00:00:12six kilometers, then a drone

00:07:13May 2021. London. The oldest
00:07:17British publication, The Telegraph newspaper, publishes
00:07:20declassified materials from the national archives.
00:07:23They talk about a secret military operation against
00:07:26the USSR, planned date - July 1,
00:07:301945. Tactics -
00:07:33Blitzkrieg, code name
00:07:35Unthinkable. Author, Winston
00:07:38Churchill. It's unlikely a more
00:07:41accurate name could have been devised: less than two months
00:07:45after Victory Day, when the USSR's allies, the USA
00:07:49and Great Britain, accepted Germany's
00:07:52capitulation. A new attack on the Soviet
00:07:55Union, which paid the highest price for
00:07:58liberating the world from fascism, indeed
00:08:01seemed unthinkable, especially in the way
00:08:04Churchill planned it. However,
00:08:07facts, documents, eyewitness accounts
00:08:11prove that the British
00:08:13Prime Minister's plan actually fully corresponded
00:08:17to the logic of a quiet war of annihilation, which
00:08:21Churchill methodically waged against the Soviet
00:08:25Union for several
00:08:27decades.
00:08:32The Greatest Briton in History, that was the name of a poll
00:08:36conducted by the British Broadcasting Corporation
00:08:39BBC in 2002.
00:10:02In 1917, the Bolsheviks came to power in Russia, which caused alarm among Western European leaders, because they, hiding behind the false idea
00:10:05of liberating the Russian people, pursued the goal
00:10:09of dividing Russia into spheres of influence.
00:10:25On March 6, 1918,
00:10:27a detachment of 150 British Marines
00:10:30from the battleship HMS Glory landed in Murmansk.
00:10:34On March 7, 1918,
00:10:37the British cruiser Cochrane appeared in Murmansk port.
00:10:40On March 18, 1918,
00:10:44the French cruiser Admiral Aube landed troops
00:10:47there in Murmansk. On May 27,
00:10:511918, the American cruiser
00:10:55Olympia dropped anchor in Murmansk port. On August 1,
00:10:591918, British troops
00:11:02landed in Vladivostok. On August 2,
00:11:051918, in Arkhangelsk, a squadron of
00:11:09seventeen Entente warships landed a nine-thousand-strong
00:11:12contingent on shore.
00:11:15British Prime Minister Lloyd George proposed limiting
00:11:19the intervention, but Winston Churchill insisted that
00:11:22as many troops as possible should be sent to Soviet Russia.
00:11:26He believed that the White Movement was fighting for the interests
00:11:30of England, he had a dialogue with
00:11:33Kolchak, and it must be said,
00:11:36he did a lot to ensure that
00:11:40weapons and resources were supplied to the White Movement.
00:11:44On February 15, 1919,
00:11:47in France at the Paris Peace Conference,
00:11:51Churchill stated that it was necessary to increase, at all costs,
00:11:55the English military presence in Russia. Churchill's idea
00:11:58was that Great Britain, France, the USA, and
00:12:02Japan would send troops to Russia, form a so-called
00:12:06democratic regime there,
00:12:09ensuring free elections. However,
00:12:13the other participants in the conference did not want a new
00:12:16war. An interesting detail: even English
00:12:19newspapers at the time noted Churchill's deep personal
00:12:22interest in a war with Russia.
00:12:25"The country absolutely does not want to wage a big war in
00:12:28Russia, let's put an end to the megalomania of Winston
00:12:32Churchill, a military gambler, let's
00:12:35bring our soldiers home," from an article in the Daily
00:12:38Telegram, May 1919.
00:12:41"The intervention has long since become Mr. Churchill's personal war,"
00:12:44from an article in The Times, April
00:12:481919. But besides
00:12:51political interests, Churchill also had deeply personal ones.
00:12:55His ancestor, the Duke of Marlborough, died near Balaclava during
00:12:59the Crimean War in the mid- 19th century, when
00:13:03the Russian army opposed the coalition of the Ottoman
00:13:06Empire, France, Britain, and the Kingdom
00:13:09of Sardinia. After his partners refused to support
00:13:12the intervention in Russia, Churchill publicly no longer forced
00:13:16the issue, but he did not forget the key idea that he would
00:13:20implement throughout the next 30
00:13:23years. This.
00:13:36force Germany to fight against
00:13:39Bolshevism. Entry in Winston Churchill's diary,
00:13:42April 9, 1919.
