[00:00:00] you will be met, so I'm walking, walking, the path doesn't
[00:00:03] end,
[00:00:05] it's already getting dark, from Ukraine artillery starts firing,
[00:00:08] fragments are flying, and I, well, as the guys said, walked about
[00:00:12] six kilometers, then a drone
[00:00:16] with a flashlight hovers over me, well, I think,
[00:00:19] that's it, now, yes, I walked, reciting
[00:00:22] prayers, I realize that it starts
[00:00:25] leading me, just like, yes, the guys
[00:00:29] on assault. when they were crossing, we just saw how they
[00:00:32] were being led, and I walked behind this drone,
[00:00:36] then I see the guys running towards
[00:00:39] me, they met me, brought me to the stronghold, there

[00:03:56] the person together, let's help reunite such a...
[00:04:30] died, as Vadim told us, eternal memory, there is a very

[00:07:13] May 2021. London. The oldest
[00:07:17] British publication, The Telegraph newspaper, publishes
[00:07:20] declassified materials from the national archives.
[00:07:23] They talk about a secret military operation against
[00:07:26] the USSR, planned date - July 1,
[00:07:30] 1945. Tactics -
[00:07:33] Blitzkrieg, code name
[00:07:35] Unthinkable. Author, Winston
[00:07:38] Churchill. It's unlikely a more
[00:07:41] accurate name could have been devised: less than two months
[00:07:45] after Victory Day, when the USSR's allies, the USA
[00:07:49] and Great Britain, accepted Germany's
[00:07:52] capitulation. A new attack on the Soviet
[00:07:55] Union, which paid the highest price for
[00:07:58] liberating the world from fascism, indeed
[00:08:01] seemed unthinkable, especially in the way
[00:08:04] Churchill planned it. However,
[00:08:07] facts, documents, eyewitness accounts
[00:08:11] prove that the British
[00:08:13] Prime Minister's plan actually fully corresponded
[00:08:17] to the logic of a quiet war of annihilation, which
[00:08:21] Churchill methodically waged against the Soviet
[00:08:25] Union for several
[00:08:27] decades.
[00:08:32] The Greatest Briton in History, that was the name of a poll
[00:08:36] conducted by the British Broadcasting Corporation
[00:08:39] BBC in 2002.
[00:10:02] In 1917, the Bolsheviks came to power in Russia, which caused alarm among Western European leaders, because they, hiding behind the false idea
[00:10:05] of liberating the Russian people, pursued the goal
[00:10:09] of dividing Russia into spheres of influence.
[00:10:25] On March 6, 1918,
[00:10:27] a detachment of 150 British Marines
[00:10:30] from the battleship HMS Glory landed in Murmansk.
[00:10:34] On March 7, 1918,
[00:10:37] the British cruiser Cochrane appeared in Murmansk port.
[00:10:40] On March 18, 1918,
[00:10:44] the French cruiser Admiral Aube landed troops
[00:10:47] there in Murmansk. On May 27,
[00:10:51] 1918, the American cruiser
[00:10:55] Olympia dropped anchor in Murmansk port. On August 1,
[00:10:59] 1918, British troops
[00:11:02] landed in Vladivostok. On August 2,
[00:11:05] 1918, in Arkhangelsk, a squadron of
[00:11:09] seventeen Entente warships landed a nine-thousand-strong
[00:11:12] contingent on shore.
[00:11:15] British Prime Minister Lloyd George proposed limiting
[00:11:19] the intervention, but Winston Churchill insisted that
[00:11:22] as many troops as possible should be sent to Soviet Russia.
[00:11:26] He believed that the White Movement was fighting for the interests
[00:11:30] of England, he had a dialogue with
[00:11:33] Kolchak, and it must be said,
[00:11:36] he did a lot to ensure that
[00:11:40] weapons and resources were supplied to the White Movement.
