When the USA, England and Japan will confess to Russia for the atrocities in intervention period of 1918-1922 years?

On December 3, 1917 the special conference with participation of the USA, England, France and allied to them the countries passed on which the decision on differentiation of zones of interests in territories of the former Russian Empire was made. The Caucasus and the South Russian areas were appointed as the zone of England influence, France — Ukraine and the Crimea.

The Americans took Siberia away, the Japanese wanted to catch a part of the Far East.

On August 1, 1918 the English armies landed in Vladivostok. In the same place the Americans landed within August. In August the Americans, Englishmen and Frenchmen occupied Arkhangelsk. Interventionists declared the martial law, entered the court-martials, during occupation they took out 2686 thousand poods of different cargoes for total amount over 950 million roubles of gold. All military, merchant and fishing fleet of the North became the production of interventionists. The American armies carried out the functions of chasteners. Over 50 thousand of the Soviet citizens (more than 10 % of all population under control) were thrown into prisons of Arkhangelsk, Murmansk, Pechenga, Yokanga. 8 thousand people were shot only in the Arkhangelsk provincial prison, 1020 died of hunger, cold and epidemics.

In Prtimorye the Americans created surprising acts in the brutality and Russky Island where these days the APEC summit passes, became the concentration camp where the captured were taken. There were also other camps of death where the Americans destroyed the local population, but the camp created on Russky Island existed most long - till October, 1922. Tortured people in camp were sunk near the island, separately and the whole barges, tying the hands a barbed wire.

There are evidences that after the completion of the intervention, one of the divers, working at the flooded objects on Russky Island, came across one of such barges in which “stood constrained people as live”. The diver went mad shocked by seen.

It is possible to find data on stay of the American military in the Far East in the book “Foreign interventionists in the Soviet Russia”, published in 1935, it is told about with what methods the Americans acted – the cut families, pregnant women whom they cut off breasts, took out the babies from stomachs, the hung-up five years' children.

Here are some fragments:
“There are the evidences in archives and newspaper publications of that time as the Yankee, having arrived at the other end of the world, managed a household, leaving a trail of blood in destinies of the Russian people and in the history of Primorye. So, for example, having grasped the peasants I.Gonevchuk, S. Gorshkov, P. Oparin and Z.Murashko, the Americans dug them alive for communication with local guerrillas. And made short work with the wife of guerrilla E.Boychuk as follows: stabbed all body through and drowned her in a rubbish pit. The peasant Bochkarev was maimed with bayonets and knifes beyond recognition: “the nose, lips, ears were cut off, the jaw was beaten out, the face and eyes were stabbed, all body was cut up”. The guerrilla N.Myasnikov was tortured by the same brutal way at Sviyagino station, under the evidence of the eyewitness, “firstly the ears were chopped off, then a nose, hands, feet, he was chopped alive on pieces”.

“In the spring of 1919 there was a retaliatory expedition of interventionists in the village, making punishment over those who was suspected of sympathy to guerrillas — testifies the inhabitant of the village Kharitonovka of the Shkotovo area A.Khortov. Chasteners arrested many peasants as hostages and demanded to give out the guerrillas, threatening with execution (…). The executioners - interventionists made short work furiously of the innocent peasants hostages. My old father Philippe Khortov was among them also. He was brought home in the blood-stained look. He was still live for some days, repeated all the time: “For what I was tortured, damned animals?!”. The father died, having left five orphans.

Several times the American soldiers appeared in our village and each time the arrests of inhabitants, robberies, murders were made. In the summer of 1919 the American chasteners suited a public flogging with ramrods and lashes of peasant Pavel Kuzikov. The American non-commissioned officer stood nearby and, smiling, took the pictures. Ivan Kravchuk and three more guys from Vladivostok were suspected in connection with guerrillas, they were tormented by some days. They knocked out them teeth, chopped off the languages”.

And here is other evidence: “Interventionists surrounded the Small Cape and opened storm fire on the village. Having learned that there were no guerrilla there, the Americans grew bolder, rushed into it, burned the school. They lashed brutally everyone who came them to hand. Peasant Cherevatov, as well as many other was carried away home blood-stained, fainted. Cruel oppressions were made by the American infantrymen in villages Knevichi, Krolevtsy and in other settlements. The American officer let out some bullets in the head of wounded fellow Vasily Shemyakin”.

And the general Graves ordering the American forwarding case, recognized subsequently: “we received messages on murders and tortures of men, women, children from those areas where there were the American armies…”

The colonel of army of the USA Morrow isn't less frank in the memoirs and, complaining that his poor creatures soldiers … “couldn't fall asleep, without having killed somebody this day (…) When our soldiers took the Russian prisoner, they brought them on Andriyanovka station where the cars unloaded, the captured brought to huge holes at which they were shot from machine guns”. “The most memorable" for colonel Morrow day was “when 1600 people delivered in 53 cars were shot”.

Certainly, the Americans weren't alone in these atrocities. The Japanese interventionists were not worse. So, for example, in January, 1919 the soldiers of the Country of the rising sun completely burned Sokhatino village and in February — Ivanovka village. Reporter Yamauti testified to it from the Japanese newspaper “Uradzio -Nippo”: “The village Ivanovka was surrounded. 60-70 yards of which it was consisted, were completely burned and her inhabitants, including women and children (totally 300 people) were seized. Some tried to take cover in the houses. And then these houses were set fire together with the people who were in them”.

