Guerrilla Warfare: Unknown Victory Multiplier
The enemy invaded our borders treacherously and advanced swiftly. The first under the German boot were the territories received by the USSR as a result of the Stalinist "liberation campaign" of 1939-1940. The rural population, "who fell asleep under the Poles, woke up under the Soviets," were dissatisfied with the new regime and, above all, collectivization.
The spirit of the army is a mass multiplier that gives the product of strength.
It
is the task of science to determine and express the meaning of the spirit of the army, this unknown factor [1].
L. N. Tolstoy
The enemy invaded our borders treacherously and advanced swiftly. The first under the German boot were the territories received by the USSR as a result of the Stalinist "liberation campaign" of 1939-1940. The rural population, "who fell asleep under the Poles, woke up under the Soviets," were dissatisfied with the new regime and, above all, collectivization. The Soviet transformations here, as elsewhere, were accompanied, if not explicitly, then latent resistance from the peasants, accustomed to earning their bread by the sweat of their brow and not ready to share with the incomprehensible, and therefore hostile, Soviet state.
Fascist propaganda worked. "Hitler is a liberator!" - it was written on every fence. “Finally, collective farm slavery will come to an end. Germans are cultured people, they will not offend”. These meanings were easily introduced into the subconscious of the muscular peasants, tired of having to live according to the Soviet laws of return in a flock. They rejoiced not only in the countryside, where in 1941 two-thirds of the population of the USSR lived. “Let there be war! Let them just give the Russian people arms! He will turn him against the Soviet regime that he hates. And he will overthrow her! " - wrote the emigrant and monarchist V. Shulgin.
Then he will be ashamed of these fantasies …
We are obliged to exterminate the population
Fascist ideology did not imply the prosperity of the occupied lands. The Slavic population (lower race) was subject to ruthless exploitation, reduction, and ideally - destruction. Germany only needed resources: land and slaves. The latter were in much smaller quantities than those who lived in the occupied territories.
Back in March 1941, Hitler declared: “We are obliged to exterminate the population. I have the right to destroy millions of people of the lower race who multiply like worms. Soon the occupiers clearly demonstrated what the Fuhrer had in mind.
The German authorities were not going to abolish the collective farms - it was easier to confiscate food that way. Livestock was taken from the peasants, the breadwinners and "blood" were driven away to work in distant Germany. The peasants gradually realized: cunning strangers again led them on the chaff. For many of them, against the background of the pompous and vociferous German "liberators", the Communists were at least bad, but their own.
The German was going to stay here for centuries, eat, drink, breathe and sleep deliciously at the expense of the local people. As the realization of this obviousness, the critical mass of patience in the muscular psyche of the peasant population inexorably turned into a "club of the people's war." The movement was led by urethral dads, capable, like Genghis Khan, of leading motley hordes without insignia to victory over regular and superior enemy forces: S. A. Kovpak (Ded), A. F. Fedorov, P. P. Vershigora, V. A. Begma, N. I. Naumov, M. I. Duka, M. F. Shmyrev (Bat'ka Minaj), F. E. Strelets, T. P. Bumazhkov, A. N. Saburov and many, many others. The demographic metaphysics of muscle always embodies (pushes into the flesh) the lack for survival of the pack with amazing accuracy.
"I don't hold anyone"
In the course of guerrilla warfare, insurgent groups of different social origin, nationality and religion quickly acquired a clear systemic hierarchy. Discipline in the detachments was the most severe, obedience to the commander was unconditional. This was the key to the survival of small detachments in the enemy rear. Cohesive teams (flocks) were formed from scattered groups of desperate people. Those whose mental properties did not meet the requirements of the unwritten partisan charter were eliminated and left. The rest vowed "not to let go of weapons until the last fascist bastard on our land is destroyed." They fought to the last. Captivity for a partisan meant cruel torture and painful death.
“I’m not holding anyone,” SA Kovpak told his people. - Nobody, okay? We ourselves came here - ourselves and will leave when needed. Now we are already soldiers, and what it is, any of us knows. I will not repeat. Anyone understands: he came to the forest - it means he took the oath to stand to the end. He left the forest without permission - that means he trampled on the oath. Consequently, he condemned himself to death. So I ask: who has changed his mind and wants to go home? - He waited a minute and finished: - So, no one? Well, everything is correct”[2].