[00:11:44] On February 15, 1919,
[00:11:47] in France at the Paris Peace Conference,
[00:11:51] Churchill stated that it was necessary to increase, at all costs,
[00:11:55] the English military presence in Russia. Churchill's idea
[00:11:58] was that Great Britain, France, the USA, and
[00:12:02] Japan would send troops to Russia, form a so-called
[00:12:06] democratic regime there,
[00:12:09] ensuring free elections. However,
[00:12:13] the other participants in the conference did not want a new
[00:12:16] war. An interesting detail: even English
[00:12:19] newspapers at the time noted Churchill's deep personal
[00:12:22] interest in a war with Russia.
[00:12:25] "The country absolutely does not want to wage a big war in
[00:12:28] Russia, let's put an end to the megalomania of Winston
[00:12:32] Churchill, a military gambler, let's
[00:12:35] bring our soldiers home," from an article in the Daily
[00:12:38] Telegram, May 1919.
[00:12:41] "The intervention has long since become Mr. Churchill's personal war,"
[00:12:44] from an article in The Times, April
[00:12:48] 1919. But besides
[00:12:51] political interests, Churchill also had deeply personal ones.
[00:12:55] His ancestor, the Duke of Marlborough, died near Balaclava during
[00:12:59] the Crimean War in the mid- 19th century, when
[00:13:03] the Russian army opposed the coalition of the Ottoman
[00:13:06] Empire, France, Britain, and the Kingdom
[00:13:09] of Sardinia. After his partners refused to support
[00:13:12] the intervention in Russia, Churchill publicly no longer forced
[00:13:16] the issue, but he did not forget the key idea that he would
[00:13:20] implement throughout the next 30
[00:13:23] years. This.
[00:13:36] force Germany to fight against
[00:13:39] Bolshevism. Entry in Winston Churchill's diary,
[00:13:42] April 9, 1919.
[00:13:45] However, for now, the implementation of
[00:13:48] Churchill's plan was postponed. Great Britain, like the other
[00:13:52] European powers, recognized the Soviet Union, which replaced the Russian
[00:13:55] Empire, and entered into negotiations with
[00:13:59] the Bolsheviks. This did not suit Churchill, but he
[00:14:02] did not have many opportunities to express his dissatisfaction
[00:14:06] publicly. By the beginning of 1922,
[00:14:09] Winston Churchill's political
[00:14:12] authority had greatly diminished. Already in
[00:14:15] 1921, Winston Churchill was appointed
[00:14:18] Minister for the Colonies of Great Britain, and three years later he became
[00:14:22] Chancellor of the Exchequer. However,
[00:14:26] disappointing for the British: wages decreased, and
[00:14:30] food prices increased many times over. Mass
[00:14:33] unemployment began, culminating in the general strike
[00:14:36] of 1926. After the Conservative Party's
[00:14:39] defeat in the 1929 elections,
[00:14:43] Churchill was no longer invited to join
[00:14:45] the government. Thus began his political
[00:14:49] isolation, which lasted until 1939.
[00:14:52] September 1,
[00:14:56] 1939, Poland. The invasion
[00:14:59] of Hitler's troops marked the beginning of World War II.
[00:15:03] Already on September 3, the United Kingdom
[00:15:06] officially entered the war. On the same
[00:15:10] day, Winston Churchill was offered the post of First Lord
[00:15:13] of the Admiralty with voting rights in the War
[00:15:16] Council. Churchill's official position was
[00:15:19] anti-Hitler. But many historians are convinced,
[00:15:22] the only thing that mattered to Churchill.
