From the first day of the attack of Nazi Germany on the Soviet Union, German soldiers and officers were surprised to note that the locals, the guerrillas and the soldiers of the Red Army call them fascists."Did they mistake us for Italians?" - Surprised the Wehrmacht officers.And in fact, the dominant ideological system of the Germans in 1933 was national socialism, the ruling party - NSDAP, that is, the National Socialist German Workers' Party.While every citizen of the Third Reich, Fascist - it is Italian, though not all, and the support of loved ones Nazi views.
What fagot?
Since ancient times, the right irrigation was one of the main components of agricultural science.Livni washed fertile soil in many countries is very thin, and there were problems with productivity, entailing such trouble as hunger.The water from the surface had to withdraw, but so as not to overdo it, otherwise the inevitable drought - another bane of farmers.Then someone thought to hold underground channels, of which the current shallow moisture will gradually impregnate the ground.The easiest way to implement this idea technically includes the process of digging ditches, laying in her bundles of sticks or reeds and instillation of the irrigation system.These bundles of rods called fascines.A bunch of dried stems break hard, and one - easily.Fascines became a symbol of the forces of cohesion, and that is what the Italian nationalists chose it as a symbol of their movement.Fascist ideology requires a maximum degree of social cohesion around the idea and the leader.More on the emblem was depicted an ax, but to peaceful labor relations he had ...
Under gentle Italian sun
Benito Mussolini attended to the fate of the Italian people in 10-ies of XX century, and in 1922 becameleader of the country.He came to power using democratic means, but gradually suppressed all public organizations that impede forward movement, at least in his understanding.Dreaming of a great Italy, he carried out military campaign in Libya, Abyssinia - with questionable success of the campaign, which brought the country more problems than benefits, but the popularity of a dictator for a long time remained high.In case the economy as a whole went well, the industry is working properly, to build military ships (even for the USSR), cars and planes, and sometimes very good.Hunger did not know the people.

When the Spanish Civil War began, Mussolini helped his friend and associate of General Franco, who was standing on the same ultra-nationalist positions.Italian Fascists fought with the International Brigades, composed of supporters of different political views, from anarchists to the communists.External assistance and carried out by Nazi Germany, and the republican ports trucks arrived with weapons, fuel, equipment and military experts from the Soviet Union.In the thirties, "full of enthusiasm and achievements," the Soviet people learned about what crimes were committed by the Italian fascists: photos of destroyed brutal bombing (they attended German aeroeskadron "Condor") Guernica, Guadalajara and other cities regularly published "The Truth" andall periodicals in the USSR.Reports from the front excited all discussed them at the factory and smoke breaks for the holiday table.Volunteers who want to fight for the brotherly people were many, but they were taken with caution, and only high-quality officers.Officially, the Soviet Union was not involved in the conflict, although the military nature of the assistance and know friends and enemies.
mixed in the mass consciousness and Spanish Falangists, and the Germans and Mussolini's Blackshirts, but Soviet citizens learned that the Nazis - an enemy.
pre-war doubt
in our history was the time, led a large part of the population of the USSR in some confusion.Before the war, in 1939, some even thought that a fascist - is not the enemy, but it is possible that one, especially after Stalin himself raised his glass to the health of the "leader of the German people."Some logic in this act was the Soviet people for a long time instills the idea of the depravity of European democracies, and when he found a strong leader, who began to overwhelm them, there is nothing wrong with that many people do not see.Moreover, socialism was the slogan of Hitler, the Germans and the flag was red, too, but without the hammer and sickle and the Nazi symbol, the swastika.Hurry to express their opinion on the matter, however, people were in no hurry, he recently lucidly explained that the Soviet people to trust their leadership, it is better to know who put up a quarrel with anyone, and when to do it.And dull could recall.
Tirana and the Nazis
Despite a joint military parade in Brest, the famous Stalin's toast and numerous assurances of the inviolability of the Soviet-German friendship, according to the memoirs of contemporaries events, the war is still expected, and an ambulance.And it suddenly occurred.Two modes, looks very similar to the view of many common attributes totalitarianism suddenly became hostile to an extreme degree, expressed in armed conflict.
From this we can conclude that not every dictator - fascist.This concept provides the highest degree of nationalism, propaganda of racial superiority and exclusive rights to the "chosen" people in a leading role in world history.The right to rule by virtue of only one ethnic origin entered into a logical contradiction with the idea of international hegemony of the proletariat.The truce was temporary and solve tactical problems (according to some historians, because Stalin was trying to delay the war, while others accuse him of creating a common border with Germany in the place where it was previously Poland).Strategically, the war was inevitable.
Fascist - Nazi German
During the war in the occupied territories of Nazi troops and their allies committed crimes against humanity, by which could not be reduced even judges of the International Tribunal at Nuremberg.The fact that violence is not always justified, showed other belligerents (think double the atomic bombing of Japanese cities and the destruction of Dresden), at that time preferred not to remember, as well as about the repressive methods of the Communists.Abstract American, British or Soviet soldiers still perceived winner and liberator who copied all the sins of the result - the defeat of the countries that have become carriers of absolute evil.Shades of brown color did not matter, people of the world will soon forget about who was Hungarian Horthyites, adherents of "Great Romania", the supporters of Salazar in Portugal and even the Italian Blackshirts.But all is well remembered today, who is a fascist.It was the most terrible of all nationalists, the German Nazis.It is a long time overshadowed all the others.
Again beam and a hatchet
world is full of cruelty today.After 1945, almost did not stop the war in every corner of the world, sometimes large, and often local.When told about a particularly terrible case of violence against the civilian population, it often use the phrase "Nazi atrocities."They took place in Vietnam, Korea, Yugoslavia, Cambodia and many other mills.Something like this happens almost every day just outside the borders of Russia.If today nobody thinks about what is meant by a fascist ideology and what fullness of this political term.And it is clearly demonstrated by the same chernorubashechnoy emblem from distant twenties - beam, symbolizing the unity of the nation in the fight against those whom nationalists consider outsiders.And forget about the hatchet is not necessary.
