine. On the contrary, a situation that may arise after them will exacerbate the international situation in Europe and throughout the world to the limit with the prospect of a new world war.
Summing up the above, the Patriotic public association "Fatherland" appealed to the leadership of the republic with the demand not to send observers from Belarus to Ukraine 's presidential elections May 25, 2014.
The authority of the Republic of Belarus will only grow if its leaders condemn the fascist regime established in Ukraine and call on the international community to organize a Nuremberg trial of major neo-banderite criminals.

PUTIN CHICKENED OUT AND PLACED THE PEOPLE OF DONBASS AT THE MERCY OF THE JUNTA
Donbass Fighting On
First of all, we welcome the results of the national referendum in DPR (Donetsk Peoples Republic) and LPR (Lugansk Peoples Republic) and congratulate the people of the region, who declared loudly about unity in the struggle against the present-day, now American fascism. Results of the successfully held referendum (in the People's Republic of Donetsk with a turnout of 74.87 % of the electorate, 89.07 % voted "for" national sovereignty of the DPR, and in the People's Republic of Lugansk with a turnout of 81 %, 90.53 % votd "for" state sovereignty of the LPR) today are recognized only by Cyprus and the Crimea. Russia remains silent, forgetting about its recent slogans - "We are one!" etc.
Fighting Donbass never received humanitarian aid from Russia, to which an appeal and a request for help was made. On 14 May 2014 the Russian State Duma in the person of its Chairman (Speaker) S. Naryshkin declared only parliamentary discussions with parliaments of other countries (about parliamentary useless demagoguery).
President Vladimir Putin "DID NOT HEAR" the call for help. We also have not had a response to our open letter to the President on May 6 - "Prevent a humanitarian catastrophe in the South- East of Ukraine." It turns out that Putin chickened out, because he is afraid of an angry shout from across the ocean in Washington, and instead placed the people of Donbass at the mercy of the fascist junta of Kiev.
The same U.S. which organized the brutal chaos in the Ukraine, and spent billions of dollars over the past 20 years on the preparation and implementation of an armed coup in Kiev, does not want to miss out on tasty morsels and so coveted a prey - resource-rich Ukraine "in the underbelly" of Russia and continue the bloody orgy by strangers’ hands (as always) – in the war against the people of the South- East, directing their obedient corrupt puppets in Kiev.
Rebellious Donbass is not giving up fighting. The number of civilian casualties is growing, having being shot at by heavy weapons (mortars, heavy machine guns , grenade launchers, multiple launch rocket systems "Grad" and howitzers "Acacia", BMD, helicopters, etc.) by the army of Ukraine sent from Kiev along with well-armed bandits of the "right sector" and other vermin formed in the "Volunteer Army of Ukraine."
The war in South- East Ukraine is not a civil war, but a war against fascism, nurtured in the U.S. over the last 20 years in Ukraine. Nurtured as thugs and any criminal scum trained up in special military camps in western Ukraine, Belarus, Poland ... In Donbass is a class war against thieves of the criminal oligarchy, swallowing up all the country's wealth.
Donbass is known for its revolutionary and anti-fascist tradition. It was here, in what is now the People's Republic of Lugansk, in Krasnodon during the Great Patriotic War that was formed and operated the underground Komsomol organization "Young Guard". On the land of the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics is now fighting the organized working class.
Donbass workers have realized that freedom and independence do not fall from the sky, they have to fight for them.
In early May, workers of all seven mines in the town of Krasny Luch instead of working in the mine arrived at the checkpoints with guns to rise up to defend their land. On the eve of the referendum, five mines were taken under the control of the insurgent workers - Bulavin, Olhovatsky, Poltavaskya, Enakievskaya, Ugledarskaya and also Enakievskiy Metallurgical Plant owned by oligarch Akhmetov and Enakievskiy Coke Plant.
The mayor of Sloviansk, Ponomarev, spoke of the need to nationalize industry: "So no one has any illusions, I want to say that the entire industry in the city will be nationalized. We can not leave the industrial potential of the city in the hands of unscrupulous businessmen." DPR Prime Minister Alexander Boroday also spoke of his intention to nationalize property of the tycoons sponsoring the Kiev junta.
Crimes committed by American fascism in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Syria and now in the lands of Novo- and Malorossiya (New – and Little Russia) suggest that global capital is gradually losing its power over the world and therefore has become especially dangerous and aggressive.
The world Zionist supreme government, which the Ukrainian oligarchy belongs to, has stated its claim to the wealth of Ukraine and the direct destruction of its people. Without waiting for victory, the U.S. hawks have begun to divide the coveted prey.
The duty of ALL honest people is to help the just struggle of peoples against American fascism.
We deeply empathize with the tragedy of the insurgent people of Donbass and wish them VICTORY in spite of the unequal balance of force.