By the winter of 1941, the partisan movement had become a powerful organized force of resistance to the Nazis. The partisans seized the enemy's weapons, derailed trains, blew up bridges, mercilessly destroyed the enemy's manpower. "Blood for blood, death for death!" This Old Testament call reached the very depths of the psychic of every partisan. Blood feud for the death of their relatives, for the grief of their people became the main motive of the fighting.
Dependent on Hitler
LN Tolstoy wrote about the war of 1812: “Blessed is the people who, in a moment of trial, without asking how others acted according to the rules in such cases, with simplicity and ease lifts up the first club they come across and nails it until then, until in his soul the feeling of insult and revenge is replaced by contempt and pity. The same thing happened during the Great Patriotic War. At first, unarmed, disorganized, in a state of despair and panic, people somehow found both weapons and commanders.
From minefields, risking their lives, they brought mines, dismantled, removed explosives and destroyed enemy communications with it. In the very first battle, Kovpak's detachment lured the German tanks into the swamp. Having destroyed the enemy, the partisans took rich trophies - three German tanks. "I am dependent on Adolf Hitler!" - Grandfather boasted, dressed in an obscure beast Magyar fur coat (reminiscent of a plucked mink) and dapper chrome German boots with a trophy machine gun at the ready. It is difficult to disagree with the author of War and Peace here: “People who have the greatest desire to fight will always put themselves in the most favorable conditions for a fight”.
The villagers united in partisan detachments with the Red Army soldiers breaking through from the encirclement or escaping from Nazi captivity. The commander of the Belarusian partisan detachment A. S. Azonchik did not have time to either evacuate or be drafted into the army, and remained in the occupied territory. Already on June 25, 1941, he gathered eight people around him, ready to fight the Nazis, and took them into the forest. By July 1, the group had 64 people, a month later - 184. Azonchik's detachment conducted 439 military operations. The commander himself derailed 47 enemy echelons.
There were many such units. People joined the partisans in whole families, like the Ignatov family: father is a commander, mother is a nurse, sons are miners. All died. In the first year of the war, the partisan detachments suffered huge losses. Often they simply disappeared without a trace. Everything changed after the defeat of the Germans near Moscow, when the command decided to help the partisans and coordinate their raids with the actions of regular units of the Red Army. The insurgent units learned to interact with neighbors and units of the Red Army. Partisan leaders often received assignments from Headquarters.
Do not go too far with the dads!
The interaction of the authorities with the leaders of the popular resistance did not always go smoothly: the urethral freedom was not combined with the concepts of the party and official hierarchy. But the military leadership of the USSR could not ignore the partisan movement, for all its relative smallness and diversity. Invaluable assistance to the units of the Red Army was provided by fearless partisans behind enemy lines, pulling off up to 10% of German military equipment and manpower. The experience of the civil war showed: it is better to have a father on your side.
The glory of the partisan leader thundered far around. Few people saw, but even in distant villages they heard about Sagittarius, Kovpak, Vershigor, Minai, about their daring raids on fascist echelons, fearlessness and daring. The partisans were the spiritual support of the people, their hope for freedom, for deliverance, for survival. With their audacious sabotage, the partisans clearly demonstrated: the enemy can and must be beaten with mortal combat, and not later, but here and now!
The leadership of the Central Partisan Headquarters had to close their eyes to some (systemically understandable) features of the partisan fathers and their people. So, A. N. Saburov refused to obey the higher command on the territory of the Bryansk region. Inflating, in the words of the staff officers, the reputation of his detachment "to an incredible size," Saburov managed to maintain independence despite orders from above. The headquarters was afraid to touch Saburov, rightly believing that a demotion (rank) of this headstrong and fearless commander could negatively affect the morale of his people - willful and fearless. The leader and the flock are one. The military-political leadership intuitively sensed the difference between the commanders of the regular units and the partisan leaders and tried not to go too far.
What can we say about attempts to demote, if even the awards were sometimes perceived by urethral dads not quite adequately from the point of view of skin military commanders. When the commissar of the Kovpak detachment Semyon Rudnev was awarded the Order of the Badge of Honor, Grandfather, in anger, dictated to the radio operator a telegram with the following content: “Moscow, Kremlin. Comrade Stalin. My commissar is a combat partisan commander, not a milkmaid to award him the Badge of Honor. Kovpak . The radio operator was afraid to send such a message.
