Our opinion on the Ukraine

1 Our opinion on the Ukraine January 1, 2017 The Ukraine lies at the dangerous interface of the expansionism of the Western and Eastern imperialism. The crimes of today's Russian imperialists in the Ukraine have nothing to do with the Soviet Union of Lenin and Stalin, which defeated Hitler fascism. Today, Russia is itself a fascist-imperialist country that differs not essentially from Hitler, in whose footsteps - in turn - follows today's Western imperialism. The only solution is the overthrow of world imperialism by means of the socialist world revolution. In Ukraine, still rules the bourgeoisie. And after the Russian henchmen were overthrown in Kiev, now the Western stooges have taken over political power. The bourgeoisie is still owner of the means of production. In this revolutionary situation, now that the Ukrainian bourgeoisie is weakened by the rivalry of the Eastern and Western imperialism, it is necessary to overthrow the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie by the armed socialist revolution under the leadership of the proletariat. The Ukrainian people, who has been fighting for its liberation in Kiev, must now continue and finish its revolution with a victory. This is only possible through the socialist revolution under the leadership of the Ukrainian working class. The goal is the re-establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat, the creation of peasant-workers 'and soldiers' soviets, the reconstruction of socialism in the spirit of Lenin and Stalin.

2 In the interest of the socialist world revolution, in the former Soviet Union of Lenin and Stalin, as in the Ukraine, we support every movement directed against imperialism, especially against Russian and Western imperialism. This struggle against Russian imperialism must be further developed without forgetting the intensified struggle against the machinations of Western imperialism and its fascist crimes against the Ukrainian working class, without diminishing the revolutionary struggle against the reactionary Ukrainian bourgeoisie. Important is our clear position in continuation of the correct struggle of comrade Enver Hoxha against both the super powers, USA and Russian social-imperialism. Especially, we draw our demarcation-line against the social-fascists in the Ukraine and Russia and against those international social-fascist organisations which openly and hiddenly support Russian imperialism as an alleged "anti-fascist, anti-imperialist force". What is the attitude of the Comintern (SH) in the Ukrainian question? We take the internationalist attitude of the 5 classics of Marxism-Leninism, while the neorevisionists, especially those in the former Soviet Socialist Republics of Lenin and Stalin, occupy a bourgeois-nationalist attitude which is directed against Stalinism-Hoxhaism. This is incompatible with the attitude of the Comintern (SH). What is the essence of neo-revisionism in the question of reestablishing socialism in the former socialist countries? The neo-revisionism in the question of the reestablishment of socialism in the former socialist countries - that is the "peaceful transition" from the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie to the dictatorship of the proletariat. "Reconstruction of the dictatorship of the proletariat" in words and maintaining the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie in deeds - this is the present physiognomy of neo-revisionism in the former socialist countries. As regards Russian imperialism in particular, the Russian neo-revisionists are "for" the reestablishment of the Soviet Union of Lenin and Stalin in words, but in deeds they are working on the restoration of social-imperialism for the purpose to save the rule of the Russian imperialism. And neo-revisionism concerning the national question? In the national question, the neo-revisionists are only "proletarian internationalists" in words, while in deeds they are bourgeois nationalists and chauvinists. In words, the neo-revisionists defend "the interests of the national unity of the Ukrainian people", while they are in fact lackeys of the division of the Ukrainian nation for the purpose of its annexation by Western and Russian imperialism. Stalin teaches: "The principle of international unification of the workers is an indispensable point in the solution of the national question." (Stalin, Works, vol. 2, pages , German edition) Only the revolutionary Ukrainian proletariat, only a Stalinist-Hoxhaist national liberation army, led by the Ukrainian Section of the Comintern (SH), can restore the national unity of the Ukrainian people, the Ukraine can get rid of the yoke of capitalism and be liberated