Miners from Krasnodon get pay rise from "Metinvest"
Miners on strike since April 22 from the association "Krasnodonugol", part of the group "Metinvest" of the richest businessman Rinat Akhmetov, Ukraine, on April 27 unblocked mine administration building and started back to work.
"The parties have agreed that there will be increased wages by twenty percent, and created a commission on bonuses and the adoption of a new collective bargaining agreement," the union said in a statement.
On April 22 at the five mines of the association "Krasnodonugol” a strike began with the demand for a salary increase. 80 percent of the miners did not come to work and blocked the administration building of "Krasnodonugol." During the first 3 days of downtime "Krasnodonugol" lost about 16 million hryvnia, according to company representatives.
"Krasnodonugol" is the largest company in Ukraine (now Luhansk People's Republic) coking coal. The composition of "Krasnodonugol" includes five coal mining units, two coal preparation plants, repair, transport and energy units. The company has its own medical service, as well as a developed social sphere.
At the coal mining and service units of "Krasnodonugol" work about 15.5 thousand people.

In the Donetsk Republic, mines and factories have been nationalized
As the official "Twitter " account of the People's Republic of Donetsk reports, on May 8 in Yenakievo five mines had passed into control of the insurgent people: Bulavin , Olhovatsky, Poltava Enakievskaya, Ugledarskaya.
Apart from them, the people placed under their control Enakievskiy Metallurgical Plant, owned by oligarch Akhmetov and Enakievskiy Coke Plant.
According to Ukrainian media, flags of the Donetsk People's Republic are flying from buildings.

At the Petrovskyaya mine a solidarity strike was declared.
On May 8 at 15:00, the miners went on strike. Work at the coal enterprise was temporarily suspended.
Thus, the miners showed their solidarity with the DPR and supported the referendum on the status of the Donetsk region on May 11.
How long the strikes will continue is still unknown.
The Petrovskya mine is a coal mining company (in Donetsk). It has been in operation since 1903. The production capacity is 300 thousand tons per year. Actual production is abound 123 tonnes (2003).

Kiev drivers sent stale bread to officials in protest.
On April 29 in Kiev a protest took place under the name "Bread and water - driver's food." The organizers of the event were the "Free Trade Union of Railwaymen." The purpose of the event was to draw attention to the authorities and the public that the embezzlers are stealing proceeds from "Kyivpastrans" but for drivers there remains virtually nothing.
The action was attended by drivers of KP "Kyivpastrans."
Protesters gathered outside the metro station "Khreschatyk" from where they proceeded to Shevchenko RGA to hand over to chairman of KGGA Bondarenko a symbolic loaf of stale bread.

Observers from the Organization "For clean elections" did not find violations that could affect the outcome of the referendum. They also noted the high level of voting, given the fact that it was almost a referendum on the battlefield.
"The high turnout of citizens shows the great interest of the population to this referendum and that there was no compulsory voting, since to the polling stations arrived not just representatives of the public sector," - said in a commentary the federal housing coordinator of observers Mikhail Polyakov to the press service.
At the same time, the fact that the referendum emphasizes independence in decision-making and "lack of outside influence on members of initiative groups of Luhansk and Donetsk regions."

Despite the military junta provocation (a checkpoint under fire in Slavyamsk on the night of May 11, an arson attack on a military unit in Mariupol, attempts to disrupt voting in the Luhansk region in the Novoaydarsky district by an armored invasion by the junta into Krasnoarmiysk where employees punitive battalion "Dnepr" killed two and seriously and injured a citizen), the referendum was held. Donbass residents exercised their right to self-determination.