Fight in style, fun and carefree
The role of the partisan leader was approached by a person who was ready to break the rules and orders in order to fulfill the main task - to move the pack into the future without fascism. Often, the repressed military became commanders of the partisans (Commissar S. V. Rudnev, the right hand of Kovpak, a veteran of the partisan war in Spain; anarchist F. M. Mokrousov, who strangely occupied only the post of director of the reserve at the beginning of the war; legendary D. N. Medvedev, twice dismissed from the NKVD: in 1937 and 1941). Only people with a special mentality of the mental unconscious - urethral leaders who endowed the flock with their properties - insolence, love of freedom, courage, could fight in the conditions of the enemy rear, in complete isolation and at the same time fight with style.
“You need to fight in the partisans with style, and most importantly - fun and carefree. With a dull, sad look and a mournful voice, I cannot imagine a partisan. Without daring in the eyes, you can do such things only under duress. The partisans were volunteers, romantics, there were also random people, but the first took the upper hand over them and instilled in them their own style. You can't say better than the partisan P. Vershigora.
Even among the “new” population generally hostile to the Soviet regime, there were always those whose hearts were on the side of the partisans, because they were “ours”: Russians, Belarusians, Ukrainians. The partisans never lacked helpers. Even the children collected information about the Nazis located in the village and passed it on to the partisans. Women and old people fought with weapons on a par with men.
Child heroes
Vladimir Bebekh recalls: “In 1943 I was 12 years old, my mother was shot by the Nazis, and I fled into the forest to the partisans. I will never forget the battles in the Zlynkovo forests. The Nazis surrounded the compound. Everyone fought: women, old people, children. I remember how a fascist tankette broke into the camp, to the commander's dugout. A dozen and a half machine gunners surrounded him and several partisans. The fight was not for life, but for death. After all, there is nowhere to wait for help. And then all who could still hold weapons rose to the attack. I ran with them, too, firing a ladies' pistol. Probably, the sight of the bandaged, bloody people, who were not afraid of bullets or tank armor, had an effect on the Nazis stronger than their officer's orders - they ran, and the wedge backed away, drove away …"
The Germans were afraid of the partisans, who seemed to be everywhere. Every old man, every child could be a partisan, every teenager was guaranteed to be one. The Nazis did not make allowances for age. After several unsuccessful attempts to destroy the detachment of Father Minay (Shmyrev), the Nazis shot four of his young children: 14, 10, 7 and 3 years old.
The pioneer heroes Zina Portnova, Marat Kazei, Lena Golikov, Valea Kotik, Sasha Chekalin and other partisan children, scouts, and minerals who gave their lives for the freedom of their native land were 13-16 years old. An 18-year-old partisan Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya died as a martyr. All of them were posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, Zoya is the first of the women.
Sho people want
Secondary executions for the heroes are trying to arrange reporters from history, invent new "facts", pervert the meaning of the great struggle of ideas incomprehensible to the poor in spirit, when unarmed women and children were ready to tear out the throat of the hated fascist bastard with their teeth. The word "fascist" has devalued, faded. There are fewer and fewer people among us who remember what it means.
People are leaving who remember how Batka Kovpak “walked” around Ukraine, urged on the staff officers, increased the speed of raids, did “sho the people want”. Because only the urethral leader can express and embody the aspirations and aspirations of the people with the urethral-muscular mentality. P. Vershigora, who knew S. Kovpak well, recalls: “Reconnaissance reported that a 40,000-strong army with guns, tanks, aircraft was moving somewhere, and I, not grasping the meaning of this message, reported to Kovpak. He suddenly laughed cheerfully, childishly, and said:
- The same - we are. I'm dead, we are!
I, embarrassed, objected:
- And where are our tanks, where are the planes?
The old man looked at me slyly:
- Well, with that, they are dumb. If the people want it, they won’t get the bulls, so there’s there.”

The origins of the victorious partisan war go far into antiquity and deep into the psychic unconscious of the peoples of the forest and steppe - urethral-muscular people, who are now for some reason divided into Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians. The "paradox of nomads", when, contrary to logic and calculations, the "weaker" defeats the "stronger", we have inherited from our common ancestors - the warriors of Genghis Khan, the conquerors of Eurasia. Our common spiritual homeland is not an edge - an endless endless fatherland, a free urethral Fatherland, which goes back to unity in the main, systemic, whole. We will focus on this.