3 from imperialist slavery. Only by means of the socialist revolution can the dictatorship of the proletariat be re-established and socialism restored. The neo-revisionists are enemies of the working class, are enemies of the socialist revolution, are enemies of the national interests of the Ukrainian working class and the Ukrainian people. Today, two counter-revolutionary world armies are facing each other in Ukraine. Neither is the Ukrainian army a revolutionary liberation arm of the Ukrainian people, nor is today's Russian army the Red Army of Lenin and Stalin, which protects Ukraine against Western imperialism. Both armies are not proletarian armies, but bourgeois armies of capitalism, commanded by two world imperialist powers-of Western imperialism and Russian imperialism - ready to spark the Third World War. With the present counter-revolutionary, imperialist army one can not rebuild a Soviet Union of Lenin and Stalin. Only the Neo revisionists preach to believe in this fairy tale. In the military question, the Comintern (SH) is of the opinion that socialism can only be restored by means of a revolutionary proletarian army which follows the orders of the Comintern (SH). The military victory for the reestablishment of the Soviet Union of Lenin and Stalin is based on a proletarian army which breaks down all the social and national barriers established with the restoration of capitalism. In order to restore the Soviet Union of Lenin and Stalin, a proletarian army is needed, in which the proletarians of all the former Soviet peoples have joined. As a result of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, nationalism flourished in the individual former Soviet republics, especially in the Ukraine. In the Ukraine, the descendants of Ukrainian nationalists and fascists celebrate their rebirth. In the Ukraine a fascist regime is in power, supported by descendants of the fascist "Ukrainian Legion", "Galicia", "Nachtigall Bataillon", "Roland Batallion", "Ostlegion" etc. The anti-fascist and anti-imperialist resistance of the population, especially in the Eastern Ukraine, against the ruling clique in Kiev, was cleverly exploited by the Russian imperialists and served as a justification for their military action of annexation. You can not be an upright anti-fascist if you fight Fascism in other countries, but not in your own country. A Russian anti-fascist can not be a real fighter against Ukrainian fascism if he does not fight Fascism in Russia, that is, in his own country. This is the only correct internationalist attitude of the Comintern (SH) in the anti-fascist question, which is fundamentally different from all "communist" organizations in Russia. One can not rebuild a Soviet Union of Lenin and Stalin without overthrowing the Russian fascist rule in the socialist revolution. The hatred of many Ukrainian people is directed against Russian imperialism and not against the Soviet Union of Lenin and Stalin. And the hatred of many Russian people is not directed against the Ukrainian people, but against the fascist regime in Ukraine. Many people in Russia and the Ukraine sympathize with the reestablishment of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Ukraine. It is only the fascist rulers in Kiev and Moscow who stir up racial and national hatred between the Russian and Ukrainian people. Crimea

4 As far as the Crimea is concerned, it is an undisputed historical fact that the Crimean was not originally inhabited by Russians, but many other peoples. Countless bloody wars of diverse great powers were waged in Crimean for centuries (especially the Crimean War in the 19th century). The history of the Crimean population is a history of the expulsions of diverse peoples and resettlements of other peoples. And it is a historical fact that the Crimea was annexed by the Tsar empire. After the Socialist Great October Revolution, in 1921, the Crimea was proclaimed as the Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (ASRR). During the Great Patriotic War, the Red Army threw the fascist Hitler troops into the Black Sea and liberated the Crimea in May 1944.At Stalin's invitation, the Crimea Conference was held from February 4 to 11, 1945 for planning the re-construction of a future peaceful and anti-fascist Europe. After the Great Patriotic War, the Crimea was integrated into the Russian Socialist Federal Soviet Republic (RSFSR). The integration of the Crimea in Ukraine was not initiated until 1954 by the Soviet revisionist Nikita Khrushchev, namely without the consent of the Supreme Soviet and expressively against the will of the Crimea. In the Crimea, more and more Russians came, who now constitute the majority of the population which consists of many different ethnic people. Most of the Russian inhabitants have followed the appeal: "Back to the Russian Empire". The independence efforts of the Crimean inhabitants are neither in the interests of Kiev nor of Moscow. That is why most of the Crimeans have no illusions about the Kiev domination and have also no illusions about the imperialist Putin regime. They know that they have come from the rain into the eaves and that their capitalist enslavement in the Crimea will continue to increase, no matter whether under the rule of the capitalist West or the capitalist East. We are of the opinion that only the Crimea has the right to determine its own future, and no one else. We are for a socialist Crimea in a restored Soviet Union of Lenin and Stalin, which destroys the nationalistic banner of the bourgeoisie and raises the proletarian banner of Internationalism. We are neither for the exploitation and suppression of the Crimea by the Ukrainian (and Western) bourgeoisie nor by the Russian bourgeoisie. In the latter case, this means strengthening the influence of Russian imperialism. In the first case, this means a strengthening of the Ukrainian bourgeoisie and thus of Western imperialism. Both means evil for Crimean people, and does not find our approval. The population of the Crimea is neither free under the rule of the Ukrainian bourgeoisie nor under the rule of the Russian bourgeoisie. Decisive for the Comintern (SH) is the solution of the class question. Those who want to free themselves from national oppression must free themselves above all from capitalism. This is an iron principle of Marxism-Leninism. We Communists say that if you want to solve the problems of your national boundaries, you must first tear down the social boundaries. Those kind of "Self-determination," which was agreed with Russian imperialists, we call assimilation or simply expressed: annexation. We must never forget that, in history, the Russian imperialists always air themselves as the "defenders" of the people in the border areas, namely for the purpose to easier annex them. This is also the case today with the Crimea. The working class does not support imperialist Putin treaties, but rips them. Russian imperialism has only as much interest in the Crimea as the Crimea serves the satisfaction of its imperialist goals.