KCNA COMMENTARY ON OBAMA'S S. KOREA VISIT
Pyongyang, April 29 (KCNA) -- U.S. President Obama visited south Korea on April 25-26.
Early in April, an official for East Asian and Pacific affairs at the U.S. State Department claimed, to justify Obama's Asia visit, that there should be no doubt about the U.S. commitment to protecting its Asian allies. Then, was his visit prompted by a good intention for regional peace? It's not at all.
Obama's recent junket to south Korea is censured as a crime because it egged on the treacherous Park Geun Hye regime to aggravate the unstable situation of the Korean Peninsula and the region.
This visit, the fourth after the emergence of his administration, is bringing dark clouds of conflict and nuclear arms race to the region, as part of the implementation of the U.S. pivot to Asia-Pacific strategy.
Its reactionary purpose was fully revealed by Obama's remarks that the U.S. would cooperate with its allies and partners to tighten the pressure on the DPRK.
During his junket, he had confabs to further strengthen the U.S- Japan-south Korea cooperation under the pretext of "threat" from the DPRK. The keynote of confabs was that the three parties would continue intensifying their political, diplomatic and military cooperation and deepen their "alliance" in aspects of joint military exercises and missile defense.
Obama also inspected the U.S.-south Korea "Combined Forces Command" in Ryongsan, Seoul, with Park. It was the first time for the U.S. president to visit the "command" since its birth in 1978. During the inspection, he said the U.S. would not hesitate to use the military strength in order to defend its allies and the way of its life, and called for the "powerful U.S.-south Korea combined defense capability".
His assertion is little different from an awful logic that a gangster protects the owner of a house.
Nevertheless, Park, a witch, was engaged in confrontation with the fellow countrymen, slandering the DPRK more viciously than her master, Obama.
At the "summit" and "joint press conference", she took issue with the DPRK over its nuclear deterrence with the assertion that the "line of simultaneously pushing forward economic construction and the building of nuclear force would be bound to failure", keeping mum about the U.S. nukes.
She even went the length of crying out that Obama's trip to south Korea would be a "resolute message to the north's provocation", calling on its neighboring countries to take stronger measure against it.
The U.S. made a "promise" to reexamine the period of transfer of wartime operation control, scheduled to be expired by late 2015, in the plea of jointly countering "threat" from the DPRK as demanded by the south Korean puppets.
The south Korean puppets asked the U.S. to further postpone the period, talking about what they called "security environment".
Such disgraceful behavior of Park Geun Hye in league with the outside forces is a treachery that declared the all-out confrontation with the fellow countrymen in the north while disregarding the opportunity presented by the nation.
Park is doomed to the same miserable destiny met by the "Yusin" dictator.
The U.S. and the south Korean puppets can never evade the blame for the serious consequences to be entailed by their anti-DPRK plot laid with Obama's trip as an occasion.

