War Crimes

Soviet Union Guilty of War Crimes in 1939-1945

Soviet Union’s aggressive war against peace in 1939-1940. Verbally it was flipped to be defensive operations by Stalin. Bolsheviks were a bunch of lawless rebels that had no respect for decency and moral values. Joseph Stalin was the number one Bolshevik and a proud, hardened professional criminal with a seared conscience.

Western Allies were naïve in believing the words that came out of Stalin’s mouth; he would lie through his teeth if it advanced his position in manipulating the Western Allie leaders.  

Stalin lied about the executed 22,000 Polish nations by the Soviet secret police in the forest of Katyn. He lied even after having had a request by the secret police chief requesting the execution of 22,000 Polish national prisoners. Stalin signed the request with the Soviet foreign minister and other Soviet leaders. The professional hardened criminal behavior of Soviet Union leaders is the template that the Russian leadership is following with the Russian president Vladimir Putin. The Russian president lies through his teeth without even thinking twice. He is a hardened professional criminal.

European leaders should wake up and start living in reality; Russian leadership is seriously corrupted and modeled after the same Spirit as the Soviet Union leadership. Insight into the hardened professional Joseph Stalin mentality is visible in the Molotov & Ribbentrop Pact’s details and the numerous invasions and annexations that soon followed.

Nazi Germany and the USSR Pact of Aggression

The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact was a non-aggression pact between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union that enabled those two powers to partition Poland between them. German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop signed the pact in Moscow on August 23, 1939, and Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov.

Its clauses provided a written guarantee of peace by each party towards the other and a commitment that declared that neither government would ally itself or aid an enemy of the other. While they would invade many East European countries.

In addition to the publicly-announced stipulations of non-aggression, the treaty included the Secret Protocol, which defined the borders of Soviet and German spheres of influence across Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Finland.

The secret protocol also recognized the interest of Lithuania in the Vilnius region, and Germany declared its complete disinterest in Bessarabia.

The rumor of the existence of the Secret Protocol was proved only when it was made public and used as evidence to convict the Nazi war criminals during the Nuremberg Trials.

The Allies let Stalin and the Soviets off the hook because Stalin had bluffed himself and the USSR as being innocent of war crimes or genocide. The Western leaders were naïve and took Stalin at his word.

Soon after the pact, Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. Soviet leader Joseph Stalin ordered the Soviet invasion of Poland on September 17, one day after a Soviet–Japanese ceasefire came into effect after the Battles of Khalkhin Gol.

After the invasions, the new border between the two countries was confirmed by the supplementary protocol of the German-Soviet Frontier Treaty.

After the failed Soviet invasion of Finland, Stalin threatened to continue the aggressive war against Finland unless Finland accepted peace on Stalin’s terms.

After several negotiations, Finland government leaders accepted Stalin’s extortion of materials and land grabs. 1940 Stalin extortion in Moscow is filed under the name of the Moscow Peace Treaty. Here is a copy of the Stalin terms for ending the aggressive war against Finland.   

Following the extortion in March 1940, parts of the Karelia and Salla regions in Finland were annexed by the Soviet Union, and the borders on the maps were redrawn.   

That was not the end of Stalin’s invasions and annexations. Soon followed the Soviet annexation of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and parts of Romania (Bessarabia, Northern Bukovina, and the Hertsa region).

Concern for ethnic Ukrainians and Belarusians had been used as pretexts for the Soviets’ invasion of Poland. Stalin’s invasion of Bukovina in 1940 violated the pact since it went beyond the Soviet sphere of influence that had been agreed with the Axis.

Within the days from the date this treaty enters into effect, the government of Finland shall withdraw all its military forces from Hanko Cape, which together with its adjacent islands shall be transferred to the jurisdiction of the U.S.S.R. in accordance with this article of the treaty.  

Article 7

(Treaty, 1940)

The Articles Reveal the Severity of Stalin’s Extortion Demands.  

Article 2.

  • Territory demands.
  • Entire cities and towns.
  • The entire Karelian Isthmus,  
  • the city of Viipuri, and the Viipuri Bay with its islands.  
  • Western and northern shores of Lake Ladoga,
  • the cities of Kexholm, Sortavala,
  • and the town of Suojärvi.   
  • Many significant islands in the Gulf of Finland
  • Area east of Märkäjärvi
  • with the town of Kuolajärvi,
  • and part of the Rybachi and Sredni peninsulas  

Article 7.

The government of Finland grants to the Soviet Union the right of transit for goods between the Soviet Union and Sweden to develop this traffic along the shortest railway route;

the Soviet Union and Finland consider it necessary to build, each upon its territory and insofar as possible in the year 1940, a railway which shall connect Kantalahti-Soviet (Kandalaksha) with Kemijärvi-Finland.

Soviet Moscow Demanded Finland to Build the Railway from Kemijärvi to Salla.  

The new railway construction demand on Finland in 1940 was another extortion demand by Moscow.

There was an entire hidden world of agendas in the Soviet leaders as their demands unfolded. The new railway demand was located at a strategic location, useful for the fast mobilization of troops.

It was located far north Finland, half of it inside the Arctic region.

Useful for:  

  • Transportation of Soviet troops to the Sweden border.  
  • Transportation of Soviet tanks into Finland interior.
  • Transportation of supplies and munitions to Soviet troops in Finland.  
  • The new Railway on the Finland side was to be built 86.8 kilometers long, heading East from the city of Kemijärvi to the Soviet border.
  • That would have allowed the Soviets to get access to the Finland interior railway grid and cut through Finland from East to West, at the narrowest section of Finland, between Russia and Sweden.

Article 7 of the 1940 Moscow peace treaty made people in Lapland nervous. They instantly knew that the Russian bear was up to no good; they could smell it.

With the new 86.8-kilometer-long Railway connecting the old town of Salla to Kemijärvi.

There was already a railway line from Kemijärvi to Rovaniemi, and from there towards West to Sweden.

The Soviets had already started building a railway from Kantalahti to the Finnish border in 1939, before the M & R Pact.  

The responsibility of construction on the Soviet part of the Railway was the Main Board of the GULAG under the NKVD of the Soviet Interior Commissar.

They built the Soviet Railway using prisoners. In the Soviet railway construction, there were GULAG prisoners used:

  • May 1940 – 58,198 prisoners in the building project      
  • August – 31,808,       November – 26,469
  • January 1941 – 31,618.      

The construction project was terminated on January 30, 1941.

At the same time, the Soviet Union built a track from Rutsy to the Muurmann line through Alakurtti to the national border. The Soviet Union began construction of its 171 km long section on January 19, 1940, and completed on February 25, 1941, while Finland’s share was completed and merged into Alakurtti on May 15, 1941.   Finland commenced building the Railway as the Moscow extortion demanded; the work commenced in June 1940. At one time, the most workers on the Finland side of the new railway project were 3200 workers at various locations of the Railway.

The Soviet diplomats kept on the pressure to speed up the new railway building progress and to have it completed in 1940. There were many scenarios being considered behind government doors.

The intelligence was seeking out information behind the Soviet lines to find out what was Stalin up to next?  

The previous November 1939, the Soviet failed invasion attempt was a shocker for all the ordinary peace-loving people of the Nordic countries. Everybody was on edge; once again, people lost all trust in the Soviet leadership.

The Soviet leadership proved themselves one more time that they were professional criminals. Agents of lawlessness, going about with no respect for the rule of law. Planning violence to the innocent law respecting people of the land.