5 Marxism-Leninism teaches: The national question is subordinated to the social question. The struggle for independence serves the working class as a lever of the socialist revolution but cannot replace the necessity of the socialist revolution. The contradiction between the working class and the bourgeoisie prevails not only in Ukraine, not only in Russia, but also in the Crimea. The population of the Crimea must fight both against its enslavement by the imperialist West and that of imperialist Russia. Hoxhaism has proved that even the smallest country can build socialism - despite imperialist-revisionist orbiting. From this, the peoples of the former Soviet republics can also draw lessons. However, this requires the anchoring of the communists in the masses, the leadership of the Communist Party, etc.,..., thus all those conditions as they were fulfilled in Albania. What is the task of the Crimean population? It may neither creep under the protective shield of the Western nor the Russian imperialimus. It must assert its independence against both imperialist world powers, especially against the Russian imperialism, which now prevails in the Crimea. Above all, we are in favor of the peaceful and friendly relations of the various nationalities in the Crimea, against stir up nationalist-rascist hatred, and against the great-power chauvinism of Russian imperialism. In general, the working class of the former Soviet republics must join the internationalist united front of the world proletariat against world imperialism, and in particular, create a revolutionary united front against Russian imperialism. The elimination of national oppression is inconceivable without the break with world imperialism, without the overthrow of the bourgeoisie in one's own country, without the socialist revolution. The October revolution has taught that it had to win first in the center of Russia, and then to extend to the border regions. Today globalized conditions of world imperialism prevail and thus consequently for the globalized centralization of its revolutionary overthrow. In spite of all the demoralization and tendencies of embourgeoisement, despite the influence of the great-power-chauvinism, the Russian proletariat was and still is the most advanced driving force of the revolutionary unification of the working class in the other former Soviet Republics. The Russian proletariat has to be aware of its historical determination, namely to play a leading role in the reconstruction of the Soviet Union of Lenin and Stalin, and be guided by the internationalist spirit October revolution. The founding of the Russian Section of the Comintern (SH) will therefore be of crucial importance. The solution of the national problem always depends on the solution of the social question, for only with the help of the socialist revolution can the working class free itself from capitalist rule, and consequently also from national oppression. What is the solution in the Ukraine question? For us there is no solution other than that of Lenin and Stalin. We Communists do not want a division of nations and nationalities, but on the contrary, their union and fusion. Separation for the purpose of unification - that is the dialectic of Marxism-Leninism in the national question. This means nothing else but the restoration of the Soviet Union of Lenin and Stalin. In particular, we follow Stalin's national policy, which served not only the construction of socialism in all Soviet republics, but paved the way towards the future

6 construction of world socialism. The union of Ukraine was the merit of the Bolsheviks under Lenin and Stalin. And we owe it to Stalin that he freed the Ukraine from the claws of the Hitler Fascists. Socialism in Ukraine, as well as its defense, would have been impossible without the Soviet Union of Lenin and Stalin. If, therefore, we want to restore a socialist Ukraine, after the model of Lenin and Stalin, we must implement the teachings of Lenin and Stalin under today's conditions, and be guided by them. We must defeat both the Ukrainian bourgeois nationalism and Russian great-power-chauvinism. What do we want? We want a socialist Ukraine as the socialist Soviet republic of the reestablished Soviet Union of Lenin and Stalin. We want a Ukraine of the Soviet Union within the World Unions of the Soviet Socialist Republics. We want the union of the dictatorship of the Ukrainian and Russian proletariat as an integral part of the dictatorship of the world proletariat. And the road to this goal is the socialist revolution in Ukraine and Russia, is the socialist world revolution. That is why we need the founding of the Sections of the Comintern (SH) all over the world, including in the Ukraine and Russia, to prepare and lead the socialist revolution in all countries of the world. All other questions are subordinated. This is the only correct Stalinist-Hoxhaist position of the Comintern (SH) to solve the Ukrainian question. Stalin teaches: "Liberated from their 'own' and 'foreign' bourgeoisie, the national Soviet republics can only assert their existence and conquer the united forces of imperialism only if they are united to form a federation, or they will not be victorious at all." (Stalin, works volume 5, February 10, 1921) This is true not only of the reestablishment of the Soviet Union of Lenin and Stalin, but also on a world scale for the future World Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics. The reestablishment of the Soviet Union of Lenin and Stalin is of international importance for the overthrow of world imperialism and the establishment of the dictatorship of the world proletariat and vice versa. The Ukrainian people will only be free under the leadership of the working class and its vanguard, the Ukrainian Section of the Comintern (SH): namely with revolutionary weapons in their hands; creation of a Workers' and Peasants Red Army along the lines of Lenin and Stalin; revolutionary war against the imperialist war; expulsion of both the Western and (!) of the Eastern imperialist occupiers away from Ukrainian soil; disarming the bourgeoisie and her fascist and (!) social-fascist lackeys; smashing the capitalist state of the exploiters and oppressors through the socialist revolution; restoration of a united, independent, socialist Ukrainian Soviet republic along the lines of Lenin and Stalin; Reestablishment of the Ukrainian dictatorship of the proletariat; expropriation of the capitalists; re-establishment of the Stalinist constitution; socialization of the means of production; construction of socialism, etc, etc...

