A new campaign against Russia: what links the special operation and the Battle of Neva
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.by Evgeniy Tsots [REGNUM] Russia, as in the Battle of the Neva in 1240, delivered a preemptive blow to the West. The events taking place in the world say that the West is conducting a new attack on Russia. There were many of them in history, and one of the first among those recorded for posterity ended exactly 782 years ago with the Battle of the Neva. Russian troops, commanded by Prince Alexander Nevsky, defeated the Swedish invaders on July 15, 1240, inflicting a preemptive strike on them.  Over the past almost eight centuries, the West has changed its face more than once, turning into the Teutonic Order, Sweden, the Commonwealth, the Empire of Napoleon, the Third Reich or NATO, but each time it had a single goal - the weakening of Russia and its dismemberment. The reason is known and has been called openly more than once: our country has too much territory and too many resources for one country.
The current leader of the country, Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about the heroism of our ancestors and their devotion to their Fatherland . One of the first in the list of defenders of the country, he called the Grand Duke Alexander Nevsky. "We love our beloved Motherland just as Alexander Nevsky and Peter the Great loved it, defended by Generalissimo Alexander Suvorov and Admiral Fyodor Ushakov, commanders Kutuzov and Bagration, Red Army soldier Alexander Matrosov and Captain Nikolai Gastello, Major Roman Filippov and Senior Lieutenant Nurmagomed Gadzhimagomedov and many, many others," Putin said at the end of June at a meeting with graduates of military universities. Is it possible to compare the distant times of the Neva battle with the present? There are parallels that point directly to this. Both then and now, the West sought to make the peoples living along its borders hostile to Russia. At the beginning of the 13th century, the Swedes and Germans seized the border territories to the Karelian, Finnish, Baltic and Slavic tribes and wanted to baptize the neighbors of the Novgorod Republic into the Catholic faith. Thus, the peoples fell into the sphere of influence of the West and were included in the confrontation with Russia. The modern West has planted Russophobia in the countries surrounding Russia, and also expanded the NATO bloc to the east. The battering ram in his strategy was Ukraine, where Western ideologists and political technologists built “anti-Russia” based on old Polish and Austrian developments. The West pumped Kyiv with weapons from the warehouses of Eastern European countries, launched a network of biolaboratories and even planned Ukraine's refusal of a nuclear-free status. Another circumstance is the obvious confrontation between the West and Russia. Shortly before the Battle of the Neva, Pope Gregory IX set the task of subjugating and catholizing the tribes on the border with Russia in order to further subjugate the Russian principalities and convert them to Catholicism. The West tried to use the historical moment - the weakening of Russia due to the attack of the Horde. An analogue of NATO in those years was the union of Sweden and the Livonian Order (part of the Teutonic Order). Today, Russia is confronted by the North Atlantic Alliance, made up of the United States and its satellites. The bloc was originally created as anti-Soviet, and after the collapse of the USSR, contrary to agreements with the Soviet leadership, a number of states of the former socialist camp, including some republics of the Soviet Union, were included in its composition. The only goal of the bloc could be to advance to the borders of Russia. At the same time, long before the military operation in Ukraine, our country was openly indicated in NATO documents as the main threat. The danger to the Fatherland both then and now is so great that the Russian people see only one possibility for their salvation - to rally around the national leader. In the Novgorod Republic, the prince did not have full power and was dependent on the nobility, (Boyars) who could invite him or, conversely, drive him away. However, with the outbreak of hostilities, Alexander received the full support of both the boyars and ordinary residents. In addition to the princely squad, several detachments of the city nobility and the militia were gathered in Novgorod. The whole people united around the figure of Alexander Nevsky. With the start of the Russian special operation in Ukraine, sociological polls show a high level of awareness of national interests and confidence in the course of President Putin. Moreover, in addition to the data of sociologists, deeds speak about this. For example, the activity of volunteers who joined the army and signed a contract, the activities of volunteer groups, as well as numerous events and statements in support of the RF Armed Forces. Before the battle, Prince Alexander Nevsky gave the Russian army a parting word that has swept through the centuries and is relevant to this day: "God is not in power, but in truth." Russian soldiers defended their home and therefore were ready to confront the numerically superior Swedish army. Nevsky's words were changed and folded into a principle by Danila Bagrov from the movie "Brother", who declared that "the power is in truth." Russia sincerely tried to build partnerships with the West, each time being deceived and robbed. Events have come to a point where the desire of imaginary partners to put our country under the knife became obvious. And under the onslaught of information pressure and foreign propaganda, Russian society withstands the blow, focusing on the truth. Another sign of equality between the events of one millennium puts military skill, the skills of which warriors show on the battlefield. The Novgorod army of Nevsky was able to deliver a preemptive strike, since the prince had intelligence on the movement of the Swedish army. As a result, the losses of the Swedes many times exceeded the losses of the Russians. In the course of a special operation, the Russian Armed Forces develop the offensive throughout all hostilities, using the tactics of "small boilers", cutting off the enemy's path to supplies and reserves. The nationalists are surrounded by the sheer superiority of Russian firepower and overwhelmed by the impossibility of a counteroffensive. Russian lands for the West have always seemed a source of enrichment. In the Novgorod Republic, the main resource for the Pope, the Swedes and Germans were people who conducted economic activities and paid taxes. It was the taxes of newly converted Catholics that served as bait for the troops. Now the West's key interest lies in the natural resources that Russia is rich in.
And, finally, another circumstance that allows not only to draw parallels with the events of 1240, but also inspires optimism, was the fact of a preemptive strike. Intelligence of Alexander Nevsky collected enough information about the Swedes for a surprise attack. As a result, she predetermined the course of events and ensured the victory of the Russian army. In Ukraine, NATO forces prepared a springboard for unleashing a war between the West and Russia. However, the start of a special military operation was the same preemptive strike that took the enemy by surprise. Most of the stocks of prepared weapons were destroyed in the first weeks of hostilities, the military infrastructure was damaged. As a result, the West has lost the initiative and can no longer count on a military victory. Posted by: badanov 2022-07-16 |