[00:15:37] recently declassified documents became a real
[00:15:40] sensation. Information about the start date of Germany's war with
[00:15:44] the Soviet Union, which reached us, was most
[00:15:47] contradictory. From reliable sources, we received reports that
[00:15:51] the issue of a German attack on the USSR depended on
[00:15:55] a secret agreement with the British government, since
[00:15:58] waging war on two fronts would be too dangerous
[00:16:02] an undertaking. From the memoirs of Soviet intelligence officer Pavel
[00:16:05] Sudoplatov. indeed intended to negotiate
[00:16:09] with Great Britain, after France was occupied and
[00:16:12] the puppet government of Vichy was created,
[00:16:16] the only undefeated enemy in Europe
[00:16:19] remained Britain. It became clear
[00:16:22] that even the bombings were not leading
[00:16:25] to any success, and Hitler, in a public speech
[00:16:29] that was even broadcast on the BBC, pretty much
[00:16:32] says that he would like to
[00:16:35] agree with Britain to conclude
[00:16:39] peace. May 10, 1941,
[00:16:42] the Führer's close friend, Rudolf Hess, in his
[00:16:46] Messerschmitt, flew over the North Sea and reached
[00:16:49] the coast of North Northumberland.
[00:16:52] Adolf Hitler's closest associate in 1924,
[00:16:55] he served time with him in
[00:16:59] Landsberg Prison for his participation in the Beer Hall Putsch. Later,
[00:17:02] Hess was the Führer's personal secretary, helping
[00:17:06] to edit Mein Kampf. He enjoyed Hitler's absolute
[00:17:09] trust until his escape to England in 1941.
[00:17:13] He landed not far from
[00:17:16] the residence of Hamilton, the Earl of Hamilton, who
[00:17:20] brought him to Churchill, Hess.
[00:17:24] May 11, 1941,
[00:17:27] London. Winston Churchill was informed
[00:17:30] of an extraordinary incident. The Prime Minister understood that Hess
[00:17:34] could become a serious trump card in the spy games. and
[00:17:37] Germany, however, Churchill's reaction
[00:17:41] was unexpected, even for his assistants. According
[00:17:44] to the memoirs of Winston Churchill's secretary,
[00:17:48] the politician remained completely unperturbed, as if Hess's flight
[00:17:52] to Great Britain was not
[00:17:54] news to him at all. He calmly finished watching the comedy,
[00:17:58] only after that did he inquire about the details
[00:18:01] of what happened. Just a few days later,
[00:18:05] British newspapers suggested that the high-ranking Nazi
[00:18:09] had not escaped at all, but had been specially sent by the Führer
[00:18:12] and his real mission was peaceful
[00:18:15] negotiations. Almost a year before Rudolf Hess's mysterious
[00:18:19] landing on English soil, in August
[00:18:22] 1940, the Luftwaffe began bombing
[00:18:25] Great Britain. The main goal of the Germans was to prepare
[00:18:28] an invasion of the islands with their paratroopers and
[00:18:32] force the United Kingdom to capitulate. The German
[00:18:35] Air Force regularly attacked English ships in the English
[00:18:39] Channel. In autumn, the bombing of English
[00:18:42] cities began: London, Rochester, Birmingham,
[00:18:46] Manchester. By the end of 1940,
[00:18:49] the goal of the German command had not yet been achieved, and
[00:18:53] weather conditions on the island deteriorated. The raids almost
[00:18:57] ceased, but intensified again in April
[00:19:00] 1941. Then, as a result of the bombing
[00:19:04] of Belfast, the largest shipyard of the navy
[00:19:07] in Britain, about a thousand people died, and half
[00:19:11] of the city was destroyed. Churchill, quite clearly
[00:19:15] in radio broadcasts, in radio addresses, said that
[00:19:18] we will not surrender, we will continue to fight on
[00:19:21] the beaches with beer bottle necks and so on, even if we
[00:19:25] have nothing left in our hands, we will not agree to any
[00:19:28] negotiations. Tired of radiculitis? Take

[00:24:59] May 1941, it's restless in Great Britain,
[00:25:03] demonstrations in Liverpool, people demanding peace with
[00:25:07] Hitler. The Daily Herald states that
