“we have every reason to affirm that Ukraine is an artificial state that was shaped at Stalin’s will, » Putin explained. Putin’s reasoning is clearly false because it is not the will of only one man that the current states were shaped but the history and by the wars and geopolitics. In the case of the present NATO’s proxy war in Ukraine, it is unthinkable that Stalin would passively observe NATO’s expansion eastwards since 2004 and particularly since the neo coup in Kiev in 2014 without counteracting and pushing away the continuing progress of the western hostile forces near the Russian borders. It is unthinkable that Stalin would blindly trust the West and await 8 years before discovering that Russia has been lured and deceived by the Mink agreements used by the West as stratagem to allow Kiev regime to build fortifications and to kill 14000 Russian speaking people in Donbass. It is unthinkable that Stalin should tolerate the establishment of neo nazi regime in kiev without doing something to get rid of. We can say without contradicting oneself that not only Ukraine is an artificial state but all the states composing currently the United nations are artificial states too. Crimea and Moldavia(ex Bessarabia) were part of the Ottoman empire and they have been annexed by Tsarist Russia following continuing wars between these two empires. If we follow Putin’s reasoning one can say that Crimea and Moldavia should be returned to Turkey. Poland disappeared twice from the map before its reborn in the beginning of the XX century. The United states is a artificial state as a major part of its territory was former Spanish colonies. African, the Balkan and the Middle east states are artificial states too. The current European states were shaped by Napoleon’s wars. The French Alsace and Lorraine should be returned to the current Germany and Austria because they were part of the holy Germanic Empire. Corsica was taken by Napoleon from Genoa and all French southern regions were part of Catalonia annexed by the wars. All Latin American states were shaped by the Spanish colonization. That is why Putin’s reasoning about the making of Ukraine by the will of only one man so called is clearly false provoked by what Michael Parenti called the “Anti communist Impulse”

The Nazi-soviet Pacts : Stalin and Molotov’s geopolitcal masterpiece
The 1939 Nazi-Soviet pacts were concluded on August 23 between Nazi Germany and the USSR. The Nazi-Soviet pacts include two parts : the Non-Aggression Treaty and the Secret Protocol. The Non-Aggression Tretay bound the parties : (1) to « desist from any act of violence any aggressive action and any attack on each other either individually or jointly with other powers ; (2) to give no aid to any belligerent enemy of the other; (3) to maintain « continual contact » for consultation about « problems » affecting their common interest » ; (4) not to take part even indirectly in any grouping hostile to either ; and (5) to settle any disputes or conflicts by friendly exchange or through arbitration commissions.
the Secret Protocol named the northern boundary of Lithuania as the line between » the spheres of influence of Germany and the U.S.S.R » Through Poland the line ran along the rivers Narew, Vistula and San. In south-eastern Europe, the soviets called attention to its interest in Bessarabia and the German side declares its full political disinterestedness in these areas.. The text of this last article is important because of later disagreement between the two parties over South-eastern Europe.
the both sides regarded the pact as a purely temporary arrangement before coming together. When the Munich men, the British and French leaders discovered belatedly the soviet Pact they were furious and in a rage, because all their efforts made during the five-year appeasement policy had flown to pieces. Hitler thought that it was not aware to leave the British and French in his rear while hi disposed of the Soviets. this deep suspicion was confirmed by his Pact with Soviets which obliged them to fight. the pact surpised them since they had hoped to neutralize Russia and even to destroy the Soviet regime at the hands of the Nazi Germany;
On September 3-4, 1939, Hitler invaded Poland and promptly and easily destroyed. At present Russia is not dangerous but no one can know how long it will remain so. in the meantime the partition of Poland had taken place without conflict between the soviets and Germans; After Hitler’s Blitzkrieg the German Government sent on September 3, 1939, an urgent telegraph requesting Russia to occupy her sphere of influence in Poland at once Molotov was surprised by the German speed and sought to avoid a joint announcement of Russia’s entry into the Polish struggle but agreed when Stalin’s draft was accepted;
Western « democracies » and fascism united against communism
Not only Western “democracies” and their hypocritical politicians permitted German rearmament but they also hugely assisted it. At the very least a secure bulwark against communism would be erected.” The sturdy young Nazis of Germany are Europe’s guardians against the Communist danger” said lord Rothermere in the daily Mail on November18, 1933 “Once Germany has acquired the additional territory she need s in Western Russia her need for expansion would be satisfied” This was the basic calculation upon which the whole structure of what we called appeasement policy in the interwar period was reared.
After the Second World War, western propaganda tried to disseminate in the public two clichés : (1) that the German –Soviet pact of August 23, 1939 was the cause of the second World War and (2) that that the Soviet Union was so avaricious that it over-reached itself with its partner in crime. These two clichés had been published by the state department in January 1948 under the title Nazi-soviet relations 1939-1941. These clichés had then been published in the press aiming at public delusions and by establishing associate ideas and, according to Pavlov theory, conditioned reflex between Hitler and Stalin. Hundreds of newspaper articles and radio speakers had inculcated these clichés to many millions of Americans without ever suggesting that the Nazi-soviet Pact was the result of the long and dismal appeasement drive on the part of the West. It was this propaganda which contributed to create mentally conditioned peoples in Europe and in United States without a fuller examination of the issues and consequences at stake. In that event Walter Lippmann wrote on February 12, 1948 “this publication is a classic example of bad propaganda bound to backfire that the state department book was the work of propagandists and not of scholars is self-evident on the face of it. It contained only Nazi documents and no self-respecting historian would dream of basing his judgment on the documents of only one side of a grave historical event. Moreover, only those Nazi documents were selected for publication which bore on Nazi-Soviet relations after April 1939 to embarrass our Western allies and ourselves by inviting the publication of docuements for the period up to the Munich appeasement is not astute indeed it is altogether incompetent – propaganda”
Black legend of stalinism : Stalin, statesman, strategist and geopolitical thinker
The black legend of Stalinism transforms the Soviet leader, Stalin into a monster and blood thirsty and his name evokes immediately that of Gulag, camps, purges and million victims of his regime. This black legend of Stalinism deliberately blacks out main distinctive features of Stalin’s personality as statesman, strategist and geopolitical thinker, who always reasoned in terms of security and strategic defense for his country as we will show below.
The Soviet Union suffered of the Allied interventions from 1918 to 1920 sparked and led from London and Paris. For at least years, Litvinov’s policy aiming at breathing life and vitality into the collective security system had unquestionably failed and only to be defeated at every turn; In each crisis that landmarked the European affairs during the decade 1929 to 1939 Ethiopia, Spain, the Rhineland, Austria and Czechoslovakia, where all the initiative and the collaboration of the Soviet Union had been spurned, either she had been ignored, left on one side or her efforts discarded. In the case of Ethiopia, the appeasement governments in London and Paris left Moscow alone in Geneva operating in a vacuum. At Munich conference, Russia was ignored, ostracized and thrown out bodily from any voice in European affairs. This marginalization of the Soviet government had been made under the pretext that Russia could not be trusted and that her assistance would not be worth much in any case. Decidedly, the force in France and Britain which were determined to work with the fascist and Nazi regimes were too strong to be easily unhorsed. The appeasement Governments in Paris and London deliberately planned to turn Hitler toward the East and into a war with Russia.