Only for the first days of April, 1920 when Japanese suddenly broke the arrangement on a truce, they destroyed about 7 thousand people in Vladivostok, Spassk, Nikolsk-Ussuriisk and neighbouring settlements.

There are the photographic evidences of atrocities of the interventionists in archives of the Vladivostok museums who posing near the cut-off heads and stirred-up bodies of the Russians. However, our politicians (and many of them, alas, don't know it) don’t want to remember all this now.

The evidences of atrocities of interventionists were provided practically in all local newspapers of that time. So, “The Far East review” gave the following fact: “In Vladivostok The American patrol, laughing, looked at beating by Japanese soldiers of sailor Kupriyanov on Svetlanskaya Street. When the indignant passers-by rushed on revenue, the American patrol took him “under protection”. Soon it became known that the American “benefactors” shot Kupriyanov allegedly for resistance to patrol”.

Other American patrol attacked Ivan Bogdashevsky, “took money, stripped naked, beaten and threw into a hole. In two days he died”. On May 1, 1919 two drunk American soldiers attacked S. Komarovsky for the purpose of a robbery, but he managed to escape from robbers.

In Sedanka the 23-year-old citizen K. was brutally raped by the group of the American soldiers. The facts of violence over women and girls by stallions in the form of army of the USA repeatedly were registered and in other parts of Vladivostok and Primorye. Obviously, the American fighters were full of girls of easy behaviour whom then, as well as now, was much. By the way, one of “lady of pleasure”, who “awarded” several American “cowboys” with a bad illness, somehow was found killed on Prudovoya Street (where there is a cinema “Komsomolets” now) “with five revolving bullets in a body”.

Other evidence taken from the press: “At the beginning of July, passing on Svetlanskaya Street on the carrier, four drunk American soldiers, offended the passers-by. Passing by city duma, Voitsekhovsky, Sanarsky and other persons revolted with their behaviour, stopped the carrier. Drunk soldiers approached to Voitsekhovsky and cried in the Russian: “Why are you whistle, the Russian pig? Don’t you know, that today is the American holiday?”. One of soldiers set a revolver on Voitsekhovsky and another began to beat with a revolver to his face”.

The Americans already then tried to prove with cavalier, bestial manners to the world that America is above all! As the newspaper “Red banner” of December 25, 1920 testified, the drunk band of the American seamen came to the restaurant coffee house Kokina on Svetlanskaya street and began to disperse the playing billiards with rough abuse in the corrupted Russian language that to have a good time, to play one party or another …

Or here is other example from “The evening newspaper” of November 18, 1921. The five American sailors serving the radio station on Russky Island which interventionists grasped in 1918, arrived on a dancing-party to Radkevich's hall that on Podnozhie. Having drunk, they began “to behave defiantly”. And when the performance began, “sat down in the second row, and put the feet on backs of chairs of the first row” (where the Russian audience sat). Thus thу sailors said that “spit on all Russian including the Russian laws” and then began make a violent uproar”.

It is necessary to say that, judging by the remained evidences, the American fighters as regards the alcoholism, robberies and “obscenities in the relation to women whom the mean offers were made directly on streets” and also impudent, boorish behaviour to everything and everybody, already there were no equal. They could make, humbling in drunk intoxication, the causeless firing on crowded streets by a principle: I am not guilty who didn't hide! Without being confused at all that not guilty people die under their bullets. Brutally to beat the first comer and to be curious contents of his purse and pockets. The newspaper “Homeland Voice” of January 12, 1922 gave quite concrete name: “The American savages have a good time”.

P.S. Recently I needed to prepare a small plot about intervention of Russia in civil war between the North and the South of the USA, occurring for some decades prior to the beginning of civil war in Russia. Then the Russian state was at peak of the power and sovereign Alexander II sent two squadrons to coast of America, having designated the Russian presence both in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans and calculation was not that the Russian military will take part in fights, but that their presence will damp down the enthusiasm of Englishmen who intended to enter the war against Lincoln (on the party of slaveholding states, certainly).

Calculation of the Russian tsar came true, the war didn't become long and bloody, intervention of Englishmen wasn't developed (England didn't decide, that time to throw down a challenge to the Russian fleet as by this moment Russia, more than ever, strengthened the fleet: instead of wooden battle ships constructed the metal frigates, one of them was the battleship “Peter the Great” was considered at that time as one of the best military ships in the world, surpassed the English vessels in many parameters (though the strengthening and re-equipment of the Russian fleet became the result of failures of the Crimean war). Anyway, during the sign war between the North and the South, Russia very accurately designated the position, preservation of territorial integrity of the USA and rather fast termination of operations result. Let's notice, the Russian military didn't kill any person, any didn't cripple.

The Russians in the USA didn't kill any person, the Americans destroyed and subjected to tortures tens of thousands of people in Russia.

And after all the matter is not only that the former Russia behaved more nobly, than America, but also the Soviet Russia doesn't come within miles of the USA. It is possible to compare, say, the interventions of the middle the XX centuries which were carried out by the USA and the USSR in territories, which these countries wanted to subordinate to the control. So, at suppression of the Prague mutiny of 1968 by “bloody communists’ 72 persons were lost in total, but during the same period of history, at suppression of resistance of Vietnam by the Americans about two million peace population and not less than one million Vietnamese soldiers were killed.

There is a reasonable question: what the behaviour of the American soldiers in Russia concerning the local population differs from behaviour of the Americans in Indian wars or Englishmen and Spaniards in a colonization era?

So, misters western fans to talk about the rights of people, will you be pleased to become pregnant with this concept really?