FOR THE RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE UKRANIAN STALINIST CONSTITUTION OF 1937!

9 Platform of revolutionary action Ukrainian Section of the Comintern (SH) In this most dangerous historical moment of Ukraine, caused by the outbreak of the contradictions between the internal and external exploiters, the Ukrainian people are forced to seize the opportunity for implementing the following revolutionary actions: 1 Immediate cancellation of all foreign treaties and obligations by which the Ukranian people are exploited and oppressed. Crush both apparatuses of Western and Eastern oppression. The Ukrainian proletariat establishes the dictatorship of the proletariat and creates its own revolutionary institutions. Crush the capitalist Ukrainian state and replace it by the socialist one. Establish the armed Ukranian Soviet system of workers, peasants and soldiers. All power to the Ukrainian soviets! All parties - responsable for the betrayal at the interests of the Ukrainian people - will be forbidden and all - open and hidden - enemies of the people will be brought to justice. 2 Disarm all Ukrainian counter-revolutionary forces of police and army. Establish the Ukranian Red Army and a red people's Militia. All military means will be confiscated for the defense against aggressive imperialist encirclement. 3 Cancel all foreign debts without compensation. Confiscate and socialize the banks and all financial capital, all means of production, all private property of the foreign capitalists and that of the Ukrainian bourgeoisie. The dictatorship of the Ukrainian proletariat creates its own state instruments to

10 execute and implement measures that are needed to remove the exploitation of men by men. 4 Remove unemployment and liberation from wage slavery Eliminate the anarchy of Ukrainian capitalist economy, the quest for maximum profit, speculation, the corruptions etc., with all its negative consequences for the poor people and all the damage and destruction caused by the present capitalist crisis in Ukraine. All employees take in their hands the organization of Ukrainian production to build their own socialist economy. Establish an own Ukrainian socialist market for the self-sufficiency of the Ukrainian people - (access forbidden for all capitalists). Set up an own independent monetary system in Ukrainia. Eliminate the scum of the Ukrainian Mafia, tax collectors, as well as all the "tycoons", moneylenders and speculators - in short: get rid of all kinds of capitalist parasites, oligarchs etc.. 5 Release agriculture from capitalist relations of production and successively transform agricultural production and distribution into the hands of the socialist State of Ukrainia. Large multinationals are nationalized while small and mediumsized production units will be organized in farm cooperatives. 6 The pooling of basic public supplies for all workers, women, children and elder people will be ensured. The class system of capitalist medicine that divides patients into poor and rich will be abolished. Free medical supply for all Ukrainian people. Public budgets in Ukrainia will be consolidated and controlled by the people themselves in a socialist way. Public services such as libraries, cinemas, etc., or even public traffic services will be available to everyone and they will be free of cost. 7 Implementation of the principles of proletarian internationalism. The socialist Ukrainia will do its duty as basis and lever of the socialist revolution in the neighbor countries in particular, and of the socialist world revolution, in general. And vice versa, the workers of the neighbor countries and the whole world proletariat support and defend socialist Ukrainia against every attempt of imperialist occupation and interference in its souvereign affairs. The Ukrainian proletariat at power struggles for the re-establishment of the Soviet Union of Lenin and Stalin in a socialist world. 8 The victorious finals of an armed surrection in Ukrainia requires its careful planning

11 (inclusively the well-organized retreat), avoiding of serious military-political errors, convincing the soldiers of the counter-revolutioanry army of turning round the rifles, the organized participation of the broad proletarian masses, the integration of allied forces such as the poor peasantry and the progressive elements of the pettybourgeoisie, the systematic embedding of local uprisings into a centralized, nationwide revolution. The crucial question is generally: At a certain point and to a certain time, the revolutionary forces must succeed in dominating over the counterrevolutionary forces, otherwise uprisings are doomed to the defeat. None of all these revolutionary actions above will be achieved without the foundation and strengthening of the Ukrainian Sections of the Comintern (SH). The proletarian ideology of the 5 Classics of Marxism-Leninism, proletarian internationalism, Bolshevism, the hegemony of the proletariat through its vanguard of the International Communist (Stalinist-Hoxhaist) - form the cornerstone of the policy of the Ukrainian Section of the Comintern (SH). Comintern (SH)