MONSTROUS CRIMES COMMITTED BY U.S. AGAINST KOREANS BLASTED
Pyongyang, May 5 (KCNA) -- The Central Committee of the Democratic Front for the Reunification of Korea and the North Headquarters of the Nationwide Special Committee for Probing the Truth behind GIs' Massacres on Monday released a memorandum disclosing the monstrous crimes and hideous human rights abuses perpetrated by the U.S. against the Korean nation for a long period.
According to it, the U.S. launched its aggression against Korea by infiltrating its aggressor ship General Sherman in 1866. This was followed by its ceaseless plunder and invasion by its Shenandoah and other warships in 1867, 1868 and 1871.
Finding it hard to attain its aggressive purpose due to resistance of the Korean people, the U.S. sided with Japan during the 1894-1895 Sino-Japanese War and 1904-1905 Russo-Japanese War, openly supporting Japan's aggression of Korea. In 1905 the U.S. concluded the "Katsura-Taft Treaty" which recognized Japan's occupation of Korea, using it as a shock brigade for invading Korea.
After occupying south Korea under the mask of "liberator" in September of 1945, the U.S. started its bestial atrocities against the Korean nation.
It openly revealed its ambition for aggression of the DPRK and finally launched invasion of the DPRK on June 25, 1950.
The U.S. suffered a disgraceful defeat in the Korean war but has fully turned south Korea into its colony and a tundra of human rights, keeping it under its occupation since the post-war period.
It massively introduced all types of WMDs including nukes, turning south Korea into the world's biggest nuclear arsenal.
It has staged ceaseless dangerous nuclear war drills for decades, posing constant danger of nuclear disaster to the Korean nation.
The U.S. imperialists have committed unheard-of monstrous massacres of Koreans since they launched aggression against Korea.
The U.S. imperialist aggressors killed Koreans by the cruelest and most brutal methods baffling human imagination during the Korean war.
During the Korean war, they killed at least 1.23 million people in the northern half of Korea and more than 1.24 million in south Korea.
They committed sexual abuses against Korean women to satisfy their carnal desire and mercilessly killed them even in the vortex of the war.
They committed hair-raising atrocities against many innocent people, lording it over south Korea after the war.
There occurred ceaseless GI crimes last year alone. To cite just a few examples, GIs gang-raped a woman in her twenties on a subway electric car, GIs made shooting spree against passers-by in the center of Seoul, driving their car over a local policeman before taking to flight and a drunken GI drove his car at breakneck speed, causing a traffic accident, and beat the victim who chased him.
The U.S. imperialists perpetrated barbarous air raids during the Korean war, massacring Koreans and reducing the country to ashes.
The flying corps of their air force made 800 000 sorties and those of their marines and navy over 250 000 sorties against the northern half of Korea in the entire period of the war. They dropped bombs and napalm bombs totaling almost 600 000 tons or 3.7 times those dropped over the Japan proper during the Pacific war.
Due to the U.S. barbarous air raids perpetrated during the Korean war 50 941 industrial establishments, 28 632 buildings of schools at all levels, 4 534 buildings of healthcare facilities including hospitals and clinics, 579 buildings of scientific research institutes, 8 163 buildings of media and cultural institutions and 2 077 226 dwelling houses were severely destroyed, 563 755 hectares of farmland devastated and 155 500 hectares of paddy and non-paddy fields decreased.
Environment was also seriously polluted due to the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces' several decades-long presence in south Korea.
The U.S. has desperately obstructed the reunification of Korea, blocked the independent development of the Korean nation and stood in the way of achieving its peace and prosperity.
The human and material damage done to the Korean nation by the U.S. aggression and crimes against humanity amounts to at least 114 trillion U.S. dollars.
The U.S. has committed too many crimes against the Korean nation to count for more than a hundred years, the memorandum said, adding there is no such country of barbarians in the world as the U.S.
The Korean nation will certainly settle accounts with the U.S., the sworn enemy, it warned.
============================
BOURGEOIS "INDEPENDENCE" IS BONDAGE FOR WORKING PEOPLE
Ideology, Economics, Politics
On June 12, the entire Russian bourgeoisie celebrates its main festival, the day of the destruction of the Soviet Union. Namely on that day the "Declaration of State Sovereignty of the Russian Federation" was signed. Calling this "holiday" Independence Day, the country's ruling criminal "elite" cynically distorts historical facts to serve their needs and interests.
The USSR was dependent on noone. Our Soviet Motherland was fully independent in matters of foreign and domestic policy, not only provided all the necessary own citizens, but also assisted the allies in the socialist camp. Only in such a state can workers and peasants be truly free. True independence - from external loans policy of other states, etc. - our country found only with the establishment of Soviet power.
Gorbachev, Yeltsin, and their henchmen, committing a counterrevolutionary coup and establishing the dictatorship of the big bourgeoisie, made all workers fully "independent" - from the state. Now the only duty of workers is to bring profit to their masters, and the only right – to sell oneself to somehow survive.
Bourgeois "independence", whose arrival is diligently celebrated in Russia every year, has turned into the brutal exploitation of workers without any guarantees for the future. Thousands of fired workers each year annually, the closure and looting of hundreds of companies together with exorbitant price rises that has made wealth virtually inaccessible to those whose hands they are made with. That's what the advertised bourgeois "independence" is truly all about.
Only Soviet power made people truly free and independent, while giving an irreplaceable sense of stability and confidence in the future. In the field of international politics, bourgeois authorities of the Russian Federation do only what is beneficial to the imperialist government of the United States and financial corporations. Hence the massive withdrawal of military bases from the once friendly countries (Cuba, Vietnam, CIS), a fierce attack on the leadership of the DPRK on the nuclear issue, endless flirtation with Ukrainian fascist junta and, in fact, condoning her crimes against the insurgent people of Donbass, etc. Only a socialist state can be truly independent in its domestic and foreign policy.
That is why workers have absolutely nothing to celebrate today. "Independence" of bourgeois police –state Russian Federation is ephemeral, it exists for a handful of rich in power. This is their independence from their conscience, from the law and from the courts. And for the average citizen of his country, not having a few stolen millions of dollars at their disposal, it has long become a bondage from which there is no way out except from a socialist revolution. For only a revolution will return independence to Russia and all its citizens, disadvantaged by the new authorities. It is therefore essential to organize and prepare for the accomplishment of a proletarian revolution.
DOWN WITH FALSE BOURGEOIS "INDEPENDENCE"!
LONG LIVE THE COMING SOCIALIST REVOLUTION!
FOR A GENUINELY INDEPENDENT, SOVIET RUSSIA!

In this regard the DPRK side demanded the south Korean authorities send three distressed crewmen of the DPRK and their fishing boat back immediately.
But the south Korean authorities repatriated one crewman only via Panmunjom and unreasonably held two crewmen in custody, asserting "they expressed their will to defect" and the like”.
It is an intolerable human rights violation on the part of the south Korean fascist puppets to hold two sailor of the DPRK in custody and refuse to let them meet representatives of the
DPRK. It does look like a trick of the south Korean puppet reactionaries to kidnap people from the DPRK and make it look like a defection.
Our organisations, the ASSPUK, JISGE and UK KFA, demand the south Korean
authorities return the DPRK sailors to the DPRK, their homeland.