00:13:45However, for now, the implementation of
00:13:48Churchill's plan was postponed. Great Britain, like the other
00:13:52European powers, recognized the Soviet Union, which replaced the Russian
00:13:55Empire, and entered into negotiations with
00:13:59the Bolsheviks. This did not suit Churchill, but he
00:14:02did not have many opportunities to express his dissatisfaction
00:14:06publicly. By the beginning of 1922,
00:14:09Winston Churchill's political
00:14:12authority had greatly diminished. Already in
00:14:151921, Winston Churchill was appointed
00:14:18Minister for the Colonies of Great Britain, and three years later he became
00:14:22Chancellor of the Exchequer. However,
00:14:26disappointing for the British: wages decreased, and
00:14:30food prices increased many times over. Mass
00:14:33unemployment began, culminating in the general strike
00:14:36of 1926. After the Conservative Party's
00:14:39defeat in the 1929 elections,
00:14:43Churchill was no longer invited to join
00:14:45the government. Thus began his political
00:14:49isolation, which lasted until 1939.
00:14:52September 1,
00:14:561939, Poland. The invasion
00:14:59of Hitler's troops marked the beginning of World War II.
00:15:03Already on September 3, the United Kingdom
00:15:06officially entered the war. On the same
00:15:10day, Winston Churchill was offered the post of First Lord
00:15:13of the Admiralty with voting rights in the War
00:15:16Council. Churchill's official position was
00:15:19anti-Hitler. But many historians are convinced,
00:15:22the only thing that mattered to Churchill.
00:15:37recently declassified documents became a real
00:15:40sensation. Information about the start date of Germany's war with
00:15:44the Soviet Union, which reached us, was most
00:15:47contradictory. From reliable sources, we received reports that
00:15:51the issue of a German attack on the USSR depended on
00:15:55a secret agreement with the British government, since
00:15:58waging war on two fronts would be too dangerous
00:16:02an undertaking. From the memoirs of Soviet intelligence officer Pavel
00:16:05Sudoplatov. indeed intended to negotiate
00:16:09with Great Britain, after France was occupied and
00:16:12the puppet government of Vichy was created,
00:16:16the only undefeated enemy in Europe
00:16:19remained Britain. It became clear
00:16:22that even the bombings were not leading
00:16:25to any success, and Hitler, in a public speech
00:16:29that was even broadcast on the BBC, pretty much
00:16:32says that he would like to
00:16:35agree with Britain to conclude
00:16:39peace. May 10, 1941,
00:16:42the Führer's close friend, Rudolf Hess, in his
00:16:46Messerschmitt, flew over the North Sea and reached
00:16:49the coast of North Northumberland.
00:16:52Adolf Hitler's closest associate in 1924,
00:16:55he served time with him in
00:16:59Landsberg Prison for his participation in the Beer Hall Putsch. Later,
00:17:02Hess was the Führer's personal secretary, helping
00:17:06to edit Mein Kampf. He enjoyed Hitler's absolute
00:17:09trust until his escape to England in 1941.
00:17:13He landed not far from
00:17:16the residence of Hamilton, the Earl of Hamilton, who
00:17:20brought him to Churchill, Hess.
00:17:24May 11, 1941,
00:17:27London. Winston Churchill was informed
00:17:30of an extraordinary incident. The Prime Minister understood that Hess
00:17:34could become a serious trump card in the spy games. and
00:17:37Germany, however, Churchill's reaction
00:17:41was unexpected, even for his assistants. According
00:17:44to the memoirs of Winston Churchill's secretary,
00:17:48the politician remained completely unperturbed, as if Hess's flight
00:17:52to Great Britain was not
00:17:54news to him at all. He calmly finished watching the comedy,
00:17:58only after that did he inquire about the details
00:18:01of what happened. Just a few days later,
00:18:05British newspapers suggested that the high-ranking Nazi
00:18:09had not escaped at all, but had been specially sent by the Führer
00:18:12and his real mission was peaceful
00:18:15negotiations. Almost a year before Rudolf Hess's mysterious
00:18:19landing on English soil, in August
00:18:221940, the Luftwaffe began bombing
00:18:25Great Britain. The main goal of the Germans was to prepare
00:18:28an invasion of the islands with their paratroopers and
00:18:32force the United Kingdom to capitulate. The German
00:18:35Air Force regularly attacked English ships in the English
00:18:39Channel. In autumn, the bombing of English
00:18:42cities began: London, Rochester, Birmingham,
00:18:46Manchester. By the end of 1940,
00:18:49the goal of the German command had not yet been achieved, and
00:18:53weather conditions on the island deteriorated. The raids almost
00:18:57ceased, but intensified again in April
00:19:001941. Then, as a result of the bombing
00:19:04of Belfast, the largest shipyard of the navy
00:19:07in Britain, about a thousand people died, and half
00:19:11of the city was destroyed. Churchill, quite clearly
00:19:15in radio broadcasts, in radio addresses, said that
00:19:18we will not surrender, we will continue to fight on
00:19:21the beaches with beer bottle necks and so on, even if we
00:19:25have nothing left in our hands, we will not agree to any
00:19:28negotiations. Tired of radiculitis? Take

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