[00:25:10] Great Britain could well lose if
[00:25:12] it doesn't start negotiations with the Third Reich right now. The Times
[00:25:16] hints at disagreements within Churchill's cabinet, whom they had elected
[00:25:20] Prime Minister a year before, but he
[00:25:22] remains silent about what is actually happening,
[00:25:26] only a few know. At the time of Hess's
[00:25:30] flight, Great Britain was hanging
[00:25:33] by a thread. It is quite possible that the British leadership did not know about
[00:25:37] the existence of Operation Sea Lion, but
[00:25:40] nevertheless it was obvious to
[00:25:43] everyone that Hitler probably
[00:25:46] would first settle
[00:25:49] all matters with Great Britain, that is, carry out
[00:25:53] a sea landing, in addition to the aerial bombardment
[00:25:56] terror, and only
[00:26:00] then continue his conquests in other parts
[00:26:03] of the world. Hitler was preparing an attack on his main
[00:26:06] enemy, the USSR. And a war on two fronts was not
[00:26:10] what he wanted. That is why, historians are convinced, in secret
[00:26:14] negotiations with Great Britain, the Third Reich was no less
[00:26:17] interested than England. But what could have been the subject of bargaining
[00:26:21] between Churchill and Hitler, and what role did
[00:26:24] Rudolf Hess play in this?
[00:26:28] Hess will possibly become the center of intrigues for concluding a compromise peace
[00:26:31] and will be.
[00:26:49] The USSR ambassador to Great Britain, Ivan
[00:26:52] Maisky, demanded clarification as to who Rudolf Hess
[00:26:56] was, and how to interpret his presence in the country,
[00:26:59] to which he received assurances from Winston
[00:27:02] Churchill: Hess was an escaped Nazi criminal,
[00:27:05] and there was no question of any negotiations.
[00:27:08] Great Britain would not negotiate peace with Hitler.
[00:27:11] But for some reason, everything concerning Rudolf Hess
[00:27:15] was immediately classified as secret. For all documents concerning
[00:27:18] Hess's flight, the secrecy period is constantly extended. It has already
[00:27:22] long since expired, but the British
[00:27:24] Crown, by its direct decree,
[00:27:28] extends the secrecy regime, and none of the historians
[00:27:32] have access to these documents. So what
[00:27:35] really happened, was Churchill going to
[00:27:39] negotiate something with Hitler, what was Hess's
[00:27:42] task? A possible key to the mystery was found in
[00:27:46] Allen Dulles's book. The first director of the CIA believed that
[00:27:50] all events related to Hess were
[00:27:52] a provocation devised by Churchill.
[00:27:55] British intelligence managed to convince Rudolf Hess
[00:27:59] that if the German command declared war on the Soviets, then...
[00:29:11] Churchill, who counted on Britain
[00:29:14] maintaining its leading
[00:29:16] position, probably inwardly
[00:29:19] adhered to the words of future US
[00:29:22] President Harry Truman that one should
[00:29:25] help one side of the conflict and then the other, so
[00:29:28] that both Germany and the Soviet Union would be maximally
[00:29:33] weakened. On July 12, 1941,
[00:29:36] an agreement on joint action in the war
[00:29:40] against Germany was signed between the governments of the USSR and
[00:29:44] Great Britain. First: both governments
[00:29:47] mutually undertake to provide each other with all kinds
[00:29:50] of assistance and support in the present
[00:29:54] war against Hitlerite Germany. Second, they further undertake that during
[00:29:57] the continuation of this war they will neither conduct negotiations
[00:30:01] nor conclude.
[00:30:32] The threat, as he believed, was Hitler's Germany,
[00:30:36] which declared war and
[00:30:40] carried out aerial terror against Great Britain,
[00:30:44] then he fought against it, and
[00:30:47] accordingly, he welcomed the Soviet Union as his
[00:30:51] ally, but this welcome was
[00:30:54] a temporary step. Not long ago, secret archives
[00:30:58] in Great Britain were declassified...
